Sony Alpha 7S II
Sony continues to take a three-camera approach with its second-generation full-frame mirrorless system. At one end of the spectrum sits the high-resolution, 42-megapixel Alpha 7R II , and at the other is the 12-megapixel Alpha 7S II ($2999.99, body only).
Pros:
- Full-frame 4K video recording
- Incredible high ISO image quality
- 5fps burst shooting
- In-body image stabilization
- Hinged rear display
- Sharp EVF
- Dust- and moisture-resistant design
Cons:
- Expensive
- 12-megapixel resolution can be limiting
- Omits PC sync socket
- Overly sensitive eye sensor
- No built-in flash

Sony Alpha A7S II
The Sony Alpha A7S II is a full-frame camera with a difference. Where its brother the A7R II uses a 42-megapixel sensor for massive amounts of detail, this camera pares the resolution all the way down to 12 megapixels to radically improve low-light performance.
Pros:
- Great low-light performance
- Excellent for video
- Much-improved ergonomics
Cons:
- Limited detail capture among full-frame cameras
- Unimpressive burst performance

Sony Alpha A7s Mark II review
Sony's Alpha A7s Mark II is a full-frame mirrorless camera that's optimized for 4k video, particularly in very low light. Sony's essentially taken the 12 Megapixel sensor of the original A7s Mark I and slotted it into the body of the A7r Mark II.
Pros:
- Great quality 4k video
- Clean up to 6400 ISO and still good at 25600 ISO, Capable of shooting in extremely low light at up to 409600 ISO, Very good 1080p options including APSC crop and 120p slow motion, S-Log 2 and 3 for subsequent grading.
Cons:
- Contrast-based AF not great at tracking moving subjects
- No APSC / Super-35 crop option for 4k video
- Built-in IS only provided one or two stops in my tests
- Small dials and buttons.

Pretty amazing
I am a video guy, so I almost never take photos. This works great with 4k with focus assist. I wish the screen were bigger but I guess if you are doing a bigger production you would have a monitor. The negatives are that this thing eats batteries especially when recording video.

VidPro Cage isn't made for Sony A7SII
It's just fine. Everything is as good as it seems in the picture BUT de VidPro Cage doesn't fix for the A7SII. The battery gate can't fully open, so you got to uninstall the gate or just unscrew every time you have to change battery, that's sucks.

Low light supremo
I bought this camera for a specific job, which involved filming bioluminescent Dinoflagellate algae - the camera lived up to its reputation, with a maximum ISO of 409,600 it captured the brief flashes of light emitted by the algae.

Sony ILCE-7SM2 a7S II
We didn't get to review the original Sony ILCE-7S (α7S) camera, which was released in April 2014 so it's nice to receive its successor, the α7S Mark II, which was announced on 11 September 2015. The updated camera improves on its predecessor in several important ways.
