Yep... Sony does a good job and the camera is a super all-rounder... but....
The question is whether you need full frame... I mean the Fujifilm X-T2 has a very good ISO performance itself... a much better autofocus than the Sony and the images are so good in JPEG that you don't have to do much to them. Add to that the film effects Fuji has... they are awesome... say what you will about the integrated effects... Fuji's are GENIAL!
On top of that, the lenses are not necessarily cheap with Sony.
I myself have the A7RII and only have the 55mm and 90mm. If I didn't have these... I would probably have ended up with Fuji.
I don't see any big advantages of going full-frame anymore.

Hi Thinktwice, as far as I know there is no cashback on the kit, only on the battery grip and flash.
Yes, it is included.
It's a good kit but today I shoot more with the 28 mm fixed focal length lens with wide-angle attachment that I bought later. It's great for landscapes and rooms. Instead of the kit zoom lens, I would rather have a real telephoto lens to photograph animals, for example.
Product promotion, different suppliers and availability, supply and demand, etc.
Yes. It has a focusing ring. There are 2 rings on the lens. One zooming and one focusing. Camera has to be in manual mode to enable it.

Great, then you can take over some of your lenses. Just keep the crop factor in mind.
Coming back to the lens, I think the price-performance ratio is right. And yes, the kit lens of the I & II is the same.
Hello Serschan. I use a Lexar 64GB, 150MB/s. 150s are affordable (300s are in a different price range) and I wouldn't go below that now - it's worth it! Never had any problems - I'd buy it again.
Unfortunately, we don't know this in advance. But I'll keep my fingers crossed for you :-)
Are you sure it was the kit? The body itself costs this much: Sony Alpha a7 II Body (24MP, 5FPS, WLAN)
It depends on which Sigma lenses. Sigma now offers many lenses with E-mount, so the question is of course settled. Other lenses with SA or Canon can easily be connected with a converter (also from Sigma) (https://www.sigma-foto.de/objektive/mount-converter-mc-11/uebersicht/).
There is an adapter (FotodioX Lens Mount Adapter for Micro Four Third Lens to Sony E-Mount Camera).
but that makes little sense. The A7 series has a full-frame sensor and it is more than 3 times larger than the MFT sensor on an Olympus. There would be edge shading (vignetting). If you switch to full-frame, you would have to buy new lenses.

Simple explanation: supply and demand
I would go for the A6300. Full-frame is all well and good, but with today's technology you have to ask yourself whether you really need it. The AF should be a bit faster on the A6300.
But for sports and fast-moving images, I wouldn't use either of them... I'd rather buy a Fuji X-T2 for the money... Some of the lenses there are much cheaper and the quality of a Fuji can easily keep up with Sony.

The white adhesive strip is standard. I haven't had any protective film on the display, and neither has anyone I know who has bought an A7 II. The battery may be quite flat, but that doesn't mean that something is wrong. Everything sounds normal to me. Greetings
An ordinary cheap not really good kitzoom. The 7II is also very old from the end of 2014. I would definitely not buy it again. Yesterday this kit was on sale at Daydeal for CHF 799.
Yes you can attach this camera to the 200-600 mm lens like any other E-mount camera. However, the camera is almost six years old. The AF is not the fastest. So if you want to photograph animals in motion, sports or flying birds, this is the wrong camera. Then the successor Alpha 7 III would be more suitable.

You might find something on the fototrainer.com YouTube channel. Have you already looked there?
Sony just wants to get rid of the crappy kit lenses. Yes, it's the same camera.

And now? However, the T. company cannot deliver immediately. I wouldn't recommend the old A7II anyway. The sensor is from 2012 and comes from the Alpha 99. There are better ones now. The autofocus is also not the fastest.
I don't do astrophotography. I cannot answer this question.
I don't know your old camera, so I can't compare. I am quite satisfied with the Alpha 7 II. It is particularly suitable for landscapes. But there are better products. The display can't be turned away like with Canon. Ali Express has protective screens. I find the menu complicated. Nowadays I often use my mobile phone for landscapes. It's much lighter and takes great pictures. I've had the Alpha II since 2015, but I think the successor would be better.

Hello, has the memory card been used before with a Sony camera? If so: In this case, the new camera does not create a new image database and the frame counter simply continues to run.

On the one hand, this has to do with the special offers for the kit version and the much greater sales. I recently saw this kit version for 750 Fr. at Fust (including Sony cashback of 200Fr.).
The poorly sold body version cannot compete with these prices.
Go to the Sony homepage and have a look at the differences between the A7 (your link) and the A7 II (here you ask the question), they are 2 different cameras and listing everything here makes little sense.
The selling price was always based on the purchase price. Maybe they had worse conditions with the kit.

Hi Fedi, you have answered the question yourself. Basically, for full-frame cameras I wouldn't take anything below at least 90mb/s, because the file size of the images is simply too big.
