Sony's new α7R VI full-frame camera packs a 66.8-megapixel stacked sensor, 30fps continuous shooting, and refined cat-eye AF. A hands-on review at a cat shelter shows the high-resolution sensor allows aggressive cropping while retaining detail, and the fast AF tracks feline eyes accurately even in low light.
Sony's α7R VI, reviewed by ASCII.jp at a Tokyo cat shelter, is the first R-series model to use a stacked CMOS sensor. The 66.8-megapixel sensor delivers 9984×6656-pixel files while enabling 30fps burst shooting with continuous AF. The reviewer found the cat-eye AF accurate enough to track a moving kitten's pupil, and the high pixel count allowed heavy cropping from distant shots without visible quality loss. The body also features a tilt-and-vario-angle rear monitor for low-angle and overhead compositions. The camera was tested with a 24-70mm F2.8 GM lens and a 50mm F1.4 prime.
