Sony Alpha 7 in the RAW test

The Sony Alpha 7 weighs only 475 g and costs 1,500 euros – the new mirrorless A7 sets the standard as the lightest, most compact and most favorable full-size camera with an interchangeable lens in several respects. Instead of an optical one, a good 100% electronic viewfinder with an effective 0.71x magnification along with an adjustable 3 inch monitor is used. In the solid, splash-proof housing of the Sony Alpha 7, there is no flash but an integrated WLAN module space.


Image quality


With a hybrid autofocus system, the Sony Alpha 7 will trip out in good light conditions after 0.29 s - okay. In a darkened environment (30 lux), however, it needs a long 0.73 s. Another drawback is the even smoother selection of matching E-mount full-size lenses, which is to grow to five models in the coming months. To connect A lenses, you need an adapter.


With a continuous 2000 LP / BH, the Sony Alpha 7 fully exploits the theoretical 24-megapixel maximum (JPEG: 1454 to 1917 LP / BH). Compared to JPEG, the A7 also gains in the MTF25 and MTF50 measurements, which allows positive conclusions on the general sharpness and contrasts impression.


However, due to the more moderate color contrast elevation, the DL values ​​decrease from a maximum of 1602 (JPEG) to 1401 LP / BH (RAW). In addition, more noise remains in the picture. Nevertheless, the Sony Alpha 7 in the JPEG as well as RAW comparison is currently among the best cameras on the market. Kauftipp price / performance.


Note: This is the RAW test of the Sony Alpha 7, which focuses solely on the image quality of the camera in RAW mode (more about our test procedures and the new RAW test).
