We at Clifton Cameras highly recommend visiting our showroom for a full demonstration on Sony Alpha A7 cameras to realise the full benefits of the system and advantages of 4k photography
New handheld freedom
Now you can fully express your vision with full-frame quality and cutting-edge camera shake compensation compatible with wide-ranging lenses.
5-axis image stabilization
The world’s first in a full-frame camera
Dramatically expand your range of expression by compensating for five types of camera shake while shooting still images and movies.
Say goodbye to five types of camera shake!
5-axis image stabilization lets you zoom, snap close-ups and capture night scenes with greater clarity. Compensation is equivalent to using a 4.5-step faster shutter speed.
Pitch [ 1 ] and yaw [ 2 ] compensation
Compensate for commonly experienced pitch and yaw shake at long focal lengths.
Compensate for X and Y-axis shift shake at high magnification (during macrophotography, etc.).
Roll [ 5 ] compensation
Compensate for roll shake on the Z axis during long exposures. Most in-lens systems cannot compensate for roll shake.
Compatibility with wide-ranging mountable lenses
Use your favorite lenses without camera shake.
Enjoy unparalleled handheld shooting freedom with more of your favorite lenses. The short flange-back distance in the E-mount α7 II contributes to broad lens compatibility.
Automatic optimization for every α lens
Your α lenses will always perform their best.
The α7 II analyzes information from your E-mount and A-mount lenses to optimize depiction performance and 5-axis image stabilization for the particular lens you mount.
High-performance Fast Hybrid AF
Remarkably fast for a full-frame camera AF system
Whenever fleeting photo opportunities arise, you can always depend on state-of-the-art Fast Hybrid AF.
It captures your subject and doesn’t let go
Highly sophisticated Fast Hybrid AF delivers extremely high-speed response, highly accurate prediction and wide area coverage for autofocusing and tracking you can always depend on.
WIDE
Extensive coverage keeps AF right on track
Fast Hybrid AF smoothly tracks fast-moving subjects nearly anywhere on the screen thanks to a wide-area 117-point focal plane phase-detection AF sensor.
FAST
AF captures your subject without fail
Autofocusing is 30% faster. Just point, shoot and let Sony’s sophisticated Fast Hybrid AF system instantly capture your fast-moving subject with razor-sharp clarity.
STEADFAST
5 fps AF/AE shooting with accurate tracking
Beautifully capture fast-moving subjects with sharp, well-exposed results via 5fps continuous AF/AE shooting, a dramatically improved algorithm and continuous AF Display.

40% faster startup
The α7 II starts almost immediately after sliding the power switch on. So when fleeting opportunities arise, there is no stressful delay — just the response you need to capture the right moment.
Anti-dust system and coating
An anti-dust mechanism and anti-static coating on the surface of the optical filter help keep your photos blemish free.
Robust magnesium alloy body
The remarkably compact and lightweight body is solidly built to withstand the rigors of shooting in the field.
Accurate monitoring
Faithful reproduction and impressive visibility contribute to stress-free, intuitive operation.
Robust lens mount
The body and lens mount are built strong to provide a solid foundation for mounting large, heavy lenses.
Everything feels right
Various refinements ensure a more secure grasp of the camera and more natural shooting with less camera shake.
For shooting flexibility
It tilts upward approx. 107 degrees and downward approx. 41 degrees to accommodate wide-ranging shooting angles.
User-friendly interface
Quick Navi Pro lets you confirm current camera settings at a glance and find options without searching through menus.
Front and rear dials
Front and rear dials allow swift adjustment of exposure and other parameters while viewing scenes through the viewfinder.

Other Features
Enhanced grip and shutter button
The grip is refined in shape and height to support a more secure grasp of the camera even when a large lens is mounted. This also contributes to more confident operation of the shutter button and dials. Moreover, the shutter button has been reshaped and shifted forward to enable more natural shooting with less camera shake.
Robust lens mount
The strength and rigidity of the body and lens mount have been enhanced to provide an especially solid foundation for mounting large, heavy lenses such as super telephoto lenses and those preferred for movie shooting.
Full-frame expression without the bulk
The α7 II packs powerful moviemaking capabilities in extremely compact dimensions. You can create movies of breathtaking visual and sound quality with exquisite background blur, remarkably clear details, and the sensitivity to bring dark scenes to vibrant life. Features like Picture Profile and P/A/S/M modes further expand your creative options.
Stable viewfinder image
Monitor the stabilizing effects of camera shake compensation in the viewfinder or LCD screen while shooting still images by pressing the shutter button halfway or magnifying the image, and while shooting movies by entering movie mode. Even when using a telephoto or macro lens, you can fine-tune framing and focusing with stress-free stability.
The viewfinder offers impressive visibility that contributes to stress-free, intuitive operation. You can accurately monitor what will appear in your final images because it faithfully displays the effects of your various camera settings. Moreover, an advanced 3-lens optical system ensures rich tonal gradation and extremely high contrast.
Picture Profile
Fine-tune the look of movies before shooting by adjusting gradation, color adjustment and detail. Adjusted parameters can be saved with other settings as a profile, and up to 7 profiles can be stored for later recall.
Convenient tiltable LCD screen
The LCD screen tilts upward approx. 107 degrees and downward approx. 41 degrees to accommodate wide-ranging shooting angles. This flexibility combines with compact mobility to greatly expand your shooting options. Viewing is also clear under direct sunlight thanks to WhiteMagic™ technology that nearly doubles the brightness of the display.
Meticulously crafted controls
Controls are refined for intuitive operation and immediate adjustment of parameters while viewing scenes through the viewfinder. The front and rear dials have been thoroughly refined and positioned with overall handling in mind to enable easier, more efficient turning. It’s a level of refinement that even surpasses that of other α7 series models.
Multi Frame NR (Noise Reduction)
This mode composites four shots to significantly suppress noise and raise sensitivity, letting you clearly capture dark scenes without a tripod or flash. Camera shake blur is also lowered while contrast and detail are raised.

As a former Sony a7 user, this is a much better camera due to the 5 point stabilisation and faster autofocusing. The metal body is more rugged and the thickness of it balances the big lenses better. Of course, this makes the a7 Mk ii heavier, which some may think a downside. Most controls are the same as the a7. Images are very crisp.
−
It is not really weatherproof, the battery compartment being the place where both dust and rain can enter. There is a slight issue with WYSIWYG as the viewfinder does not react well to heavy contrast in, say, woodland.
