Sony A7S II 

Top Rated Gear: Used Sony Alpha a7S II Mirrorless Digital Camera, 4K Internal Recording, Ultra High Sensitivity WDR, 5-Axis Stabilization, High-Speed AF G MFR: ILCE7SM2/B.

Get an efficient low-light camera with the Sony Alpha a7S II. The 12-megapixel Exmor CMOS sensor has impressive sensitivity up to ISO 409,600, and this combines with the 169-point fast autofocus that can pinpoint focal points even when it's dark. It also supports 4K movie recording thanks to the full-frame sensor, and pro-level movie functions include support for 120 fps full HD as well as S-Gamut3, which produces a larger range of colors so that you can enjoy even better image reproduction and ease of use in postproduction.  Inside this mirrorless camera is Sony's SteadyShot image stabilization, which compensates for yaw, pitch and roll to ensure that you get blur-free images even when you're shooting handheld at higher apertures or in darker environments. It's the little things that help, however, and the mode dial has a lock so that you don't accidentally switch settings when traveling, and the magnesium alloy camera body assures outstanding toughness. The shutter also passed the 500,000-cycle durability test, producing very little sound and vibration throughout. The Sony Alpha a7S II also uses a 3-inch movable LCD touchscreen for easy shooting in awkward positions.  The a7S II has evolved in both Stills and Movies adding internal 4K video recording, 5-axis image stabilization and High-speed AF with enhanced accuracy - while maintaining its legendary low-light/ low noise capability for extraordinary high sensitivity of up to ISO 409,6002. Additional updates include; S-Gamut, Cine/S-Log Picture Profiles and 120P Full HD 1920x1080 high-frame rate video for 5x slow motion.  &#149; 12.2MP full-frame sensor for low light & wide dynamic range &#149; Full-frame 4K movie recording1 w/ full pixel readout & no pixel binning &#149; High ISO up to 409600 w/ fast 169-point AF in light as low as EV-4  &#149; 5-axis in-body image stabilization benefits every lens  &#149; 120P Full HD 1920x1080 high-frame rate video for 5x slow motion &#149; Supports Picture Profiles, S-Gamut. Cine/S-Log  &#149; 2.4-million dot XGA OLED Tru-Finder w/ ZEISS T* coating  &#149; Shutter vibration suppression, first curtain shutter & silent shutter &#149; Simple connectivity to smartphones via Wi-Fi & NFC w/camera apps  &#149; Durable, reliable and ergonomically enhanced for professional use    12.2MP full-frame sensor for low light & wide dynamic range   The innovative a7S II features a 12.2 effective MP full-frame Exmor CMOS sensor paired with a powerful BIONZ X image processor, allowing it to shoot at a sensitivity range of ISO 50 - 409600 with unprecedented dynamic range. The extra-large pixels on the a7S II collects dramatically more light than traditional cameras to produce beautifully detailed low-noise images in even the most challenging lighting situations.   World's first Full-frame 4K movie recording with fu ll pixel readout and no pixel binning   The a7S II is the world's first camera to offer internal 4K movie recording in the full-frame format with full pixel readout and no line skipping or pixel binning - resulting in images that exhibit higher resolution and less moire and jaggies than typical 4K movies.  It also provides you the option of shooting 4k in the super 35mm format and the ability to capture uncompressed 4:2:2 Full HD or 4K QFHD output via HDMI to optional 3rd party external recorders. Enjoy the improved autofocus with 169 AF points and let every lens benefit from the 5-axis SteadyShot INSIDE image stabilization.   Fast precise focusing in light as low as EV -4 with 169-point AF   The a7S II has been upgraded from the a7S and now offers 169 AF points for fast, precise focusing with greater accuracy compared to the original a7S. The low signal-to-noise ratio produced by the image sensor of the a7S II enables the Fast Intelligent AF to detect contrast more easily and react speedily even in low-light situations (as low as EV-4), when it's even tough to check focus with the naked eye. The AF performance on the a7S II is also twice as fast as the a7S during video shooting.   5-axis in-body image stabilization benefits every lens   The 5-axis SteadyShot INSIDE is fine-tuned for 4k video capture. It accurately compensates for blur caused by camera shake from five different directions-vertical, horizontal, pitch, yaw and roll-as opposed to only two in previous systems.  The 5-axis image stabilizing system excels during video recording and even compensates for blur caused by the user walking or running.   120P Full HD 1920x1080 high-frame rate video for 5x slow motion   For the first time ever in the Sony a7 camera series, the a7S II can support high frame rate 120fps shooting in full-HD resolution (1920x1080) 100Mbps using the entire full frame sensor. Video can immediately be reviewed on the camera screen and eventually edited into appealing 4x/5x slow motion footage in Full HD (24p/30p) resolution.   Supports Picture Profiles, S-Gamut. Cine/S-Log   The a7S II boasts numerous features, common to Sony's range of professional video cameras that enhance a cinematographer's ability to capture breathtaking video while benefiting their workflow. Video functionality has been enhanced with new picture profile settings; S-Gamut Cine/S-Log and S-Gamut/S-Log, simplifying color correction and delivering wide dynamic range (up to 1300%).  The a7S II even offers impressive 14-stop latitude in the S-Log gamma setting, while also supporting other popular profiles for cinematographers including S-Gamut/S-Log that can adjust settings like gamma, black, level and color adjustment, and can be saved for use in a multi-camera shoot. Other enhancements include the addition of Gamma Display Assist, a new function that allows users to pre-visualize the post-graded video when recording S-Log movies, and the improvement of the Zebra function for even greater control.   2.4-million dot XGA OLED Tru-Finder with ZEISS T* coating   The XGA OLED Tru-Finder in the a7S II has been upgraded with the world's highest viewfinder magnification of 0.78x (roughly 38.5 degrees in diagonal field of view) and shows clear images across the entire display area. The use of ZEISS T* Coating ensures sharp reduction of reflections on the viewfinder. Unlike an optical viewfinder, the OLED Tru-Finder can be used to instantly show how exposure compensation, white balance and other selected settings are affecting the displayed image.   Durable reduced-vibration shutter   The a7S II's shutter includes a new braking mechanism which cuts mechanical front/rear curtain vibration by about 50%. Additionally, you can use the electronic front curtain shutter mode for even less vibration.  This not only minimizes camera shake that can blur details and also reduces noise. Silent shutter mode eliminates shutter activation entirely for completely silent shooting. The new shutter mechanism on the a7S II is extremely durable having being tested to 500,000 cycles.   Simple connectivity to smartphones via Wi-Fi/NFC.   Thanks to built-in Wi-Fi, you can easily connect to a compatible iOS or Android smartphone or tablet with the free PlayMemories Mobile App. From there you can control your camera, preview and frame using your mobile device and trigger the camera shutter or movie button.  Then instantly transfer a photo or MP4 movie to your device. NFC (Near Field Communication) provides "one-touch connection" convenience to Android smartphones and tablets with NFC. Simply touch devices to connect. Setting up your mobile device is as simple as downloading a free PlayMemories Mobile app.   Personalize your camera with PlayMemories Camera Apps.   Add new features to your a7S II with PlayMemories Camera Apps. Find apps to fit your shooting style - with everything from time lapse, motion shot and more.  Use apps that shoot, share and save photos to your smartphone using Wi-Fi, making it easy to post photos directly to your favorite social media site or backup images to the cloud without connecting to a computer.   Wider lens compatibility   Directly compatible with the growing family of E-mount lenses, the a7S II can also be used with Sony's A-mount and others lens systems with optional adapters. Sony's complete 'a' lens system includes several premium offerings from Carl Zeiss and G Series Lenses.  Sony's E-mount lens system is particularly well-suited for video shooting, with a variety of models containing "movie-friendly" features like smooth focusing, powered zoom control, and silent iris/aperture control. 5-axis image stabilization lets you enjoy unparalleled handheld shooting freedom with more of your favorite mountable lenses.   New-generation RGB filter with gapless on-chip lens design   The larger than normal pixel size on the 35mm full-frame image sensor with effective 12.2MP, employs Sony's latest image sensor technologies on the a7S. To boost the image sensor's light collection efficiency, a new-generation RGB color filter has been adopted, in addition to the gapless on-chip lens design, light concentration technology and photodiode expansion technology delivers unprecedented high sensitivity and low-noise levels with high dynamic range in every light condition from severe low light to bright sunlight.  By applying an AR coating on the surface of the seal glass over the image sensor, ghosting and flare have been minimized, further contributing to the a7S's high image quality

Used Sony Alpha a7S II Mirrorless Digital Camera, 4K Internal Recording, Ultra High Sensitivity WDR, 5-Axis Stabilization, High-Speed AF G

Recently the camera no longer holds the settings memory
have to rest all settings every time the camera is turned on/off - seems to clear itself and rest to clean factory settings - have to reset time, date etc, and all menu memory settings

Lost settings

I bought this as a second camera to accompany my pxw FS5. It's a perfect smaller, lighter option for my gimbal and for travel work.

Video features are superb

no photos taken form this device so i am not updating any photos

not used anything

I bought it over a year ago and being used to a canon, I am still struggling with the menus when shooting manual. The camera takes a little longer to focus too but when it does the pictures are really sharp, especially in low light.

confusing menus

I bought this as a back-up to my Sony A7SIII and I love it. I especially love it for stills as I can stick a 256gb SD card in and be good for over a month of non stop shooting photography. I bought it as a video back up, but most of the time I'm using it for photography and not videos (when I'm not working) and I think it does an excellent job. 

I like it for shooting in low light at high ISO values handheld and still get great results. I included a few examples. The difference in quality between it and my Sony A7SIII for photo quality isn't terribly far unless you want to go above 51,200 ISO, then the SIII had an edge imo.

Great stills AND video camera even in 2021!

Perfect low light camera, love the weight, compatibility with my 7riii. Wish it used the new battery but Saltillo love it.

Perfect Low Light

I got it a while ago and it was getting hot while I was using it I thought it was normal until it got too hot while using it and i dropped it because it burned my fingers a little not enough to blister but enough to hurt so now I'm left with a broken ish camera (works but most buttons wont work and I dont even know what wrong with it cant record) that probably isn't covered by Warrenty will update if it is not happy with the purchase in general and cant find receipt so...

Really good camera great quality but over heated

Bought this camera, love the camera. Love the focus peaking in this camera, focusing was great even manual focus.

Love this camera A7sii, fantastic camera

I bought this camera over a month ago and I am so glad I have moved over to Sony. I previous filmed on a Canon 5D Mark iii. This camera is amazing!

A7S II

I needed a low light camera for a video and this camera was able to deliver. Very satisfied with this purchase.

Owner

Good quality video in normal light but when you push it to the limits with high ISO or slow shutter speeds mine exhibits a purple cast on the left hand side of the frame. This is very noticable when taking video of low light scenes such as the night sky. The attached frame grab from a 4k25p video shows it at the extreme with a shutter speed of 1/4 sec and ISO 102400. It is still visible with a more normal shutter speed of 1/25th. 

Could this be a faulty sensor? There are lots of others reporting it.

Purple cast on sensor at high ISO

Great B camera for shooting interviews and using on a gimbal !
I use the A7sii camera (of which I own 2) alongside my Sony PMW F5 Main camera !

A7sii

Bought for my daughter who loves making films; it ticks all the boxes for her: quality of film, slow motion, zooming in, to name just a few. Not cheap but, worth every penny.

Love it love it love it

I bought this camera for a specific job, which involved filming bioluminescent Dinoflagellate algae - the camera lived up to its reputation, with a maximum ISO of 409,600 it captured the brief flashes of light emitted by the algae. I then tried it for macro filming of insects in the wild and the results are gorgeous.

Low light supremo

Everything in the bundle is useful except the monopod. The monopod is flimsy and doesn’t really hold the weight of the camera well. It also tilts the camera and makes it hard to shoot at a straight angle.

The package comes with very useful accessories

I love this camera. I have owned it for two years now and it has been perfect. I only wish it had 4k 60fps. That is the only thing I'm waiting for to upgrade to the next chapter of Sony.

Two years in - Still great!

I BOUGHT THIS ONE WEEK AGO AND IT'S AWESOME

I WOULD RECOMEND THIS CAMERA

EXCELENT CAMERA

Most amazing piece of equipment I ever bought, I’ve shot amazing video with the Sony A7sii specially in low light, S log is brilliant, some of Sony A7sii footage I compared with Arrie camera and no one could tell the difference. amazing.

Knight owl

Love this cameras images and videos but unfortunately after the warranty period the camera developed problems with its image stabilisation system. This seems to be a very common issue (turn off and on again error but doesn't resolve it) and so it is unfortunate Sony will not fix it as a known fault with the build.

Excellent features but poor reliability

I am using Sony mirrorless since the sony launch A6000 and A7 series. It was the bebst decision to shift on this mirror less. Am still sony A7S II for my video recording in weddings. Not able to get anything better and will update only with Sony a7m3 with new color report.

Great Low Light with 4K resolution

So happy with my a7s2 for video, photos arent the best but the video is incredible! Which is why I bought it anyway.

Worth the move from Canon

Bought this DSLR camera. Extremely clear sharp photography. Highly commendable.

Review RSM 7asII

I am super happy with the camera. Only thing is, the box for the monopod was wet when I got it but nothing inside was wet.

Great experience

perfect for budget low light professional filming.
the only problem i found it is the limit of 25 fps on 4k

low light amazing sharp

Used this camera and lens for the Aurora, it worked so well I bought some more of them.

Awesome in low light

This sony A7Sii has been a great step up from my previous DSLR when it comes to video. I am loving the internal stablisation, the custom buttons and custom function menu. It is giving me a lot of control to make it my own. I'm still adjusting to using it for photos as I came from Canon. I have found it to be a little bit less intuitive but this may just be as I've only used Canon previously and need to get more comfortable with the feel of it. Although it's primarliy used for video so it's been the perfect upgrade and the build quality is also much better than my previous EOS 600D.

Perfect filming companion

Just made a quick promo video for S.Marlo - Ain’t Got Forever Really unplanned video... spent. 1 hrs driving around the neighborhood taking video and my wife edited for 3 hours using whatever footage we got out of camera in short time frame. Video turned out pretty good for the time invested in. Thanks Sony for a great all around camera.

Buy it and buy it from Adorama who has the best service and prices!

It's one awesome camera, I love everything about it.

Absolutely Amazing

Bought for low light video and photography, I was delighted with the overall quality. I have not yet used it in the field (wildlife) but local tests indicate it will deliver the quality required. I am impressed with the full range of features and capabilities for both stills (especially in RAW mode) and video. With use of converters, I can not only use my excellent full frame Sony A Mount lenses but also my huge range of superb Olympus OM lenses and also the Pentax K 1000mm f11.0. This camera has opened up new video and still options for me and I should have bought it earlier. The price was the main obstacle.
