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.

Cons:A little bit of everything, the engineer who profiled the color coming out, probably had raised his elbow to dinner
Opinion:Machine in general, I find the top a7s in everything , also and above all on a photographic level , with the S the files are delicious as color and shades, they are poetry, with this I tried everything, nothing, Mirrorles nonsense, I review the files and I always remain demoralized, really ugly. Then the whole thing emerges from the photos shown here. I don't have any more words, I keep it just to connect the nikon and vintage optics.
Opinion:After 3 years of use. My first FF and to this day still does its job perfectly. Beautiful build quality, solid and manageable. Perhaps on ergonomics the A7 series does not excel, but even with hands as big as mine you get used to it right away. Chosen mainly for the very sharp full-frame sensor and its compactness/lightness. As a hiker I like to have a light machine body, in favor of maybe some quality lens even heavier. The only flaws perhaps are the lifespan of the batteries (but that quietly come at the end of the day) and the famous Sony menu not at all intuitive and dispersed. In summary, very good machine body also in 2020. I know that the new versions have really taken a leap in quality but for now the A7II fully fulfills my needs.
Opinion:I bought the Sony a7II about a month and a half ago, and I'm very pleased with the purchase. The features that have impressed me the most are definitely the sharpness of a higher level than some FF with which I have taken for years. The stabilization of the camera, makes impeccable the focus that is fast and precise. To these quality I add the compact design that makes the camera light and small but with great potential in terms of product quality. With all due respect to the Canon of which I still proudly own an FF model, I think I have made the best purchase in 10 years of photography. The only boring part is the slowness in saving raw files, but this does not prevent me from continuing to shoot during a photo set.
Cons:Focus peaking not perfect using magnification
Opinion:I only use it in manual with manual lenses, via adapter. I don't know the autofocus features. For the use I make is perfect, you can use all the lenses with special adapter, in their original format. By setting 5 "custom" functions on the physical keys (exposure area, focus peaking color, ISO, lens focal length, magnification) you forget about the menu on the screen, which is kept off and saves battery. I also have a Fuji X-T1, of which I really appreciate the physical dials and focus peaking that works well even with magnification (in this respect one step ahead of Sony) but the quality of Sony files is superior. The 24mps are sufficient and correct for use with vintage lenses. Recommended for those who want to photograph in manual but via digital sensor.
