Menu needs streamlining, Video record button awkwardly placed, Relatively limited range of lenses
While its huge pixel count makes the A7R II a serious DSLR alternative for landscape and portrait pros, the impressive AF performance and video features give it much wider appeal. However, lens options are still rather limited...

The Sony Alpha 7R II builds on its predecessor's solid foundations, adding more pixels, onboard 4K movie recording, five-axis stabilization, a more comfortable viewfinder and a hybrid shutter. The camera's general responsiveness has improved too. That sai...

Large file sizes, Low battery life (290 shots using viewfinder), Lacks touchscreen functionality
While there are some cameras that offer incremental upgrades over their predecessors, the Sony Alpha 7R II isnt one of them. The Alpha 7R II is a huge step up from the Alpha 7R and the improvements that have been made address many of the criticisms of it...

Sony A7R II – Image Quality Now for the main event: image quality. The Sony A7R II has a particularly bold sensor, pushing forwards from the standard-setting full-frame CSC design of the A7R. It's a higher-resolution sensor, at 42.4 megapixels, to the las...
Abstract: The new Sony Alpha 7R – a high-resolution challenger Sony's new Alpha 7 series flagship represents a throwing down of the gauntlet not only to other compact system cameras but also to Nikon and Canon DSLRs –including the new 50MP Canon EOS 5DS R. The Alph...
It's hard to rate the a7R II because there's not much to compare it with. It's one of only two cameras to offer 4K video from a full-frame sensor – the other one is the Canon EOS 1D C, and it costs £5,650. As such, the Sony is a superb choice for people w...

As the first model to introduce a rear-illuminated full-frame sensor — just one of a long list of upgrades that must count as one of the most impressive feature sets in recent times — it's not difficult to see why the Sony A7R II has caught the imaginatio...
42.4 million pixels, In-body image stabilization, 4K video,
Only 5fps continuous shooting, Previous generation AF, Limited battery life,
It's amazing to think that the Sony A7R II goes all the way back to 2015, and yet it still has in-body image stabilisation, 4K video and Sony's super-sharp 42.4MP full frame sensor. The Sony A7 range has moved on since then, with later models adding 10fps...

Abstract: In the most basic terms, the key difference between a DSLR and a mirrorless camera is that the DSLR comes with an internal mirror that reflects light entering through the lens through a prism and to an optical viewfinder. This mirror blocks off the sensor...
