Lost settings
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

Video features are superb
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.

confusing menus
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.

Great stills AND video camera even in 2021!
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.

Really good camera great quality but over heated
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...

Purple cast on sensor at high ISO
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.

Love it love it love it
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.

Low light supremo
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.

The package comes with very useful accessories
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.

Two years in - Still great!
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.

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.

Excellent features but poor reliability
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.

Great Low Light with 4K resolution
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.

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

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.

Perfect filming companion
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.

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

Professional low light tool
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.
