Good news for A7sII owners! Sony just released an official statement about the Sunspot issue (Source: EosHD):
“We have confirmed this phenomenon and are now analyzing it to develop a firmware solution to solve it.”
Let’s hope this wont take long. And on the video above you can also see the latest A7sII review from Kai.
Mat: “Here is a recent video we took on Halloween night with the Sony A7s II. We tested it in all sorts of extreme low-light conditions, even those where the human eye couldn’t see a thing! 🙂

Would be easier to release another Gary Fong video explaining why sunspots are cool.
That’s funny! Thanks for cheering up a dull, grey morning.
I think we found RenKockwell’s new username.
18MP, 248K high ISO, possible?
Why 18MP? And why 248K ISO (seems a strange number)?
But of course its possible, but…. why?
I think he just downgraded from what the A7s is capable.
I guess it’s a typo for 2048K (2^12 x K), half of 4096K of A7s.
Possible but not make sense for video as it ruin 1:1 pixel mapping of full sensor size (cropped to 16:9 ratio) for 4K video and ruin the whole point of this “video” camera. Next resolution that will be perfect for 8K (also 4K, full HD and so on) is 4x12mp=48mp.
The sensor pixels must be so sensitive, that over a certain light threshold, they simply pass out.
It must be a software problem, as it does not happen with 24p or 60p or in any still.
? “Black hole sun, wont you come, and wash away the rain.”?
This might be a turning point: Sony admitting, and addressing an issue quickly.
the main question is: why happend it? Don’t they test their stuff before release???

Sounds like Apple 😀
Exactly the same issue happened with BlackMagic cameras (and for the same reasons – Google is your friend), and it was fixed via a firmware release… so I’m sure the same will happen here with the Sony.
Without the A99II my life is so depressing now- I don’t care if the sun don’t shine in my photo’s.
