New Sony A7II gets tested by TheCameraStoreTV guys and Luminous Landscape.

Share

Reminder: A7II will ship after tomorrow in USA. Preorder it here at Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama, SonyStore.

Chris and Jordan from TheCameraStoreTV tested the new Sony A7II. They also invited Canon photographer Kyle Marquardt to review the camera and you will have to watch the video to find out if a Canon PRO photographer can be…converted :)

Also Luminous Landscape got their hands on the A7II and writes:

Less than a week with a new camera isn’t enough for my kind of testing. But even such a short period of time has shown me that with the A7 MKII Sony has finally hit its stride in terms of refining the NEX / A7 design paradigm. The early mistakes of dreadful user interface and awkward controls is now mostly past, and instead the A7 MKII has emerged as one of the most usable mirrorless cameras on the market. The fact it is also smaller and lighter than some Micro Four Thirds and APS-C cameras while offering a much larger and in many cases higher resolution sensor just clinches the deal. With its IBIS the MKII will appeal to a great many users of third party lenses as well as Sony’s A series lenses via an adaptor such as the LA-EA4.

Zeiss “tweets” that there is no delay on Loxia 50mm shipment. It’s out of Stock because of the high demand!

Share

 

Carl Zeiss posted that tweet to deny that the Loxia 50mm lens could be out of Stock for the next months. And on Facebook Zeiss writes:

There are rumors out there stating that our Loxia 2/50 will be out of stock for months. Let us state that this is not true! While it is out of stock with some dealers at the moment due to high demand, we are constantly producing new batches and shipping them to distributors and dealers. So please, don’t worry!

Fact is that no EU and US stores has them in Stock now (and they were supposed to be in Stock back in October). So let’s hope the lens will indeed ship soon as promised by Zeiss. By the way, Thanks Zeiss for officially giving us an answer!
