Sony Alpha a7II is an advanced mirrorless Sony full-frame digital camera with a 23.3-megapixel 35mm sensor and a host of features designed to appeal to professional photographers and photo enthusiasts. It is the world's first full-frame camera with optical five-axis image stabilization, and boasts improvements in both design and autofocus speed. The shutter release, grip and control layout has been updated, the lens mount is now all metal, and the camera is sealed against moisture and dust. The a7II also features a fast Hybrid AF system that boasts a 305 improvement in focusing speed, a 5fps burst rate, and continuous autofocus. It is rapidly becoming the camera of choice for photojournalists as well as aspiring videographers.  What you should know about this camera  &#149; 24.3MP sensor: The a7II's full-frame 35mm-sized sensor captures 24.3-megapixel still images and full HD video. ISO range is 100-25,600, with 16-bit image processing and 14-bit RAW output to preserve fine image detail. &#149; Fast Hybrid Autofocus: The camera relies on an advanced autofocus system with 117 phase-detection and 25 contrast-detection AF points covering a wide area of the frame. Focus is fast and accurate via an advanced algorithm, and can track fast-moving subjects through the frame. Frame rates are up to 5fps in continuous AF, and when you shoot in JPEG Fine L format burst rate is up to 77 frames. &#149; 5-Axis Image Stabilization: The a711 houses an all-new 5-axis SteadyShot INSIDE image stabilization system that compensates for five types of camera shakes, with a roughly 4.5-stop shutter speed gain. The IS system compensates for pitch and yaw adjustments (well-suited for longer focal lengths), horizontal and vertical shift (more common in macro photography) and roll, which is especially helpful when shooting video. Even better: You can preview the effect of the image stabilization by simply pressing the shutter release button halfway or magnifying the image. &#149; Vivid video: This camera features high bit-rate XAVC S format HD video with 60, 30 and 24p recording options at 50 Mbps. Picture profiles can be adjusted, and now include S-Log2 gamma setting with a dynamic range of 1,300% of sRGB. &#149; Big, sharp LCD, EVF: The a7II features one of the highest-resolution eye-level viewfinders on the market, a 2.36 million-dot XGA OLED Tru-Finder EVF, and a high-resolution 3-inch 1, 228.8k-dot tilting LCD monitor that tilts up 107 degrees and down 41 degrees, ideal for reviewing videos and photos. &#149; A really talented shoe: The Multi-Interface shoe can be used to house a flash, microphone, and other accessories. &#149; A better body: The camera is constructed from a magnesium alloy top and front cover and chassis; the lens mount has been strengthened, and the entire body has been sealed against dust and moisture.  Carry-Over features &#149; Other than the above changes, the a7 II offers pretty much the same stellar feature set as the a7, including: &#149; 1200-zone Evaluative Metering: You can choose from multi-segment, center-weighted or spot metering. &#149; Area-Specific Noise Reduction: The image processing engine 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 reduce noise. &#149; Multi-frame noise reduction: The a7 II composites four shots to suppress noise and raise effective sensitivity in low light without a flash, while the D-range Optimizer helps coax details out of shadows and highlights of contrasty scenes in one shot. &#149; 16-bit image processing, 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). &#149; In-camera RAW converter: Lets you adjust exposure, white balance, tonal curves, saturation, contrast, hue, sharpness, or apply D-Range Optimizer or vignetting compensation.

Used Sony Alpha a7II Mirrorless Digital Camera Body undefined

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.

Limited

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

First venture into full frame photography

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.

The kit that changed my life

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

Superb upgrade

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

Fantastic Camera

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.

Great value for money

I bought this back in 2022 and I am still as happy with it as I was the day I bought it.

Great Camera

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

Enjoying the kit

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.

Quality camera, poor battery, lack of instructions

As a beginner,this product is very great.feature is good and easy to operate

Great Product

Everything was great. I've been looking to start a photography hobby and this was the perfect starter kit for me. Had everything I needed and more.

Perfect starter kit

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.

Lovely Balance

Would buy again!

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.

Sony A7ii

This is my second A7 II. I bought it because of the great products that Sony make and affordable price from BH Photo.

Still a great camera at a good price.

I Bought this a Month Ago and I like it. The quality of the picture is so Good and it has a great color Sony.

Great Product overall

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 .

Full frame of - image stabilization - compact body

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.

These days?

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).

Good for first camera

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.

Amazing value for money

Only just bought this but am so looking forward to taking some great pictures.

Very excited

Great camera, still new in photography but i have managed to produce some good shots especially long ranges. Enjoying every moment with my new sony a7ii

Best camera sony a7ii

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.

Full frame at last

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.

Best Camera Deal on the Market

I purchased my a7ii a couple of years ago and love it.
I am just disappointed that now my copy of memories 6 will no longer recognise the camera and am unable to connect via WiFi

Quality Camera

Purchased a Sony Alpha digital camera for my and he LOVES it!!

Very Impressed

Shoots amazing. Low light or sunny. I love that it's smaller than I'm used to with the DSLR's.

Amazing

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. ??

Excellent even in 2023!!

I bought my camera this mounth.

I would like to share my photos with you

Thank You
