tldr; Original high-res. 36MP, very dated. Historical interest only.

Best praise vs top criticism for Sony Alpha a7R
“VERY weird choice with the a7s. The a7r is ancient and is not a good camera. The a7riii will give you better AF, better battery life, better ergo, better controlls etc.”
“Not only they break down, but they are also cursed. Owners mysteriously die exactly one year after the camera breaks down, so stay away from them. This is my last day on earth as my a7r iv broke down exactly 364 days ago. They're already here, at my house. Let this be a warning. I regret the day I touched this damned camera.”
