Sony A7R II Hands-On Field Test Part 1 With Kyle Marquardt

Ғылым және технология

The Sony A7R II looksa monster of a camera, with 42 MP, built in OIS and incredible dynamic range. Can the actual camera live up to the hype?
In part 1 of our review, Chris Niccolls and Kyle Marquardt (www.kylefoto.com) take out the A7R II and a Canon 5DSR to see if mirrorless is now a viable option for pros with Canon glass. Also, a photo shootout!

    I have Sony A7RII for a month! It is a fantastic camera. I work both - as a photographer and a film maker and this camera is just the best for both things at the same time. Must say didn't have ANY PROBLEMS with overheating! After 30mins non stop camera hardly gets warm. All of this is bullshit. Also its funny to see GH4 users spaming under every A7Rii video, cause they know that the GH4 that they have is now just a middle class camera with internal 4k.

    As a Canon wedding shooter (5DSR, 5D3, 7D2) and now also a A7R2 owner, I want to say I completely agree with this entire video. The one thing that was mentioned but I don't think emphasized enough, was that with the recent MB software updates (still not perfect for sure), the 2 best features about this camera are IBIS for Canon lenses like the 85L & 135L where you can consistently get tack sharp images at 1/20th versus as was pointed out on your video crazy high SS required on the 5DSR when the lens does not have IS. The second amazing feature of this camera - and probably my favourite is Silent Mode - it is amazing from a wedding perspective - amazing. My wife is a well known wedding officiant here in Toronto and after I bought this camera, and with some recent obnoxiously loud 1Dx cameras in her couples faces during the ceremony machine gunning it, she has decided that she will not do any further wedding or allow the photog to use a 1Dx during the ceremony - or she will not do the wedding. Silent shooting + IBIS for fast primes (85L & 135L), never mind my 24-70 F2.8 II Canon which now lives on the camera has made me a believer. You are spot on on the Continuous Focus stuff and tracking - just doesn't work with the target moving at you from close distances - I actually think it is almost a battery thing that can't drive the focus motor motor fast enough. I have put my 5D3s / R and 7D2 away for anything personal now and use the Sony. 7D2 for sports and birding, 5DSR for flash bridal portrait stuff, 5D3 for main wedding camera body - but the A7R2 has joined the game for the quiet ceremony and non flash prime portraits.

    It's interesting that Kyle and so many other pros that I know are still really happy with their Canon 5DIII as their primary camera. 22 megapixels is plenty for their work, and they see no reason to either move up to the 5DSR or switch to another brand. I was reading between the lines a bit on Kyle, but his comments lead me to that conclusion. Stay with what you know, and especially something that you think is bulletproof for your client work.

    +filmkid541 Exactly, Some ultra high res stuff I can shoot in panorama and easily get hundreds of megapixels. They key with photography business is now when sending estimates I include an option for "Ultra large format" and list the megapixels for that option verses "high resolution". Then charge more for the high res option where I would rent the 5DSR for. Everyone checks the DPI for the project they are doing (including billboards) and says "nope we don't need that, 20 megapixels is fine" and saves me time and them money. For now, the commercial market I'm surrounded in just doesn't care about ultra high res. I did the same thing moving from 12 megapixel images to 20, but the mark II and III were so good I couldn't not shoot on them.

    I agree with everybody's opinion about using native glass for these comparisons. Part of our reasoning for using Canon glass and adapters was due to the duel between Kyle and myself. By using the exact same lenses we could eliminate that as a variance. However one could also argue that fighting each system against each other could be done with their own respective systems of glass. I will say however that Jordan and I tested the A7R mk2 afterwards with sony lenses and the hit rate is incredible. Using eye detect works flawlessly and although other cameras are quicker, the Sony would always hit on focus. So another point for Sony. Funny though but I actually have a soft spot for the 5DSR. I don't think it's high Megapixel count is that practical but the files are beautiful and it handles wonderfully as always. I really enjoyed the photos I got from it. Chris @ TCSTV

    Since I got to play a bit with the A7R II I would like to add 2 things1.I found in lower light it tends to hunt especially compared to my Nikon D7502.You guys recommended if you don't have lenses from previous system then you can go for the Sony A7R II, what I think you forgot to mention which is extremely important for many people is the lack of 24-70mm 2.8 and 70-200mm 2.8 Sony lenses.For me without these native lenses I will never jump ship to Sony.If Sony want to get Canon and Nikon shooters they need to make these very important lenses.Overall from the short time I used the A7R II I was very impressed with it but for me its still not good overall system to move too, maybe in few more years but not yet.Thank you for a good review.

For that I'll use sony native lenses.

Was hoping the AF would blow you away and would seal the deal for me to pick one up but I guess I should wait a little longer and see what firmware updates reveal. Chris when you talked about low resolution RAW, what about the crop mode (ignoring the obvious crop factor). Personally this camera just missed the mark for me to replace the 1Dx, I was hoping it would have a faster FPS in crop mode with the smaller image files to help speed up the processing.

    Thank you for the review. Excellent as always. I wanted to note that when using the a7rII with the LA-EA3 adapter, only SSM ( and I believe SAM) lenses will auto-focus for stills. Any of the "old school" lenses that do not have the build in motor will require the LA-EA4 adapter. The same applies for auto-focus in video mode. I have not been able to to get auto-focus to work in video mode with the LA-EA3 adapter, but it works with the LA-EA4 using the same lens (significantly slower that native lenses though). Phase detection is the only focus method that works when using the LA-EA3 adpater for stills. I also own the A mount Tamron 90mm Macro and Sigma 85mm 1.4 which are both excellent lenses and focus perfectly using both adapters. (no face detection or eye detection). The cost and image quality of these two lenses with the A7RII far outweigh the enhanced auto-focus features that are available with native lenses. I was able to purchase both in excellent condition for the less that the cost of a new FE 70-200 f/4. Lastly, the non-oem battery grip that I purchased for the A7II fits the A7RII, but makes that camera go completely bananas.... As though I'm pushing a bunch of buttons at once. ( i know, I know... I need to stop being cheap and buy OEM) Thanks for reading

    In a period of two years 2013-2015 Sony introduced six full frame e-mount mirrorless cameras. Two generations of a7 cameras. Sony was very committed to the launch APS-C e-mount cameras during 2010-2012 with multiple models. Sony continued the same practice with the full frame e-mount cameras during 2013-2015. After the 2013 the introduction of new APS-C e-mount cameras was less frequent and after 2016 the introduction of new full frame e-mount camera was less frequent too. After 2016 Sony was committed to the introduction of a plethora of full frame e-mount lenses in order to compete with the amazing variety of full frame autofocus EF mount and F mount lenses.

Golden rule; hire a camera before you buy, it could save you a lot of money and disappointment.

Because when I started with A7RII, I had gotten similar results, when I had my child run toward me. However, after practicing for couple days, I found that with right settings, which in my case were: Preview - Off, CAF, medium size small square, I was able to nail every shot in focus with 17-40L at F4 in a series. I think turning off preview was the key in my case. Just asking if you tried different settings.

    Most honest conclusion for the comparison. I have both, and I am pretty disappointed in having the 7R2 for out of studio shooting. But perhaps it will work for travel. But I luckily got it for the hi res sensor and studio work. And that saves it. Otherwise, don't let the sensor fool you into thinking its a camera first, then all the cool features of an electronic device...because it is the opposite.

To date, beyond that or cost, the main complaints have been power, lack of touch screen, 4K heat dissipation , 29 min video time out and the HDMI port... My personal issue lays with lens choice and selection. What would be the best bang for buck all round 2 or 3 lenses to think about for the Sony? PS when do you think Sony will lower their prices?

I would like to know is EVF any better than previous models from Sony/Olympus/Panasonic/Fujifilm: 1. Lag - is it better with lag or not? Can you pass underground garage test of running between cars and columns and try not to hit anything while looking just through EVF :-) ? 2. Noise in very low light situation for manual focus with focus peaking is unacceptable on previous models. Is it better or not? 3. Colors are off even in a good light conditions, in low light EVF has a lot of color noise and should be turned to BW mode to help focus peaking. Are colors/color noise correction with EVF better or not?

    Why would you guys even place that much time and energy on testing and talking about non-native lenses and then judge the camera based on how those lenses perform? You should be talking about how the camera performs with the best of its native lenses as the main focus, and then the non-native lenses should only be a secondary focus after the native lenses and not such a big part of the review. I think it's really unfair to judge this camera by how non-native lenses work with it. The ability to use non-native lenses is an extra-bonus/icing on the cake, and also, some of the more advanced features of the camera aren't even available with non-native lenses anyway (such as eye-AF, continuous AF during video recording).

    +MrFed1994 The second AF test at 15:16 was using native glass, and the 5DSR still performed slightly better. We emphasized the adapted lenses because I heard from tons of photographers looking to grab an A7R II if the AF performance was really good with adapted lenses. I also felt there were a lack of tests of this in other video reviews. Chris and I talk more about AF performance with native glass in part 2. Stay tuned! Jordan @ TCSTV

    Good perspective on this clip - I took it as for the majority of high end camera users who probably own good collections of Nikon / Canon lenses already and are not married the Sony brand but thinking of trying it out. Their complaints are often "Sony doesn't make good lenses" - then simply reviewing this camera with "bad" Sony lenses wouldn't be something they are looking for. $3000 camera, the top of Sony brand, can't be that bad regardless of what Sony lenses are used, I would think?

    Excellent review and I totally understand why you used Canon lenses for comparison's sake. However maybe later it would be nice to see this camera reviewed with some of the excellent Sony/Zeiss glass available to see how the camera truly performs and what you make of it.

    About the reduced resolution raw option you guys mentioned: Raw is the dump of data on sensor, a lower resolution raw means cropping. If there is a reduced size resolution, that means the "raw" has been calculated and processed, and that's not raw, since it has been interpreted. See Red Dragon 6k cameras as example, notice the resolution drop on the raw, it keeps the horizontal resolution but crops the extra vertical resolution, because field of view is so much more important, to reduce the resolution, the only way is to crop away lines and pixels! Also, Blackmagic 4.6k Camera raw, notice there is no UHD ,HD raw option? because Raw doesn't work that way! You may say the those are all video camera! It doesn't matter, RAW files work the same, only in video cameras, they are only continuous raw frames put into a container, if you pick out one of the frames, it will still work as a individual image

    Thanks guys! That Super35 crop mode looked insanely good. I can't wait for the video-centric part of the review, and I hope maybe some mention is given to where the pros and cons are comparing the a7Rii to the FS7 for low-end professional video production, even though they are apples and oranges. On that note Jordan, if you're ready to comment on this topic, do you think you'll be grabbing the a7Rii when you run out to film a project, or will it pretty much be the FS7 (or something else)? I put the most stock in looking at what piece of equipment a person actually grabs when he's going out to do a project as an indicator of what is truly good stuff.

    "insanly good"? I don't feel it :) If you just do video than the FS7 is the much better but also more expensive choice (not really if you add an external recorder, a rig and ND filters to the A7rii). The FS7 has much better internal rec. (10bit 422 XAVC Intra 600Mb/s). It's even better than what the A7rii can output. FS7 has less rolling shutter. Slog.3 and Sgamut3.cine (better color). 4K DCI instead of UHD. Higher frame rates. The ability to record up to 12bit RAW via additional modules. Much more codecs available. Simultaneous recording. More professional connections such as XLR for audio. Better ergonomics. internal NDs. handy features such as internal LUT screening (much easier to shoot with Log) If you want a proper video camera with those features but are happy with the IQ you see in this video than the FS5 could be interesting to you. If you want FF or extreme low-light performance than the a7sii (or A7S with recorder) is the thing.

    @TCSTVJordan @TCSTVChris Part 1 of the Sony A7R II was great. One thing no one really talks about is what's is the point having a smaller and lighter camera when you still have to strap huge heavy lenses on it. Especially a camera like this that really needs excellent glass to shine. It's less balanced and feels terrible in the hand when shooting for a full day. Until the lenses get smaller and more compact I don't see what the big deal is with mirrorless and particularly this camera.

    Thanks a lot! I've been waiting for your review. Just one thing. I would have preferred one video (the main review) just being Chris and Jordan...and then having a second video which is labeled "Sony A7rII VS Canon 5Dsr" after that. These two parts didn't quite fit well together. Also, I just don't like Kyle being a part of the review, and I think you guys are best left to yourselves (or you can bring in extra people only in videos that are not reviews...like less serious stuff). I feel that this could have been split into two videos with the first being the full review and the second being the comparison, or this could have been 3 videos with the first being the photo review, the second being the video review, and then a comparison video coming after that. Just my two cents. Anyway, I am really excited for Jordan's upcoming video!

    I tried the Sony for a couple of days. The tedious menu system, the size of the camera, the autofocus, even with native glass - the for me bad ergonomics and flimsy contacts - are all reasons that I will stay with my new Canon 5dsr and my old 5D3. Would I like the better dynamic range - sure - but good metering and knowing your craft will take you a long way. And Chris, bring an angle-finder with you next time you want to get down and low - its robust and much better than a tilt screen - especially in day light. As always your review was good - thanks

    As a Nikon D810 and 16-35mm owner, shooting primarily landscape and now a lot of real estate, I'm really interested on what to do. The cost of the lens and filter system for a 14-24 is substantial. Moreover, I feel the Canon 17mm is better for architecture than both the 16-35 or 14-24, however losing 1 or 3mm on the wide end. Since most of my work is manual focus, the auto focus isn't a huge concern. Additionally I have MF Zeiss lenses that require live view for critical focusing on the D810 because the VF I don't personally find reliable enough. TCS, do you guys have any comments or suggestions for this situation?

    Excellent review, I'm currently looking at adding to my cameras and changing my video cams (Panasonic). I love my photography, but I also shoot video. Currently using Nikon, I'm not exactly married to Nikon but have a lot of beautiful vintage glass which I have no intention of giving up, so I will keep my Nikon 7100. However I was lookinbg for a FF camera that shoots class video maybe also 4K wouldn't go amiss and of course class photo and I think this could be it ! Wonder if Vintage Nikon glass is compatible and how it performs although I'm not too bothered about AF and fast AF being as I use it very little. I'd love to know your opinions on that ! Thanks for the info and looking forward to part II Have a great day Rem

    Chris seems to forget that Sony has a chance to make things right for today's needs based on today's technology. A-mount cameras offer most of the benefits seen on mirrorless that so many people praises. Live-view EVF? Got it. Rotating-tilting screen? Got it. Fast and reliable AF? Got it. Bigger battery? Got it. Not everything needs to be small and not everyone is confortable with compact mirrorless and it's obvious Chris isn't keen on SLR-style bodies. But the main issue here is that Sony neglects their chance of bringing a tool that could do everything people wants. Sony only needs to bring the 42Mpx, 5-axis Stabilization, Dual AF System (with PDAFOS and dedicated PDAF module) and put everything in a a99 style body, and you end up with a Canon/Nikon Killer. Even with the pellicle mirror, it would perform better than 5DSR. It is almost as if Sony and a7Rm2 reviewers wants people to forget about A-mount.

    I'd like to see all aspects of the a7rii's autofocus system tested, i.e., the facial recognition, facial registration, and eye focus. Those could all be great assets for an event photographer and actually make the a7rii's autofocus system a better choice in those environments. Just shooting it like a Canon gives one result, but how about exploring all the Sony's capabilities? Or, are you ignoring them because Canon doesn't have them, or you aren't yet comfortable enough with the Sony to try them out?

    That's great Jordan. Also, it'd be nice to see a autofocus speed comparison with native glass, as well as the pdaf-enabled metabones adaptor/speedbooster for the canon lens. That way, we'll see what's really what, and also know how the nuanced features of the A7Rii work (some cars are dragsters, some are rally racers and we have to acknowledge the differences and strengths).
