The editors didn't like

  • For stills
  • 12 megapixels is going to turn off many shooters. The camera was clearly not designed for video
  • And some poor ergonomics and control layout decisions speak to that. Native lenses provide limited options at launch. Battery life is poor. Sony j
  • Camera Review
  • Sony a7S II
  • 4K recording requires external recorder. No PC sync socket. No built-in flash. Limited native lens selection. Overactive EVF eye sensor
  • Needs some improvements to the ergonomics
  • Weather sealing
  • I wish they went with a 16MP sensor for more details in the still images
  • Limited to contrastdetect AF
  • While a7/II siblings have onsensor phasedetect AF
  • Lower dynamic range and resolution than immediate competitors
  • Sony's Raw compression scheme can lead to posterization at high contrast edges
  • Small battery can be restrictiv
  • No way to see 4K footage well
  • Just yet
  • Menu button location
  • AF misfunctions on moving subjects
  • Drains battery very fast
  • Low resolution might not be for all
  • 4k option requires offcamera recording

  • Nice extension of the A7 series, Mind-boggling ISOs, Remarkably quiet in Silent Shooting Mode, Includes two batteries
  • Really geared for pros, Expensive, No built-in flash, Slow burst mode
  • The Sony Alpha A7S can do some remarkable things. It takes very good stills with its 12.2MP full-frame sensor. Wedding and event photographers should jump on it thanks to its quick response, along with outstanding image and movie quality. But if 4K vide...

  • If you place your main priority on AF speed or shooting rate, the A7S wont really meet your needs. Also, if youre looking for a camera that delivers huge amounts of detail thanks to a high resolution, the A7S wont really be the answer either.However, S...

  • 4K video output via HMDI, Lots of control over video, Maximum sensitivity setting of ISO 409,600
  • Low pixel count for stills, 4K recording only via an external recorder, Lens range currently limited
  • Nikon told us for years that 12 million pixels was 'enough'. But as technology developed and commercial pressures came to bear, it increased the pixel count offered by its SLRs to the point that it introduced the first 36Mp full-frame SLR, the D800, rece...

  • Shoots 4K video, Excellent in low light, Huge, bright OLED viewfinder
  • 4K recording requires external device, 12.2MP sensor seems limiting for stills, Very expensive
  • The A7s isn't for everyone. It's Sony's priciest compact system camera – and yet it feels specialised towards low-light shooting and professional video. It's very good at both of those things, but given the outlay required you'd expect it to be.With the A...
