No, this has nothing to do with my first impressions. I don't get review models of new cameras. This is about the recent articles on the two cameras from PCMag. The professional writers get to play with all the new cool toys. I just get to read their reviews and comment.
One thing the latest article points out: the a7 and a7R technically aren't the first full-frame mirror-less digital cameras. The Leica M (Typ 240) predates the a7. It also lacks auto focus and costs almost $7,000, which is over 3 times what you will shell out for one of the Sony models.
The Leica M mount lenses can be used with the a7 or a7R by using an adapter (as well as most SLR lenses). This helps address one of the main drawbacks of switching to these cameras, there are currently few lens options specifically for these cameras.
PCMag also has a previous article comparing the two Sony options.
The cameras seem to fill slightly different rolls and certainly seem worthy of considering for purchase, especially for a photographer that already has lenses that are compatible by using an adapter.
