WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY

SONY

One of the biggest players in the mirrorless market, Sony’s A7 range has formed the foundations of a diverse and impressive selection of cameras from the brand, from fixed point-and-shoots to ultimate fidelity, there’s something for everyone.

Solutions > Wildlife > Wildlife Photography > Sony

Sony’s first full-frame mirrorless cameras were the A7 and A7R. Released in 2013, they were a huge statement of intent from Sony, and it’s no surprise the brand has excelled and expanded ever since. At time of writing, Sony has the 2nd largest market share in the mirrorless sphere, sitting behind only Canon. These days there are a horde of different options where Sony is concerned, from fixed lens point-and-shoots to A7 models that specialise in high fidelity, fast photography, or low light performance. Below, we’ve combined some of the best kit Sony has to offer with lenses, batteries, memory cards and accessories so you have every box ticked.

Option - 1 Sony RX10 IV

The Sony RX10 is a real powerhouse, packing an incredible 25x zoom – the equivalent of 24-600mm, into a tiny body, making it perfect for capturing wildlife both near and far. The lens is fixed, meaning you don’t have to carry additional lenses around with you throughout your expedition, and the added bonus with this is the fact you won’t have to worry about dust and moisture entering the camera through the lens hole.

Option 2 - Sony a7R IV, Sony FE 70-200 F2.8 Lens, Sony FE 400mm F2.8 GM OSS Lens & Sony FE 600mm F4 GM OSS Lens
Weekend from £548 - hire now!

The Sony a7R is one of the most hotly anticipated cameras of recent years, and rightly so! It is the true professional’s choice, offering 60 megapixels, 5-axis image stabilisation and incredible low light capabilities; it’s the ultimate tool to have on your side when capturing unrepeatable events out in the wild. It doesn’t have the same ‘grab and shoot’ ease of use as some other entry-level cameras, meaning you will want to spend some time setting the camera up to ensure it’s fully personalised to suit your shooting style, but in doing this, you are rewarded with ultimate quality, usability and a truly intuitive experience. 

Sony’s G Master lenses represent the absolute pinnacle in optical quality in terms of sharpness, autofocus speed, beautiful colour reproduction and that wonderful bokeh we all love. They’re not the lightest option to carry around in the wilderness when searching for wildlife, but in return for this small drawback you get divine results. They have large apertures, giving you more freedom in low light situations and producing images with beautifully shallow depth of field. In addition to these benefits is the weather sealed construction, letting you concentrate on getting the shot without being preoccupied with light rain or drizzle.
