The Sony Alpha 7 is a full-frame mirrorless camera using the E-mount, introduced in late 2013 as part of Sony's first generation of compact full-frame interchangeable-lens bodies. When new, it was positioned as a lower-cost alternative to full-frame DSLRs, aimed at enthusiasts who wanted a 35mm-format sensor in a smaller package.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Alpha 7 have sat between roughly £300 and £380, with the two recorded sales producing a midpoint around £340. As of today in 2026 these are wholesale saleroom results rather than retail figures, and what a clean body sells for is heavily influenced by shutter count, sensor condition and whether a lens is included.
