Pros: Nothing special

Cons: Not reliable/ build quality, AWB, Focus Peaking, slow in any aspect.

Opinion: I'm having my Sony A7II for 2 years now. In the first year the shutter was blocked. Today there is an issue with the SD card slot. I cannot insert a card anymore. I don't know such things from my Nikons. I don't think that the Sony A7II is superior to any other camera in that range, but you can get used to it. I have accepted that the auto white balancing is not correct. The focus peaking is not usable, when you want to set the focus precisely. When you press the shutter release, there is a significant delay. It takes some time until the camera is ready for the next exposure. The battery is light and small. The battery life is poor. Nevertheless I have had fun with the camera. With an adapter you can use a lot of lenses. I have used Olympus, Nikkor, Contax and Leica R lenses. Especially the combination with the Contax Zeiss lenses is great. My major concern is the build quality. I would not recommend this camera to buy it used. My next mirrorless camera will be a Nikon or a Canon.

Pros: fast full frame

Cons: sometimes the software

Opinion: I was impressed by the build and photographic quality of this full frame I find myself really well in the shot is very similar to the small a6000 but the quality of the full frame is impressive sometimes there are smudges in the software but they are correctable, has a greater level of professionalism starting from the screen and the series of additional rings and buttons that help in the work, then it is tropicalized

Pros: For what it costs, everything.

Cons: For what it costs, nothing.

Opinion: Purchased used a couple of years ago to reuse my old Minolta MD lenses. After a while I bought the ea la4 ring to reuse the Minolta AF optics as well. I did not want to throw money into bodies that after three years are devalued by 70/80 %, the 24 mp for me are enough and advance and not cropping if not very limitedly, I do not feel the need for big MP. I put a non-original BP on it and the weight is absolutely not decisive. The batteries do not last long but weigh and cost little so, in my opinion, they are not a problem. Even the much reviled "slow" AF, so slow is not, if you set the camera correctly of out-of-focus photos come very few. I'm talking about athletes moving at a speed of about 50 km/h. The noise is there but even here it is a matter of set the machine well to see it reduced by a lot. Excellent file quality and colors may need some PP retouching but it depends on personal tastes and the quality of the lenses used. Nothing that you can not fix in posts with a few clicks. Stabilization works very well, if someone then looks for the moon they can turn elsewhere. It's definitely not the perfect car but with a little practice you get pretty close.

Pros: image quality, lightness, image stabilizer, optical park

Cons: high iso, battery life, just a memory card slot, difficult and chaotic menu

Opinion: Bought in 2016 and after 5 years it still churns out excellent shots, too bad the little resistance for high iso, for me they are not a problem for my way of shooting, I do a lot of landscape and consequently I shoot almost always with the tripod, I recommend it given today's price for those who want to approach the world of mirrorless FF, then the optical park over time has improved becoming of great variety and quality, one of the points against it the battery life I have three and the menu highly chaotic.

Pros: Full-frame; Image quality; High iso resistance; Light; Rechargeable with a power bank; Sensor; Paired processor sensor; Valid in 2021 and for several years to come. Light and not bulky.

Cons: One slot; He makes the videos.

Opinion: Just bought and took about thirty photos. As a first impression it seems to me that it is not really a lightning bolt in focus, but it remains a FF that churns out good quality files even at high iso, therefore suitable for contexts such as portraiture, fashion, still-life, landscapes, street. It would also be suitable for church ceremonies, but it does not have the double memory slot and is a serious shortcoming, which they solved with version III, where the machine becomes pro in all respects, both for the double slot and for the burst that makes it also suitable for sports photography. All in all, I think it's a good all do that in weight and size offers portability. The only thing I don't understand is why every four three photos are blurry, but I think it's up to me, maybe I'm still used to 5D III or maybe I have to sect it well.
