This is a excellent camera and works very well, the focusing is much better than the Sony A7Sii, But the video capabilities are not as good, Also make sure that this model is made for the US and not the European version.

Fantastic resolution; Great higher ISO performance; Effective OIS;

No flash unit; Limited battery stamina;

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.

Looking back at the launch of the first A7-series cameras very much reminds me of the first time I picked up a Fuji X-Pro1 when it was just introduced. The cameras felt too experimental, with all kinds of bugs, quirks and annoying problems, some of which many of us considered "deal breakers".

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.

Sony has turned a lot of heads with the introduction of the Alpha 7R II. It brought so many new features that on the day of announcement, many of us in the office were already thinking 'take my money' - and that was only halfway through the feature list announcement.

Sony's resolution monster puts the rest of the mirrorless pack to shame.

Sony has had ambitious plans for the camera market ever since it bought Konica Minolta's camera business in 2006. But after some initial excitement there were only sporadic periods of activity, and the attention of many photographers and industry observers waned somewhat.

High-resolution full-frame sensor; Small; weather-sealed body; High-end video features including in-camera 4K recording

Menu needs streamlining; Video record button awkwardly placed; Relatively limited range of lenses
