Sony A7 or A7R pre-order list

[Dylan777]

Sony might have a plan for the future, but its not apparent. Yet another new series of lenses, and it will take years before they are all available. There seems little point in getting a small camera and huge lenses, FF lenses do not get smaller just because the body does. You'll have to buy the dead end A series lenses if you want a workable system. Those who bought into Sony's A system are not left high and dry, as Sony has apparently abandoned it. That's what they are known for, drop a product line and expect customers to run out and drop another $20K on the newest thing. The NEX system will be going soon.

That's why pro's have kept away from Sony. 2-3 month turnaround for repairs, and they drop their product lines at any time.

I can't bring myself to fall for their tricks, I've seen it happen over and over with their products for the last 50 years. They can make good products, but they can't stick with them.

Changes can be bad or good. It's a risk that most of us will have to take in our life.

But "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" is not for me.

I just saw this from Viggo.

I very interested in A7, but there is still some doubt that i cannot confirm from the google search,

1) can i know what brand of mount make it can use canon lens ?
2) If use canon lens will it fullframe compatible (no vignette) and able to autofocus ?

1. metabones converter support AF
2. it's FF compatible

The AF is not very fast. It's faster than EOS M @ old firmware version. However, it's still slow. I am not going to get a A7R for now till there is a better adapter on the market.

I'm curious, did any Canon shooter place pre-order on Sony A7/A7R? or will buy it in near future?

I am very interested in getting one of them ... but what's stopping me is:
1. vacation in Australia this December
2. Not yet convinced by the lens options ... I'd like the primes to be smaller.
3. Waiting for your feedback
So realistically, if I do get it, it'll only be in or close to March 2014.
