Sony A7R // Worth it in 2022?

This. beast of a camera came out in 2013! With 36 megapixels, you can take some clean photos, but do the pros outweigh the cons? #sony #sonya7r

I think it really depends what you use your camera for.

I don't shoot video, I don't shoot a lot of portraits or wildlife and I don't shoot sports.

The advantages of upgrading the body v.s. getting new lenses just isn't worth it for me.

Instead of upgrading to the A7R iii or iv, I spent the difference on a the 50mm GM 1.2 - which IMHO is a much more impactful upgrade than just the body (at least for my use cases).

I’m a real estate photographer, one of my clients just sent me a whole list of camera equipment they came into with an estate sale, guess who is picking up an A7r for $275, ya baby. My normal camera is a7riii but this will be awesome for my personal shoots or backup cam. Great vid by the way!

It’s the most megapixel Sony camera that can be converted for Astro and IR photography. If your doing tripod work over 1 second you should be fine with shutter shock. As for as batteries get a bunch, they are small and cheap. Forget video and sports that’s for new cameras.

My A7Rii is 42 MP and it has silent shutter, just choose electronic shutter. It also shoot video 4k30. I think that is one of the major cons of Sony cameras in general, is the menu system. It can be hard to find what you want and discover what you need. I bought this camera about a year and a half ago and hated it for my main carry. But loved it for Product Photography. I just recently picked it up and spent some quality time with it to learn the menu system to use it for landscape photography. The results were awesome. Spend some quality time with your camera. You may not need the latest upgrade. Use that extra money for quality lenses.

Maybe people don't say this, but this camera is fun, modern a7 are so great with af and auto exposure they feel almost automatic, while this old a7r feels more like a DSLR having you to actually know what you are doing to get a great picture, I love it for it, of course not for paid work

Whats the screen like on the original R? Is it an articulating one or flip out? Trying to find a camera I can do selfies with occasionally with the fiance but otherwise a full frame ilce.

[AdrianayJake]

what camera did you shoot this video on? The colors are amazing.

Looking to pick this body up. I already have an a7c but I wanted another body and this has higher megapixels. Def a buy for me for the price.

Gonna sub cz you're a good editor and you're still small enough to appreciate individual subs

Thx for video. I just try to find camera with 36 mp for studio. Battery life or sound of shutter don't worry me. Also I dont need fast af but i can't find video about speed work af of sony a7r.
Is it realy slow or its ok for leisurely shooting?
