Sony a7S II ILCE7SM2/B 12.2 MP E-mount Camera with Full-Frame Sensor, Black

Product Information

The A7S II uses the micro USB port (2.0) whereas the A7S III has USB C that accepts power delivery and fast charging. The mark III also has a digital audio interface (multi interface shoe) compatible with Digital Audio microphones such as the ECM-B1M. has a 1.1x crop. XAVC S-I (S&Q) 4K 120p 10-bit 4:2:2 requires CFexpress Type A (VPG200 or higher). XAVC S-I 4K 60p 10-bit 4:2:2 requires SDXC V90 or faster. XAVC S / XAVC HS 4K 120p 10-bit 4:2:2 requires SDXC V60 or faster. XAVC S HD 240p 10-bit 4:2:2 requires SDXC V60 or faster. CFexpress Type A supports all internal shooting modes. This device comes with a 1.3cm XGA OLED (0.5 type) electronic viewfinder (color) that provides you with a clear preview of the object. Creative Style, developed for still photography and the in-camera JPGs. There are 13 of them that can be customised with three parameters (contrast, saturation and sharpness) plus 6 presets (Style Box) to save your favourite settings. The ISO sensitivity range of the Sony a7r ii camera is 100-25600, and you can adjust this sensitivity range to 50-102400. Another side, the Sony a7s ii’s ISO range is 100-102400, and this range can be expanded to 50-409600. So, if you prefer to take photos in low light, then the Sony a7s ii would be better but make sure you know the process of adjusting the ISO range. Otherwise, if you want a camera for regular use, then the Sony a7r ii would be good enough. Image Processor and Continuous shooting speed

Sony supplies the A7s II with one charger and two batteries, whereas the A7 III comes with a single battery and no charger. It performs better in that the images are cleaner, more colorful, and more accurate than the original but if you’re gaging it at just ISO sensitivity it is about the same.On the left you can see a comparison (100% crop images) between the Sony a7S II vs. a7R II in their best 4K modes. Overall the image looks really really similar. But I can see two things: These cameras have a one-year limited warranty. Therefore, if any manufacturer defect is found, you will get a free repair service from the company. Sony internal test. 25 deg C (ambient, camera when recording started), Auto Power Off Temperature: High. The value will vary depending on the shooting conditions.

The colour is natural, resolution is plenty, some files when taken properly kinda look great to me. They both use the entire width of the sensor to perform full pixel readout without pixel binning, meaning that all the pixel are used to create the video files. Here the A7 III could have a small advantage in terms of sharpness because it uses more pixels (6K of resolution) that is then downscaled to 4K. However when recording at 30p, it performs a small crop on the sensor (1.2x) unlike the A7S II. I prefer to use manual focusing on all of my work, like I have for the last 43 years. The A7II makes MF very easy. ISO values between the 2 cameras are all over the place too. The Sony A7SII appears to let in a lot more light at the exact same ISO setting, but it really just appears that they’ve adjusted the ISO values by a stop or so. This really doesn’t mean anything in the context of this review, but if you look close you might see the ISO on the II set lower at times for this review.This of course made everyone want one as you could never record in dark situations until the release. Most DSLRs Filmmakers used had always been known to not be very good in low-light due to the APSC sized sensor and other aspects. Again most DSLRs were only able to achieve a usable ISO of around 3200 of course depending what camera you had. When Sony released the A7S, this changed everything. You were finally able to record video in ultra low-light and the footage was usable up to such a high ISO. Most tend to desire to apply any noise reduction after with more complex software and want no "baking" done to captured raw images.

Up to 10 fps in continuous “Hi+” mode and up to 8 fps in “H” mode. CFexpress Type A memory card. Sony tests. So, you can see that the Sony a7r ii has professional and upgraded features, as mentioned above, which are not available in the other camera Sony a7s ii. Therefore, we strongly recommend The Sony a7r ii camera for you. Frequently Asked Questions about Sony a7R ii and Sony a7S ii What is the viewfinder type of Sony a7r ii camera?The α7S II's shutter speed range is 30 s to 1/8,000 s for still images. For bulb movies, the shutter speed range is 1/4 s (1/3 s step) to 1/8,000 s. [2] for discussion on the dilemma of the latest r2 firmware issue that makes anything over 4 seconds eat stars, you may be aware. Hopefully they won't curse the a7sii as well. I do wish you'd been specific in mentioning that that photo was taken with the FE35 f/1.4, either by stating that in the write up or by including the EXIF data. I suppose it only stands to reason, since that's the only f 1.4 native lens available, but still...

The α7S II features a 35mm (35.6 x 23.8mm) full-frame Exmor CMOS sensor capable of capturing approximately 12.2 effective megapixels. [4] Autofocus and metering [ edit ] Sony has increased the number of autofocus points available from 25 on the A7S to 169 with the new camera. It also claims a 2x faster AF response in video mode. It still relies on contrast detection autofocus, however, and unlike the A7 II there's no phase detection element. I want something that is specifically excellent for astrophotography (both still and time lapse), and still in the Sony Alpha family so I can benefit from my investment in glass. Additional areas of interest are general time lapse camera with faster frame write speeds in RAW than the A7RII, night video (very minimal), and having a "spare" body for the A7RII.Sony a7r ii and Sony a7s ii cameras are formed with Sony’s latest BIONZ X image processing engine. Therefore, both devices can perform faster and ensure accurate color combinations. Besides, their continuous shooting speed is 5 frames per second, enabling them to take proper shots of any fast-moving objects or instant moments. Viewfinder Type and LCD monitor The great thing about sensor-based IS in a camera like the a7 II is the realm of possibilities it opens up for third-party, and adapted lens users. There are three different codecs / recording levels on the new camera. In addition to XAVC S which is also found on the A7S II, the mark III model can record with XAVC HS with H.265 compression efficiency, or with XAVC S-I that uses All-Intra compression.
