Check this out: Camera size

Might not be enough for some to choose the Sony, but it certainly is to me.


+1.

The weight delta increases when comparing the A7r and D800, too.

With no fatigue I can carry in-hand the A7r with a FE35 or FE55 all day long by itself or mounted to a not overly light Feisol CF monopod. I did not find this to be the case with my D800, regardless of lens mounted. Bulk is just as important a factor and there - no contest.

Last year was my least productive year as a photographer ever and the heavier and much bulkier / less portable D800 + associated gear had everything to do with that. Given my needs, fortunately the balance of trade-offs and benefits tips in favour of the A7r and I\'m not missing the things the D800 does better.
