Leica M vs Sony A7r by Stilgar
SAR reader Stilgar posted a big A7r ($2300) vs Leica M240 ($7000) comparison. As we have seen from previous tests the Leica still shows a better corner performance also because Leica provides Lens correction and the Sony doesn’t. In all other areas (High ISO, color, resolution) the A7r is definitely better. Still, I would love Sony to deliver a cameras as well built and as elegant as a Leica M :)
Here are the tests:
