Camera freezes while saving a burst of photos
Sensor is sensitive to dust
Huge file size

Terrible battery life and a mushy shutter mechanism may negatively impact your shooting experience. Also
There's general highlight clipping in still photos and artifacts in some high-ISO-sensitivity shots that we hope Sony can improve via a firmware upda

Take a bow, Sony.Simply put: The A7R II is an unbelievably good camera. Where the A7 II was little more than a minor edit of the original, the A7R II is a full-blown redraft. It carries over all the promise of the original, while improving it in almost ev...
It was hard to mark the A7R II down for Features & Build. The spec list is fully-fledged and outdoes its DSLR rivals in many areas. We'd have liked to see a secondary SD card slot, but huge capacities are available, so the camera did enough to warrant fiv...
I start to wonder if the Alpha 7R II has a place in my kit bag. It was never going to be a direct replacement for the EOS 5D Mark III or EOS-1D X, but it brings features to the table that these cameras do not have.I love the Alpha 7R IIs size and weight...

Superb image quality, Excellent low light capabilities, Compact given its specs
Video record button is annoyingly placed, We can't afford one
In short, it's one of the best cameras you can buy today We know what you're thinking: this camera costs over two and half grand, and that doesn't even include a lens. And you're right: the A7R II is eye-wateringly expensive – about £1,000 more than the...
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...

This is an expensive camera. £2,600 RRP (body only) is too much. Two of the most popular pro DSLRs, the Nikon D810, and the Canon 5D Mark III, are both well under that figure. If you're a photographer who doesn't care too much about video, they'll give yo...

It needs a little more refinement, but overall the Sony A7R II is a great camera for folks who need a high-resolution full-frame model in a more compact design than a dSLR...
