A7r mk2
- Thread starter BBTM
- Start date
Yeah I know how ibis works, I got the a7II since day 1 and then sold it 2 weeks ago to get the r2.. So change the display thingy doesn't help, the evf when it's zoomed to 5x it's quite bad, it gets getter when is 12x... The rest of the camera is friggin awesome, I tried my CV 21 f4 and all the color cast is gone!! They also (finally) introduce the new option to decide if you want to take a shot even if the focus is not locked... Stupid Sony before the camera can took a shot even if you put your hands in front of the lens (so no focus lock) finally they have that now
and that along the min ISO speed should introduce to all the other a7 cams..No other complaint for now, I read that silent shooting and other modes like bracketing reduces the bit depth so guys be aware of that 12bit only.. I'll test that too cause I would like to use the silent shooting

Those who have gotten your new toy, congrats!!!
Can i check with you if it's worth the value to upgrade from A7 judging from the cost of upgrade.
After a while of contemplating whether to bite the bullet or not.. i am not quite convinced esp thinking about $4k+ for a body only. it is pretty sum of money and am not sure if the new features are worthy of upgrade looking at the end result of the photo in particular for day to day use.
moreover i feel sony camera life cycle quite short as in within 1-2 years always come out new camera body and the price of the previous version drop quite drastically so not really worth of investment. *sorry, i am not complaining about this.. this just 1 of the reason if i should not rush into GAS (gear acquisition syndrome) for new product launch of sony*
Things that make me not sure are:
1. file size and processing/loading time if you're not going to upgrade your PC in near future (currently using i7 16gb ram - iMac mid 2011, graphic card 2gb)
2. how much better the dynamic range compared with A7?
3. how many stop better of high iso performance compared with A7?
4. weight wise coz my initial thought of using A7 is the size and weight (i only use MF M-mount lens to keep it as compact as possible). now it seems much heavier for the body only.
I am sorry if my question annoy some of you.. but i just want to know some honest feedback especially from those who just a hobbyist and not make a living out of photography.
Much appreciated.
Cheers

For such a detailed test and comparison, I think it's best that you wait for "professional" reviews from reliable sites bro. Hope you are not offended by my reply. But from some playing last night, I find that the dynamic range is slightly much better than my previous 1DX. But don't take my word for it. This is from my unreliable comparison. Hope others may help you with your queries as well.

Basically all descent sony cameras have better DR than 1DX...canon is not good at this category.
For day to day usage, one clearly ddoesn't need a7r2. A72 even A7 is good enough

anyone has a7rii with canon mount tamron lens to show some result =D
Hey guseliz, when i first dived into my a7r i've been asked "do you actually need 36 mp for daily use?" When i swapped over to the a7II, it was perfect as a stills camera for me ( the 5 axis and all ), i saw no reason to switch over to the a7rii other than its video features. I bit the bullet and did it anyway. You see its really simple, there's really no need to justify your purchases, just get what u feel is comfortable within your budget, at the end of the day, an Iphone or a samsung phone is awesome enough for day to day use. I'm a hobbyist, i take photos only when i travel.

Lucio, don't mind if I check with you on something.
I am a A7II user myself. In terms of the IQ, it bugs me that OOC jpegs of indoor pics tends to skewed towards the yellowish side and pics looks somewhat saturated. Is it the same on the RII even with the back lit sensor ? Pics are taken with the "Standard" profile.

how much more for quick charger
Should be $63 as per discussed on previous pages. I think it's good for travels, when you need to recharge fast. But I have 4 batteries now. Lol super kiasu?

mirror-less are battery hunger, more is better since on paper it say 350 shot but i believe is much lesser de.
Anyone tested the eyeball tracking feature? does it work for adapter lenses?
