The Sony Alpha a7 is the original full-frame mirrorless body, built around a 24MP CMOS sensor with on-sensor phase detection and in-body image stabilization. It is small and light for a full-frame camera, weather-sealed, and shoots 1080p video. It suits photographers moving up from APS-C or DSLRs who want full-frame depth of field and low-light range in a compact body. Against later a7 models and rivals like the Nikon Z5 or Canon EOS RP, its autofocus, video and buffer are dated, but the sensor and stabilization still hold up.
