It was hard to mark the A7R II down for Features & Build. The spec list is fully-fledged and outdoes its DSLR rivals in many areas. We’d have liked to see a secondary SD card slot, but huge capacities are available, so the camera did enough to warrant five stars in this criterion...

A full-frame sensor sets high expectations for image quality, and this one’s 42-megapixel resolution and back-illuminated design bodes well for detail and noise levels respectively. A maximum ISO speed of 102,400 shows that Sony has a lot of confidence ab...
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...

Sony took the camera world by surprise in 2014 by offering not one, but three full-frame mirrorless cameras. The new A7 series certainly made a splash, but none of them really made a strong case for pros to ditch their huge DSLRs in favor of a newer, smal...
Take a bow, Sony. Simply put: The A7R II is an unbelievably good camera. Where the A7 II was little more than a minor edit of the original, the A7R II is a full-blown redraft. It carries over all the promise of the original, while improving it in almo...

I start to wonder if the Alpha 7R II has a place in my kit bag. It was never going to be a direct replacement for the EOS 5D Mark III or EOS-1D X, but it brings features to the table that these cameras do not have.I love the Alpha 7R IIs size and weight...

You can't buy a single camera that does it all, no matter how much you spend. The most expensive DSLR or mirrorless offerings will give you top-notch photos or great video — not both in a single package. But Sony's A7r Mark II is tantalisingly close to be...
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...

I'll point out that shooting with the A7R II is a little frustrating compared to pro-quality bodies like the Nikon D810 or Canon 5D mk III. Our main complaint is the shutter button. It's a squishy mess, with nearly a full millimeter of travel. That would...
