Housing a 24.3-megapixel Exmor full-frame CMOS sensor, Full HD-video recording, in-body 5-axis image stabilisation, enhanced fast hybrid AF and an OLED viewfinder, the A7 II is a great all rounder. The Mark II version of the
Sony A7 sees the addition of refined controls, including a more tactile grip, a repositioned shutter release button, and improved performance over its predecessor. With its magnesium-alloy frame and weather-resistant design, this is a camera that photographers can use with confidence in a variety of environments and conditions.
Using Sony's powerful Bionz X image processing engine, with intelligent area-specific noise reduction, back-illuminated (BSI) sensor construction and native ISO sensitivity range of ISO 50-25600 (expandable to ISO 51200), the A7 II can produce clean results even in challenging lighting conditions.
The A7 II features an autofocus system with 117-point phase detection sensors and 25-contrast detection points for quick and accurate results, 30% faster than its predecessor. It can also capture full resolution stills at 5fps with accurate continuous AF tracking. The A7 II's 3-inch 1.229k-dot tilting LCD offers a crisp display for composing images. However, the A7 II also has a high-resolution 2.36-million dot XGA OLED Tru-finder, which is great for composing images in bright lighting conditions.
Suitable for photographers looking for a professional-level camera that delivers a fine balance between stills performance and decent video-recording capabilities. The A7 II offers full manual control and customisable DSLR-like controls.
