FotoHansKeuzekamp sent me theses pictures to show the A7II is now shipping in Europe too. I do hope you all will get your preorders before Christmas. According to Sony Stores if you order the camera now you will get it after Christmas only. There is also a new hands-on by SonyAlphaLab and Iridient Developer 3 beta 4 now has support for the Sony A7 II.

Out of stock on Amazon.
out of the topic but, any new on the RX1s/2 Admin?? I’m dying to know any bit of it
+100000000000000!!! 🙂
I sense we are being thrown a “curve” ball on that one.
It was a good surprise that my A7II (Body Only) ordered on the Sony UK store arrived on Friday.
Yes Admin, please say about the RX2! when will be?
curved sensor or IBIS or no bayer sensor??
Thanks,
Daniel
I hope to see some high quality FE tilt & shift lenses (like Canon offers) in stead of more bodies…
Don’t get your hopes up, the tilt/shift lens is currently not very popular and there are good third party options available.
Aren’t these lenses operated manually anyway, so why not just use one of these Canon t&s lenses with adapter?
Maybe the other German optical company will step up and offer their T&S lens for the FE mount.
Buy a Canon camera and tilt shift lens, then go to the Canon blog and complain about the crappy sensor.
Why crappy? It actually has better colours, I find.
I love the banding in the shadow areas, no other brand comes close.
On some German Sony forum, some dude working for a larger retailer something that there’s currently just over a hundred units allocated for all of Germany, outside the Sony Store. So if you’ve preordered with some dedicated photography shop, you’ll be shit out of luck.
I just received e-mail confirmation, that my A7II is available for pickup at my German pro retailers store. 🙂
Start up the BMW and go get it!
Unfortunately I need to go by tram – my car died in an accident 10 days ago. 🙁
But anyway – I’ll go and grab it. 🙂
Sorry to hear that, hopefully no one was seriously injured. The car can be replaced.
I am quite ok, thanks. The others were lucky as well.
Accident hasn’t been at my fault. I’ve been a lucky guy – was able to get a little bit out of the way. Heel broken and several bruises. Car is done.
Just picked my A7II up today. Nice haptic. Grip is much better, and the shutter button is well positioned now.
And the mount seems to be much tighter. No play, np wiggling of the lens.
Tomorrow will be customization time, hehe. Will go out for some testing on Sunday – if the weather is fine and foot doesn’t hurt to much. Can’t await it. 🙂
Gute Besserung and happy shooting!
Thanks 🙂
Got it delivered from Sony Germany yesterday! Their prognosis on the delivery date was spot on.
If the body has 5 axis in body image stabilization, why does the lens also have image stabilization? Is the lens stabilization disabled when used on the a7II?
Scandinavian Photo in Norway says shipping jan 10 2015 – and thats not even a promise …
