Sony A7
$1,700 full-frame mirrorless that made DSLRs obsolete by 2025.
The Sony A7 proved that full-frame sensors could thrive without mirror boxes or pentaprisms, revolutionizing the market. Released in 2013 at $1,700, it was the cheapest full-frame interchangeable-lens camera ever made and smaller than most APS-C DSLRs. Canon and Nikon initially dismissed mirrorless as a gimmick, but by 2018, both had rushed to release their own systems, and by 2025, DSLR production had effectively ceased. The A7 killed the mirror, reshaping the industry's trajectory.
