Mark Galer tested the RX10m2 and writes:

For photographers who are looking for one camera that will do everything this could well be the one. My only reservation about recommending this camera to anyone would be for those photographers who take pleasure in collecting lenses. As one photographer put it “we date our cameras but marry our lenses”. Wise investment in good glass is never a waste of money and The RX10 II has some seriously good glass attached to it. It is only the permanent ‘attachment’ of the T* glass that one must consider before investing in the RX10 II. I would highly recommend this camera after these considerations have taken place.

Photographyblog also reviewed the camera and writes:

Ultimately, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 II is a great camera that’ll satisfy photographers of all abilities. It’s also a worthy successor to the original model and offers a much more accomplished shooting experience than typical small-sensor bridge cameras. Our only major gripe is the price hike over the original RX10, which is both significant and tough to justify next to the Panasonic FZ1000, its Leica V-Lux (Typ 114) sister camera, and the Canon PowerShot G3 X, which all pack a 1-inch sensor and more optical zoom for much less money.

Matt Granger shared his impressions on the new A7rII he used on his Bhutan trip. There are also a wish list for the future A7rIII or A9…just watch the video to hear them all!

On the video above Kai compares the Sony A7rII vs the Canon 5DSr. And for him the winner is the A7rII because “Sony is showing the way in terms of new technology” and it’s the “most exciting camera“.

The developer team of the new [shoplink 38429 ebay]Commlite Nikon G to Sony E-mount autofocus adapter[/shoplink] sent me those two new test videos.

They are still improving the performance and fixing the noise issue. The final version should be ready by end of this year and go on sale on [shoplink 38429 ebay]eBay (like their other adapters)[/shoplink]. Price is yet not clear but it should be about the same as their [shoplink 38430 ebay]Canon EF lenses on Sony E-mount autofocus adapter (Click here)[/shoplink].

The A7rII will soon get a firmware update with 14BIT uncompressed RAW and maybe some other additional feature. So most reviewers here below will have to rewrite some piece of their review :)

Amateurphotographer writes:

The A7S II looks like a fantastic camera that buckles the trend for cameras with increasingly high resolutions, and that is what many photographers have been asking for. They don’t want more and more pixels, they want a higher dynamic range and less noise.
The real test will come when we have a full working sample of the camera and can see exactly what the differences in image quality are between the two cameras. For videographers there is certainly a reason for the new camera, whilst professional wedding and event photographers will surely make a beeline towards the A7S II and its quieter shutter, faster focusing and image stabilisation.

Digitalcameraworld writes:

The ability to record 4K in-camera allows these users a bit more freedom plus the ability to travel lighter and work more discretely. Meanwhile the improvement in the AF and noise control will be widely appreciated.
Those looking for an ‘all-rounder’ camera are best off looking at the A7 II, or even the A7R II if they can stomach the cost, but the A7S and A7S II are intended to produce the best image quality.
The A7S really impressed when we tested it and the improvements brought by the A7S II should make it even more attractive.

As you know the [shoplink 38429 ebay]adapter company creator company Commlite[/shoplink] is developing the world’s first Nikon F to Sony E autofocus adapter. The very first version has been tested by Matt Granger and the performance was very bad.

But we have good news! Commlite added phase detection support on the latest version and released that video to show how much they improved the autofocus performance on the Sony A7rII:

They used the classic Nikon 50mm f/1.4 G lens ad I have to say it’s accurate and “ok fast” in bright light conditions! Nikon folks, your switch to Sony may just got a tiny bit easier! ;)
