You should look at the size comparisons to OMD!Compared to the A7
I think I read somewhere that it's a proprietary Sony 5-Axis IBIS (which means that maybe they took the Olympus one and "improved" it further possibly.) I rarely shoot longer than 200mm so I don't know how much good IBIS will do for me personally but it's nicety have as an option.Well, I guess this was the other reason for getting involved with Olympus, as it's pretty obvious it's their excellent IBIS system.
For me I don't need to wait for the A9 - weather sealing EFC and IBIS were what I needed, and 24mp is also just fine. I'm also pleased about the magnesium front plate.
Very excited!
You're right, Vivek. That an awesome bonus.More than the XAVC-S, it offers SLog2 gamma profiles (same as in the A7s).
One of the japanese interviews said that it is not Olympus IBIS but a completely new Sony-developed system. Those hybrid-modes for stabilized lenses are something new, Olympus does not have these modes I believe?I think I read somewhere that it's a proprietary Sony 5-Axis IBIS (which means that maybe they took the Olympus one and "improved" it further possibly.)

Area-specific noise reduction was already in the A7/A7R jpg engine, I think this is a Bionz X feature. See A7 product link below, are specific NR is listed already in thatThe specs say something about this camera using a "area specific noise reductions", which divides the image into areas based into patterns to obtain the best possible noise reduction. I'm curious about how much better is this camera is than the original A7 when it comes to high iso...though I wouldn't expect a mind blowing difference as it would start stepping into A7S territory.
No mention yet but I will not be surprised if it is not there.and any mention if the AA filter is still in place?
Jono,Well, I'm definitely in again on this one - hopefully this time I'll keep it.
The IBIS makes it a perfect candidate for use with R lenses (and of course any other longer lenses). 24mp suits me well.
a definite definite (very exciting).
Ditto. That's JUST what I was thinking. All nice improvements and tweaks but the shutter was one thing I am hoping Sony really did address.Jono,
as I know that the loud shutter on the original A7 put you off, I would like to know (from your tests) if the shuttle of the A7II is a real improvement and became quiet enough!
Many thanks in advance

Yes. This will do.Well, I'm definitely in again on this one - hopefully this time I'll keep it.

Typically they would list "dual slot" rather than multi- and I think it would have been a news leader with the IBISYou're right, Vivek. That an awesome bonus.
Also, I've read somewhere this camera has a "multi card slot". Does this mean it will store 2 cards or is it just a single slot that holds different card types? (I'm thinking it's probably the latter)

Really fine quality.
I agree on the sizes and fits.
That has everything to do with your country and its laws, I would think.:angry: (with Ebay for resegementing the market after it was opened for a few year; seems vendors want to take more money from some countries and they don't want us to see how much more we have to pay than others).
