Sony a7R II (Alpha 7R II) Mirrorless
Full-Frame CameraProduct Gallery
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.
