  • Absolutely superb nigh and low light shooting ability, Excellent EXMOR full-frame sensor, Robust build, 169 AF points, Massive ISO, Remarkably crisp 4K and Full HD video quality
  • Expensive, very expensive, Could use better organized touchscreen menu controls
  • Overall, despite its very high price, we love the Sony A7S II and for users who want a superb compact mirrorless camera for low light video and photo shooting, we pretty much can't recommend a better device. However, if you just want 4K video for ordinar...

  • So far, we're expecting pretty much more of the same–excellent high ISO results, great focusing, but not incredibly detailed images since this is just a 12.2MP sensor. But that's what the A7 Mk II and the A7r Mk II are for. We're going to have to save our...

  • Sony has clearly differentiated its latest α7 cameras into three categories, with the α7 II being the general-purpose model with the most affordable price tag (RRP AU$2299), the α7R II (RRP AU$4499) offering the highest resolution and the α7S II (RRP AU$4...

  • Superhigh ISO ISO 409,600 maximum, Now with internal 4K video, improved AF system
  • Only 12 million pixels, Video record button not ideally placed, Expensive and specialized
  • The A7S II is an important update to Sony's specialized, high-sensitivity A7S compact system camera. The resolution looks low, but this is a camera designed for low light and 4K video rather than day-to-day photography, and we look forward to giving it a...

  • Superb video quality, Great in low light conditions, Metal-bodied toughness
  • It's really expensive
  • The A7S II is certainly more of a specialist's camera than its sibling the A7R II. I think the latter is a better all-round performer and a superior buy for the more general shooter, but if you're looking for a compact system camera that offers class-lead...

  • Great low-light performance, Excellent for video, Much-improved ergonomics
  • Limited detail capture among full-frame cameras, Unimpressive burst performance
  • Sony Alpha A7S II – Image Quality The Sony Alpha A7S II goes against the grain. Where full-frame rivals like the A7R II, the Nikon D810 and Canon 5DS R make the most of tech improvements to allow ultra-high resolution sensors without killing higher-ISO pe...
