HDR shooters will LOVE, to do more in different Bracketing Modes... this!
Also possible to shoot bracketed exposures WITH SELF-TIMER!!!
Many photo shooter concern with both megapixels & better high ISO
performance. Now it’s over! It turns out Sony decided to split the
difference with a 42.4 megapixel sensor essentially splitting the difference
between 36 and 50.
Sony Senior GM for Digital Imaging Kimio Maki explained 42.4 mp struck
the perfect balance between resolution and sensitivity. Like the original
a7R, a7RII has no anti-aliasing filter. It can deliver the finest detail AND ISO
range expanded for better performance at high ISOs.
38. Reasons to buy
Vibration-free: Sony has doubled-down
on reducing shutter-induced vibration on
the a7R II. The new shutter mechanism
reduces vibration by 50%, and the
electronic first curtain eliminates it entirely
- and allows for silent shooting.
5-axis image stabilization: As with the a7
II, the a7R II offers sensor-shift image
stabilization that corrects for translation,
roll, yaw, and pitch movement.
4K video: The Alpha 7R II reads out its
whole sensor to capture 4K video in either
full-frame or Super 35 format with a full
suite of manual controls as well as
headphone and mic jacks. Phase-
detection makes for usable AF in video.
State-of-the-art sensor
and autofocus: While
we're yet to see for
ourselves, the a7R II's
42MP BSI-CMOS sensor
sounds promising. Perhaps
more exciting is its Hybrid
AF system which has 399
on-sensor phase detect
points that cover 45% of
the total frame. You'll be
able to take advantage
of the speed and tracking
abilities of the system on
third party lenses as well,
using the appropriate
adapters.

40. Reviews
Barney Britton Editor
On paper, the A7R II seems to
improve on its predecessor in every
way. A 5-axis stabilization system,
redesigned mirror and electronic
shutter should ensure shake-free
images whatever the cause, and
the new back-illuminated sensor is
capable of capturing 4K video. The
399-point phase-detection AF
system looks seriously impressive,
too.
Richard Butler Reviewer
The a7R II marks a huge step
forward for the a7 series, moving to
BSI CMOS technology and
increasing the pixel count to
42.4MP. The new sensor – now
image stabilized – is able to shoot
4K video, even when cropped
down to use the Super 35-sized
region. Probably the most exciting
addition is an autofocus system
that looks promising when used
with DSLR lenses (including those
not from Sony).
Rishi Sanyal Deputy/Tech
Editor
The a7R II offers the most expansive
phase-detect AF frame coverage of
any full-frame camera, while offering
image sensor-based subject tracking
to follow faces and features as
specific as eyes around the frame in
order to ensure pinpoint accuracy
where AF is critical, e.g. with fast
primes. What’s particularly disruptive is
that all these benefits carry over to 3rd
party DSLR lenses, possibly making the
a7R II the world’s first truly hybrid
camera.
41. Things to consider
Lossy Raw: The a7R II continues the trend
of not offering a lossless 14-bit Raw option
for maximal image quality, which means
you may experience artifacts at high
contrast edges, particularly when post-
processing.
Short battery life: When shooting with the
LCD you can take 340 shots per charge
before running out of juice (using the
CIPA standard), which pales in
comparison to what full-frame DSLRs can
pull off.
Only one memory card slot: Unlike the
top-end full-frame DSLRs from Canon and
Nikon, the A7R II has one memory card
slot instead of two.
On the pricey side: With
an MSRP of $3200 the
a7R II is more expensive
than the Canon EOS 5D
III and Nikon D810. Sony's
FE lenses also tend to be
on the higher end of the
price spectrum.
42. Unlike previous a7-series cameras that each have particular
strengths or features, the flagship of sony a7RII does everything
well. Unless you need to shoot in near darkness where Sony A7S
still has an edge at extreme ISOs, the a7RII would be great
choice for everything you shoot.
