Product Overview

Sony a7R II is a high-end mirrorless camera in the Sony E-mount system. Introduced by Sony in 2015, it comes with a full-frame sensor with 42 MP (7952 x 5304) resolution and a 2.36 million-dot EVF.
The camera has a poor battery life, and a second or third battery may be needed to get you through the day. The Sony a7R II's 5.0 fps burst rate limits its use for certain types of photography, but it is hardly something that most photographers should worry about.
The Sony a7R II comes with 399 autofocus points.

Reviewer score 90% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from cameralabs have found:
The Sony A7r Mark II has a 42 Megapixel back-illuminated full-frame sensor, 4k video, built-in stabilisation, an electronic viewfinder with a huge image, tilting screen and Wifi with NFC. There’s also the opportunity to switch to an APS-C / Super-35 mode which crops the sensor and the field of view by 1.5 times. The camera is only beaten in resolution by the Canon EOS 5DS(r) with its 50 Megapixels delivering 8688×5792 pixels that can be output in 300dpi at 29x19in.
Pros
  • Excellent image quality
  • Improved grip, electronic first-curtain shutter and improved damping
  • 4k video
Cons
  • No full-frame sensor
  • No telephoto zoom
