(This review is for the Sony A7R ll, just realized this camera is not on here yet )I bought this camera after suffering a rotator cuff tear and have impending surgery (This is my 2nd time ) so I decided to switch to much lighter gear and can even shoot this camera with one hand if needed.
Pros:
- Light weight
- Vintage look
- easy to learn
- uses adapter
- quick focus with native lens
- so easy to carry around all day
- very sharp pictures with the sony 55 f/1.8 (Only lens I have bought so far ) Images are just as good as any DSLR I have used Includes 2 batteries Great looking camera
- well built
Cons:
- Not many wide aperture lens choices
- hunts with adapter
- viewfinder shows pic right after taking and can be a little confusing coming from a DSLR
- pricey
- batteries not the best

Bought my A77II with the VG for $900, could not resist! Free shipping and no sales tax sealed the deal. Did not want to upgrade from my original A77 but now I am glad I did!! The increased focusing speed and being able to customize most of the buttons, more then make up for the loss of GPS and the...

Close to Perfection
Let me start by saying that I do mostly wildlife and nature photography as a hobby. I started digital photography many years ago with the sony a300 and a200. Crutchfield service and shipping is also 1st class. Since then I have upgraded to the sony a57, (2) a77's and now the Sony a77Mk2.
Pros:
- Great image quality
- more AF points (79) which beats most of it's competitors
- Better,faster and more accurate AF
- Face detection with eye focus
- better ISO performance which finally comes closer to competition
- lots of programmable options for the rear panel buttons
- Focus peaking
- AF range...
Cons:
- Not too many but I will nit pick: GPS was removed (available on a77) battery life is much less than competition and worse than a77 (abt 400-450 shots if careful and use max power save)
- does not have intervolometer for time lapse
- wi-fi app for cell phone is lacking in features
- clunky and somewhat...

The Best SLT/SLR Camera I Have Ever Owned!
Everything about this camera is amazing! Images come out brilliant and very sharp. Video is great at 1080p and tracks very well. The most astonishing feature I like about this camera, is a feature called, Focus Peaking This enables the user to perfectly focus the subject into view using the entire...

Best camera I've ever owned.
A great piece of kit. I have had the A77ii for a while now, and it's the best camera I've ever owned. I don't want to go into technical specifications too much here, there are plenty of good comparison sites out there with far better capabilities for doing that.

Very good deal!
I already had an a77ii camera and bought this to replace the first one. What I received in this bundle surpassed my expectations. Both lenses are of very good quality and would have cost me some dollars more if purchased along with the camera.

I LOVE the a77II - It was well worth the upgrade from a580, which was a great camera - but this is fantastic! I am enjoying all the great features, and still lots more to learn. It's quiet, smooth and great auto-focus, and great also in low light. You will not be disappointed.

Everything I wanted, and more.
I got this to replace a Minolta film camera because of all of the A-Mount lenses that I owned. This was the first digital camera to come out with all of the feature that I was looking for. In many ways I am still learning how to use it, but it has not let me down in any way.

GREAT ALL ROUNDER
I bought this A77 Mark 2 as a direct replacement for my life expired A57 which had been a totally reliable unit. The A77 has proven to be the same having now used it for the past three years at a large number of events,its ease of use has continued in the family of Alpha cameras.
