![]() ![]() Recording & Live Performance Microphones.I had rented the original RX-1 a few years ago, and passed on buying one because the AF was so terrible. It's fantastic.Īnd the autofocus nailed almost every single frame. 6400 ISO yields totally usable results with gorgeous, film-quality grain. There is only one tripod shot in that entire set (can you find it?). If there's any doubt about Sony's low-light performance, well, take a look at the photos above. Some of the controls are a bit fiddling - the front finger dial seems to always allude me. ![]() I jumped to Sony and, so far, I have almost no complaints with the camera. I couldn't wait for Canon to move on mirrorless any longer. I was in Luxembourg last week for the first time, and spent much of the week shooting with my A7RII, 24-70 and 70-200 lenses. The dynamic range and Raw analysis section of our review is based on these uncompressed files. Hybrid with 117 phase detect and 25 contrast detect pointsĪlthough, at launch, the a7R II only offered Sony's lossy compressed Raw files, which can reduce the processing flexibility of the files, the company has promised a firmware update allowing uncompressed 14-bit Raws. Hybrid (399 phase detect and 25 contrast detect points) the effective extra reach and greater lens compatibility of Super 35 mode (though our testing shows this isn't quite the case). These two modes should let you choose between the shallow depth-of-field and low-light capability of using the full sensor, vs. In fact, the camera is over-sampling when you shoot Super 35 4K - which should help control moiré. But, unlike the a7S II, its sensor has enough resolution to shoot using a near full-frame crop or a Super 35 (~APS-C) crop. Like the recently-released, and more video-focused a7S II, the a7R II can record 4K (UHD) video internally. The camera's video capabilities, though, are well worth highlighting. ![]() The rest of the camera's core capabilities are exactly as you would expect from a high-resolution camera at this level: weather-sealed magnesium alloy body, twin control dials, extensive customization of control points and 5fps shooting. 2.36m dot OLED viewfinder with 0.7x magnification.Picture Profile system including ITU-709 and S-Log2 gamma.Internal 4K recording from full sensor width or 'Super' 35 crop.This may not sound like a big deal until you think about what Sony needs to do to make the camera a success: win-over dedicated photographers, many of whom are already committed to other systems. Secondly, and perhaps, most unexpectedly: the camera's phase-detection autofocus capabilities have been increased to the point that it not only focuses quickly and effectively with its own lenses but can also do so with lenses designed for other systems. Although Sony always stressed that the benefits of BSI designs are most valuable in small sensors, its application on larger scales should reduce the pixel-level disadvantages of moving to higher pixel counts (which means an improvement in quality when viewed at a standard output size). The first is that this is the first full frame camera to feature a sensor based on BSI CMOS technology. Although the a7R II's body is essentially the same as that of the 24MP a7 II (albeit with more substantial magnesium alloy construction), the camera includes two significant changes: The reasons for suggesting this are two-fold. However, although its name and appearance are very similar to the first round of a7s, the R II arguably represents just as significant a step forwards as those first full frame mirrorless models did. It's the fifth in the company's a7 range of full frame cameras and the second high-resolution 'R' model. The Sony a7R II is a 42MP full frame mirrorless camera with 5-axis image stabilization, featuring the world's first (and currently only) 35mm BSI CMOS sensor, and including a hybrid autofocus system and 4K video capabilities. ![]()
