It's the same, except that it's more compact, the viewfinder is smaller and the resolution is lower. The rest is small details1/8000 vs 1/4000 for the CR 8 stops vs 7 stops for the CR. I had both so I was able to test them. I am also selling my Alpha 7 CR.

Have a look on YouTube, there are many comparisons.

Biggest advantages for me:
Rangefinder, weight and size,

Biggest disadvantages:
No CFExpress cards, only one card slot and EVF resolution
