Camera Review
Sony A7R II
Max 300 shots per battery
No touchscreen or rotating screen
Not completely dust- and splashwater-tight
Ergonomically not yet ideal
Video button difficult to operate
Front wheel deeply recessed
Menu options sometimes unclear
Terrible battery life and a mushy shutter mechanism may negatively impact your shooting experience. Also
There's general highlight clipping in still photos and artifacts in some high-ISO-sensitivity shots that we hope Sony can improve via a firmware upda
Movie button is poorly located
No touch screen
Not as fast to start up or shoot photos as a similarly-priced SLR
Rather slow buffer clearing
No built-in flash
Single card slot
Not weather-sealed to the same degree as some rivals
I want much more weather sealing
Give me a quicker way to select the AF point
A tilting screen that tilts all the way down would be very nice
Only 5fps continuous shooting
Previous generation AF
Limited battery life
No direct AF point control
Lock-on AF still remains unpredictable and often unreliable
Camera focuses stopped down in AF-C
Often crippling AF at small apertures or in low light
Eye-AF and Lock-on AF not available with 3rd party lenses
Review: Comprehensive Look At Sony Alpha 7R II Sony has been one of the earliest camera manufacturers out there that moved from the traditional DSLR camera that uses mirror/prism to the now-popular mirrorless system. They started well with the Alpha SLT...
Bigger 42.4MP sensor makes for more detailed pictures, 4K recording ability brings this Alpha series flagship up to date, High ISO threshold allows for better shots in low-light environments
Recording button is still inconveniently on the camera grip
Sony's Alpha 7R II is one of the very reasons that the mirrorless compact professional camera line has pulled ahead of its competitors. Its 42.4MP full-frame mirrorless sensor is amazing, the handling brilliant, and its features are simple and easy to use...
Superb image quality, Excellent low light capabilities, Compact given its specs
Video record button is annoyingly placed, We can't afford one
We know what you're thinking: this camera costs over two and half grand, and that doesn't even include a lens. And you're right: the A7R II is eye-wateringly expensive – over RM4,000 more than the original A7R was at launch. But it's just so, so good.Whil...

Compact, robust body, Produces vibrant and detailed images, Astounding ISO sensitivity, Easy to navigate dials and instrumentations, Snaps silently, Satisfactory AF
EVF sensor is sensitive, Record button is oddlyplaced, Takes a while to pair with other devices using WiFi
The Sony a7R II undoubtedly has what it takes to be one of the best full-frame mirrorless cameras out in the market. It's a fitting example of what a camera should be with all the useful features squeezed...
Abstract: After a complete redesign, the second-generation A7R at 625g is tiny, featuring a new 42.4-megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor, which Sony touts as the most advanced and versatile image sensor it has ever made.But does this make the S$4,099 mirrorless...
Abstract: Comparing the cameras in Sony's a7 full-frame interchangeable lens mirrorless camera series can be confusing. For one thing, the models have similar names like a7 II, a7S and a7R. Each of the models also has its own strengths. The latest Sony a7R II stil...
Superb image and video quality, 4K video capture with 25p framerate, 399point AF system, Silent shooting (Electronic shutter), Very high ISO
Average battery life, 5axis don't work properly sometimes, No builtin flash
We wish we had more time with the camera and an extra pair of prime lenses to click and capture some razer-sharp images and videos. For someone like us who owns a Sony APS-C E-Mount camera, the Sony α7R II is clearly a big jump when it comes to image sens...
Estamos ante una cámara de precio elevado (3.500 euros el cuerpo) dirigida a un público muy concreto además de exigente. Estos dos aspectos no son críticos pero si es cierto que no es una cámara competitiva en el mercado ya que su público objetivo está mu...
Excelente calidad de imagen global, Efectivo sistema de estabilización, Autofocus veloz y efectivo
Autonomía de batería, La interfaz es mejorable, Elevado precio
