Review Summary
2024-11-19T19:00:00
The camera is great. But extremely limited compared to other brands/models. For e.g it doesn't have the timelapse option as you have to download the app separately, and the app has been discontinued for no apparent reasons. Similar to this, a series of in-camera app are discontinued and you'd have to buy a separate intervalometer and all.

After many years of using other party cameras I ventured in to full frame photography and have not been disappointed

I'm a freelance Gig photographer. I used to shoot with an A330 but when I upgraded to the A7II, my quality of work boosted and I got more serious clients.

I bought this to replace my old Alpha58 and I am very pleased with the camera and what it can do.

Having used all manner of cameras from the humble Practica to digital Nikon; Lumix and many others I find the Alpha 7 ii has a sturdy, reliable feel and the menus system is one of the best I have used as many others are too complicated for fast photography. Its kit lens 28-70 3.5- 5.6 is one of the most surprising lenses for quality that I have seen top marks . There is just one niggle!! the noisy shutter as it goes off with quite a whack no doubt fixed in later versions. Overall a great buy and a great camera even taking in its thirst for power from its small battery. I understand this is not a problem in later models

I bought my camera on an amazon prime day deal for below £800 for the camera and kit lens. For a 10yo camera it is still very capable despite lacking some of the modern niceties such as a fully articulated rear display etc. It's video capabilities are also somewhat dated with no ability to shoot in 4k, however, for someone like me, who wants this pretty much for photos only it's 24.3Mp full frame sensor is more than capable. I would argue its practically unbeatable at this price. It doesn't have some of the frills of the latest cameras but for someone who's new to photography and wants a camera mostly for photos. I would say it's very user friendly, compact in size and the accessories you need to use it effectively such as spare batteries & SD cards are pretty cheap as far as camera accessories go. I am really happy with my purchase.

I bought this camera three weeks ago and so far I'm enjoying the experience it's a well built camera and feels solid in the hand at first I thought my large hands would cause me an issue when using but it's not been the case, the picture quality is excellent and with my settings set to raw this camera is really exceptional when talking about editing, one small bug bear for me is the lens shade which could have a better fit , it's fallen off several times. The camera is easy to use and although I read that it's sluggish on continuous shooting mode I have not found this to be the case. The controls are easy to access as are the menus all in all it's a winner

This was a replacement for an earlier Sony Alpha camera. It has improved specs and a wide range of quality lenses. The latest price made the purchase decision obvious. On the design, it has a small development from earlier models. More of the fittings and buttons are now plastic rather than metal giving a concern that these won't last. Sony spare parts have only been available for a restricted time. Sony have reduced the battery size to give a lighter camera. This means that the battery doesn't last long. The previous Sony Alphas lasted several days of use, and kept its charge for several weeks. This model lasts no more than three hours - probably less if you use the video function. You will need to buy a stock of spare batteries to last you through the day. The camera clearly has much functionality. The biggest downside is that the instruction manual doesn't explain the purpose of the various functions. It merely gives mechanistic steps to apply a function but you don't know what will happen if you follow them. The camera probably can deliver much more than you know about which is a great pity and wasted opportunity.

Read many reviews saying the camera is heavy, but when you marry it with quality, heavy lenses like the Sony 90mm Macro and the Sony 24-105mm G OSS zoom the weight, and therefore the balance, becomes a marriage made in heaven. I can't see me ever getting divorced from this camera, unless at some point I turn it in for a younger model of much the same.

Bought this as a second A7ii back up body and at a great black Friday price. This camera may be 10 years old now but it still holds it's own against the latest models. I am not interested in video so this ticks all the boxes for Photograhy.

I purchased this camera because I wanted a full frame camera that wasn't going to break the bank . Also Sony make an adapter for my Minolta A mount lenses but I can also purchase and use E mount if I choose to . A really portable mirror less image stabilized camera body . And more importantly it takes great pictures in any light .

I bought one of these secondhand in 2023. Having recently got back into photography when given a canon 10D by a friend and fast realising I needed (..okay wanted) more. Knowing the direction the technology was heading in it was a call between a newer DSLR or an older mirrorless body. Ultimately I got a full frame mirrorless camera in the form of a nearly ten year old A7ii. Regrets? None. Yes it's lacking some features due to its age but to an amateur, coming from a DSLR a further ten years older, it's spot on. Relatively inexpensive, Sony has had its mirrorless technology out for a while now so the lenses also aren't all that over the top (not all of them, anyways). With this I've already built up a small collection of decent lenses and the camera itself has been enough to encourage me to save a bit and consider part exing it for an A7riii. However if I could avoid parting with it, it would be a very strong secondary camera.

I've been using it for more than 2 years, the main problem is autofocus and uncomfortable software for taking photos with a computer( don't work with Lightroom).

It's a model that's been out for a long time, but it's still good enough for 2023 unless you're a photographer specializing in commercial or sports photography. In terms of value for money, I think there is no competition.

I've had 35mm cameras, DSLR and favourite was Sony A6000 until I bought the Sony A7 ii and used my manual prime lenses. Just waiting for my new 85mm f1.8 AF lens for more fun.

Best Deal in the world if I'm quite honest. Pricing wise, it's an investment that will pay back ten-fold. I've had the camera over a month and from what I've made in filming it's paid itself off a few times over.

I finally decided to jump on the mirrorless bandwagon and I am not disappointed at all. The a7II produces excellent quality photos and 1080 hd video. It has been a great camera for transitioning from DSLR. I highly recommend. ??

I jumped ship from Nikon to Sony
By LEON R.
After thirty five years as a pro, I let go of all my Nikon gear. Sold off D3x, D800 and all the lens that go with the Nikon system. Was there really anything wrong with Nikon , absolutely not. Just got tired of lugging around all that heavy gear. The camera was huge, the 24-70 was a monster and the 70-200 even bigger and heaver. Guess I just had enought. Sony A7ii , smaller and lighter. The in body stabilization allows me to shoot at lower speeds hand held. The only way to put it is this cam...

Fantastic Camera Comes of Age
By Piercer
The A7 II is the current pinnacle of mirror-less cameras. It has all the great features and quality of the A7. Additionally, the build quality is incredible and the 5-axis image stabilisation works amazingly well. Stick on the FE 55 1.8 and you can take the most amazingly sharp picture.
Capture powerful contrasts and vivid colors with this Sony Alpha a7 II mirrorless digital camera. It incorporates a full-frame 24.3-megapixel sensor for impressive dynamic range and subtle gradations so that you take exceptional images when using this full-frame camera in a wide range of lighting conditions.It reduces artifacting across high ISO ranges, thanks to the BIONZ X image processor, which also ensures accurate color rendering and produces a wide rangeof effects. You can also set various parameters as profiles and enjoy the benefits of wider dynamic range for lifelike images where the subject just pops.
This Sony Alpha a7 II mirrorless digital camera also lets you take vibrant movies in full HD for a flexible recording device that meets your needs.Thanks to the five-axis stabilization, this mirrorless digital camera reduces shake and judder caused by small hand movements and the movements within the camera to produce blur-free photos even when it's dark. You can even add a variety of accessories to it to produce custom lighting scenarios and record sound more effectively for ultimate creativity. Ultra-fast autofocus, diffraction-reducing technologies and area-specific noise reduction help you create perfect photos every time with this Sony Alpha a7 II mirrorless digital camera. Sony's new compact a7II is the world's first interchangeable-lens camera to feature both 5-axis optical image stabilization (effective for all types of camera shake) and a 35mm full-frame image sensor. The 7II can compensate for camera shake when using not only E-mount lenses, but also A-mount and other lenses, allowing users to fully take advantage of the maximum capabilities of their lenses. It also expands the range of expression for handheld shooting. The 24.3-effective-megapixel 35mm full-frame Exmor CMOS sensor works together with a BIONZ X image processing engine to deliver extremely high image quality when shooting still images and movies. The 7II also offers a Fast Hybrid AF system that is remarkably fast for a full-frame camera AF system. Its advanced tracking performance captures your subject and doesn't let go. Other features include versatile movie functions, Wi-Fi/NFC, PlayMemories Camera Apps and sophisticated operability.

5-axis image stabilization
The remarkable new 5-axis image stabilization system dramatically expands your range of expression by compensating for five types of camera shake during handheld shooting of still images and movies. So you can confidently zoom in faraway subjects, snap detailed close-ups and capture night scenes with minimal camera shake blur. Since camera shake compensation is equivalent to using a 4.5-step faster shutter speed, you can also take advantage of a wider range of shutter speeds. All this, within super compact dimensions!
High-performance Fast Hybrid AF
Sony's newly enhanced Fast Hybrid AF system delivers extremely high speed response, highly accurate prediction and wide area coverage for autofocusing and tracking you can always depend on. Remarkably fast for a full-frame camera AF system, it ensures maximum speed by optimally employing phase detection or contrast detection AF depending on the scene. Whenever fleeting photo opportunities arise, you can always depend on state of the art Fast Hybrid AF.
WIDE Extensive coverage keeps AF right on track
Fast Hybrid AF smoothly tracks fast moving subjects nearly anywhere on the screen thanks to a wide-area 117-point focal plane phase-detection AF sensor. When contrast-detection AF is employed, 25 high-speed, high precision contrast-detection AF points ensure exceptional AF performance.
FAST AF captures your subject without fail
Autofocusing is amazingly fast. Just point, shoot and let Sony's sophisticated Fast Hybrid AF system instantly capture your fast-moving subject with razor-sharp clarity. Speedy phase-detection AF, highly accurate contrast detection AF and high-speed BIONZ X image processing contribute to outstanding AF performance, while a more advanced algorithm enhances the accuracy of subject detection, leading to optimization of lens drive movement that results in a 30% faster AF speed.
STEADFAST 5fps AF/AE shooting with accurate tracking
When your subject is moving fast, you can beautifully capture the decisive moment with sharp, well-exposed results via 5fps continuous AF/AE shooting. A dramatically improved algorithm accurately predicts subject movement so you can steadfastly track the subject with 1.5x more accurate performance when shooting continuously. 117 focal plane phase-detection AF points ensure accurate tracking over a wide area for up to 77 frames (JPEG Fine L) at 5fps. Moreover, a continuous AF Display lets you confirm which AF point is active.
35mm full-frame 24.3-megapixel Exmor CMOS sensor
The 35mm full-frame Exmor CMOS image sensor delivers beautiful images from corner to corner and stunning 24.3-megapixel resolution that's ideal for large-format prints. You'll enjoy low noise, an extremely wide dynamic range, and amazingly rich and subtle gradations. Moreover, innovations that could only be achieved by Sony (one of the world's leading image sensor developers) reproduce details more faithfully so that every scene looks incredibly real.
BIONZ X image processing engine
The high-speed BIONZ X image processing engine faithfully reproduces textures and details in real time, as seen by the naked eye, via extra high-speed processing capabilities. Together with front-end Large Scale Integration that accelerates processing in the earliest stages, it enables more natural details, more realistic images, richer tonal gradations and lower noise whether you shoot still images or movies.
Detail reproduction technology and diffraction-reducing technology
Detail reproduction technology depicts details more faithfully with a more natural sense of dimension, while diffraction-reducing technology suppresses the effects of diffraction to faithfully reproduce fine details even when shooting at small aperture settings.
Area-specific noise reduction
Area-specific noise reduction selectively divides the image into areas based on patterns (such as edges, textures and flat areas like blue skies), then applies the most appropriate noise reduction for each area to markedly reduce noise and achieve a new level of clarity.
16-bit image processing and 14-bit RAW output
16-bit image processing and 14-bit RAW output help preserve maximum detail and produce images of the highest quality with rich tonal gradations. The 14-bit RAW (Sony ARW) format ensures optimal quality for later image adjustment (via Image Data Converter or other software).
Enhanced grip and shutter button
The grip is refined in shape and height to support a more secure grasp of the camera even when a large lens is mounted. This also contributes to more confident operation of the shutter button and dials. Moreover, the shutter button has been reshaped and shifted forward to enable more natural shooting with less camera shake.
Meticulously crafted controls
Controls are refined for intuitive operation and immediate adjustment of parameters while viewing scenes through the viewfinder. In particular, the front and rear dials have been thoroughly refined and positioned with overall handling in mind to enable easier, more efficient turning. It's a level of refinement that surpasses even the renowned operability of other a7 series models.
Easy button customization
Button customization empowers you to shoot just the way you like, with frequently used functions assigned to the customizable buttons of your choice. You can easily assign any of 56 functions to any of 10 buttons to enjoy speedier, more intuitive operation and maximum convenience.
High-contrast, high-resolution XGA OLED Tru-Finder
The XGA OLED Tru-Finder offers faithful reproduction and impressive visibility that contribute to stress-free, intuitive operation whether shooting still images or movies. You can accurately monitor what will appear in your final images because it faithfully displays the effects of your various camera settings. Moreover, an advanced 3-lens optical system ensures rich tonal gradation and extremely high contra
