Sony a7 II User Reviews

I've been using a Sony A7II for a little over 5 years. After shooting in almost every subject, it still exhibits an acceptable performance with many current body. He takes beautiful shots on subjects such as street shots, long exposure, landscapes, nature and portraits. Perhaps the only downside of the A7II is battery performance. Sony could have designed a new battery for the first and second generation A7 series, but they didn't. I can take out a day with an average of 2 batteries. Sony A7II ...

My Sony a7 II was purchased as a platform to let my old Minolta Rokkor lenses lead  double lives, both film and digital. Unfortunately, my first adapter, the K&F Concept MD-NEX,  was a bust as both connecting mounts failed within a week. GRRRI went with a Fotodiox lens adapter this time and hope it gives me a little longer service. It'd be nice to have a reversible rear display, and the oversized exposure compensation dial just gets in the way, but other than that it's a good camera. I don't ...

I once thought full frame was overkill. After trying a number of apsc sensor cameras, I found them with some deficiencies (noise, no IOS), or overpriced. I finally sprang for A7 ii after seeing it discounted. After some use, I am dazzled by video quality and photo quality. The body is solid, and reassuringly well built, but not too large. So far, no complaints at all. Now I'm fairly spoiled on full frame, I don't want to ever go back to a smaller sensor, unless it's my phone. The A7 ii is a ...

Dear Sony, You have put all the hard word to come up with a pretty decent camera, in terms of capabilities, however, when it comes to your software (the easiest part to perfect) you simply dropped the ball. Not only that, you just continue to "keep the ball on the ground" by not pushing out any firmware updates that can take care of these issues, some of them, in my opinion, are flat out flaws. Here's a few things I have encountered after using the camera for 3 days only. Hopefully I won't ...

Sony gave me sweep panorama mode with this camera.  a feature I promised myself at one stage, but forgot when looking for a FF camera. - so delighted when I found this on it. most importantly, it really works well. no tripod needed or huge expensive ultra-wideangle lens WITHAPS-C crop mode and excellent CIZ digital zoom, I can frame telephoto shots and check them onsite. no big, heavy telephoto lens needed. I use with a Finger adapter with 2 Contax N AF lenses. work well in terms of AF speed, ...

I feels love into sony mirrorless because it can shoot faster in live view mode. previously I am using D800E live view when I am shooting because I need the sharpness of still photo, landscape and posed couple. Also I am into video as a7ii can set to 1080p 50mbps (higher bitrate for better quality). The s-log, cine1 and cine2 totally awesome for video mode. The peeking focus and zooming makes the photo/footage much more accurate.

First of all, I have been shooting with the Sony Nex 5n since 2011 and still have this little beauty. I adore tiny cameras and could not imagine using a huge DSLR-brick. A camera needs to be unobtrusive and allow for going "under the radar" when shooting candid shots, at parties, concerts, meetings etc. However, the venerable Nex5n somehow didn't really manage to deliver good shots results at ISOs at ISO 1600 or greater.  For my type of photography that was a serious limitation, because I ...

Small and compact FF (full-frame), highly customizable and packed with features, especially worth in-body image stabilization. L-bracket should be added for convenient hand-held (place for pinky finger) and quick tripod mounting. Short battery life, batteries are expensive. No touch-screen. Screen not completely articulated. That are the reasons for minus half star.

I've had my A7II for about 6 months now and have taken it on a few trips, so I think I can offer some opinions on it. Just going to keep it brief. For context, I use this lens exclusively with adapted glass, so all my ratings are in that context. Pros: (1) Good ergonomics (aside from 1 issue I'll list in the cons) (2) Good image quality (3) Near (what I imagine to be) native autofocus speed and accuracy with adapted ...
