Review on Sony Alpha ILCE-7M2 Body, Black: High-Performance Camera for Professional Photography by Stanislaw Buzala ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The right product for me, the price suited me.

If you think optics are too expensive, check out the new mirrorless systems from Canon, Nikon, and Panasonic Lumix S and their lenses. By themselves, many concerns will vanish:) Benefits from: 1) The matrix stabilizer is a fantastic tool for the office. No matter what lenses are being utilized, the image will be stabilized. 2) The option of "shoving" a large number of valuable features into the Fn menu for instant access. This menu can be customized to suit any preference or color scheme. The Sony menu system is different than Nikon's and can take some getting used to, but once you do, you'll realize how much more convenient it is. Thirdly, it has the most extensive optical lineup of any full-frame mirrorless system. Since the introduction of the Sigma line of patches, the selection has grown substantially. 4) If you don't shoot sports, you'll be happy with the autofocus. A mirrorless camera surprised me by producing better than I had anticipated. Reviews in the third edition of the seven claim that the delay in mirrorless autofocus compared to mirror one is no longer an issue. 5.Adequate light sensitivity and picture quality. The combination of a low-noise matrix, a stub, and an aperture of 1.8 allows you to photograph in nearly any light. While I understand why some people have issues with noise at 6400 ISO and beyond, I have not seen any cameras in this price range that produce acceptable results at those settings. The electronic viewfinder can be mistakenly activated in low light. When the camera is rotated, any decrease in light reaching the eyepiece sensor is read as a move toward the viewfinder, and the screen becomes dark. Manual switching method requires assigning a key. 2) Independence. Sony has reduced the battery life in this model so that it can be more portable. It seems like the battery life has been drastically reduced when compared to my previous Nikon D600. Fairness requires me to point out that charging the battery is quick. Nikon's aperture priority mode, which I typically use, does not allow for a maximum shutter speed to be set. 4) Promoted diminutive size. The compact size of the camera has advantages and disadvantages. In my opinion, this is more of a drawback than an advantage because, first, the camera is poorly designed for those with large hands, second, the battery life is laughable, and third, compact size does not equal portability (and this baby weighs not much less than full-frame DSLRs)
