New Sony A7RII announcement

Other bonuses for those that care - Flash sync is 1/250 instead of 1/160 like on the A7RmkI and you are able to bracket with up to 9 shots now.
That is only with the Sony system flashes. With a single point contact, it will be ~1/200s tops. Still better than before.

I didn't see anything related to uncompressed RAWs, I wonder if there's anything different there. Not a big deal for me, but I know some folks had issues with it the A7 series RAWs.
Yeah, no word on that?

Fantastic specification. Really amazing. Nothing like pi$$ing all over Leica's party.

Is it me or does the new A7RII actually combine the A7R and A7S. I mean, why would you own both bodies? I'm thinking of the claimed hi-iso settings and the benefits of IBIS.

I agree with you. The back-illuminated CMOS sensor seems to make that possible, doesn't it?

I'd imagine that the A7RII is only truly usable for max resolution prints up to somewhere between 12800-25600... You can still get great (albeit smaller) prints from a A7S at ISO 51200+.

I haven't experienced any issues with the Nissin i40 or the PCB Einstein personally but I don't use them too often.

Have others seen this line in the A7R2 announcement?

"By early 2016, Sony will add an additional 8 new lenses to its FE full frame lineup, bringing the FE total to 20 lenses and the overall α -mount assortment to 70 different models."

In terms of set up, people have wondered: why have an A7s? Well, imagine a backlit A7s sensor with the Mark II body specs? We know that's next. I would suspect high ISO's in the 1,000,000 range (imagine that headline)....

Then we'll all be wanting an A7RII/A7SII combo to cover every shooting situation....For 99%, this is all that anyone could ever want or need, other than a complementary set of smaller lenses to go with that kit.....

I did not but maybe there's an updated roadmap floating around somewhere.
