I'm pretty excited about the sensor. This is different than the one in the D810 so its probably using even newer tech. I wonder if it has an AA filter or not... I was under the impression there couldn't be PDAF unless there was an AA filter.

I didn't read anything about EFC but the new shutter mechanism is reported to improve the shutter vibration up to 50%... Whatever that means .
Based on its 4K full-sampling for video over the APS-C area of the sensor then I imagine it'll not only have an EFCS but also a fully-electronic shutter mode like the A7s.
I can't wait to see if Sony has any plans for an A7S MKII!!!!!!!!! Surely it'll have to come at this point! Maybe some time during the holidays or early next year.
Ps - if anyone is planning on getting rid of their a7r for a quick buck please let me know!

From the press release:
"There is also no optical low pass filter on the camera, ensuring that scenery and landscapes are captured in the highest possible resolution and clarity."
Additionally, the focal plane phase-detection AF system on the α7R II works well with Sony A-mount lenses when they are mounted on the camera using an LA-EA3 or LA-EA1 mount adapter. This allows users to enjoy the wide AF coverage of 399 focal plane phase-detection AF points, high-speed response and high tracking performance with a wider range of lenses. This marks the first time that the AF system of a mirrorless camera can achieve high performance with lenses originally designed for DSLRs.

Agree on viewfinders. It'll be cool if this becomes a bit of a competition. This one is just slightly larger than the X-T1's Finder (0.78 vs 0.77), and that's fantastic. Wonder who will pop a 0.8x finder first.
I really hope it does become a competition, this is actually one are where some real competition is needed and has been ever since the "death" of old time SLR's. I think EVF's will allow for much bigger viewfinders as well compared to DSLR's.
As for who pop's the x0,8, touch choice... I'd go with Fuji but very hard to guess.

MY Minolta 200mm 2.8 HS just became a superstar
I wonder if metabones can make EF lenses use the PDAF on this camera.

Just was thinking about the sensor. I wonder what the pixel pitch is on it. From what I read it sounds like the DR is very high.

Honestly we are not going to see a A mount body again. Im not seeing it will be needed given this ability. The A lenses will be the fast glass like it always was.
hmmm. Now the issue is what glass to have. Too bad the 24-70 f4 isn't better.Also, I wonder why bother putting OSS in all of these prime lenses if all bodies are going to have IBIS.
