  • Sony's α7 cameras use FE lenses, a variation on the E mount, designed for 36 x 24mm sensors. Although you can fit regular E-mount lenses, most of these don't cover the full frame sensor, so frames are cropped and/or vignetted. This situation limits the ra...

  • Superior details thanks to full-frame sensor, Great handling, Impeccable build quality
  • Slightly expensive, Very few lenses available, Disappointing battery life
  • We loved using the Sony Alpha 7 II. We'd even go as far as to say that it is a feat of engineering that only Sony could have achieved. With detailed results and powerful tech, the Alpha 7 II is a very good alternative to DSLRs and we have already highligh...

  • Stellar imaging quality, 5-axis stabilisation massively boosts handheld performance, Top notch build quality and design
  • No 4K video option
  • The A7 II's stabilisation sets it apart from every other full-frame camera on the market. For shooting handheld video, for shooting with long lenses or for shooting longer exposures in low light conditions, it's a star.But it's outstanding in almost all o...
