I think the cheap 1m dot selfie-screen and EFCS only on the A7CR limited it a bit too much, given the higher cost over the A7CII.
If they are (I don't think they are) going up against the Leica Q3 which has a 1.8m dot tilt screen and 5.7m dot evf, they have’t quite managed it yet. Especially so since there isn’t an excellent and compact 28mm E-mount AF lens available.
That said, other than the FPL there isn't an interchangeable lens camera using that sensor offering so many features, which does make the A7CR unique in many ways.
Let’s not forget the Q3 is twice the price and you are stuck at one focal length…both huge negatives imho.
Exactly right, but you are also getting a top class Leica lens along with those EVF and screen improvements.
I just wonder how much extra the 61mp sensor costs over 33mp. And if that doesn't make up for the extra cost over the CII, then why is the A7CR so much more expensive? The better EVF and screen resolution "cannot be fitted into the A7CR" arguments would seem to be false since the Q3 is very similar in size to the CR.
If we look back at the A7RIV; it was quietly upgraded to a much higher res. screen which became the A7RIVA. Exactly the same thing happened to the A7RIII (A7RIIIA).
I am hoping that the same happens to the A7CR. Hopefully the price comes down a touch also.
Price has very little to do with cost. The A7cr is a unique camera with zero competition and is priced with that in mind.
I’ve done some reading on the Q3 and seems many complain about the AF, especially in dim light. Surely a $6000 camera should best the AF of a $3000 camera right?
Yes I agree and I said that it was a "unique camera" in my first post.
Agree also about price/ cost.
Regarding price/ cost relationship: that's a very important point since I strongly feel that there was a decent reserve in costing budget to include some nicer components (other than sensor) for the special and unique A7CR.
Well if you include everything that is in the A7r5, then you are in the $4000 range from a market segmentation view which puts it even further out of reach of many people.
Never suggested anything of the sort.
