Sony Alpha 7R II Review

Sony doesn't pull any punches with its second-generation Alpha 7R ($1,099.00 at Amazon UK) . The 7R II ($3,199.99, body only) ups its full-frame sensor resolution to 42 megapixels, and it uses a back side-illuminated (BSI) design to keep the low-light performance of its high-res sensor strong. Add internal 4K video recording capability, in-body image stabilization, and a lens system that's getting better and better in terms of selection, and you have a very appealing camera. We're not naming it Editors' Choice—the 24-megapixel Alpha 7 II ($1,099.00 at Amazon UK) is a better option for most photographers. But if you want more resolution than the 24-megapixel Alpha 7 II offers, or if 4K recording is a priority, the Alpha 7R II is worth a look—just get ready to open your wallet. Design and FeaturesThe Alpha 7R II ($1,099.00 at Amazon UK) is physically identical to the other current models in the series, the Alpha 7 II and Alpha 7S II ($2,999.99). It's on the bulky side when compared ...

The Sony Alpha 7R II is a full-frame mirrorless camera that delivers absolutely incredible image and video quality, but it will cost you.

Excellent 42-megapixel image sensor; Superb high ISO imaging; In-body image stabilization; 5fps continuous shooting; Hybrid autofocus system; Hinged rear display; Excellent EVF; Dust- and moisture-resistant design; 4K video capture

Expensive; Omits PC sync socket; Overly sensitive eye sensor; No built-in flash
