A couple of months back, the company announced its latest interchangeable-lens cameras, the A7 and A7R, which are the world's first full-frame mirrorless digital cameras. Thanks to Sony's state-of-the-art sensor, also used in Nikon's D800 and D800E DSLRs, the new cameras pack an exceptional image quality comparable with the more expensive digital SLRs.
