New Sony A7rII tests roundup.
Reminder: A7rII in Stock and shipping worldwide at Digitalrev. Germans have gold box deals on Sandisk card.
LeButler on SonyAlphaForum posted the lust of pros and cons when using silent shutter mode:
Negatives:
-RAWs reduced to 12 bit (reduces dynamic range, though not noticeable in the majority of shots)
-Dark banding across the image under artificial light at certain shutter speeds (which are unpredictable, can avoid completely changing shutter speed)
-Expanded ISO modes not available
-No flash triggeringPositives:
+Silent
+Reduces shot-taking lag to virtually zero
+Less vibration = potentially sharper shots
+Nice little haptic feedback remains when taking a shot (on A7Rii)
+Presumably uses marginally less battery
+Presumably extends body lifetime
Our Sony A7R II and RX10 II hands-on previews continue (Imaging Resource).
How about collecting the information of adapter performance on A7Rii? (SonyAlphaForum).

Christian: “A strange image artifact with dotted lines: http://fotoschule.westbild.de/2015/08/erste-eindruecke-sony-a7rii/“
Kevin: “I’m leaving a series of Instagram (@kevinrwhitley) videos over my initial impressions with the A7R II. These can also be found on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/kevin.r.whitley. The main difference between these and other reviews is I’m highlighting some of the not-so-great aspects of it that other reviewers seem to be ignoring. Overall still positive, but just some issues for users to be aware of (e.g. grip issues).”
Chris: “Andrea, there’s an easy fix for the long exposure noise, its something Sony cameras do internally every 30 days. Here’s a thread discussing it: http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1380165”
