Posted on by

In 2015, Sony released two full frame mirrorless monsters: Sony a7RII and Sony a7SII. For me, both the Sony a7RII and a7SII are amazing cameras!

Sony A7RII ($3,198 at Amazon, B&H,Adorama): The hot Sony A7RII mirrorless camera features the world’s first full-frame 42.4-megapixel Exmor R back-illuminated structure CMOS sensor. This sensor design both improves low-light operation and speeds up data throughout, enabling fast high-resolution stills and UHD 4K video recording. The new Sony a7RII is a true Game-changer, and DPReview said “Sony’s Alpha 7R II breaks a lot of new ground in terms of photographic technology “. And lots of news said the new Sony a7RII is amazing and it is the killer of Canon EOS 5DS R and it can even beat the Nikon D810.

Sony A7SII ($2,998 at Amazon, B&H, Adorama): Sony A7SII is the new “low-light monster” camera. Revolving around a full-frame 12.2MP Exmor CMOS sensor, the a7SII is capable of internal UHD 4K recording at 30 fps with full pixel readout as well as 1080p recording at up to 120 fps, all in the XAVC S format. Benefitting recording versatility, the BIONZ X image processor also pairs with the sensor to enable expanded sensitivity to ISO 409600 along with fast intelligent autofocus with low-light sensitivity to -4 EV. Further enabling working in difficult lighting conditions, 5-axis SteadyShot INSIDE image stabilization compensates for vertical, horizontal, pitch, yaw, and roll camera movements for sharper, smoother handheld recording.
