Camera Overview — Sony NEX-7

The Sony NEX-7 is a compact mirrorless camera built around a 24.3MP APS-C sensor paired with a BIONZ image processor, delivering high-resolution stills at a maximum output of 6000x4000 pixels. The body is constructed from magnesium alloy and weighs just 291g with dimensions of 119.9 x 66.9 x 42.6mm, making it genuinely pocketable for a camera of this capability. It accepts Sony E-mount lenses and features a Sony Auto-lock Accessory Shoe for external flash or accessories using the Sony Standard flash system.

Burst shooting reaches 10fps, and the ISO range runs from 100 to 16000. For focusing, the NEX-7 uses a contrast detection autofocus system with 25 focus points, though subject tracking and eye tracking are not available. Video recording tops out at 1080p with frame rate options of 24fps, 30fps, and 60fps in 8-bit color.

The rear display is a 3.0-inch tiltable LCD at 921,600 dots, and the electronic viewfinder is a high-resolution 2,359,296-dot OLED panel refreshing at 60Hz. Connectivity includes USB, Micro HDMI output, and a 3.5mm microphone jack. Storage options cover SD, SDHC, SDXC, and Memory Stick PRO Duo.

It is worth noting that there is no in-body image stabilization, no weather sealing, no Wi-Fi, and no Bluetooth on this model.
