Mike Meyers
“Got a chance to test drive the new Alpha 7R VI and new 100-400mm f/4.5 G Master lens in NYC this week. This may be the best camera ever made. 67MP, 30fps burst shooting, 4k 120 video and stacked with Sony’s best autofocus and AI technology - what more could you want? I also chased around a few squirrels in Central Park with that new 100-400GM and was blown away by how sharp it was. Near prime-level sharpness (the second shot of the squirrel is just a tight crop of the first shot). Just an insane lens.”
Lizzie Peirce
“I’m currently at the @sonyalpha in Residence event getting some of the first hands-on time with the new A7R VI, and honestly, it caught me off guard. We all know the “R” series is the king of resolution for stills, but this body has officially evolved into a hybrid workhorse.”
David Zhou
"I haven’t shot on an R series camera in a while and it always stuns me with just how DETAILED the photos are. Especially now that you have 67~ megapixels worth of resolution. The two things that stood out to me most, specs aside and just real-world usage, is how good the autofocus is and how clear & bright the viewfinder is."
Alvaro Valiente
“The resolution (66.8MP!) and faster autofocus totally blew me away, and the performance in low light really stands out.”
Criz Quinn
"I took 20 shots of this model paired with the A7R VI paired with the 50-150mm f/2 GM and was blown away by the insane autofocus, AI white balance, and the fact that it shoots at 30 fps!!! This camera is truly everything I want and need for my photography. Well done, Sony Alpha!"
Sarah Teng
“I have been super impressed with this camera so far and can very much *feel* the upgrade in both software and hardware compared to the A7R V.”
Dunna Did It
"8K. Dual gain. 30fps RAW burst. All of it comes down to three things -- a new sensor, a new processor, and a battery that lets the whole system run harder than any Sony has before. Sony isn't just upgrading specs. They're laying the groundwork for what cameras can actually do next."
Reza Malayeri
"First impressions on the brand new @sonyalpha #A7RVI & FE 100-400 F4.5 GM OSS from your favorite creators and artisans!"
Justin Veenema
“This camera is freaking WILD btw. You know I’m not a camera reviewer (I’ll let my more talented friends do that), but what I will say is that I’m EXTREMELY impressed and looking at picking one up in the next few months. The autofocus just didn’t miss.”
