Abstract: Check out this video from Kai at Digital Rev as he does a hands-on comparison between the 50MP Canon 5Ds R and the 42MP Sony A7R II . This review is even a little more superficial than others he has done, but you get a clear sense of his first impression...

Nice feel to the body, though I want something a bit more retro and more dials, Class leading image quality, Solid autofocus performance, Lots of RAW file versatility though I want more, Excellent high ISO performance,

Abstract: Filmmakers and/or low light photographers are going to love the in-camera 5-axis image stabilization system (requires Sony Optical SteadyShot Alpha lenses) which allows the camera to produce a 4.5 steps faster shutter speed equivalent for stills, as well...
