Sony a7 II (Alpha 7 II) Mirrorless
Full-Frame CameraProduct Gallery
Product Overview
Sony a7 II is a mainstream mirrorless camera in the Sony E-mount system. Introduced by Sony in 2014, it comes with a full-frame sensor with 24 MP (6000 x 4000) resolution and a 2.36 million-dot EVF.
The camera has a usable battery life, though a second battery may be a good thing to keep in your camera bag. The Sony a7 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 a7 II comes with 117 autofocus points.
