We’re out in Nashville, Tennessee with Sony, field testing their new full-frame A7R, 36.3mp Interchangeable Lens Compact. First impressions are strong, but we still have the next four days to see just how decently this camera performs out and about. And of course, we will be running it through our test lab in the weeks to come. In the mean time, stay tuned as we will be updating this gallery frequently as the week progresses. So if you have any questions regarding the A7 or A7R, feel free to drop them here, and we will get back to you.

Note: All images have been shot as full-res fine jpgs and converted from Adobe RGB to sRGB using Adobe Photoshop CS5. A Sony 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens was affixed for all images. No editing has been done. For full-res previews, please click the link below each image.
