The Sony Alpha 7S Digital Camera features a 35mm sensor with large pixels for high-ISO & Dynamic Range. 12.2MP sensor optimized for 4k and low light video. Fast Intelligent AF in light as low as EV -4. View every scene in rich detail with the high contrast 2.4-million dot XGA OLED Tru-Finder EVF. Simple connectivity to smartphones via Wi-Fi or NFC.
Additional features: Picture Profile, S-Log2, time code, multi-terminal interface shoe, Full HD 1080p video, ISO 50-409600, plus more!
The groundbreaking Sony α7S features a 12.2 effective megapixel 35mm Exmor CMOS sensor paired with a powerful BIONZ X image processor.
The Sony Alpha 7S can shoot at a sensitivity range of ISO 100 – 409600 with low noise and unprecedented 15.3 stops of dynamic range. The extra-large pixels on the α7S collect dramatically more light than traditional cameras to produce beautifully detailed, low-noise images in even the most challenging lighting environments.
12.2MP sensor optimized for 4k and low light video
The Sony Alpha 7S is the world’s first 35mm camera to incorporate ‘direct pixel readout’ utilizing the entire width of the full-frame image sensor without line skipping or pixel binning.
Therefore in both HD and 4K video acquisition it can read and process data from every one of the sensor’s pixels. This allows video shooters to utilize all of the artistic and creative benefits provided by the unique sensor.
High ISO up to 409,600 w/ fast AF in light as low as EV -4
Equipped with the same high-precision Fast Intelligent AF system as the award-winning α7R camera, the Sony α7S drastically improves AF sensitivity in low-light that can go as low as EV -4.
New-generation RGB filter with gapless on-chip lens design
The larger than normal pixel size on the 35mm full-frame image sensor with effective 12.2MP, employs Sony’s latest image sensor technologies on the α7S.
To boost the image sensor’s light collection efficiency, a new-generation RGB color filter has been adopted, in addition to the gapless on-chip lens design, light concentration technology and photodiode expansion technology delivers unprecedented high sensitivity and low-noise levels with high dynamic range in every light condition from severe low light to bright sunlight.
By applying an AR coating on the surface of the seal glass over the image sensor, ghosting and flare have been minimized, further contributing to the α7S’s high image quality.
Uncompressed 4:2:2 Full HD and 4K QFHD output via HDMI
In video mode, the α7S can output 4K video at QFHD (3840x2160) in 4:2:2 to an optional external 3rd party 4K recorder via the HDMI1.
50Mbps XAVC S 1920x1080 at 60P, 1280x720 at 120P
For the first time ever in a Sony α camera, the α7S adopts the workflow-friendly XAVC S recording format in addition to AVCHD and MP4 codecs. XAVC S format allows for full HD recording at a data rate of 50 mbps with lower compression for improved video quality.
The α7S can record full HD (1920x1080) at frame rates of 60p, 60i, 30p and 24p directly to a compatible memory card. Video modes can be changed from full-frame to APS-C (super 35mm equivalent) if desired, and in this crop mode, the camera can support high frame rate 120fps shooting at standard HD resolution (1280 x 720p), creating a 5x slow-motion effect.
Pros
|
For video professionals and genuine film-maker enthusiasts, you should really take a serious look at the Sony A7S. Because under the hood, it is loaded with pro level video features (not to mention a full frame sensor) only found on cameras that cost 10 times as much. I'm not going to list all the video features that make this one of the very best video cameras on the planet, you need to do your own evaluation.
