There are some new things in here over the A7rII

But this maybe worth a read

Shooting tethered to computer you can now have images go to computer and write to your card. There is backup now. Love this

It's my favorite feature on the camera for what I do. It allows you to move files from the camera wirelessly to a computer or server. This is an $750 add-on with Nikon cameras.

This is the first time I have seen anyone openly admit they are cooking the raw data. Now using 16 bit processing. That is probably what they did to claim 15 stops of DR from the same sensor.

I don't use the Sony smart remote app often, but the times that I did, I remember thinking it has improved a lot and was a life saver! Being able to use my phone with a screen to shoot is so much better than a button remote!

Also the touchless shutter app was awesome for long exposures when I didn't want to disturb the camera and introduce camera shake. I wish they'd keep it or at least integrate it into the menu to preserve the functionality!

my gripe, is still being 18mp in crop mode, and no medium raw, like 24mp option which would be really nice.

Has Sony ever had new cameras back ordered like the d850 is? I didn't order the a7rii on release so I don't remember. I know they didn't with the a9, but that obviously won't sell as much as this.

Just wondering since it took me a good 5 minutes instead of 1 like some of you =)

You're averaging two green samples for every pixel, so noise in the green channel will be reduced slightly, hence DR will increase (slightly).


But they didn't state anything for the A7RII - that's the whole problem!


Sony stated 14 stops for the A7RII.

Does this have medium (~24mp-ish) RAW setting?


Just talked about that above - looks like APS-C is 18MP as in previous models. Will that work for you?

No it’s not there. Be nice to have I admit. I shoot 20k images in a few days and it’s a lot of process but I go to crop mode so it helps.

According to DPR "Hands On" this is for jpegs. Due to the advanced jpeg engine it shares from the A9.

Where did they state that? I don't think I have ever seen it.

It looks like there is an attempt to address banding issues in silent mode. Probably not as good as the A9 but we'll have to see...

Do you have a source? I can't find one and it's not mentioned anywhere on the product page or the detailed specifications:

https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/interchangeable-lens-cameras/ilce-7rm2/specifications

"wide" dynamic range is mentioned several times but no actual figures.

Couple of questions about Pixel Shift if possible.

1) Do you get a raw file once these files are combined?
2) Can the technology be used with flash lighting? (we use Profoto D1's which have <1% variation between frames from our testing).

I run a repro studio and a camera like this could be a far more budget friendly solution for very high resolution capture than the 100mp MFDB solution we were looking at (fantasising over ). Even with the lenses it will require to maximise the potential. No it won't be as good, possibly not even close but yes it might happen at that price rather than a Phase One iXG. Don't we love the bean counters.

Is a medium raw option something that is difficult to implement? Just seems like another one of those many things that would be nice and shouldn't be too difficult to do but Sony just seems to not care.

This is big deal. Good catch.
