The Sony A7II

I've read this entire thread and have been entertained and certainly informed on opinions.

I sold my A7 mid this year. At the time I was rather disgruntled with the build quality. It seemed quite a step down from my EM-5 build wise. A petty reason perhaps but there were other factors in my life at the time. I sold it "used" and actually made a small profit for the first time ever. Now that the A7 build issue has been addressed in the A7II, and add the stabiliser I am back, hooked again. I have a new project that will need a ICL camera so a A7II is at the top of my shopping list.

When someone here who has an A7II reports back, I would be interested to hear what the shutter button feel or feedback is like? Thanks in advance.

Welcome back! :)

The reviews so far have been very positive re: ergonomics and build quality. I'm sure myself and others will report back once we start getting the camera this week.

My order from BH Photo still shows "in stock, sent to warehouse". No shipping info, so not sure if it will ship today.

I can't wait to hear the thoughts of everyone. I've checked this thread a few times to see if the cameras have reached everyone. Here is the camera store's hands on video link

I like their reviews, it really is hands on and things like how one uses any camera with gloves (we have couple of really really cold months around here) is addressed. Their comments about AF are what I kind of expected; improved but not A6000 level.

What are the odds on you winding up with two A7II's by the end of the week if you like it more than you expected!?!

If the store has it I'll grab it and cancel Amazon they did not charge me yet. If so I'll put my A7r in the box to ship and maybe save the tax. :D

Seems the reviews are confirming what people kinda suspect: a solid upgrade with useful new features and ergonomics at a great price point and with a little extra weight. Well done Sony. It won't make everyone happy, but its solid progress.

The A9 is going to be interesting. I kinda hope they pull all the stops out and don't worry too much about price. Even just as an observer, I want to see what they can do when they put the pedal to the metal. Are we going to see A6000 speed focusing, 46mp, quiet shutter, IBIS, pro body with full sealing etc? While they are at it, a 24mm prime please, preferably with optical brilliance at the expense of aperture speed. F4 is fine... something like the 24 Elmar-M f3.8 :)
