Sony Alpha ILCE-7M2 Kit

Advantages: Full frame.
Versatility.
Built-in wireless modules
Control from smartphones and tablets
Great viewfinder
Stabilizer.
Comfortable and thoughtful ergonomics.
The quality of shooting.
Wide opportunities for the installation of a variety of manual glass.

Disadvantages: I did not like the fact that the kit does not include a flash or an adapter to the Minoltovsky shoe.
Few native autofocus lenses under the full frame, and third-party manufacturers are not in a hurry to produce.
The complete whale is not very clear throughout the field and a little vignette at a wide angle.
In the branded store of plug-ins, most add-ons are paid, in my opinion this is not correct.
In shutdown mode, the battery is discharged, although the camera is turned off, it seems like it takes about 10% of the charge per day.
Complete battery discharges very quickly - you need to immediately buy the 2nd.

Comment: I switched to this camera from the m4 / 3 bayonet, before that I used nex3. The camera shoots just fine, it has become much more convenient to work with manual optics - the built-in stabilizer matrix helps a lot. Now on the old Japanese telephoto can be removed from the hands.I bought a Zeiss 35mm lens and a bright Minoltu with an adapter, an additional flash. set of battery and charger. I recommend a great camera for any kind of shooting and any level of photo equipment! Just buy 1-2 batteries at once, otherwise the shooting will not be long.

Advantages: FULL frame, body materials, an intuitive interface, an electronic viewfinder, more resource than on mirrors.

Disadvantages: Battery capacity, the price of optics.

Comment: I bought my brand 3 as a replacement. At first it was unusual, but when I figured it out, I regretted not having bought the system camera long before the brand. Due to the work, sometimes it is necessary to change 2-3 mirrors for the year. but judging by their performance and reviews, the system resource beats off longer. While I like everything, I advise everyone.

Advantages: Before that, there was sony A77 (krop). After the transition to full frame, I was pleased with the image quality, the amazing quality of the body, the small size compared with the A77 was very pleased. Like the image stabilizer (and there are 5 axes). The ergonomic case, sits well in the hand, comfortable and quick settings. In a dark room and in the evening it takes off just fine.

Disadvantages: I shoot quite often and at a time a lot of shots. Pick up an extra battery could increase and up to 2000 mile amperes. Objectives are certainly not cheap, but they are worth the money to make great shots on this device.

Comment: I bought it in October, chose between sony A7m2 and Canon 5d mark 3. When I saw the difference in the pictures, I immediately realized that I had to take A7m2.Canon 5d mark 3 at that time was more expensive and without a lens. Very convenient manual settings are made immediately to see the image that will be in the photo as a result. At high iso there is no noise, in my opinion it works perfectly on the iso 5200. As for the video, what can I say in my old sony A77 it was not possible to adjust the additional settings. Compared to my previous sony A77 it's just a fairy tale .. !!!

Advantages: Mode dial, Quick Menu, PlayMemories Apps Store, Camera Charging, NFC.

Disadvantages: Screen, battery capacity.

Comment: Good day!
The camera was bought as a gift to his wife, for taking pictures on vacation and in nature. I already had experience with SLR cameras, I chose competently.
I immediately liked that the Sony a7m2 is very comfortable in the hand, unlike many cameras from other brands that we managed to compare at the time of purchase.
There are no unnecessary modes on the wheel of selection of shooting modes. There is a quick menu that can be customized for you. An additional advantage in general of all Sony system cameras is Playmemories Apps, an app store, there is an app for Timelaps. It turns out a real masterpiece!). I also liked how the camera is charging, directly through the microUSB cable, which definitely helps out when traveling, it will be possible to charge it with portable chargers.
The camera instantly focuses, and without a miss. Photos turn out bright without additional processing.
The Wi-fi function has not yet been tested.
I did not like the fact that the pivoting screen does not open like a book, it can only be tilted up or down. I was embarrassed by a small battery, so I immediately purchased a spare one. But these are trifles, and my cavils, which do not affect the excellent quality of the photos.
Spouse was very pleased with his gift! =)
Thank!

Advantages: Full frame, image quality, excellent workmanship, small size. After big and thick DSLRs, this is one of the main advantages of the system in general.

Disadvantages: It would be possible to call the battery, but for a whole shooting day on the journey - enough. And the extra battery in the bag allows you to not worry at all.

Comment: After years of using Crop mirrors. I started with the very first DSLR that was on the market. And after the film camera, of course, I did not feel satisfaction.Crop was bad for everything that flowed from it - a small viewfinder, dark lenses, the crop factor itself. It was possible to shoot, but there was no pleasure like film cameras. After buying the Sony a7 ii, the pleasure is back in full. The electronic viewfinder, which he “feared” not seeing in real life, turned out to be just a great solution. In general - I recommend!

Advantages: Like the image stabilizer (and there is a 5-axis). When moving excellent shots, clear. Beautiful, bright, juicy colors. Small, compact, lightweight (convenient to take with you and do not get tired hand from long shooting). Ergonomic body, sits well in the hand.

Disadvantages: I shoot very often and at once a lot of shots. Pick up an extra battery.

Comment: Very pleased with the purchase. Thanks to the girl (Mary), who advised me this model. More such specialists.

Advantages: 1) does not burden with its dimensions
2) can be charged from powerbank via USB
3) fast focusing with a whale lens in good light

Disadvantages: I consider it a weak point to focus in the dark with a whale lens

Comment: I bought it in Augusta, it used to be a Nikon DSLR, but it was already a bit old, without the possibility of recording video, and I wanted something much better with slow focusing, but again there was no point in buying a photographing brick.
I noticed a Sony a7s at a familiar videographer, after his camera reviews I decided to take an a7m2 for myself, about the complete lens - it’s quite decent as a hiking option fit, I plan to purchase a portrait painter.

Advantages: electronic viewfinder, full-frame price, compact

Disadvantages: battery capacity is decided by buying spare batteries

Comment: I bought it in April, choosing between sony A7 m2 and Canon 5d mark 3. When I saw the picture in the electronic viewfinder, I immediately decided on a choice. It is very convenient when making manual settings to immediately see the image that will be in the photo. In addition, in people of my age, when glasses are already required for reading, to consider the details of the pictures in the camera monitor after each release of the shutter is associated with the inconvenience of wearing glasses. And here the viewfinder is adjusted according to your vision and after pressing the button without taking your eyes off the viewfinder you see the finished picture on the same scale as when shooting with the ability to look at all the details and not closing from the sun, as in SLR cameras. It is possible to customize the buttons at will, but every time I make sure how everything is conveniently configured by the manufacturer. I liked the camera so much that I bought it in June
Sony A7 s birthday son, because it has more features on the video that it needs. We are waiting for new optics.

Advantages: Excellent picture quality: DD wide
OLED viewfinder with cool resolution
Fast focus (especially with Zeiss Glass)
Built-in stub (by the way it works with non-native lenses through an adapter)
Transfer photos via WiFi
Cool video + Slog2 (like on A7S :))
Pleasant body material

Disadvantages: Battery - this is understandable fee for compactness.
A little wound menu, although the most needed functions are hung on the hot keys without any problems.
Included is only one charge through the camera ... And how to charge other batteries, if the camera needs to be removed? ... (this is probably the most annoying nuance)

Comment: The camera is cool in terms of photo quality is completely satisfied.
The stabilizer copes with its task perfectly well - I tried to shoot a zeiss 35 mm F2.8 with an exposure of 1/8 it turns out clearly !!! :))) This is very pleased! In addition, high quality video and even with S-log2. The quality of the case lies in the hand like a gun. ;)

But the cant with charging is a bummer. Although ebay to help, already on the soars.
I would like low glasses for this camera - I agree that the quality will be worse than Zeiss, but Canon and Nikon have it ... It would be cool to have a budget option of 85 mm F1.8
