In October 2013, the first models with full-frame sensor size were released, the Sony α7 and Sony α7R . On 19 April 2017, Sony revealed their new model Model ILCE-9, the Sony α9 , characterized as a professional mirrorless camera system. In September 2017, Sony revealed its VENICE high-end digital cinema camera, which records in 6K 16-bit raw format.

EPhotozine which rated the α7 5 stars, meanwhile praised the α7 series' price point for making them "the cheapest full-frame digital cameras currently available" while being lighter and smaller than comparable cameras. It awarded
153-485: The fastest processors for this step that they can. Sony designs the circuitry of the processor in-house, and outsources the manufacturing to semiconductor foundries such as MegaChips and (mostly) GlobalFoundries, as they currently do not own any fabrication plant capable of producing a system on a chip (SoC).[1] Sony also sources DRAM chips from various manufacturers namely Samsung , SK Hynix and Micron Technology . BIONZ utilizes two chips in its design. The first chip
170-499: The fourth was announced in July 2019. BIONZ is a line of image processors used in Sony digital cameras. It is currently used in many Sony α DSLR and mirrorless cameras . Image processing in the camera converts the raw data from a CCD or CMOS image sensor into the format that is stored on the memory card . This processing is one of the bottlenecks in digital camera speed, so manufacturers put much effort into making, and marketing,
187-436: The newer and improved body design as well as the world's first five-axis sensor-shift image stabilization system for a full-frame ILC. Sony claims that this can compensate a 4.5-stop equivalent of camera shake. In-body stabilization requires no special lens features, and mirrorless system cameras can typically accommodate lenses from any SLR system.
