There is time-lapse recording for all A7 series camera via the Sony PlayMemory App store.
And a whole lot of other good stuff via Apps.
Wow.. I can hear the Canon 5Ds and 5Dsr sales going down the toilet already. This Sony sensor is going to blow Canon’s out of the water as usual. Unless you are only shooting in a studio with good lighting the Sony is going to be the better option for all around shooting where higher ISOs are required. Sure, Canon lens owners will have to buy some Sony/Zeiss glass but in the long run it will be worth it for features and image quality. Sorry Canon.. A day late and a dollar short as usual.
Hey Canon.. Any chance my $1,800 7D Mark II will catch up to the $500 GoPro Black with 4K.. Doubt it.. you are to busy delighting yourselves.
I have seen a quite a few mistakes in this article already. Shame.
