Is Sony A7R II a good camera?

The Sony A7R II is a great camera. It’s silent, and once programed, shoots fast. While it has slower handling than a DSLR and not my choice for serious work (it only has one card slot for instance), as a fun hobby camera, it’s awesome. Presuming you shoot it with the Sony ZEISS FE lenses, the system works great.

Buying an a7II on sale or used is an inexpensive way of getting a good full-frame, mirrorless camera. Quality E-mount lenses are worth the investment as they will transfer as you upgrade to newer Sony bodies. But at full price, the older version is not as attractive as the a7III or the a6600.

It has the amazing 24 MP Sony sensor, similar to what the Nikon D610 and D750 cameras feature, with superb dynamic range and excellent handling of noise at high ISOs.

Does the Sony a7r II have in-body image stabilization (IBIS)?

The A7R II has a totally revamped hybrid AF system with 399 on-sensor phase-detect AF points, which Sony claims to be up to 40\% faster compared to its predecessor.

Should the Sony a7r II have included the best AF system?

That’s surprising because the A7R II is primarily aimed at landscape, studio and architecture photographers who want to have more resolution and those folks rarely ever need the best of the breed AF system. In my opinion, it would have made more sense for Sony to include the best AF system on the A7 II instead.
