Product details

Now your recordings offer even more quality. Sony's αR II is the world's first camera with a 42.4 megapixel back-exposed CMOS 35mm full frame sensor, adding a whole new dimension to image resolution, sensitivity
(up to ISO1024003) and fast response. The extremely dense and wide phase detection coverage of the fast hybrid AF system in the AF range focuses the subject sharply over the entire image range, while the 5-axis image stabilization reduces the blurring normally associated with hand-held shots. The high resolution is further optimized by the 4K video recording with full pixel reading without pixel binning. With so much power in a compact design, the naked eye can't keep up.

Higher resolution, sensitivity and readout speed. The world's first back-illuminated full-frame sensor with 42.4 megapixels, this CMOS sensor optimizes light sensitivity, expands the circuit scale and outputs data approximately 3.5 times faster4 using a copper wiring layer for fast transmission. The image noise is reduced to reproduce the smallest details in every shot.

Thanks to a number of innovative features, αR II can develop its full performance potential. The new 42.4 megapixel image sensor enables even more detailed images, and the camera works without optical low-pass filters, which could impair the high resolution. The newly developed vibration-reducing shutter mechanism and silent shooting mode minimize camera shake during shutter release and help to reduce image blur. With the ever-growing range of FE lenses, you can enjoy the excellent clarity that the sensor offers from every perspective.

To take full advantage of the αR II's high-resolution sensor - especially in action scenes or moving shots - the images should be as stable as possible, as even small camera shake can lead to blurred images. The 5-axis image stabilization system is precisely tuned to the 42.4 megapixel resolution of αR II and enables zoom, close-up and night shots with minimal camera shake for breathtakingly clear images.

Der Vollformatsensor der Alpha 7R II hat 42 Megapixel und damit doppelt so viele wie die Alpha 7 II. Und die bringen messerscharfe Ergebnisse. Der flotte Autofokus mit 399 Messfeldern ist zudem neuer Rekord, das Verschieben der Messpunkte ist jedoch etwas umständlich. Das Gehäuse liegt dank großem Griff gut in der Hand.

Vier Kameras, vier Konzepte, vier Sieger. Canon 5DSR und Nikon D810 sind herausragend mit rundum überzeugender Bildqualität für semiprofessionelle Anwender. Canon sammelt mehr Punkte bei der Bildqualität, während Nikon in der Ausstattung führt - etwas mit dem Blitz, der externe Geräte steuern kann...
