## Description

Increased resolution, sensitivity and read speed Sony introduces an industry-leading 35mm full-format backlit image sensor with an astonishing 42.4 megapixel CMOS sensor. The detailed imager improves the efficiency of light collection while expanding the scale of the circuit. To help maximize data output, the fast-transmitting copper cabling layer generates information approximately 3.5 times faster4, while reducing image noise to reveal fine detail in every photograph. Faster, smarter and more real processing Having the massive amount of pixel information produced by the new 42.4 megapixel CMOS sensor, it must be combined with such a capacity processor. Enter the new BIONZ XTM image processing engine efficiently and accurately adjust the vast 42.4 megapixel data of the new image sensor, for truer, clearer, more natural, and low-noise image rendering. Advanced features further increase resolution. Excellent performance reaches its full potential accompanied by a number of innovative features. With an extraordinary 42.4 megapixel number, the new 7R II image sensor allows you to explore the world in remarkable detail and the camera does not employ any low-pass optical filters that could compromise high resolution. To reduce image blur, the camera's newly developed reduced vibration shutter minimizes and the silent shooting mode eliminates camera shake caused by shutter movement. And a growing family of FE lenses allows you to witness more of the unparalleled clarity the sensor offers from every perspective. Fast Hybrid AF improves sharpness Thanks to an advanced image sensor and AF algorithm, the 7R II's fast hybrid AF system delivers coverage

Review: Walking around with this camera is very comfortable - yet not as stealthy as my RX1R II. The body is solid though a little small and I find my pinky dangles in the air - so I use it to support the bottom of the body. Middle and ring fingers hold on to the small front grip (which is comfortable) and my index finger lives between the shutter release and shutter speed dial (explained a little more below). There is a slight bump-out on the rear where my thumb comfortably sits and provides quick access to the f-stop dial. It's a slightly different grip on the RX1R II which, though smaller, doesn't make it seem as small - maybe the lack of the bump-out grip in the front of the RX1R II. I enjoy the placement of the buttons and dials on this camera. They are solid and smooth to operate - and the ones that need to click into position do so. At this time, with the camera always in manual (M) mode I have the front dial set to adjust shutter speed, the rear to adjust f-stop and a button on the rear to adjust ISO on the fly. A single click on the button brings up the ISO menu, then the thumb wheel allows me to quickly scroll to the rating I want. The only other button programmed so far is C1 for eye detection. Obviously, only used in portraits but seems to nail it every time. I use this same setup on the RX1R II. I have been using the Exposure Comp wheel more and more to give me the exposure exactly how I want it rather than relying on post to correct that. Also been getting into relying almost solely on the histogram in the viewfinder to expose my work now. The shutter release is smooth and pleasing (and I like the sound of it) and has the option of silent shutter, though I haven't tried that to date. SONY A7R II - SENSOR The A7R II has a 42.4-megapixel back-illuminated 35mm full-frame Exmor R CMOS sensor powered by the BIONZ X image processing engine to support 14-bit uncompressed RAW images. Technically, getting an ISO range of 50-102,400 but realistically using ISO 100-25,600. Even more realistically for my style is ISO 100-6400. Unlike my RX1R II, there is no optical low-pass filter on this camera. 5-AXIS IMAGE STABILIZATION The Sony A7R II has 5-Axis Image Stabilization which has been maximized for the 42 MP sensor. This system corrects camera shake while shooting along the 5 axes of angular shake (pitch & yaw), shift shake (along the x/y axis), and rotational shake (roll). Pair this with a IS lens (like the Zeiss Batis 85 I have been using) and you can freehand some ultra-lowlight photography. BATTERY Battery is notoriously bad on these cameras, but there are a ton of tips and tricks out there to increase life. Best thing I suggest is tossing the camera into Airplane mode - this turns off all the Wi-Fi and searching for networks. With this off, I can shoot all day with 3 batteries at the ready. To be honest, I shoot so little on a typical day (200-300 max photos) that I seldom need to jump to a backup. Some other things you can try are reducing the brightness in the monitor and viewfinder, having a short power-save time, turn off the "Sunny Weather" option, turn off audio signals and turn off Pre-AF. If I am walking around between shots, I tend to switch the camera off too. Not sure how much that helps, but a habit I picked up with the RX1R II. I also suggest having a couple battery backups and a couple chargers in the house. Right now, I have 2 Sony stock batteries and 2 off-brand ones. I haven't noticed much of a difference between the two. For the house, I have a pair of chargers, as these batteries seem to take forever to get to a full charge. At least with a pair, I am able to cut the charge time in half. FINDER / SCREEN There are a couple ways to compose images with the A7R II. Either the screen on the back of the camera with LiveView or via the Electronic View Finder (EVF) that's really a godsend. The camera has the intelligence to automatically only power the view you are using. If LiveView, the EVF is powered off. If you put your eye to the EVF, it fires up in an instant and the back screen powers down. Very good for a camera that's a battery whore, as mentioned above. With either of these views, you can increase or decrease the resolution, though they both look really good at standard. Very bright and quite responsive. Nearly identical to what I said about the RX1R II and not like the LiveView of the past (where my last experience was with a laggy Sony NEX-3). I keep the rear screen fairly dim, so I like to use the finder as my review of images when needed. The eye cup for the A7R II finder is much better than the RX1R II, by the way. The former is a proper viewfinder with a rubberized eye cup (see rear image of A7R II below in the My Defaults section) while the later is a pop-up EVF and does not offer eye relief at all. Both screens offer a slew of data from shutter speed, ISO, f-stop to digital levels, histograms and so on. I won't bore you with all the goodies, but there is a plethora of stuff that can be added to or removed from either screen. The rear screen tilts up and down which is nice to hold over your head or at your feet to frame a decent shot. I don't use the screen often, but really enjoy the ability when I need it to compost a shot this way. I find this can be a stealthy way of composing a shot without those around aware of what you're doing - if stealth is your motive. AUTOFOCUS The Sony A7II offers up 25 contrast detection points and 399 phase detection points covering about half the sensor. The modes available here are Single, Continuous and Manual focus as well as AF-A and DMF modes that can be used with the native FE glass. As I don't tend to shoot moving targets, I stick to Single mode for almost all my shooting and have found it to be quite fast and really accurate. As always, you can also switch the focus areas between Wide Area, Zone Area, Center Area (my preference), Flexible Spot, Expand Flexible Spot, Lock-on AF Expand Flexible Spot, Lock-on AF, Eye AF (which I mapped to C1), and Face Detection. Like with the Sony RX1R II, the files spoil me. There is a great deal of latitude in them and so much shadow detail. The IQ is really nice to work with and I am getting the hang of how they behave with my one-click edits. Conclusions It is very early on with this camera to have any firm conclusions, but I have to tell you, I was secretly hoping to not love this one. I have my film cameras that I am more than happy with, and my Sony RX1R II that I figured was all I wanted. I wanted to shoot this, get it out of my system, then return it. Well, it's not going back. As soon as I strapped on the Zeiss Batis 85 and walked around with the Sony A7R II I was smitten. This camera is really offering everything I currently want in a digital setup. Gorgeous files with the colors I enjoy, great speed and a joy to walk around with. I read complaints about the menu system, but really, once you set it up once, you don't need to dig in there much and it truly isn't that bad. This is a fine compliment to my film work and will also be a great compliment to the Sony RX1R II - so yes, they are both staying. I plan to get a ton of use out of this throughout the year and re-touch this review with future thoughts, uses, issues or what have you.
Review: This is the best camera I've ever owned. I've gone through tons of cameras looking for professional quality videos (I rarely use my a7R for pictures) and this camera has bested them all in terms of quality and performance! With my particular situation, I record videos in low lighting.. very low lighting. I was using a Canon Rebel T5i before swapping to the Sony and while that camera can manage great video quality, it doesn't handle low-light very well. The Sony a7R not only handles my particular situation well, the way it deals with color is superb! I have a blue screen behind me that's almost pitch black, yet the picture quality is so clear that I can chroma key it out without problems. If you're buying the a7R for pictures, it's VERY easy to get a stunning photo in crystal clear quality. I should also point out I'm using the T * FE 55mm F1.8 ZA lens which has no zoom function. One issue I have is that the touch screen on the back of the camera doesn't pull out, making it difficult for me to adjust settings while having the camera on myself, but anybody buying a camera like this isn't buying it for selfies, so it's just a personal issue.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this the best lens to use with the a7R for low light situations? http://amzn.to/2lExqnH**
A: You didn't mention what sort of photography you wanted to use it for, so, in general terms a 50mm is a good starting point for general photography. IF you are planning on doing a lot of general low light shooting then save up your money and get a faster 50mm f1.4 lens which let's in approximately twice as much light. There are even faster lenses but are much more money or not as good optically. 

If you buy a 50mm lens, and want to stick with prime lenses, meaning no zoom lenses, then for future lens choices consider looking at lenses with focal length that are half or double your 50mm. In other words something like a 24mm wide angle and 100mm Telephoto lens. The 24mm would be good for taking photos of landscapes, architecture, or groups of people. The 100mm, or 105mm, would be good for portraits. 

Again, this is speaking in general terms and what was considered the rule of thumb prior to the 70's and the introduction of affordable zooms with good optics.

Nowadays zoom lenses seem to be the norm with people starting out with a camera that came with a inexpensive "kit" lens or two. Some if those can be a good deal for beginners but they sacrifice light gathering ability for versatility of zoom. Even the professional zoom lens costing a thousand dollar, often much more, are limited to a maximum aperture of f2.8, fast for a zoom, but slower than a prime, or fixed focal length lens.

Your first step should be to stop and consider exactly what you want to photograph, now and in the future, next your budget, then look at what is available. 

If you're undecided which lens to go with consider renting a lens first.  In fact if you're only going to need a particular lens once or twice, say for a vacation, then renting is an option to consider.

**Q: When will Sony offer an uncompressed RAW format, so as to adress the image quality problems resulting from its current compression algorithm?**
A: EDIT: It's just been announced Sony will be offering 14bit on new cameras and updating a7rii. Original post:I wouldn't worry about it. I've never had a problem with Sony's lossy RAW and I'm a professional photographer. If you're shooting RAW then you're most likely using Lightroom which supposedly compensates for Sony's 11+7 compression algorithm anyway.

**Q: Does it have overheating issue?**
A: The problem plagues mirrorless Sony cameras in particular. It is rare on Canon DSLR cameras but when it happens the camera turns off without any warning message. (T3i is a great model if you have a good enough lens, and is extremely fast at writing to even low-class memory cards, which is insane how the DIGIC processor seems really robust.) Overheating issues are not on Panasonic cameras such as GH4. You probably want that camera for 4K if Sony gives you this problem, and I think that if videography is more important over photography on a budget, you probably want the Sony RX10 II. It is a lot better than the RX100 IV (its JPEG images are not very good even at low ISO--the lens is smaller than the RX10 II, which does play a role on a larger sensor camera). Maybe if you do not want a small camera and better battery life on a budget with greater zoom, Panasonic FZ1000 is probably the best choice. It takes really good ISO 6400 shots and very clean 4K video (remember that it is really UHD) in good to dim lighting. I cannot seem to achieve good ISO 6400 shots on any Sony model I own and samples on professional websites. Panasonic may be cheaper and is just as good, if not better. Just do not expect weather resistant protection and headphone jack on those models. Hope this helps.

**Q: Why usb 2.0 and not usb 3.0, which is the fram rate and how long the battery with video?**
A: The reason Sony went with usb 2.0 and not 3.0 is because only with 2.0 would the camera be able to both be charged via external battery/wall charger and used to photograph at the same time. That was one of my major gripes with the A6000 as i was not able to do long time-lapse movies because of the small battery. My A7r2 solved that problem!

totally excellent very fast shipping prompt courteous service. the images from this camera are incredible. I use it for coin photography. It is way beyond any DSLR. I have ever owned this camera has taken my photography to a new level. I have been invited to do some family portraits. see how that goes thank you so much. great deal and a great camera.
