Sony recently announced the arrival of the new A7S II, the successor to the A7S, which had redefined low-light photography, through its High-ISO performance capability. The A7S II kept the majority of its high-end specs, only upgrading some key aspects that the A7S lacked.
The A7S II possesses an upgraded internal 4K30 recording capability, with a full-sensor readout without any touch of pixel pinning. Recording performance is also upgraded, with its 120fps, 1080p recording at a speedy 100Mbps with full-sensor readout. Several elements found on the A7 and A7R are also featured in the A7S II line of specs, one in particular is the 5-axis internal image stabilization feature, which primarily means that images shot using an unsupported lens will still possess image stabilization capability.
There is also a 169 point fast autofocus system, which improves shooting speed and accuracy. the A7s II also has the XGA OLED Tru-finder feature, which is considerably the world’s highest 0.78x viewfinder magnification, with measurements up to 38.5 degrees of diagonal field of view.
