Matt Granger shared his impressions on the new A7rII he used on his Bhutan trip. There are also a wish list for the future A7rIII or A9…just watch the video to hear them all!
On the video above Kai compares the Sony A7rII vs the Canon 5DSr. And for him the winner is the A7rII because “Sony is showing the way in terms of new technology” and it’s the “most exciting camera“.

Kai’s like, totally lost it, hey? It’s ok tho, long as he isn’t dismissive of the a7 series any more
Thank goodness we have a few resident experts on this show who can intelligently discuss technical matters users need to understand. But Kai is shaping up well as the video version of Ken Rockwell. Redundant, droning commentary on what we already know. His roaming the streets has taught me nothing thus far – seems to be catching up most of time.
I’m glad you love Sony as much as I do Kai, but please, give us something interesting!!
Urhmmm… nu…
At least Ken actually shoots.
Matt has been known as that Nikon Guy, and came up with a lengthy list of beefs with the A7rii. However, he’s shooting mostly with the Sony, and it sounds like he’d completely switch over with only a few tweeks and a few high end zooms.
Matt still think the Sony cameras’ high ISO performance is still crap. I wonder what he will think of the Sony A7SII. He’ll probably say the AF is crap.
According to Kai, picture quality is there for the Sony A7RII. What’s lacking is the speed, responsiveness & AF that you get from a DSLR. May be the A9 will solve it all. A7RII picture quality, A7SII low light performance with D4s AF & Speed.
Quite useless as always…
Question: When do you know that SAR turned into Canon Watch
Answer: When honest critic is strictly not aloud
You have to face it: A7 series is a good sensor in a subpar shell, nothing else.
To be honest, it is kind of grotesque to compare Kai with Ken Rockwell. You may dislike Kai and many critics have valid points, but Ken is on a completely different level (on a downward scale of course).
In addition to that, Kai may not be a great photographer, but he has some skills and definitely a good eye, which is essential for the credibility of a camera reviewer. In contrast, Ken is such a sh*tty, talentless photographer, constantly emphasising how well he knows what a real professional needs. Ken’s well structured, no-nonsense, informative (in terms of specs) review pages (which I absolutely adore for its simplicity and formal beauty) can not hide his incompetence.
Feel free to dislike them both, but they are not comparable by any stretch of the imagination.
Kai compares A7R2 + Zeiss 55 F1.8 with the Canon 5DS + Canon’s 50 1.8?! Is he serious???
Because? Should he have used the Otus on the Canon and a Samyang on the Sony?
The 55mm f1.8 IS a Sony Lens with Zeiss QC.
Because he is comparing a 900$ lens, one of the sharpest lenses sony has to offer, to a 125$ lens that is well, it is cheap. Testing both cameras to the same same lens is an adequate test, or at least getting two sharp lenses.
Yes, crap.
Really liked the matt Granger review, pretty spot on with my views…also being a mainly Nikon user but having and A7Rii
Still, this camera rocks!!! Love it
I’m going to take a wild guess and suggest that most of the commenters on this site have equally or greater insights into this gear as those who profess any expertise at all. I really appreciate the more full fledged videos that reveal real life scenarios and technical issues we might not catch or realize.
Gary Fong seems to give us this level of content. Pro shooters are usually insightful too. And the touch of controversy between the established pundits is useful and entertaining.
A99II !
Aloud? Haha ironic 🙂
