Reminder: The new A7II preorders are up at BHphoto , Adorama and SonyStore!
The very first full Sony A7II review has been posted in China at Dc.it168.com (google translation here). Image samples can be seen on that page (Click here). These are the reviewers conclusion:
– A great evolution but not a revolution over the A7
– Autofocus Speed is faster than the one from the A7 but still slower than the A6000
– Image quality is the same of the A7
– Ergonomic is much improved and also the camera “feels” better in terms of build quality
Pretty “obvious” conclusions I would say 🙂

Well thanks for stating the obvious. I think we all knew this is just an a7 with IBIS.
and better ergonomics! 😀
I hoped for better IQ. Downsampling D810 gives you IQ similar to D610. A7 is inferior to D610 and worse at high ISO than the downsampled A7r, which is close to the D810.
What I really want to know is how much of a difference it’ll make on lenses like the 55/1.8 and 35/2.8 and how much of an improvement it is vs the A77’s IBIS… I shoot at night wide open when I’m travelling and, while IBIS did make a difference on my A77, I’m missing it less than I expected.
” I shoot at night ” – get the a7s or wait for the mark 2
There are a few videos showing the tracking, but none showing how loud the shutter is? Come on! I hope it’s not as noisy as the EFCS on the original a7.
Hope the same…
The EFCS is actually silent. 😉
I see no reason why the shutter would be any different. I actually like the shutter sound.
EFCS is emits noise and it’s very noisy. Louder than a6000 and most other mirrorless cameras.
None of which are full frame, stop whining.
Whining? It’s a feature Sony needs to fix if they want to be taken seriously.
You don’t know what EFCS is, do you?
If it is a “police state”, it looks good! 😉
If all the police looked like that, I wouldn’t mind. Not at all.
no need to carry guns either
All we are saying is give peace a chance.
>Autofocus Speed is faster than the one from the A7 but still slower than the A6000
A6000 AF is so bright to begin with…

Sony needs to do better than A6000, if they are serious about replacing DSLR with mirrorless.
The A6000 is faster than all but a few DSLRs, duott the subtle troll.
Hello to you too, lifeform from an alternative universe.
They oftentimes take fps for tracking accuracy and set fps = “number of in focus shots”. If that would be true, I would immediately buy an A6000. Thom Hogan is close to finishing his A6000 review. He is one of those who are able to really set this into perspective.
Thom Hogan is a shill, his reviews are useless.
I like what he does.
And you’re an idiot, unsurprisingly.
Thank you for being polite and for showing your credibility.
Thank you for being a suck up and kissing Thom Hogan’s a$$.
HF, pull your head out of your a$$ for ten seconds and stop kissing Thom Hogan’s a$$.

Only Nikon is able to satisfy the professional and truly elite ranks of the photographic community. Sony will continue to provide a distraction for the advanced peasants, keeping them from infesting the truly worthy photographic ranks.
Say that to D600 owners.
