Sony Alpha Alpha 1
The 50.1MP full-frame CMOS sensor captures extremely high-resolution stills, though the 2644g body omits stabilization and weather sealing. A fixed display and absent video specs limit it to deliberate, tripod-based work. This camera suits studio photographers who need 50-megapixel detail exclusively in controlled lighting.
