Sony a7R II named DP Review Best Camera Over $2000

Sony a7RII continues to rack up the Awards. It’s just been named DP Review’s 2015 “Best Camera Over $2,000”

“The Sony a7R II wins this group for many reasons: it is arguably the most innovative, most improved, and houses the most features of any camera in this category. 399 PDAF points offer the largest frame coverage and truly challenge full-frame DSLR AF. We were in disbelief at the incredibly high AF hit rates we observed across multiple shoots, so we baselined the system against DSLRs in a slew of continuous AF tests to find that, sure enough, the a7R II challenges some of the best DSLRs, even in low light. Continuous Eye AF is a boon for candids of even moving subjects, and better-than-DSLR AF accuracy ensures critical focus for shallow depth-of-field applications. Many of these AF benefits disruptively carry over to 3rd party lenses when using electronic adapters, an industry first.”DP Review

  1. Hi Brian, your work is very inspiring. From all your valuable information, I ended up purchasing the Sony a7RII and really love it. But, recently I was on an assignment and was shooting tethered to my iMac via Capture One. In the transfer process, my USB cable got disconnected and I lost some important images. I noticed that the photos did not record to my SD card, is there a way to shoot tethered and have images stored to SD card to avoid any future disasters?
    Thanks,
    Jon

  2. Hi Brian! Thank you so much for the help the other day; I followed your advise, and got myself the A7II and the 90mm macro.
    You were right, the lens is great, I’m loving it so far!

    But now, I was looking for a decent (nothing too expensive at this point) macro flash to add to my kit. For this particular hot shoe and lens what would you recommend? How important is TTL?
