Sony has announced the a7R II, a 42.4MP mirrorless camera with an image stabilized full-frame BSI CMOS sensor. Unlike its predecessor, the camera includes on-sensor phase detection elements for faster autofocus, which continues to work with other brands' lenses. The camera also has a revised shutter mechanism, rated to 500,000 actuations but also promising less vibration than the one on its predecessor. The sensor is by far the largest backside illuminated CMOS chip to be released, allowing the maximum expanded ISO to rise two stops to 102,400.

Price wise RM12,000 RP.. Watlau

yeah, mirrorless getting better & better. DSLR might obsolete in near future

This one is a killer

sweet spot , compete focus speed with other mount lens compare with the lens on its original mount body XD

And most importantly light suitable for traveling

Dont know how is the quality =D~ wish to get it hehe.
If this using lens converter to Nikon lens will reduce picture quality or focusing speed?

not too sure hv to wait for the review when Sony release it. Should be no prob on quality with converter

from this video this it seems like the a7r ii focus quite fast. even the reviewer did mention it supports Continous AF with Metabone adapter

Metabone toooooo expensive @@"

The camera also has a revised shutter mechanism, rated to 500,000 actuations....

if u use silent shutter mode (digital shutter)... means the shutter actuation may never even hit 100count.... @.@

like my A7s,..... i have shot over 100k photo... but i think i only did around 50 shutter actuation for testing purpose when i was buying it...

why do you use digital shutter over mech shutter?

anyone know when this start selling? =D~

ZERO sound. Great for indoor quiet events; weddings, orchestra, stage plays
Vitually zero sutter caused vibrations.

Should be in Aug

http://www.gospelherald.com/articles/56034...ing-sensors.htm

many reason,
sony first came out with front digital shutter to cope with TTL readout shutter delay... (hard to explain)
then they improve it that the A99 has the shortest shutter lag.
then on A7s, its virtually No Sound.... so u can become the world best ninja paparazi... since a7s is for paparazi to ninja superstar from the shadow...

but we dont compare with digital shutter from 5 years back... today tech has moved forward so much, its actually become more advantage and advance then mech shutter. not to mention the possible of over 30fps thanks to digital shutter. mechanical shutter has pushed it limit at 14fps already, i doubt the possibility to hit 30fps.
