Yep Sony did it and the A7rII shutter is really way more silent and proof ready for a wedding shooting! Just hit the play button on the video to hear the difference!

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but anyone here shoot Sony Mirrorless for weddings? If you do, what is the typical battery life and how many batteries do you take per gig? Thinking about switching over.
Original a7. Got 5 and a half hours on one and a half batteries with flash used for about 50 shots (600 total). I think 5 batteries should do the trick to be on the safe side.
Sony battery life varies wildly between bodies and settings within E-mount system. A sony NEX-7 with manual focus nikon adapted lens and I get 1000+ shots per charge. Working the same scene wide angle, with say, a Zeiss Touit e-mount 12mm at my hip, and a6000, the constant rack focusing means that camera will drain juice very very fast.
A7s is the same, glorious for weddings, but that viewfinder really eats battery. Still, with NP-50 or whatever at $10 generic from Amazon, I’m not complaining, since Nikon batteries were $100+ for my D2X.
I rock an A7s, A6000, and RX1r for set pieces and group shots. This three camera combo can shoot anything wedding, in my humble opinion.
Thanks Taran,
That helps a lot. Sometimes I see people mention they carry 10 batteries in and that seems a little excessive.
