Abstract: We got some early hands-on time with the Sony A7S II last night, a full frame, mirrorless camera we have dubbed “the master of the dark arts” for its impressive low light shooting prowess. We shot several images and videos with the A7S II at a dark night...
Abstract: It was only 45 days ago when Sony held their last press event in Portland, Oregon to announce the release of the Sony a7r II and to give us the opportunity to shoot with it. We subsequently published a review of the Sony a7r II and how Sony listened to it...

Absolutely superb nigh and low light shooting ability, Excellent EXMOR full-frame sensor, Robust build, 169 AF points, Massive ISO, Remarkably crisp 4K and Full HD video quality
Expensive, very expensive, Could use better organized touchscreen menu controls
Overall, despite its very high price, we love the Sony A7S II and for users who want a superb compact mirrorless camera for low light video and photo shooting, we pretty much can't recommend a better device. However, if you just want 4K video for ordinar...
So far, we're expecting pretty much more of the same–excellent high ISO results, great focusing, but not incredibly detailed images since this is just a 12.2MP sensor. But that's what the A7 Mk II and the A7r Mk II are for. We're going to have to save our...
Comfortable and surprisingly compact camera body; Improved low light performance; Built-in image stabilization; Wide range of usable ISOs; More sophisticated autofocus performance; Excellent video capabilities,
Relatively low resolution; Mediocre continuous shooting performance; No built-in flash; No losslessly compressed RAW option,
Abstract: With the α7S II Sony provides professionals with the right tool to create top quality video and excellent still images in every shooting situation. Its 12.2-million-pixel full-frame Exmor CMOS sensor masters high sensitivity shooting, with a maximum sensi...
Superb video quality, Great in low light conditions, Metal-bodied toughness
It's really expensive
The A7S II is certainly more of a specialist's camera than its sibling the A7R II. I think the latter is a better all-round performer and a superior buy for the more general shooter, but if you're looking for a compact system camera that offers class-lead...
Great low-light performance, Excellent for video, Much-improved ergonomics
Limited detail capture among full-frame cameras, Unimpressive burst performance
Sony Alpha A7S II – Image Quality The Sony Alpha A7S II goes against the grain. Where full-frame rivals like the A7R II, the Nikon D810 and Canon 5DS R make the most of tech improvements to allow ultra-high resolution sensors without killing higher-ISO pe...
Excellent 12.2MP full-frame stills, Top-notch 4K, 120-fps Full HD videos, Whopping 409,600 ISO, 14-bit compressed/uncompressed RAW
Very noisy at high ISOs, Not ideal for action, Expensive

Although the refinements that have been made to the Alpha 7S II might not appear to be as revolutionary as those on the 7R II, it has come on a long way from the original 7S. The introduction of the 5-axis stabilisation transforms handheld shooting to the...
