Sony’s A7 series can rightly be called legendary. In the full-frame mirrorless camera market, Sony has created a distinctive lineup that consistently delivers quality. Every model in the series has its own strengths. Newer cameras can sometimes overshadow earlier versions, which is unfortunate in the case of the Sony A7 II.
A7 II: The First with Image Stabilization
The Sony A7 II is a mirrorless camera with a 24.3-megapixel full-frame sensor and was the first of its kind to feature five-axis image stabilization. The system compensates for five types of movement while shooting photos and video. In other words, it helps deliver sharp images when zoomed in, shooting close-ups, or working in low light. Besides counteracting unwanted camera shake, it lets you use shutter speeds up to 4.5 stops slower, providing greater flexibility and creative freedom.
Choose from a Wide Range of Lenses
One of the A7 II’s major advantages is its broad selection of compatible lenses, allowing you to tailor your kit. In addition to E-mount lenses, an adapter lets you use A-mount lenses too.
Fast and Reliable Autofocus
Another important feature of the A7 II is its fast Hybrid AF system. It helps you respond to fast-moving subjects and capture sharp action photographs. With 117 phase-detection points and 25 contrast-detection points, the camera focuses accurately on moving subjects. The Sony A7 II can also shoot five frames per second.
An Excellent All-Round Camera
With a high-resolution XGA OLED viewfinder, Wi-Fi and NFC, a 3-inch tilting LCD screen, and a body resistant to splashes and dust, this is an excellent all-round camera for many situations. Its magnesium-alloy body is lightweight yet sturdy.
