Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • I use it with the a7cr just for the crop to get to 105.
  • The a7cr or a7r series could be useful though, for that huge resolution bump.
  • This is hardly an argument, the A7CR is the obvious choice
  • We've had this camera for a while now. You're looking for the A7CR.
  • Parent context: The Canon R8 and the Nikon Z5 and the Zf are small full frame cameras. The Canon RP is also small - albeit a bit dated Reply: The fact is A7CR body is smaller than Canon R8, Nikon Z5 and Zf.

Cons

  • The cut-down a7CR does share the guts but like the case with the R8 to the R6II, I don't really recommend it if you're used to the excellent handling of DSLRs.
  • The big thing that the A1 has is super good resolution but also up to 30fps (for motorsports like you said you’re considering - a7CR isn’t ideal for that at all).

Parent context: Canon doesn't have full frame with small body. Better get Sony A7CR. Reply: the canon r8 is pretty small, about the same size as the a7cr

I shoot with the Sony A7CR. I just purchased it a few months ago after using an A7R iii for several years. The reason I decided to switch was because I wanted a more compact setup for travel, but I also wanted to experiment with video.

An A7CR is really what you’re gonna want. Super similar to the RX1Riii and you get to change out your lenses. That’s what I would do for the most direct competition to the RX cam.
