Very day full of news for Sony, which unveiled some of its flagship products for 2015. The most important is undoubtedly the mirrorless A7R II, the first full-frame in the world with a backlit sensor.
Like the previous model is focusing on the resolution, which reaches 42.2 MP, but was also expanded the range of sensitivity of two stops (now up to ISO 102,400). Do not miss the popular 5-axis stabilization on the sensor, here with 4.5 stop gain, but one of the elements most important changes is the use of focus for phase detection for greater speed.
The video recording reaches 4K 30/25/24 fps format XAVC S, which may be obtained either by exploiting all the sensor with which a crop of a size equivalent to Super35 (crop factor 1.8x). To make the most of 42.3 MP and reduce vibration during shooting, it has been inserted the electronic first curtain, an element that had revealed a lack of important first A7R when using telephoto lenses.

The new sensor from 20.1 MP Exmor RS is a generation ahead to the old BSI and thanks to a division of air-sensitive than those of the circuits, maximizes the space portion that receives the light.
The objective is the same Zeiss 24-70mm f / 1.8-2.8, while the use of a DRAM memory dedicated to the sensor has granted to increase the speed of reading of the information, obtaining a burst in well 16fps (upper even the SLR flagship) and a minimum shutter speed of 1/32000 sec.
Among those changes was the recording 4K video codec with high-quality XAVC S and the chance to do slow motion up to 960 fps (obviously not in 4K). The last element of improvement over the Mark III is the electronic viewfinder, which passes 144,000,000 to 235,000,000 points, resulting in more accurate and rapid refresh.
