Sony Cameras and Lenses
This is SLR Lounge’s complete library of Sony camera and lens reviews, buying guides, and gear news, covering Sony’s E-mount mirrorless system across full-frame and APS-C bodies.
Our Sony coverage is written primarily by Matthew Saville, a working wedding and landscape photographer who has shot extensively with Sony’s E-mount system, and Sean Oblizalo, an elopement and adventure photographer based in Colorado who relies on Sony for demanding outdoor shooting. Between them they bring both the controlled environment of professional wedding photography and the unforgiving conditions of wilderness and adventure shoots to every Sony review.
Sony has been SLR Lounge’s most-reviewed brand in recent years, reflecting the E-mount system’s growing dominance among professional photographers. Our coverage spans the full-frame A7 and A9 series, APS-C bodies like the A6700, Sony’s expanding GM and G lens lineup, and comparisons against competing mirrorless systems.
New to Sony’s E-mount system? Our Sony A7CR Review is a strong starting point for landscape and travel photographers, or jump to the Sony A7R V Review for a look at Sony’s high-resolution flagship.
