Yeah, it's that good
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5It may be a few-years-old body, but it's really hard to beat the results and feature set on the A7RII. This is one of the first equipment/gear buys I've made in the long time that I didn't end up with any remorse or gripes over - the worst I can report is that the smartphone/computer wireless connectivity can be a little difficult, but is MUCH better after the latest firmware and in-camera app updates. So far I've done a wide variety of shoot types, including some time-lapse and gimbal video w/ cold shoe light, and any complaints I have about the end results are due to my own skills. I've even done a few webcasts using the software without an HDMI capture card and the quality was fantastic. I think unless I suddenly have a need to get heavy into 60fps 4K video, this will be my main body for a long time. Menus are, as Sonys seem to be, a little on the less-than-ideal side but can be made sense of and learned. Not having a fully articulating touch viewscreen is an annoyance but I've only really missed that functionality when shooting gimbal video, and I think what I really want is an external viewscreen. Intense color backlighting can result in some aberration but I think that's more due to how I'm lighting and exposing, though there are plenty of real-pro reviews you can read that dive into this technical world in better detail.

Awesome sensor and image quality
|Posted .Owned for 3 months when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I am a pro photographer and have used and worked on almost every brand camera since 2006. Sony A7Rii was introduced in 2015 and was way ahead of its competitors at that time. And still in 2021 this camera doesn't let you feel like you are using some 5 years old technology. Sensor is very much superior. You get clean and crispy picture up high ISO. Sharp images with so much detail packed in 42 MP RAW file. Cropping is fun on this camera. I bought this at best buy with the best price available. Bought as a backup camera to company my sony A7iii but this one is now main camera :) love it.

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.

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: 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.
