Sony a7S II Review

Lisa Gade reviews the Sony a7s II, Sony's second generation full frame 35mm mirrorless camera that targets video shooters. We test it with a variety of Sony FE lens including the 55mm f/1.8, FE 24-70 f/4 and the FE 70-200mm f/4. The sample photos were taken without flash and we used no studio lights for sample video.

The a7S II can shoot 4K video internally as well as high bitrate 1080p footage and it has Sony's 5 axis IBIS (in-body image stabilization). The camera has Sony's 12.2MP EXMOR sensor an BIONZ X image processor (same as the last generation A7S). It features high ISO capabilities that make it an ideal low light and night camera for both photo and video. At $3,100 it's an expensive camera, but its quality sits well above more affordable prosumer options and it's still much cheaper than Canon cinema and RED cameras.
