Battery life is still a little restricted. An extra battery is a wise precaution. The EVF is not up to the standard set by Fujifilm and Olympus
Terrible battery life and a mushy shutter mechanism may negatively impact your shooting experience. Also
There's general highlight clipping in still photos and artifacts in some high-ISO-sensitivity shots that we hope Sony can improve via a firmware upda

Brilliant photos, solid construction, fast and accurate focus, fine features
Fiddly drive mode dial, no touch screen focus point select
As always, there's a trade-off between the different virtues of one camera versus another, and while the body of the Sony Alpha 7R II camera may be compact, its lenses won't be. So consider this the camera to buy not so much if you want compact, but if yo...
Abstract: 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 iss...
The α7R II overtakes its predecessor to provide the highest-resolution currently available in the most compact camera body. It has also introduced more professional video functions that could make it more appealing to some professional photographers and s...

It needs a little more refinement, but overall the Sony A7R II is a great camera for folks who need a high-resolution full-frame model in a more compact design than a dSLR...
Highresolution fullframe sensor, Small, weathersealed body, Highend video features including incamera 4K recording
Menu needs streamlining, Video record button awkwardly placed, Relatively limited range of lenses
While its huge pixel count makes the A7R II a serious DSLR alternative for landscape and portrait pros, the impressive AF performance and video features give it much wider appeal. However, lens options are still rather limited...

As the first model to introduce a rear-illuminated full-frame sensor — just one of a long list of upgrades that must count as one of the most impressive feature sets in recent times — it's not difficult to see why the Sony A7R II has caught the imaginatio...
42.4 million pixels, In-body image stabilization, 4K video,
Only 5fps continuous shooting, Previous generation AF, Limited battery life,
It's amazing to think that the Sony A7R II goes all the way back to 2015, and yet it still has in-body image stabilisation, 4K video and Sony's super-sharp 42.4MP full frame sensor. The Sony A7 range has moved on since then, with later models adding 10fps...

Abstract: In the most basic terms, the key difference between a DSLR and a mirrorless camera is that the DSLR comes with an internal mirror that reflects light entering through the lens through a prism and to an optical viewfinder. This mirror blocks off the sensor...
