Ten reasons why the Sony A7s is the best A7 body yet.. I will keep this simple and quick but many ask me “why did you choose the A7s over the A7 or A7r”? For me it was a no brainer, simple and easy after using all three extensively. 1. It has faster Auto Focus – This helps and is useful when you need it. The A7s will AF faster than the A7 or A7r. 2. It will focus in near pitch blackness, even without focus aids! – I was shooting last week in almost near darkness and the A7s with 35 2.8 was focusing fast and accurately, even when my own eyes could barely see the scene! No AF assist either. Amazing. 3. Has the best color and rendering of the three in my opinion! - Richer color and more 3D pop is what I see. A bit warmer in the AWB than the A7 and A7r. 4. I can still print gorgeous 20X30′s with the A7s – I have printed two 20X30′s so far and they are gorgeous in-depth, color and yes, even detail. All I need! 5. The files are smaller than the A7 and A7r! - No need to have a super computer to process the files! 6. High ISO capability is there when you need it! – No need to stop at 3200 or 6400. Nope, go up to 32,000 or even 80,000 in those super low light situations and get a usable image. 7. It’s the best A7 yet for Leica M glass use! - Wide angle M mount lenses do not do well on the A7r and A7s (though the WATE does) but on the A7s you get the most compatibility with wide-angle M lenses. Lenses such as the Zeiss 21 2.8 or Voigtlander 15 4.5 do much better on the A7s than the A7r and A7. 8. It has a silent mode! – If you want to be super stealth turn on silent mode and no one will ever know or believe you took a picture. 100% silence! 9. Makes for a great ANYTIME, ANYWHERE camera! – This one camera will do what you need in any light. Bright, low or none. Versatile as all get out! 10. Best video yet for an A7 body – Has the most customization of the video to date for an A7 body and can do 4K (though I will not use that feature). So there you have it. Took me about 7 minutes to come up with 10 reasons and write them down. I have used all three A7 bodies extensively and my favorites are the A7s followed by the A7 and then the A7r. The A7s does everything I need and to date, with almost daily use since launch I have never had an issue, a mis focus or a problem. It has not let me down (unless I made a mistake) and has been reliable, quick, and has provide for a couple of beautiful large prints. To those who trash it for only being 12MP, well, you are missing out. That’s about all I can say. The Sony A7s is still my pick for camera of the year 2014 SO FAR..unless something comes out and gets shipped before 2015 that knocks me off of my feet. stevehuffphoto/2014/08/30/ten-reasons-why-the-sony-a7s-is-the-best-a7-body-yet/
