Sony A7R Series
Sony's high-resolution full-frame mirrorless line.
The A7R series is Sony's answer for photographers who need the highest resolution the full-frame E-mount can offer. The A7R IV pushed the bar to 61MP; the A7R V added an AI-based autofocus system and a dramatically improved EVF, making it the most capable high-resolution mirrorless available.
