  • Abstract:  This roundup is a little unusual, in that the cameras in this price bracket span both flagship and entry-level products. Specifically, several flagship APS-C and Micro Four Thirds cameras, and a handful of entry-level full-frame options. We've called out...

  • Unsure whether the Sony A7s II or A7 II or A7R II is right for you? Our in-depth comparison will help you decide…It's been seven years since the first compact system camera arrived on the market, but Sony stands alone in offering models equipped with full...

  • Excellent 42-megapixel image sensor. Superb high ISO imaging. In-body image stabilization. 5fps continuous shooting. Hybrid autofocus system. Hinged rear display. Excellent EVF. Dust- and moisture-resistant design. 4K video capture.
  • Expensive. Omits PC sync socket. Overly sensitive eye sensor. No built-in flash
  • The Sony Alpha 7R II is a full-frame mirrorless camera that delivers absolutely incredible image and video quality, but it will cost you...

  • Abstract:  42 is a good number - as well as being the answer to life, the universe and everything , it's also the number of millions of photodiodes that Sony has packed onto the sensor of its new a7R II.And it's not just any old sensor either - the a7R II features t...

  • IS is useful during still and video capture, Excellent Raw dynamic range, Metering and white balance, Excellent resolution, Large, highres viewfinder, Camera is comfortable to hold, Solid build quality, Onsensor PDAF, Plenty of Customizable buttons, Built
  • Noisy high ISO images, Raw compression issues, Heavy for a mirrorless camera, Control dials are small, and too recessed, Subject tracking in continuous AF can be unreliable, No quick way to magnify AF point to 100% to check focus in Image Review/Playback,
  • The Alpha 7 II continues to push Sony's full frame mirrorless line of cameras into ground-breaking territory. It is the only full frame mirrorless camera to offer in-body image stabilization systems and its performance is excellent. The body is comfortabl...

  • Image stabilization is a nice addition, Pretty much the same price as the original A7, Faster autofocus performance, More controls with the extra function buttons,
  • Too quick of a refresh. They should have waited another year and added even better functions to the camera
  • The Sony A7 Mk II doesn't seem to have any big differences that would make us sell our A7 yet. But there are notable improvements.Top SearchesTop SearchesMonitorsPanasonic...

  • Effective 5-axis image stabilization, Bright, clear pictures, Fast access to settings, Surprisingly small for a full-frame camera
  • Slow writing to memory card, Quirky autofocus, Motion distortion from shutter roll in action video
  • Packing 5-axis, in-body image stabilization and a full-frame sensor in a petite, sexy body, Sony's Alpha a7 II has a lot to offer. Who it's for: Pro and super-enthusiast photographers who want something easy to carry around, especially in rough...
