Sony Alpha 7 and Sony A7R world’s first full frame mirrorless camera
If you are looking a new digital camera with advanced feature set with extensive custom options and equipped with high quality electronic viewfinder, so you should consider Sony Alpha 7 and Sony Alpha 7R, world’s first full-frame mirrorless cameras that rocked the photographic world. The Sony A7 comes in two varieties, one with a 24.3-million-pixel sensor and one (the Sony A7R) with a higher resolution, 36.4-million-pixel sensor and no anti-aliasing filter. Both cameras comes with very promising new features dedication to video.
Sony Alpha 7 took everyone by surprise, offering full-frame resolution in a smaller body than its competitors. Sony A7 has the technological edge here, as it has a hybrid AF system with 117 phase-detection points and 25 contrast-detection points. Sony the A7R only has contrast-detection AF with 25 points. These cameras catapulted the mirrorless market into the forefront of technology for many MILC advocates.

The A7 features a 24 million pixel sensor, while the more expensive A7R features a whopping 36 million pixel device and has had the anti-aliasing filter removed for better detail resolution. Sony A7 has an optical anti-aliasing filter, while the A7R doesn't, which should result in greater detail in the A7R's images. While the results from the Sony A7 are in themselves extremely impressive, viewing them at 100% magnification alongside the A7R clearly reveals just how much more detail the extra megapixels.
Autofocus worked well on both cameras, although the a7's hybrid AF system was faster than the a7R. Both cameras' AF worked best in brighter light but I had some good experiences with AF when shooting in low light. Outdoors, though, the tracking AF seemed to be fairly accurate for both models.
Built-in Wi-Fi and NFC
The Sony A7 is also equipped with Wi-Fi and NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, which makes it easy to connect with compatible mobile device such as iPhone or an iPad. You can use the Smart Remote Control app, for example, to control the camera from your tablet or smartphone, or use direct Upload to send images directly to social media accounts such as Facebook, MySpace or Twitter. Sony also offers a series of apps from its Play Memories online store that can be loaded directly onto the camera.

Sony Alpha 7 offers a full range of video options from 1920 x 1080 HD at 60p/60i or 24p in AVCHD as well as space saving MPEG 4 options. The video quality is good and better than previous Sony NEX cameras. You'll need an external microphone for the best sound, of course, but the built in stereo microphones delivered better-than-expected audio.
Fully compatible w/ Sony’s E-mount new full-frame lenses – Any E Mount NEX lens will work in crop mode or full frame mode. Full frame adds a circle vignette. Sony also announced several FE lenses--e-mount lenses that cover the camera's full-frame sensor. These FE lenses include the kit 28-70mm, f/3.5-5.6, the Zeiss 55mm, f/1.8 and the Zeiss 35mm, f/2.8. Next up is a 24-70mm, f/4 lens due soon. But Sony and third-party adapters, such as Metabones, are available to attach a wide range of lenses.

Sony A7 is smaller than a Leica M, same size as an Olympus E-M1. Overall, Sony did a great job remaining consistent with previous cameras. The Sony A7 is priced at around US$1699 body only or US$1999 with the Sony FE 28-70mm f3.5-5.6 OSS kit lens. Despite being fractionally lighter, the A7R actually has more magnesium alloy in its build, making it feel slightly better built than the cheaper A7.
The Sony A7R is available now priced at around US$2299 body only. Note that the Sony A7R doesn't ship with a kit lens.
Sony A7R and Sony Alpha 7 are the world’s smallest and lightest interchangeable lens cameras to feature a full-frame sensor. Full-frame means that images are better in low light, have a wide field of view, and deliver top-notch quality. The camera is impressively small, especially when you consider this camera competes with the likes of the Nikon D600 and Canon EOS 6D, both of which are much larger.
Your only other options for compact full-frame bodies are the Leica M9, which is an unworldly US$7000 or the US$1400 Olympus OM-D E-M1 is more ergonomic. Forking over US$1700 for the Sony A7 seems like a lot, but it's around the same as the cheapest new full-frame DSLRs like the Canon EOS 6D or Nikon D600. You can compare them before you make a final decision.
Fuji X-Pro1 camera
If we are surfing the Internet to find information about digital cameras in Yahoo or Google search engine, then we will be typing Canon or Nikon, maybe Sony, but there are other cameras such as Pentax, Panasonic, Olympus, Sigma and Kodak. This time I would like to invite you to look at other alternatives, namely Fuji camera manufactured by Fuji Film. We know the Fuji as a filmmaker like Kodak, Fuji, but also a camera and lens maker expert. Fujifilm performed with retro camera, the Fuji X-Pro1.

Fuji X-Pro1 is claimed to have the sharpness and image quality is fantastic. The camera also comes with another sensor design of most cameras. DP Review gave the camera a rating of 79%. This camera has a fantastic performa’s with ISO up to ISO 6400. The main drawback of this camera is the camera's autofocus system as it is quite slow (for those who are familiar with the DSLR class), and perhaps the availability of lenses and parts. But the X-Pro1 is equipped with an optical viewfinder and exposure controls that give feel like a Leica rangefinder.
Fuji X-Pro1 has presented the main features for professional photographers, such as:
• Three lens XF: R XF 18mm F2, 35mm F1.4 R XF 60mm F2.4 R Macro
• Camera with a resolution of 16MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS sensor
• EXR Processor Pro image processor
• 3.0 inch RGBW 1.23M dot LCD
• Focal-plane shutter, speed 1/4000 sec
• 1/3 stop increments prime lenses
• Dual-magnification hybrid optical / electronic viewfinder
Fujifilm X-Pro1 hybrid viewfinder that has the ability to retro-modern design and at CES 2012 received the "CNET Best of CES 2012" in the category of camera.
According to CNet editors, Fujifilm surpass its reputation as a quality camera company with its first mirrorless models, the X-Pro1. By combining several innovations, hybrid viewfinder which is embedded in a sleek retro design.

Fujifilm X-Pro 1 claimed to be able to compete with professional full frame camera. This claim is quite reasonable because the X-Pro1 has a CMOS sensor APS-C X-Trans 16 megapixel, wherein the sensor is about the same or equivalent amount DLSR cameras, and has photographed the results and incredible sharpness. Fujifilm X-Pro A1 has 3 types of hybrid-style lenses Fujinon lens, which is where the three are not fixed zoom lens, which XF18mmF2 R (27mm equivalent f/2.0), XF35mmF1.4 R (53mm equivalent f/1.4), and XF60mmF2. 4 R Macro (90mm equivalent f/2.4).
The use of APS-C sized sensor on Fuji X-Pro1 somewhat surprising and instantly became a competitor Sony NEX and Samsung NX. On paper Fuji X-Pro1 can outperform incumbents such as Micro Four Thirds camp a smaller sensor. The second interesting factor is the design and quality of the X-Pro1 body very classic yet modern. Another interesting factor is the existence of a hybrid viewfinder that can switch from the optical viewfinder to the electronic viewfinder simply by sliding the lever on the front. Own optical viewfinder has 90% coverage, and if you want to get 100% coverage then move it to the sharp electronic viewfinder with 1.44 million dots.
The camera is shown to produce sharp images, natural, and can minimize the results of moiré effect that often happens when we are aiming pattern, and is also capable of producing quality images even in low-light room. Because in addition to the advanced camera features, this camera is also uses EXR processor as the power system performance.
