Great (but not perfect) camera, I've owned it since launch a couple of years ago. It has now been replaced by the a7riii (R3) and if you shop around you may be able to get the R3 for a similar price to that shown for the R2 here today 7/12/17 ($3,748).

You can't buy a single camera that does it all, no matter how much you spend. The most expensive DSLR or mirrorless offerings will give you top-notch photos or great video-not both in a single package. But Sony's A7r Mark II is tantalizingly close to being that do-it-all camera.

: The best portrait lens you can get your hands on right now for Sony's FE mount is this one. You won't look back.

Thanks to popular request, I have added a Sony Alpha a7R II to my kit and, as time permits, intend to bring you a full review of this camera and many of the lenses made for it. This page will be continuously updated as I familiarize myself with this camera.

I have now been using this camera, along my 5Dm3 for over 3 years. There is a reason I always take my Canon on shoots. After a few embafrassing glitches.... As soon as I have to swap lenses, Respond time in fast paced work, I am happy to put this down and grab the 5Dm3.

With a full-frame sensor and 4K video, the Sony a7R II delivers in spades for both photo and video.

We know what you’re thinking: this camera costs over two and half grand, and that doesn’t even include a lens. And you’re right: the A7R II is eye-wateringly expensive – about £1,000 more than the original A7R was at launch. But it’s just so, so good. While it’s technically a “mirrorless camera” or a “compact system camera”, the drawbacks and disadvantages that those names convey don’t apply here. In the A7R II, Sony has made a no- compromise camera that combines impeccable build quality with a class-leading full-frame sensor, 5-axis image stabilisation, huge ISO range, fast autofocus, an excellent viewfinder and 4K video recording. And it’s far more compact than a DSLR. In short, it’s one of the best cameras you can buy today, and certainly the finest camera Sony has yet made.
