About this deal

As we’re currently in Japan for InterBEE (tradeshow next week) the large Japanese symbols reveal how strong the aliasing in HD mode really is. The only thing really missing from the A7S II compared to Sony's professional large sensor video cameras is built-in neutral density filters. As with other video SLRs/CSCs you will need to add a neutral density filter to your lens so you can use wide apertures for shallow depth of field while keep shutter speed to 1/50sec or longer. Sebastian Wöber is a director and DP, studied at Filmacademy Vienna and is passionate about harnessing the potential of filmmaking tech to create powerful cinematic work with limited resources. He is currently teaching film at Andrews University in the US. And secondly, it ensures that techniques like pixel binning or line skipping aren't needed to produce 4K video, which helps with heat management. Unlike the new Canon EOS R5 and EOS R6, the A7S III can record 4K/60p video continuously for well over half an hour –or even up to an hour, if your card and battery can handle it.

The great thing about sensor-based IS in a camera like the a7 II is the realm of possibilities it opens up for third-party, and adapted lens users. I prefer to use manual focusing on all of my work, like I have for the last 43 years. The A7II makes MF very easy. What the review looked over entirely (or didnt stress enough) was the huge amount of compatiability this camera has with legacy lenses. Add in IBIS and suddenly all those MF lenses has OSS! When we switch the Sony a7R II to full frame mode, the image gets a little bit worse, but is still beautiful. It resolves a bit less detail and there is some more aliasing / moiré introduced than on the crop mode. Still very usable. Sony has increased the number of autofocus points available from 25 on the A7S to 169 with the new camera. It also claims a 2x faster AF response in video mode. It still relies on contrast detection autofocus, however, and unlike the A7 II there's no phase detection element.First, the grip has been changed. It’s deeper, for a better in-hand feel. The shutter button area is also different. The button itself has been shifted forward, now sitting much closer to where your finger naturally lands. It’s simply more comfortable. The camera can record 4K UHD (QFHD: 3840 x 2160) internally in full frame format. The camera allows for movie image size to be set, as well as the frame rate per second, and compression method. [6] The latest Windows 11 update won't install for some users, and tanks gaming performance even if it does We use a a DSC labs XYLA-21 transmissive chart and IMATEST evaluation software with a crisp Zeiss 50mm CP2 T/2.1 makro lens.

There’s really not a big difference between the two cameras, both on the outside as well as on the inside. The video colors are very balanced on both cameras and they produce a good internal 4K video. There’s no way you could tell the images apart without deep analysis and even in lowlight the cameras are not so far apart.

Like the NEX-7, the A7 is a camera that you needed to spend an hour or two painfully customizing buttons and settings, but once done, it becomes pretty darned good. Shame Sony or another respectable maker doesn't make such adapters. This one looks very cheaply made and I doubt many people would risk mounting their heavy premium lens.

These cameras have a one-year limited warranty. Therefore, if any manufacturer defect is found, you will get a free repair service from the company.

Sony's 12MP full-frame CSC is a great option if 4K video and low light shooting are your thing

When you insert a battery and SD card, the Sony a7r ii weighs 625 grams, and the Sony a7s ii weighs 627 grams. Here, the Sony a7r ii has 2 grams lighter than its opponent. Besides, they come with 126.9 x 95.7 x 60.3 mm dimensions. Though their size is similar, you can handle the Sony a7r ii more comfortably than the other camera. Image Sensor

Sony a7r ii weighs 625 grams, and Sony a7s ii weighs 627 grams. Therefore, the Sony a7r ii is 2grams lighter than its opponent, and you can comfortably use it. The quality of the rear screen is good too, and resolution has been improved. The Sony Alpha A7S II has a 3-inch 1.23-million dot screen over a 921k-dot one. It’s a movable screen too, tilting up and down to make shooting above and below head height easier.How is a7II with any A-Mount lens performance? Lens like 70-400 or any other telephone lens performance. i am looking for camera for family and vacation use as well as bird photography. I would be happy if i can achieve both with a mirror less since i can invest in good lens for mirrorless which will be usefull in the future. Scene Modes: Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Sports Action, Sunset, Night Portrait, Night Scene, Hand-held Twilight, Anti Motion Blur; Sweep Panorama; Movie / High Frame Rate; Picture Effect: Posterization (Color, B/W), Pop Color, Retro Photo, Partial Color (R, G, B, Y), High Contrast Monochrome, Toy Camera, Soft Highkey, Soft Focus, HDR Painting, Rich-tone Monochrome, Miniature, Watercolor, Illustration; Dynamic Range Optimizer (Auto/Level (1-5)), Auto High Dynamic Range: Auto Exposure Difference, Exposure Difference Level (1.0-6.0 EV, 1.0 EV step) If you want something better than the A6000, Sony wants you to go FF. They won't release a high-end APSC body cannibilazing their own FF camera sales. All the lens development is FF. Depends on the lens you'll be using. Either way you look at it, you can use a much slower shutter with IS than without.
