Much has been made of the A7RII, by Sony and industry commentators … Those who buy it because they need a very small camera with 4k video, stabilisation and support for adapted lenses will be happy… those who get it and are happy with it will rate it in its own terms and not because it might have some equivalency in performance with certain DSLRs.

A contender? Sony A7 II

Some people might be surprised that I have a NEX-7 lurking in my camera cupboard. I do, though I will admit it doesn’t see a lot of daylight. My first foray into CSCs was a NEX 5 about 18 months-2 years ago. I liked the image quality but hated the lack of controls, which ultimately …
