Over the weekend, we got our first official glimpse at what the Sony A7 full-frame E-Mount mirrorless camera looked like. But that uber-blurry image has been replaced by a few official-looking full-sized photos that truly show what we have to look forward to.

It all started out with the photo below, an extremely blurry shot of the A7 that was still a big enough deal for major outlets to pick it up. It seemed to confirm previous rumors of an E-Mount that would be built a bit like an OM-D with the built-in EVF placed in the center.

But now we have higher-res shots for you to feast your eyes on. Courtesy of Digicameinfo, we have 100% real and confirmed (according to SAR) shots of both the A7 and A7r in all of their tank-like glory.

The A7 is shown attached to the also-rumored 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens, which SAR calls “quite unexpected big (and well made),” while the more expensive and higher resolution A7r is shown attached to the 35mm f/2.8 Zeiss lens.

The cheaper A7 will cost you $1,700 for the body only and $2,000 with the aforementioned kit lens, while the A7r will run $2,200 for the body only, with no kit price leaked just yet.

P.S. Sony has officially sent out invitations to a “stunning event” on October 16th, so it seems the rumored announcement date for the two full-frame shooters was spot on.
