Pros: amazing image quality, best resolving power of any camera Ive ever used. can be adapted to use any and all other brands of lenses. Impressive low light capability. lighter than most DSLR's Too many options to mention
Cons: IN camera HHS would be the only thing I would change
Opinion: I have had this camera for a week now and moved over from the Sony A99. the low light capability, the resolution quality it all surpasses what I was hoping for. with the firmware update 14 bit RAW is now available which makes the camera even more forgiving. All in all its a great package that I will be pushing the limits for the next few years. I would highly recommend this camera to anyone doing commercial work

Pros:Sensor, autofocus (not like A7III or A9 but still superior to many other machine bodies),
Cons:Ergonomics and battery life, things solved with sony's next series. Maybe even high ISO noise, but after all it has 42MPX, so you know
Opinion:My first FF and my first mirrorless at the same time, sold now to switch to a higher model. What to say, a gorgeous car. The raw they churn out are certainly heavy (I recommend compressing them with the function in the room), but they can be croped and modified endlessly. Getting used to the mirrorless system has not been as difficult as many describe it, and has brought considerable advantages, especially the electronic viewfinder. The only flaws: ergonomics (considered a flaw only after trying the Sony A7III) and battery life, which forces you to always have a couple of reserves.
Pros:Build quality, spectacular images thanks to the backlit and stabilized 42mp sensor, extreme ease of hand sealing, really remarkable value for money
Cons:For me widely forgivable given what it offers in relation to price, however we can say: battery life, single slot
Opinion:For now I use with adapted Sigma ART, Nikon AFS G + AI and Olympus OM lenses, then with manual and automatic maf using for those AF a Commilte adapter that works excellently. At first I was hesitant whether to take it or not, since rIIi and rIV have already come out (but at very different prices). I assure you that it took little to remove any doubts. With enormous pleasure I rediscovered the pleasure of being able to do well without autofocus. That alone would, of course, be enough for me to justify the expenditure. My old and beloved manual maf optics (Nikkor AI and Zuiko OM) are chirping to be able to return to say theirs. Autofocus with original optics (which I really don't care about at this point) I haven't tried it yet, when and if I take an original AF lens I'll update this review. The merits and defects read them above, needless to repeat. It is a machine of absolute substance, which will say its for many years to come, that 42mp sensor (in fact the same as the rIII) stabilized and backlit is its strength because it allows really remarkable performance in every situation
Opinion:After almost a year of intense use of this machine I can express my opinion. I say that I only do street and portraits set therefore, both the pros and cons, should be seen from this point of view. I really like the sensor and the files it produces. Even in jpg gives me what I need without having to complicate my life with very heavy raw and very long pp. 42mpx are not always necessary, indeed in my field they do not really serve. But they give me a chance to crop how much and how I want and still have a Mr. File. The APS-C mode function is very useful because it still produces 18mpx files and therefore each fixed lens becomes a small zoom as needed. THE ISO management is not mind-blowing but it is still good given the density of the sensor. The dynamic range is very good and keeps you in line with the other A7xxx. In general it is a slow machine. Not very fast the Af. Not very fast writing files and not very fast operation in general. Being passionate about manual lenses I had regrets and exaltations with this machine. The 42mpx sensor undermines some manual targets (and not only) that less powerful sensors gave me great satiation and with this instead show all their limits. The only manual lens that gets excited with this machine is my fantastic Zeiss ZM Distagon T.35mm f1.4 with that and the sensor of the A7rII I discovered new horizons!!! Many complain about battery life. For me it's something not to even take into account and I laugh when I read such comments. The batteries are so small and light that keeping a couple of spares in your pocket does not bother you and to replace the battery takes less than 10 seconds. So what are we talking about??? I and I had Sony A7 of the first and the secinda generation and in this A7rII I see the same flaws as the others. Ergonomics, slowness, operation etc. Having never tried any third- or fourth-generation Sony A7s, I can't say if the defects listed have been fixed or belong to sony DNA. Overall a good machine but not absolutely perfect. For the genre that I do and for the files that give me instead I can say that I will hardly change it! Vote 9 MS
Pros:Overall build quality, sensor quality and available functionality
Cons:Poor battery life, single memory slot and AFC management
Opinion:Purchased in early 2020 to complement it with the Nikon D810, I must say that the files it churns out are even better than those that the D810 produces both for the ease of processing and for the quality that they have especially at high ISOs. Also used with the Commlite Pro V6 adapter, it allows me to use all my Nikon G optics with performance almost similar to the original. It's definitely not a machine suitable for sports photos or photo hunting, for these uses there are definitely better performing machines. The AF works very well even at low lights and with native optics there is also the functionality of eye AF. Used with both native optics and adapted optics, it churns out extremely sharp rows especially in landscape photos and portraiture. It can be used quietly as an all-round camera even in travel reporting. Because I chose Sony instead of the Nikon Z7, because in the face of similar performance, I have a more mature system, with a greater choice of native optics and which today is located at much lower cost than the Z7. Having to use optics adapted with similar performance, you might as well use them with an adapter towards a more mature and complete system.
