Questions about Sony Alpha 7 II

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.

Unfortunately, we in the community cannot answer such a question. The questions, answers and discussions should explicitly refer to the products and their function.

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.

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.

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.

unfortunately no

Yes, there is right now ;-)

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. Tool for reading out the camera releases: http://tools.science.si/

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.

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.

One SD card slot.

You can't say that across the board, because one camera is full-frame and the other is APS-C... Then you also have a certain price difference... Then it depends on what you intend to do with it... What your requirements are... Google: https://www.google.com/search?q=a7ii+or+a6300

yes you are correct. Without money you won’t get it
