About the Product
Explore new frontiers of imaging expression with the α7S, combining phenomenal sensitivity (up to ISO 409600)1 with ultra low noise. That means a lack of light no longer limits your artistic range.
Meet the Full Frame, palm-sized α7R: portability and pro capability, united as never before. Packing a 36.4MP 35mm full-frame sensor into a body half the weight of leading DSLRs, this is the new standard for photographers seeking the ultimate creative tool.
