does anybody know how fast the a7 can write on SD cards? I need a new card and don't know up to which speed the camera will benefit from a faster card.

Quote from Thom Hogan review:
"Definitely invest in state-of-the-art cards. I found that write speed was definitely slower with older cards. I’d say you want 95Mbps cards or better with these cameras."

Phillip,
IMO, the best performance card for the money is the Transcend 32GB SDHC "Ultimate" 600x. It costs about $20.

Yep, that is exactly right, it may make many people happy, but there are enough potential niggles that a straight recommendation is questionable.
For people wanting fullframe in a small package, the "niggles" are negligible. I have no problems recommending the A7/A7r to people wanting portable bliss.

Question: why hasn't someone designed a simple 300gm weight that will slide onto the dove tail of a a7R L-bracket that will eliminate the shutter shock when using long lenses at lower shutter speeds? When using longer lenses most will attach to their ball head via the lens foot which leaves the L-bracket free. BTW: in vertical mode the weight would need a simple stop so it wouldn't slide all the way through and off.

A weight on the hotshoe provides the same benefit. My Yongnuo flash + 4 AA weighs exactly 1lb and eliminates the shutter blur I see with Canon IS lenses. Probably wouldn't be appropriate for portrait mode.

Interesting, sounds like that would work. Personally, I'm wanting a simple one piece accessory to slide on in the field for shooting landscapes. One that take up minimal room in the pack.

Mark Weir (Sony's Senior Technology Manager) keeps repeating that the A7 can do continuous shooting in Speed Priority mode with autofocus at 5fps....
I was under the impression it was only 2.5fps.
