In a nutshell
Summary

Prepare to be amazed by the full-frame, palm-size Sony A7R Mark II. The world’s first 35mm full-frame back-illuminated CMOS sensor, featuring 42.4 megapixel high-resolution, fast hybrid AF, 4K movie recording, higher ISO performance and 5fps shooting speed.

The Sony Alpha A7R Mark II digital camera takes mirrorless imaging to the next level. The incredible sensor is built for improved low light operation and speeds up data throughput, for superior high-resolution images and 4K recording.

In the hands
Micro review and performance highlights

Thanks to its solid-build and rugged engineering, the A7R Mark II is ready for action in all conditions. The lightweight, compact body is weather-proof sealing out dust and water, allowing you to continue capturing in the most inclement of conditions. The Sony A7R body uses magnesium-alloy plates on the front, top, and back for a rugged exterior. The grip has been well-sculpted to comfortably sit in the hand.

Ideal for
Recommended usage

The Sony A7R Mark II is more than capable of delivering movie-standard recording. This camera has a higher-resolution 4K QFHD: 3840x2160, full pixel readout without the pixel binning of the Super 35mm format. For capturing in difficult positions or simply for convenience, the Sony AR7 Mark II offers a high-resolution 1288k dot 3-inch tilting screen integrated at the back of the camera.

Having a 5-axis image stabilisation system that is carefully fine-tuned to the 42.4 megapixel performance, means you are able to zoom in on distant subjects, capture close up and night scenes with minimal blur or shake, and ensure maximum clarity. It really is as convenient and easy as it sounds.

Features you need to know about
Key features and USPs

Enjoy higher resolution, sensitivity, and readout speed. The 42.4 megapixel CMOS sensor boosts light collection effectiveness, increases circuitry scale and, along with the help of a quick-transmission copper wiring layer, outputs data approximately 3.5 times faster, with minimal image noise.

With the ability to capture such extraordinary detail, you won’t want anything getting in your way. That’s why the Sony AR7 Mark II has a newly developed reduced-vibration shutter that minimises image blur. The silent shutter mode also eliminates camera shake during shutter movement.

For faster, smarter, truer processing, the Bionz X image processing engine ensures images benefit from low-noise depiction for clearer, more natural shots. Users can also s
