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: Sony a7RII, the top of the top: Resolution, features, autofocus, the first backlit FF, Color old mold...

Cons: Well, apart from the batteries, ISO, and af, the real cons are the cryptic menus and the buffering of writing on the cards... Then the rest doesn't matter

Opinion: Everything was said, but just everything about this camera. A Machine that I looked for, wanted, and in the end I have it with me since March 2017. After a first approach in the world Full Frame, mirrorless and Sony (owning for four and a half months the a7SII and a year a reflex canon), I definitely step into this world thanks to this camera taking advantage of what not only my way of doing photography (which always comes before the equipment) but also for what the camera offers the photographer its true technological and visual potential. I must admit that I found my death with both the a7RII and the a9 the following year. But what struck me about this camera? The resolution. It must be said that I know very well the whole R series of the alpha 7, in 2016 I took the R mk1, but I immediately sold it because of a yield not up to expectations due to the presence of the filter passes optical bass. But with the R2 I discovered an immediate felling, establishing a close bond between me and the camera. The yield is better than the first, and amazing, for me, higher than the R3. You can see the crunchiness of the 42 mpx already at a glance, which with the R3, there is but slightly lower than the younger sister. Despite owning the a9, the machine from the best af in the world to the same/or higher than the D5 and 1DXII, the autofocus of the R2 I appreciate it much more for what it can do. Ok every now and then some slight uncertainty in some situations of different lights does, but thanks also to the new sony optics with the XD Stepper Motor (always SSM) and also those that are coming out (in addition to the batis and art of the sigma), in addition to the fact that this is the first ff retro illuminate af is accurate and accurate. On the ISO estate I do not unbalance much, it is true that already the noise is visible at 3200, but it is compensated very well, which can be snapped even at ISO 6400 and only in exceptional cases at 10000 iso (max limit) and paradoxically, the ISO seal is better this than version 3. Does anyone say the sonys have a bad color? well it depends, I personally like me (don't ask me how structured the color of the R2 is that I have not understood anything yet). I find beautiful features or apps on the machine like the rangemeter (although I never use them). Beyond the usual aspects that have been said on this camera, the defects are never lacking, apart from the various limits of the batteries that burn in an AMEN! (well I have 3 and I just need it), of the ISO estate, better than the R1 but we are still far from the new models (e.g. a7III), some limitations of the af that is there but nothing alarming. But the real cons of this machine are the somewhat complicated menus (better to set the machine in English) and the limit of buffering writing on the cards. This is a serious problem because it takes longer to subscribe to files, especially on gusts of 5fps with the risk of losing photos especially if taken on non-performing SD cards or pieces. Always pay attention to the boards and the machine. But then for the rest little matters, because if you appreciate everything it has to offer and accept its flaws, you ask me if it makes sense to buy this machine in 2019? I answer YES. Personally after the a9, the a7RII is the best camera ever made by SONY, best ever of the 5ds and 5dsr and other brands that have a resolution of more than 30/40 mpx. It could be the true maturity of the system itself because here they had to insert a more durable battery, a more efficient af (although on this machine is great and even more) and an extra board, as well as in the presence of a joystick. OK that's too much what I wrote, I know. But said by a fool like me, this camera I love her much more than the R3, that despite the improvements introduced in the third body, will never have the character of the younger sister... BIG SONY

Pros: Fantastic image quality, exterminated amount of customizable keys, compatible with almost all lenses on the market, also not Sony, high ISO, dynamic range

Cons: Menu ergonomics, battery, buffer

Opinion: It's my first full frame body. I find it an extraordinary machine, it produces very high quality files even in difficult conditions. Holding on to the other excellent ISO. The dynamic range is wide, recovers in the shadows with some ease. JPEGs are fully usable if you don't want to develop the raw. In spite of the large dimensions it transmits a certain feeling of solidity on the whole. The 42 megapixel stabilized sensor also allows you to crop without losing too much detail. Basically it's like having an Extender 1, 5X virtual insertable with just the press of a button. The ergonomics of the menus is however improved, some options are hidden for good. Also the buffer is a bit ' an Achilles ' heel of the machine, not being particularly fast in writing as well with cards from 95mbs (about 2.5 seconds to photo), which leads to prolonged waits for storing long bursts of photographs.

Pros: Focus peaking effective, extraordinary sensor at the edges. The app., good video stream.

Cons: Snap Button on grip, unusable Italian language.

Opinion: Abnormal User, I do not use autofocus optics, I make a few poses in an output. I had an A7 first series beyond the sensor fills up so many functional little things. The menu is similar as a structure, very full of functions. There are also strange functions, except in Italian where the abbreviations seem to come from Aramaic or Goto. I Do not like the shutter button on the grip, in my opinion although it has grown L, grip, have the button there, instead of the back makes the grip worse. I Still do not love the center viewfinder but now the eyepiece is more comfortable for those who have lenses to view. Of the sensor has been said all in good, I noticed that on my favorite lenses (the 28 with non-retrofocus schemes). For Videos I was surprised always remains a camera that makes video, then uncomfortable and with its limitations, but the great resolution allows the crop in super35 with no compromises on the resolution peaking does its duty even without external monitors, the zebra is improved and There are a few settings for the look and grading. Appreciable the charge from USB (sin is a micro) even while shooting, which does not excel the durability of batteries.

Pros: Weight, size, quality, mpx, speed, dynamic range.

Cons: Life of the single battery Mane I have 4 and since they weigh little the problem is almost superfluous.

Opinion: To go from a gx80 to this monster was a pleasure. I shoot with the Sony 12-24mm and I'm absolutely happy with it. Even the most pushed crop is sharp and I have never had any problems with hotpixels. The dynamic range is remarkable, a small beast. The autofocus has never disappointed me but I can only speak from Landscsta. The advice.
