Hello , is it the A7 II you were looking for? If you were expecting the A7 II to be a revolutionary update, we understand if it feels underwhelming. On the outside, not much appears to have changed. But while it doesn't distance itself from its predec...
Full-frame image quality in a compact body, Rock-steady five-axis stabilization, XAVC-S video format
Slow burst modes not ideal for action, No built-in flash
We highly recommend the Sony A7 Mark II. While you can now get a great deal on the original model and get equally pleasing photos, it is worth spending that extra $400 for better video capture and the terrific five-axis stabilization system. The newer mo...
Abstract: Sony caused a major stir in the photographic world when it introduced the 24Mp Alpha 7 and 36Mp Alpha 7R because they were the first compact system cameras to have full-frame sensors. This is something that has still yet to be done by any other manufactur...

Small size yet delivers big on full-frame image quality, Excellent electronic viewfinder quality, Tilt-angle LCD, 5-axis image stabilisation on board whatever lens you're using, Affordable entry into full-frame
Poor battery life, Limited FE E-mount lenses (and many of the zooms aren't up to much), Autofocus system not comparable to an advanced DSLR, No pinpoint AF can see precision slip, No touchscreen
Big quality from small scale: that's what the Sony A7 II represents to us. And having used the A7 II for three weeks we've snapped some ace shots from this impressive little camera.Not that we'd call it a perfect camera, though, despite its sensor-based 5...
Becomes the first full-frame CSC to feature 5-axis in-camera image stabilisation, Inherits the excellent OLED electronic viewfinder from the Alpha 7, Redesigned handgrip and control layout enhances operation and handling
Loud shutter with no dampening or silent shooting mode available, Control wheel at the rear is rather small and fiddly to use, Movie-record button could be better positioned for videographers
Potential buyers of the A7 II fall into two camps – those who may already own an A7 and those who might be tempted by investing in a smaller and lighter system. Based on the fact that users of a mint condition A7 will only get around £570 cash if they tra...
Abstract: General OutlookThe big news of 2021, that will continue into 2022, is the accelerated transition from DSLR to mirrorless. The Pentax K3 mk III is almost certainly the last enthusiast APS-C DSLR ever to be introduced. I'd give it a well over 50% chance...
Compatible with many different Sony FE lenses, Fantastic stabilization system, Solid construction
Average battery life, No built-in flash, No auto-brightness control for LCD screen
The Sony A7 II is still a great choice as a full-frame mirrorless camera. The A7 II boasts vivid pictures with astonishing quality. Unfortunately, it lacks a built-in flash and generally has low battery life. These are minor issues and shouldn’t detract f...
Full frame sensor, In-body stabilization, Value for money,
24 megapixels adequate but no more, Full HD video, no 4K, Modest 5fps continuous shooting
As well as having a high-quality feel, a durable build and generally excellent control layout out (apart from the irritating video record button), the Alpha 7 II produces superb-quality images. And while its autofocus system isn't up to the standard deman...
