- General
- Brand: Sony
- Model Number: ILCE7M2K/B
- Product Name: Alpha a7 II Full-Frame Mirrorless Video Camera with 28-70mm Lens
- Color: Black
- Product Set: w/ 28-70mm Lens
- Camera Model Family: Sony a7 II
- Digital Camera Type: Mirrorless Camera with Lens
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Sensor Size: 35mm Full Frame (36 x 24 mm)
- Total Pixels: 25 megapixels (Generally, the more pixels, the higher the image resolution and the finer the detail that can be seen.)
- Image Resolution (Display): 6000 x 4000 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
- Zoom Capability: true (This function allows for magnification of the subject.)
- Digital Zoom: 4x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- In-Camera Image Stabilization: true (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. In-camera stabilization means the image sensor itself moves to counteract detected motion.)
- Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
- Image File Format(s): JPEG, RAW (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Focus
- Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
- Eye Autofocus (Eye AF): true (Automatically seeks out and focuses on the subject's eye and holds it as the camera and subject move and as the photographer shoots at high frame rates.)
- Exposure Control
- Shutter Speeds: Still images: 1/8000 - 30 sec.; Bulb; Movies: 1/8000 - 1/4 sec. (1/3 steps) (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
- Minimum Aperture: f/36 (The smallest opening of a lens, typically expressed in f-numbers. The larger the number, the smaller the aperture and the less light that can enter the lens. A smaller aperture creates a larger depth of field, which keeps both foreground and background in focus.)
- Maximum Aperture: f/3.5 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)
- Minimum ISO: 100 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. When there is plenty of light, using the lowest ISO setting available will typically result in a higher quality image.)
- Maximum ISO: 25600 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. In low-light environments, using a higher ISO setting helps to capture a sharp, bright image.)
- Maximum Expandable ISO: 25600 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. Expandable ISO settings use software to simulate brighter images than the device's native ISO range is capable of capturing.)
- Brightness Control: true (Allows the camera to adjust the brightness of a captured image for optimal exposure.)
- Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
- Burst Rate: 5 frames per second
- Self Timer: true
- Self-Timer Delay: 10 seconds, 2 seconds
- Shooting Modes: AUTO, programmed AE, aperture priority, shutter-speed priority, manual, movie, sweep panorama and scene selection (Exposure modes employed by the photographer to control the optimal aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings for capturing specific subjects/scenes. Examples include Aperture-Priority, Macro, and Manual modes.)
- Panorama Mode: true
- Scene Modes: Portrait, Sports Action, Macro Landscape, Sunset, Night Scene, Hand-held Twilight, Night Portrait, Anti Motion Blur (Exposure modes with predetermined optimal settings for capturing specific scenes. Examples include Landcape, Portrait, and Sports modes.)
- White Balance Modes: Auto, Daylight, Shade, Cloudy, Incandescent, Fluorescent (Warm White / Cool White / Day White / Daylight), Flash, Underwater, Color Temperature (2500 to 9900K), Color Filter (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
- Effective Pixels: 24.3 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Lens
- Lens Mount Compatibility: Sony E-Mount
- Lens Type: Standard Zoom
- Minimum Focal Length: 28 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
- Maximum Focal Length: 70 millimeters (The maximum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The greater the focal length, the smaller the area of scene captured.)
- In-Lens Image Stabilization: true (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. Lens stabilization means an element within the lens moves automatically to counteract detected motion.)
- Lens Series: Sony G (The product group that the lens belongs to, based on similar shared features.)

- a7 II Mirrorless Video Camera
A: The 'S' and 'R' stand for Sensitiviy and Resolution, respectively. The a7sii has 12 uniquely large MP to capture tons of light, giving it a professional video advantage. The a7rii has 42MP (in addition to a better processor if I'm not mistaken) making it ideal for incredibly detailed shots. The a7ii has a 24MP, making it the least expensive, almost the base of the a7ii lineup. They do not all shoot 4k video, but all have full frame sensors to produce professional level photos.
A: Hello, the Sony A7 II shoots in 1080p HD video at 30fps. Main differences between the A7 II and the A6500 are going to be that the A6500 has an APS-C sensor, shoots in 4K 30p video, has a touch-screen, has the new Sony menu UI and has 425 auto-focus points.
A: Hi there, you can certainly use nikon, canon, and Sony Alpha lenses on the A7ii with use of adapters. Starting with the nikon to retain auto focus of the Nikon lense you would use the FotodioX FUSION Smart AF Adapter for Nikon F Lens to Sony E-mount. It only supports autofocus for AF-S and AF-I lenses. For Canon EF & EF-S lenses you can use the FotodioX Canon EF Lens to Sony E-Mount Camera Pro Fusion Smart AF Adapter. And lastly for Sony A mount, Sony makes 2 adapters the La-ea3 & La-ea4. They both will adapt A mount to E mount, but the big difference is the La-ea4 will allow you to retain auto focus on the older screw drive lenses.
A: Any mirrorless camera will work, however you should be more interested in the lenses, they will determine the zoom. Tamron has a 150mm to 600mm for very far distances, or you could go with the Sony FE 70-200mm f2.8 for not so extreme distances and potential low light/bad lighting. If you get an a7 model, and find a Sony Alpha lens, you will need an LA-EA3 or LA-EA4 adapter to have it work on the E-mount body of the a7 series camera bodies.
Q: Would this be a good camera for videos ?
A: This Camara takes good videos only (1080p) but it's More for still photos. If your looking for a better video choice I'd go with the Sony ZV-E10 (budget friendly) or Sony FX-30 (Higher cost) Sony 6400 is a good option aswell. Hope this helps.
A: Most camera's have a counter to how many pictures it has taken. So if even one picture had been taken you would know. Best Buy is pretty reputable and I have purchased new and used electronics and they are great about returns,
A: You can shoot and charge
Q: What is the main difference between the A7 and the A7 II
A: The A7ii has in-body image stabilization, which means that with any lens you will get much sharper, less blurry photos at slower shutter speeds. The A7ii also has faster autofocus, higher video quality, and an updated metal body.

Just buy it, don’t think!
Went from a DSLR to this mirrorless camera and it has been the absolute best decision ever! Picture are so smooth and clean and the camera is so easy to use as well. I’m not sure if I could ever go back to a dslr. This mirrorless is so lightweight and easy to carry around as well!

Great Upgrade
I migrated to mirrorless cameras with a Sony NEX 7 about three years ago because of its lighter weight. I had previously owned Canon 7D and Rebel XT bodies and an assortment of lenses. I loved the lighter weight and was very satisfied with the image quality. Along comes the a7 full frame series. I was intrigued, but it wasn't until the a7 II came along that I was ready to pull the trigger. The images from this new camera are really excellent, and I'm very satisfied with my purchase. The only negatives to this camera are a continued paucity of FE lenses and lousy battery life. Sony has announced some new lenses, but nothing has hit the market yet. I will order the FE 24-240 as soon as it appears. (Aside: I have used a Tamron E-mount 18-200 lens on the a7 II and it works fine, but obviously is not a full-frame lens.) Both of the uploaded photos were taken with the FE 28-70 kit lens.

Absolutely LOVE THIS CAMERA!
I read somewhere that it doesn’t matter what you use. As long as the camera you have encourages you to get out and photograph, it’s a good camera! THIS is that camera for me. I was a previous Canon user, but seriously... this camera is a GAMECHANGER! I still will need some time to figure out the workings because the layout is very very different, but it’s so worth it. Super solid quality through and through! The battery isn’t as good as my canon, but it is no worries. I’ll just save for the battery extension. I look forward to the many shoots to come with my new Sony :)
