    Sony A7 II

    The Sony A7 II is hot stuff since Sony introduced the Sony A7 II in December 2014. I did a brief hands-on review of the Sony A7II, covering some hands-on impressions of the Sony A7 II. If you have not heard about the Sony A7 II or want to know more about it, this is the full review.

    Introduction

    The Sony A7 II is the first full-frame interchangeable-lens camera with 5-axis in-body image stabilizer. It is the most desired feature that we have seen on the Olympus OM-D E-M5, and Sony has managed to get this technology into its camera. The main difference between the Olympus EM-D 5 and the Sony A7 II is their image sensor size. The Olympus OM-D E-M5 is a micro 4/3 camera, while the Sony A7II is a full-frame camera.

    The Sony A7 II uses a 24.3 MP full-frame “Exmor” CMOS sensor. It features the same BIONZ X™ image processing engine as the first generation A7, which delivers stunning details and low noise output. The lens mount is the same E-mount that we had seen on Sony’s mirrorless camera series, but it is more sturdy for better handling of larger/heavier lenses.

    Sony A7 II Hands-on Review

    I appreciate your patience in waiting for my Sony A7 II hands-on review. I will give a quick view and impression about the new Sony A7 II that I was trying with the Zeiss Sonnar SEL55F18Z and the SEL2870 kit lens during the 30 minutes hands-on session 😉

    We get a larger grip on the Sony A7 II than its predecessor.

    The shutter button and front dial are reallocated to the front of the grip. The new shutter button, front dial, and larger grip give a more natural and more comfortable experience overall. The Sony A7 II replaces the first-generation Sony A7original shutter location with two customizable buttons (C1 and C2).
