I am not in the camp of pre-ordering (I never do), but I will closely follow tests and reviews of the A7R II. As others mentioned earlier, I still find its introductory price a bit too high.
Where I am really curious about are the following points which are not too clear yet:
a) How do rangefinder lenses work on this improved back-illuminated sensor, especially wide ones? Is it a big difference to A7R performance with them or just marginal?
b) Even for me AF is not a \"must\", I am curious how much better in comparison to a Canon 5D series camera EF lenses work with AF using the MB adaptor.
c) Electronic camera menus - are they redesigned and improved or still very similar to the A7R? New/improved apps for all Sony A7 series cameras or only for the latest generation of them (A7 II, A7R II)?
Even I feel the euphory about the new A7R II, I am currenly more leaning towards waiting for its successor. I could change my mind especially if (a) shows a really big benefit with rangefinder lenses. For the rest I am able to manage well enough with my current A7R.
