Description of š· Sony a7R II Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera (Body Only, Black) - ILCE7RM2/B: Unbeatable Quality & Versatility
- Excellent dynamic range Excellent photography in the dark Amazing viewfinder Incredible picture quality
- Thin belt, slow tooth.
- Resolution, sharpness, sensitivity and dynamic range of the matrix. Colors do not degrade with iso. I consider the value of 4000 iso to be working. Shadows in RAW are drawn really well. without strong noise and banding as in 5d mark2. High quality video recording. Many video recording modes (resolution, profiles). Wireless functions (transferring previews to a smartphone via wi-fi). Charging from micro-USB
- Don't like the screen! Very low resolution, a Chinese smartphone for 8000 has a much better screen. I don't like the viewfinder. I still can't get used to the optical one. Incredible gluttony - with the camera turned on, about a percentage per minute! Autofocus is very dull when focusing at close range, as if there is not enough range. But you switch to manual mode and there is still a decent margin. (Described problem with FE 28 f2.0) With a full-length portrait, face recognition does not work and there is no automatic focus on the face.
- - the best 35mm sensor on the market - sensitivity (it's amazing) - no anti-moire filter on the sensor, which means razor sharpness - colors are natural and pleasant - 43 megapixels - the best EVI on the market - swivel display - dimensions - the weight - accurate AF - Shutter vibration reduced compared to previous models - quiet mode - Eye AF (works great, no more defective portraits) - Multi-zone AF (399 focal points and 25 contrast focus points) - AF does not need to be adjusted, unlike DSLRs due to a different technology - working with manual lenses is more convenient and pleasant than on DSLRs (zooming directly in the EVI, focus peaking) - EVI (you see exactly what you get in the viewfinder, unlike a pentaprism) - magnesium alloy body - metal mount (unlike its predecessors) - 5-axis stabilization in the carcass - stabilization in the carcass works even with ancient glasses like Helios: just indicate the focal point in the menu and that's it - excellent native optics, primarily primes (Zeiss Batis; Zeiss 55mm 1.8; Zeiss 35 1.4; Sony Macro 90mm 2.8) - short working distance - through adapters you can hook everything that is not available on the mirror: Leica, M39, Canon FD, Canon FL, Canon R and others glasses (you can also safely install Canon EF-S), not to mention modern Canon and Nikon glasses - autofocus in video! (full automatic with native glasses, by half-pressing with canon ones through Metabons IV) - the ability to get AF with Canon L-lenses through Metabones IV - video quality (better than 5dm3, Canon Cinema, Sony FS 100, FS 700) - writes 4K video directly to SD card (unlike a7s) - in Super35 mode, video without pixel-binning, cinematic quality without any discounts (Canons have a rest) - WiFi (Jpeg directly to an iPhone without a computer) - customizable custom buttons - Comes with two batteries and a charger
- - AF is slower than 5dm3, you can forget about shooting sports - battery (total 320 frames in RAW) - only SD (I love CF and trust SD less) - sharp and uncomfortable rubber pad on the viewfinder (compared to 5dm3) - general ergonomics is much inferior to 5dm3, precisely because the camera is small - the grip is worse than 5dm3, since the little finger falls through and the load passes to the other three fingers - Sony's ARW ravines have a built-in jpeg to view only 1616 x 1080, which is inconvenient when previewing on a computer with viewer programs like Faststone, you cannot quickly assess the quality of a photo during preview - the camera thinks for a long time after shooting, you canāt immediately see the captured frame on 5dm3, there is a delay (I think the reason is 43mp and SD) - a smaller fleet of native optics in general (in comparison with the market leader Canon) - Sony FE zooms are dark (f / 4), Canon accustomed to f / 2.8 L-cams - a shameful strap in the kit (much worse than the native Canon one, for example), I bought a narrow Japanese ProTAMA leather strap - it looks great.
- BSI sensor. Sensor! Once again the sensor! Picture. Colors. 5 axis stabilizer. Ergonomics of Sony (in the viewfinder: digital zoom, zebra, focus peaking, histogram, etc.). Price reduction due to the release of a new flagship.
- The battery is actively eating, which already comes with 2pcs. Only one memory card slot. The standard belt is narrow and uncomfortable, you need to take it from ordinary DSLRs. The size of the uncompressed RAW is 100MB, but we havenāt learned how to reap normally without loss. When shooting in RAW, it noticeably slows down, although this does not interfere with the shooting process, it mainly affects viewing photos.
- Very high image detail Image as a whole
- Ergonomics Skinton Colors shutter sound Lack of focus point selection joystick
- At the moment (winter 2022-summer 2022), this is the most affordable camera to enter the "major league of photographic equipment" - the studio segment of photographic equipment with high resolution and very high image quality. For your money, you can get a device comparable in many image parameters with models in the 200 thousand+ segment and above. Also a plus - shooting 4K30p video, working from an external USB source Good, fast and accurate work with Canon lenses (I work through Sigma MC-11 and through some Chinese adapter for 2 thousand) - quickly catches focus on Canon 24-70 2.8 and 70-200 f4, at the far end only sometimes stupid.
- Compared to DSLRs, it still turns on more slowly, and the battery capacity is smaller. Autofocus in video mode does not work very well, perhaps only with native lenses such as Sony 28-70 or Sony G 24-105, and even then not very well. Rumbles and sometimes pulsates. Even in a6500 it is implemented better. Let's face it, Canon's 2022 Dual Pixel is still far from the convenience and speed.
- Satisfied so far
- I will write again later
- Good product for the price
- flimsy
- Sleek design
- Long delivery time
