Just watched your review before I bought my a7RII and it was most helpful in answering many of my questions about finding a suitable mirrorless partner for my now aging and well worn D800. I did not wish to move to a crop sensor but wanted a light, everyday travel camera - to save me carrying my D800 and lenses everywhere I go each day. While I would not dream of putting down my D800 which is my third arm and eye - the Sony fitted the bill. While my existing stock of high-quality lenses will not transfer easily (I believe the adapters do not offer full AF functionality) I have thought much about how I am to use this camera and I do not require the same lens stock - a kit and a prime will probably meet all I need. I have read the many comments on this page and question if the "one size fits all' approach appearing to be needed by some contributors is really an interest in photography - it's the person behind the equipment and what they see that is important - the camera is the tool to transform your mental image into a photo - like any job there are right and wrong tools - Gret review I will subscribe

Trying to get many opinions for a better decision: I have two Nikons in the bag, a D3s & D800 and all nikkor lenses. Just recently retired from sports so the D3s is now more or less a brick in terms of weight. I find I take out the D800 more because its far lighter and the resolution/video is far better. I know the a7II won't technically replace the D3s but in your opinion, would you see any drawbacks from dropping the D3s (keeping the 800 and all the glass) and swapping to the a7II? It sure would be nice to have that walk around feature. Great video and thanks!

Top job Toby: thanks a lot. I am considering an A7II as a dedicated macro body so this was a really beneficial review for me. I currently own an A7III but hate having to change lenses - hence the requirement for a second body. Though I have owned two camera bodies for years I thought I might get away with just one body. Well, we all make mistakes - as the Dalek said climbing off the dustbin. So, it's back to two camera bodies for me.

I don't know if this question has been asked yet or not (didn't scroll through the comments), and I'm sorry if it has, but I'd love to know what your favorite AF lenses are on this system. I know primes are extremely popular, but I think I would rather have a nice zoom lens (I use this primarily for work). For primes and zooms, what are your favs? I did buy the body with the kit lens and would love to just use it for the simple stuff, but I can't seem to get a single clean shot out of it. I have no idea why. Highly disappointed in it so far. Suggestions?

As good as the upgrade of the A7 is, I still wouldn't go for it over the A7R. However, I am a landscape photographer.

Excellent review! You really touched on all the points I was considering. I went in to the camera shop thinking I was going to buy a mirror less more like the Olympus OM-D but after explaining my needs they showed me the a7. The price point is what has me stalling from buying it. Since I thought the mirror less systems were more like $800-$1000. Moving from an out dated non-full frame Nikon and prime lenses, now I'm looking for something great to travel and pack around but still have excellent image quality and prime options. This seems like the winner but any advice on whether the a7 is a better choice over the OM-D? Do they even compare? Thank you!

PhotoRec Toby Hi Toby, thank you for great review. The only part that was left unclear for me - why is a7 much cheaper compared to 5D3? I have just checked Amazon US prices: Sony Body Sony a7ii - $1700 Lens Sony 35mm 2.8 - $790 Total $2500 Canon Body Canon 5D3 - $2500 Lens Canon 35mm f2 IS - $550 Total $3050 The difference is $550 or just 18% cheaper. 18% cheaper and you loose impressive autofocus, burst, better build and sealing and nicer menu and lens selection. What if we compare it to Canon 6D + 35mm f2 IS? Body Canon 6D - $1400, so the combination is just $1950. With both Canon options you get IS. What do you think? Is it still massive price difference?

Hi Toby, when you talk about the ISO you say it goes up to 25600 and you can also "artificially" go below 100 as well. I've always wondered why an ISO of 60 or 80 is considered less legit than 25,600 or even 400 or 800 for that matter. How is lowering it a little any different than raising it a little? If 100 is the standard and raising it introduces noise and lowers dynamic range while allowing you to shoot in lower light then what are the costs and benefits of lowering it to 80, 60, or 50? thanks, John

Depends on what are your needs for photo and video. If 4k is a must, then the obvious choice is the 6500. If AF speed is essential, the 6500 is far better as well. The FF sensor on the a7ii is pretty nice and has some features that only FF have, especially the DOF and the ability to use really wide angle lenses. I hope they launch the new a7III which might be exactly what i'm expecting or a new a7RIII so the mark II drops in price and i'll be able to afford it, since IMO is the best camera on the sony line at the moment

6500, especially when you travel a lot. The A6500 has better low light than the A7II. The only reason to pick the A7II is the shallower DoF for portraits, and that's all. Also the A6500 has a damn amazing AF system

Thanks for a nice review... I'm REALLY having a hard time deciding on which camera I should upgrade to. I currently have the Sony A58, and was actually thinking about buying the Sony A77ii... But now I really don't know...? The more I look in to the different A7 cameras, the more unsure of the A77ii I become... My budget could probably handle the A7ii I think. I've also seen a A7R that's within the budget... Besides taking a lot of personal family pictures, I sometimes do weddings (usually just a couple of times a year) and a few portraits. Other than that I just like taking pictures... One thing I would like to get out of an upgrade is better ISO performance. There is too much noice with the A58... I also have a couple of lenses that I like using, plus the Nissin Air commander with a couple of speedlights... Would I be able to use this gear as usual with the A7 series - or do I for instance suddenly need an adapter for the lenses..? So.... A77ii - A7ii - A7R.... my head is spinning...! :-) If any of you have any thoughts then please share :-)

@nagol5178
9 жыл бұрын
David Deblaere I came from a 5D mark iii and 7D to now shooting with the A7R. The Zeiss lenses they have priced generally below Canon. But we are talking about Canon L series. The glass that they have is very good. I disagree with the other person about the lenses being unimpressive. I am someone that comes from having the best Canon lenses available. The 24-70 is a bit better than you may think. However, the 55mm like you mentioned is one of the sharpest lenses I've ever used. The 16-35 Zeiss is an amazing wide angle. Even the kit 28-70 lens is a pretty good lens. I think they've done an amazing job. They have focused mostly on high end glass and have kept it cheaper than Canon's L series for the most part. They have not focused so much on lower end glass, which would compete with Canon's USM glass that is not L series. However, I suspect they will roll out that glass in the future. It's better for them to get all the high end stuff perfected first. Sony's A7 series has become a success for them, so there is no doubt they will catch up with Canon on lenses very quickly. I don't need a lot of lenses though. When I had the Canon I had a ton of lenses and I found out that I didn't really need or use most of them. Now, all I need is a good wide angle as I love landscapes, and I have one, the Zeiss 16-35, a good general lens with great bokeh, and I have one, the Zeiss 55mm. The kit lens is good enough for anything else. The only other lens I'd even consider would be a portrait lens. Although I don't take a lot of portraits, I would consider the 90mm 2.8 they are coming out with. But I think I'm happier with less lenses. Sometimes less is more and you end up learning more about what you have. I've seen photographers who do VERY impressive photography and they only own one lens. There are quite a few portrait photographers I know who only own the Canon 5D and the 100mm L series 2.8 and that's it. And they make a lot of money due to their work being so good.

Really enjoyed this video. You do a great job explaining features, benefits, and disadvantages. I realize this is now dated so I wanted to get your thoughts currently. I use a Nikon D610 and have a handful of primes and expensive telephotos. I also have manual lenses from my film days (Fujica) and assorted slow lenses from consumer Nikon days. At any rate, the wife and I are heading to Germany and Italy in a little over a month. I know it's time to upgrade my camera and I've long had my sights set on the D850, which I'll likely do. However, we'll be at Oktoberfest on its busiest day (opening ceremonies). I think I'd rather not lug around the D850 or D810 at the crowded festival, but I do want to capture the Burgenmeister tap the first keg. I certainly don't want to lug the 70-200mm 2.8 VR all day long (and not sure it's permissable anyway). I was thinking 50mm 1.4 prime but still think this may be too much to worry about with beer flowing and spilling in elbow-to-elbow crowds. All this said, not sure I'm ready to fork over for a new D850 and a good full-frame travel camera, though possibly I could be persuaded. Do you have any recommendations? Would you still consider the Sony A7 Mark II for my needs? Of course, I'd love to jump all the way up to Zeiss M and be done with it but that's totally out of the question at the moment. Thanks again for the video. Really nicely done.

Great and honest review. I own a Sony a6400 and wanted to get into full frame. I use my camera for leisure travel mainly. How's the AF? Is the AF much more slower than the a6000 or a6400?

I've seen some videos here on youtube about the 5-axis stabilizer and it doesn't seems impressive at all..the one on the Olympus is great though.

Henry Engvall Great question - These Sony full frames EVFs are quite nice- some lag but the quality and colors are good. In lower light the EVF gets a bit noisy but you can actually see better than you would through an optical viewfinder.

I agree it looks very good camera all the specs and so on but i think too expensive, at that price i am able to buy Nikon d810, or Nikon D750 and save some money to buy a very good lens like a Sigma 50mm f/1.4, plus some more equipment.

I do mostly street photography and landscape/scenery. Debating really between canon 80D, Sony a7II, and Sony A7R- any advice?
@photorectoby
7 жыл бұрын
This is tricky - the A7r for landscape is awesome BUT slow for everything else. The a7ii is a good all around camera and with a little prime lens quite good for street photography and the nice sony sensor still shines for landscape and editing. The 80D is a solid all around camera, cheap lens selection, easy to use but that sensor is not nearly as good as the Sony. helpful?

I want to shoot video but still take nice quality pictures. The A7S and R are so much more expensive though, and this seems to have the best of both worlds minus 4k. Leaning towards this, but I also fear so will release a new version immediately after I buy it.

+Robin Gobi A7II is an excellent value and leaves room in budget for a nice lens or two. A7RII if you are going to be shooting landscapes and want better AF, especially with canon lenses.

As a Realtor, I was looking for a versatile camera that will take impeccable images, both interior and exterior. With my $2,500 budget, could I have done any better? I ended up going with this camera based on what I have seen on reviews, prior to watching this review. I had trouble finding a 16mm sony lens for this camera, but I found a $400 28mm lens...will this be wide angle enough for interior shots?

i think even now its a good value even more so you can get it with the kit lens for 1,000 bucks thats a great deal even though the a7 III is out its over twice as much.

@@photorectoby yeah currently i have the canon m5 its not bad but lacks in low light in my view (not being full framed anyways) the a7 II will be my first fullfram camera but i think a good stepping stone to have that more professional level of photography options without breaking the bank in a non builky dslr format!

I just subscribed I have learned more from you then any other video. You explain everything in terms that every one can understand thank you. I do audio equipment reviews and have to take product photos I really want the Canon 70D but can't justify the price so I am leaning towards the T5i. Will this serve my purpose for still product photos?

nice video as always - thanks - I find my A7 a bit sluggish - and focus not so responsive and no IBIS - IQ about the same if not same - dilemma is lenses - yes there is quite a few lenses now available - but they are mostly Zeiss or G or GM labeled Sony lenses for a premium price - putting ownership of one with some lenses a lot higher then say M43 or Sony E APS-C mount - but then Sony does not have many E APS-C lenses - of course there are the nice affordable 35mm F1.8 with IS and the 50mm F1.8 with IS and the 18-200 for example - but not many affordable Sony branded - but some Zeiss for premium price - Yes one is attempted with the nice 24MP Sony sensor - but IBIS no match to the Olympus OMD one - but of course with the say the 55mm F1.8 - Interesting to hear that the RAW files are compressed - I wonder if that is the case with the A6300 - for me a big thing is no Touch LCD - and menu system not that friendly - I have had issues with apps - some apps do not run on the A7 - some do not run on the A6000 and some do not run on the A6300 :( I think Sony has done poorly in regards to Apps -- not that the concept is not good - but the implementation and installing - with Sony making millions of smart Phones with Touch LCD etc - can not do better on their cameras :( I totally agree on the cost of the apps - and for price should be in - camera - A big shout to Panasonic for loading their cameras with options and Touch LCD etc etc - no more NX1 :(

We all weren't worthy of the NX1 ;) Seriously though it was hampered by it's lens selection and only dumb adapters - it was an awesome camera packed full of sweet features.
