This is\u00a0the field I have the least experience, and not that I don’t like portrait photography, but because I find it the most difficult to get the perfect portrait. You need a great deal of experience, you do it mostly in studio<\/strong> and the natural choice in this situation is again, the Sony a7R<\/strong>, for it’s accurate image details and print offerings.<\/p>\nIf you prefer on-location<\/strong> portraits to the studio ones, then you might reconsider, because of the flash sync<\/strong> rate of the a7R (only 1\/160) compared to the ones of Sony a7<\/strong> or a7II<\/strong> (1\/250<\/strong>). It depends on your budget<\/strong> which one of those two.<\/p>\nStreet or photojournalism photographer<\/h2>\n

With its low light amazing performance, and reaching ISO values hard to imagine not long ago, the camera that bites from the dark, the Sony a7S<\/strong> is the winner in this kind of photography. Moreover, if you need to be completely quiet when shooting, using the Silent Shutter, and be quieter than Death itself, is an added value not to attract any attention to you.<\/p>\nIf you are a “hipster” and you love vintage lenses<\/strong>, putting at work all the time those rangefinder<\/strong> evergreens<\/strong>, then you might take a look at the last model of the Alpha 7<\/strong> series, the Sony a7II<\/strong> because it gives you a huge advantage: in body stabilisation<\/strong> for any lens you put on it.

You are like me (many years ago). You are a student, live in a campus, you still get some spare money from your family, but they barely cover your meals. But you love photography, you are a dreamer, you eat, drink and shit photography. You better prefer shooting one roll of film and develop it after a while, than to shoot on a compact camera, or on an entry crop dSLR.<\/p>\n
You want Full Frame, you want DOF, you want Bokeh, you want, want, want! … but from where?!<\/p>\n
Pinch and scrape, wait for Santa, learn more to get a scholarship, but don’t miss the occasion to get the best deal on a full frame camera of this time – the Sony a7<\/strong>. You can go for Body only, because you’ll find plenty of adapters for that old glass you got almost for nothing on internet \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\nThe videographer photographer<\/h2>\n

Yep, sounds funny, but I know many people fancying more and more videography. I know some who quit doing photography, in favour of producing films. Even I do fancy it, more and more. So, if you are this kind of photographer, I don’t have to tell you which is the best of the best for this scenario: Sony a7S<\/strong>. In the end, all of us will want 4K.<\/p>\nAgain, if you are just starting in this field, from zero, you better go for the a7 and with the spared money, invest in some “cine” glass \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
In\u00a0the end<\/h1>\n
It is difficult to cover all photography genres, but I’m sure you got my point:<\/p>\n
\n- Sony a7<\/strong> – budget, enthusiast, full-frame lover, best deal of the moment (quality vs price)<\/li>\n
- Sony a7R<\/strong> – super details, Hi res, studio work, product, food, magazines etc.<\/li>\n
- Sony 7S<\/strong> – dark, pitch black, 4K, silent \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n
- Sony a7II<\/strong> – versatile, good for everything, 5 axis IBIS, vintage lenses etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
