Sony a7CR Sony a7CR
The Sony a7CR is a 61 MP (Still image) full frame camera for Sony E-mount lenses that weighs 430 g without battery or card, shoots up to 8 fps (Hi+ mode) and records 4K 60p video. Next to 22 other Sony E-mount full frame cameras, it suits you if you crop hard or print big, or you carry it all day or travel light. If you shoot sport, wildlife or children, each other one that does better on burst speed gives up at least one of resolution and weight.

Our pick or our take adds up the importance of each real difference, with these importances and thresholds: a gap smaller than its row's threshold is too close to call and counts as the same. They are our editorial choice, not a measurement, the same on every page, and they never read prices, sales or who sells it.
