Best full frame mirrorless camera. I'm a photographer by trade. I shoot in studio Monday to Friday for a national e/retailer. For my work I use a combination of 35mm DSLRs and medium format cameras and the files from the Sony are absolutely incredible!

Sony's A7R II 4K mirrorless full-frame camera is a field shooters dream in terms of specs and internal hardware. If you want to take your photography technology to truly spectacular levels, you almost can't do better than the A7R II.

42.4 megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor; Backlighting on sensor for superb lowlight shooting; 4K UHD video without pixel binning; Impressive color and dynamic range; Excellent HD video recording; Compatible with A-Mount; E-Mount and Canon lenses; ISO 102,400; Excellent five-axis image stabilization

No touch screen capacity; Selecting focus points is clumsy; Very expensive; No lens included

If you've been using a digital SLR for the last couple of years, you might not have realised just how advanced new cameras have become. And Sony's a7R Mark II is just about the most advanced of them all - apart from one small but surprisingly annoying issue, it's just about the best camera you can...

On a recent flight to Europe, I bonded permanently with my Sony A7RII , the increasingly legendary new full-frame mirrorless camera. It happened over New York City, when opportunity scrolled slowly into view shortly after departing from Newark.

It was hard to mark the A7R II down for Features & Build. The spec list is fully-fledged and outdoes its DSLR rivals in many areas. We'd have liked to see a secondary SD card slot, but huge capacities are available, so the camera did enough to warrant five stars in this criterion.

Superb image quality; Excellent low light capabilities; Compact given its specs;

Video record button is annoyingly placed; We can’t afford one;

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.

Announced in June 2015, the α7R Mark II introduces the first 36 x 24 mm, back-illuminated CMOS sensor and is Sony's highest resolution E-mount camera to date. With a resolution of 42.4-megapixels, it's a step up from the 36 megapixels in the original α7R , which we reviewed in July 2014.

Last weekend I was invited by the Cambrian Photography store in Colwyn Bay to hold a 60 minute seminar about mirrorless cameras for their annual Winter Show. During my presentation I touched upon sensor specifications, emphasising that despite the difference in size and megapixel count, I've managed...

This camera is perfect for my that have a lot of Leica Lens. The Leica M with Leica lens is 10, the best in the world, but I cant use telezoom lens, so with this camera I can use my Leica lens and also sony (70-400). So I have the best of this 2 worlds.

Perfect with my leica lens
