Sony has had an interesting few years. In many ways, 2018 was a defining year for the brand with its launch of the Sony A7 III, which was lauded by pro, amateur, ardent DSLR user and brand devotees alike. In 2021, this camera was still the star of the show; that is, until Sony introduced us to the A7 IV. No doubt the resolution junkies and AF addicts out there will point to the A7R IV, A9 II and Sony A1 and make a case as to why they are the best Sony cameras. And, of course, they will be right. Sony has introduced some amazing cameras with groundbreaking technology throughout its range.

In recent years we’ve been wowed by the long-awaited Sony A7S III, the entry-level A7 series camera, the Sony A7C and the popular vlogging camera, the Sony ZV-1. And in early 2021 Sony introduced one of the most exciting cameras in a long time, the Sony A1.
