Big leap from A6000
|Posted .The camera offered the best results. I was tempted to get the A7Riii but decided to ge the A7Rii + 24-105 G + Rokinon 35 1.4.= Great reults. The 42.5MP helps a lot especially if you scaled it down to 20MP. You see a lot of details.

Worth it!
|Posted .Got this as an open box item, not in the best condition as there where some items missing and you can tell the camera had been dropped so I did get the insurance as a precaution. The quality of the camera is outstanding. I especially enjoy using the APC mode to give me that extra reach when I need it but it does drop the megapixel count to 18. Eye auto focus works great as well.

In a league of its own.
Posted .For months I compared it to canon and Nikon. Review after review on YouTube. I started w the A6000 and made the jump to my A7rii. Trust me, nothing compares to the dynamic range of this camera. There's tons of features and specs, but I'll get to the point, I'm a portrait and landscape photographer. This camera is amazing for me because it's so light and so powerful in every department. Highly recommend this. I have the Zeiss 16-35 f4. Just purchased the 85mm 1.4 g master. Waiting patiently for it to ship. Suggest pairing this w the rotolight and mono pod (for portraits). Incredible combo.

Great Camera

Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5Pros mentioned:Picture qualityCons mentioned:BatteryI’m really enjoying the migration to digital photography with my Sony. Image resolution is amazing thanks to the 42.4 mp image sensor. Focus is is fast, quiet, and accurate with several different focus modes. Due to the magnesium alloy chassis, the camera has the solid feel of a 35 mm film camera like the Olympus OM-2n that has been my workhorse camera for years. It does not feel cheap or plasticky. Body weight feels the same as my 35 mms. The biggest difference is not having to grope around the lens to adjust the aperture or miss a shot because I couldn’t focus fast enough. That being said, there are 2 issues with the camera that I need to mention. The first is the disappointing battery life. It is rated for 290 shots per charge. Keeping the included spare battery charged and ready is a must. Second, and this is purely my gripe, unlike my Nikon D5200, the rear LCD display cannot be turned completely around when not in use to protect it from damage. It is also not fully articulated, however, I don’t think that this is as much of an issue as I anticipated.

Q: QuestionWhat is the difference between a mirrorless and a mirror camera?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Compact system cameras or mirrorless camera don’t have a mirror to bounce light from the lens up into a pentaprism or pentamirror unlike DSLR. Mirrorless camera also do not require mechanical movements, an electronic shutter usually enables faster shutter speeds than a normal shutter curtain found in DSLR. Regards, Zander

Q: QuestionCan I use my different Sony APS-C lenses (E-mount) that I bought for my Nex-6 ?
Asked by lens compatibility.
- A:Answer Yes you can. You'll still get the aps-c crop picture and not a full frame shot like the camera offers though.

Q: QuestionIs this camera compatible with WI-FI? Dont see thewifi print on the camera side Also whats the difference from full framecamera and DSLR camera
Asked by Lou.
- A:Answer Yes, it has wifi. The sensor is "full frame" in the sense that it's the same size as 35mm film, and has absolutely no relationship to a dslr except that many dslrs also contain "full frame" sensors. The notable difference between this camera and a dslr is that this camera contains no mirror. The viewfinder is electronic. It is an excellent camera, but it is mirrorless, so you might want to research a bit to make sure it's right for you and your needs.

Q: QuestionIf I use the adapter with my a mount lenses, will the files still be 42 megapixels or will they be smaller?
Asked by Chelly.
- A:Answer Hi Chelly, the files will still be 42 megapixels since the adapter allows the a-mount lenses to be used on the camera body and does not affect the image megapixels captured through the camera sensor.
