  • The a7R II is essentially the culmination of all the previous a7 cameras that Sony has released to date. It expands upon the resolution and dynamic range found in the a7R, improves upon the AF and in-body image stabilization found in the a7II and pulls in...

  • Abstract:  Filmmakers and/or low light photographers are going to love the in-camera 5-axis image stabilization system (requires Sony Optical SteadyShot Alpha lenses) which allows the camera to produce a 4.5 steps faster shutter speed equivalent for stills, as well...

  • Nikon's 28mm F1.4E ED appears to roundly complete the company's updated lineup of fast, professional prime lenses. We've already seen some initial images from a Nikon ambassador, but we've worked through a gallery of our own, with a lens of our own over t...

  • Brilliant photos, solid construction, fast and accurate focus, fine features
  • Fiddly drive mode dial, no touch screen focus point select
  • As always, there's a trade-off between the different virtues of one camera versus another, and while the body of the Sony Alpha 7R II camera may be compact, its lenses won't be. So consider this the camera to buy not so much if you want compact, but if yo...

  • This is a camera that is practically perfect. Image quality – jpeg, RAW and 4K video – is stellar. Sony has addressed a criticism of MkI for providing only compressed RAW images with reduced colour depth. The new camera, with a firmware upgrade, provides
  • Battery life is still a little restricted. An extra battery is a wise precaution. The EVF is not up to the standard set by Fujifilm and Olympus
