Brian Smith hands-on review
Something strange: In many European countries like Germany there is no(!) A7sII preorder option in any store. Not a good job from Sony 🙁

Is Sony planning to introduce timelapse and full electronic shutter both working at the same time? (without intervalometer)
I spent the last couple of days listening to them talk about the camera, and they didn’t say anything about that. I agree that the Timelapse app is a real bummer to those of us who do timelapses regularly…
Has you in you’re comparison from the SLog2 a7rII vs. SLog3 a7sII the video scene from the a7rII downscale.to 12 MP?
Why would anyone want to downscale the video? Max resolution is the same on both cameras
No a7rII 42MP/ a7sII 12MP. I can’t to explain, why the contrast and the microcontrast is in the deep from the video in SLog3 poorer than in SLog2. The video looks also in the deep a little darker in the Slog3 from the a7sII.
You asked if the video is downscaled to 12 mpix. Neither camera can shoot 12 mpix, 4k is maximum for both of them. You cant downscale the video to 12 mpix.
I hope in the next comparisons videos gives more clarity about this phenomenon .
Hey Tony, nice to see you on the rumor sites 🙂
That’s too bad. I’m hoping they will also lift some other constraints as well, e.g. continuous, bracketing and bulb mode being restricted to 12-bit readout. For those doing exposure bracketing for more dynamic range, or bulb for Milky Way and starry sky shots, these are also quite the bummers
This is the reason why I sold my Nex 5T that Apps suck! Pentax has the best time lapse setting in there K3 and K3II!
just curious, what do you not like about the timelapse application? i use it a lot and find it OK with a few minor things id change, but have not used a lot of other options with the exception of an external ir trigger which was cumbersome, and find the internal app much better. what has been your experience?
A7S2 is available at Foto Mundus in Germany as body and kit options. http://www.fotomundus24.de/shop/sony-alpha-geh%C3%83%C2%A4use-p-25013.html?osCsid=quqdotr8qtgpkjvktqoj7ctoh6

So why did Brian Smith disable comments? I saw few there and later *poof*
Sony closed the official Sony online shop 🙁
Does the a7sii record 120fps video as full frame 1080p video? or is it at an aps-c crop?
