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

This is an expensive camera. £2,600 RRP (body only) is too much. Two of the most popular pro DSLRs, the Nikon D810, and the Canon 5D Mark III, are both well under that figure. If you're a photographer who doesn't care too much about video, they'll give yo...

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...
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
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...
Full frame 24 x 36 mm sensor with 4.4 Megapixels, Fiveaxis stabilization, Exceptional image quality, Maximum ISO setting: 102,400 ISO, Fast autofocus, Big, comfortabletouse viewfinder, Onboard 4K movie recording, Electronic and mechanical shutter (500,000
Battery life is still too low (200 photos at best), Camera freezes while saving a burst of photos, Sensor is sensitive to dust, Huge file size, can be hard work for computers, No touchscreen, No builtin flash, No focal length data for manual lenses
The Sony Alpha 7R II builds on its predecessor's solid foundations, adding more pixels, onboard 4K movie recording, five-axis stabilization, a more comfortable viewfinder and a hybrid shutter. The camera's general responsiveness has improved too. That sai...
Stunning image quality with high levels of detail, Refined body design with improved handling characteristics, Wide autofocus coverage across the frame, Superb 5-axis image stabilisation to correct for camera shake
Large file sizes, Low battery life (290 shots using viewfinder), Lacks touchscreen functionality
While there are some cameras that offer incremental upgrades over their predecessors, the Sony Alpha 7R II isnt one of them. The Alpha 7R II is a huge step up from the Alpha 7R and the improvements that have been made address many of the criticisms of it...
Fantastic resolution, Great higher ISO performance, Effective OIS
No flash unit, Limited battery stamina
Sony A7R II – Image Quality Now for the main event: image quality. The Sony A7R II has a particularly bold sensor, pushing forwards from the standard-setting full-frame CSC design of the A7R. It's a higher-resolution sensor, at 42.4 megapixels, to the las...
Abstract: The new Sony Alpha 7R – a high-resolution challenger Sony's new Alpha 7 series flagship represents a throwing down of the gauntlet not only to other compact system cameras but also to Nikon and Canon DSLRs –including the new 50MP Canon EOS 5DS R. The Alph...
It's hard to rate the a7R II because there's not much to compare it with. It's one of only two cameras to offer 4K video from a full-frame sensor – the other one is the Canon EOS 1D C, and it costs £5,650. As such, the Sony is a superb choice for people w...
Overall an amazing camera that you can attach almost all 35mm lenses onto with the right mounts, but comes at a price.(previously published in issue June 2017)...

Abstract: Sony has been one of the leaders in the imaging industry for years now. Their previous Alpha collection of cameras have proven again and again that they know what they are doing when it comes to photography; amateur and professional alike. Their top of th...
