Okay out of the box . Love at first sight. The grip alone is worth the upgrade. Love the texture of the body too. I just tried AF continuous with the 16-35 and as advertised but than I put the 50 1.4 on with LA4 and I still get focus tracking AF lock on. I think I just wet my pants. LOLJust got off the phone with Guy -- actually it was more a, "Oh, FedEx is coming up the walk, BYE! ... Click..."
:ROTFL:
Especially not for under $2,000...First thoughts after a few hours. It is truly amazing what Sony have managed to pack into such a small package, you only have to think back a couple of years and this wouldn't have thought to have been possible. IBIS, FF sensor, High iso range, IQ, DR, High quality EVF. WOW!!
That's what I'm betting on but If I can offload these extra lenses (especially the Leica ones) I may just get one of these to replace my A7. I sort of feel like I need the "hold me over" but that's just the Christmas spirit going on...Agree the extra little weight is better. It feels just so much more balanced. Seriously drop a 46mpx sensor in it and the A7r is gone
You are lucky that you are in Arizona. IBIS is more stressed here - somewhat higher shutter speeds needed because of the shivering cold...I'm sitting outside in my chair with the 50 1.4 lens and just did a shot down to a 1/4th of a second and it looks awesome
LOL! Early Adopter Envy is so unbecoming. ];-)I hate all of you.
ok, my bank account hates all of you...
This is not some grand experiment being played out. A reliable and sophisticated tool being discussed while being in actual use.LOL! Early Adopter Envy is so unbecoming. ];-)
I'm delighted for all the early adopters that the camera seems such a nice upgrade. I'm also happy to sit out this early adopter round... I hope the reports stay positive in a week or four.

Guy:I honestly don't think this is any early adopter camera. This has some serious improvements over the current model A7. I'm seeing it as almost there for sure. I'll leave it at 90 to 95 percent perfect for the 24mpx model. Seriously if they put the 36 in this and make it a A7rII it takes all the current issues away with the A7r. EFC, better mount, higher sync, faster AF, better ergos by a long shot. I wish Sony would stop here drop in a 36mpx sensor charge 600 dollars more as this would make it a great one / two punch system. Than go for broke on a 46mpx one but I would maybe just stay with a 36mpx . It would serve the market better IMHO
Frankly this model should sell like hot cakes as it may just bury any other 24mpx cam today.
I may end up taking the plunge. The II isn't "perfect" but I've given up on perfect. It does address two improvements that are welcome over my A7 - the IBIS (which I loved on my Pentax bodies) and a bit meatier grip. I still wish it had the silent shutter that the A7s has.I think I will sit out the whole a7II transitions and wait and see if the rumor site is right about a a9x in the pipeline for the first half of 2015. My a33, NEX5, NEX7, DP2m, A77, A77mk2, and a99 are doing all I need at the moment
Glad the a7II is being enjoyed.....
