People complain about the "low" megapixel. To me 12mp is more than enough if you know how to compose your shots. Even 4K is just 8mp so you really don't need more. I currently have a 12mp GF1 for 5 years which I love, but i'll move to an A7S. The low light will undoubtedly shock me compared to my micro 4/3rd.

If the low light is as good as suggested then I think this camera is a good tool for night street shooting. You can keep your high shutter speed to freeze action and stop down your lens to have as much detail as you want. No more thin DOF that lead to miss focus.

Not sure I fully agree with the complaints of 12MPix for still.... yes nearly all of today's cameras have more... but this sensor has more Color Depth and DR ... and better high ISO performance...than the 12MPix sensors used in the much lauded Nikon D3S and D700 .... Some of the best pictures I've ever shot were with a 12MPix APS-C sized sensor in the Nikon D300 .... what we lose is the latitude to crop and reframe the shot on the PC...which is a nice thing, don't get me wrong...but maybe this will force us to frame the shot right in the first place.... after all even the D4S, X-T1 and EM1 are all 16MPix.... How much less is 12MPix really?

Excellent review. Wondering why Sony A7s only have 12Mpx? Believe the main reason is lower pixel density count on a full frame sensor give a larger pixel size, and as a result provide better low light capability and less noise on Ultra high ISO. Sony should focus on one single A7 model with great still, video and lens, instead of so many variation. Many potential buyer including me really keen to purchase this camera but the 12Mpx just spoilt the whole experience.
@undefinablereasoning10 жыл бұрын
They can't... that's just it. Higher MP count on the same sensor means smaller pixels.. means worse low light performance. There is no "one size fits all" solution, at least not in the budget/pro-sumer camera range. I will say this.. notice how on the GH4 footage the blades of grass are not discrete? On the A7s you can clearly tell each blade apart but on the GH4 they blend together :)

If you use your photos mostly on social networks and not for printing the 12MP are more than enough. However if you use an APS-C lens e-mount on a full frame Sony a7S or a7S II the resolution is reduced to 5MP which isn't something really good but it is still usable.

TheCameraStoreTV This comment relates to the last comment above recommending going with the A7R, as well. I was thinking of going with an A7 or A7R, and I'd like a quality fast constant aperture zoom lens that isn't that big. The Zeiss FE 24-70 F4 should fit the bill as good all around lens, but the max aperture of F4 seemed a bit conservative and I worry if it would hang well enough in low light situations, was kind of deterred from it, but I understand keeping it at F4 would allow it to remain compact for such a compact system.. if it were an F2.8, it would be significantly larger and if you wanted to keep things as compact as possible, that would seem like not the right route to go. With the A7S now, I was thinking maybe the extra light sensitivity of the A7S would make up for an other wise less than ideal F4 aperture working in low light conditions... enhancing the performance out of an F4 lens compared to it's larger MP A7 models. Perhaps, technically working as if you it were like a F2.8? I know, DOF is not the same and I'm not comparing that, just the ability to work with a "slower" lens in low light conditions and get cleaner shots and perhaps have better AF performances as well. But, from your experience with the A7S so far, I feel like it may perhaps not be as much of an advantage as I might have originally believed or was hoping.. the A7/A7R's are capable enough where you could probably work the RAW files enough to obtain the same results from an A7S, noise & DR wise?.. unless you work at really high ISO's, anything low to mid-high range the A7 & A7R's can do just as well as the A7S?

To clarify your GH4 video claims... Yes, it shoots 4K internally BUT only at 8-bit 4:2:0 (same as Sony and at 2x crop factor, while Sony is full frame). To get 10-bit 4:2:2 4K from the GH4, you need to record externally. In comparison, the Blackmagic 4K Production camera does 4K at 12-bit internally to SSD.
