Sony Alpha a7RII Mirrorless Digital Camera (Body Only)

The Sony Alpha a7R II Mirrorless Digital Camera combines the world's first back-illuminated 42.4MP 35mm full-frame CMOS image sensor, Fast Hybrid AF, 5-axis image stabilization and advanced 4K movie recording, with sensitivity and speed to keep even fast-moving subjects looking sharp. An extended family of lenses and gear makes the most of its remarkable resolution even in tough field use. The alpha;7R II also includes a wide range of other great features such as a S-Log2 Gamma setting, Picture profiling, One-touch remote and one-touch sharing and more. These features will greatly enhance your images and broaden your horizons to so much more.

New Back-Illuminated Full-Frame CMOS Sensor

The a7R II has the world's first 35 mm full-frame CMOS image sensor with back-illuminated structure, which achieves approx. 42.4 effective megapixel resolution, widely expanded sensitivity range, and extra-low noise performance. It also has no optical low-pass filter that can compromise sharpness, so fine clarity and detail extend from edge to edge of every frame. The a7RII delivers an astoundingly high resolution.

High-Speed BIONZ X Image Processing Engine

With detail reproduction technology to capture the essence of realism, diffraction-reducing technology to maintain clarity even at smaller apertures, area-specific noise reduction to reduce noise adaptively and reproduce greater detail, the BIONZ X image processing engine finely tunes the image sensor's 42.4-megapixel data, for truer, clearer depiction. This means your photographs will be closer to what the human eye actually perceives.

Fast Hybrid AF

The high-performance image sensor enhances Fast Hybrid AF, which far surpasses conventional AF in comprehensiveness, speed and response. The 399 focal plane phase-detection AF points cover 45% of the image area — the most coverage among digital still cameras with full-frame image sensors. 25-point contrast-detection AF coverage is also included. This feature is great if you want to be able to shoot a small, fast moving object from a distance.

Higher-Resolution 4K Movie Recording

Footage from 4K movie recording featuring full pixel readout without pixel binning in the Super 35mm format exhibits higher resolution and superior clarity than typical 4K movies. Also, the XAVC S5 format allows 4K recording at 100 Mbps maximum bit rate to capture fine details of movement in movies. Great for anyone who wants to quickly and easily switch from still images to photo capture. The extreme high resolution images are ideal for any professional application.

The a7R II features Clean HDMI output. This function supports 4K and Full HD and allows uncompressed movie output to an external recorder or monitor. The image can also be recorded in the camera even while signals are output using this function. The included cable protector guards jacks and prevents cables from disengaging accidentally, so you can shoot with greater assurance.

5-Axis Image Stabilization

This stabilization system is fine-tuned for high-resolution image sensors to compensate accurately for five types of camera shake that can compromise handheld shooting of the camera's 42.4-megapixel images. Camera shake compensation is equivalent to using a 4.5-step faster shutter speed, allowing you to take advantage of a wider range of shutter speeds. This feature means it is much easier to shoot from a moving platform, or to shoot a long exposure when holding the camera in low light conditions.

Compatible with Wide-Ranging Mountable Lenses

The growing group of FE lenses (35mm full-frame compatible E-mount lenses)-all carefully developed to match full-frame image sensors employing increasing numbers of pixels-makes the most of the 42.4-megapixel high-resolution performance of the a7R II.
