The Sony Alpha 7S II full-frame mirrorless camera excels at 4K video and high ISO imaging, but it's priced at a premium.

Full-frame 4K video recording. Incredible high ISO image quality. 5fps burst shooting. In-body image stabilization. Hinged rear display. Sharp EVF. Dust- and moisture-resistant design.

Expensive. 12-megapixel resolution can be limiting. Omits PC sync socket. Overly sensitive eye sensor. No built-in flash.
The only thing really missing from the A7S II compared to Sony's professional large sensor video cameras is built-in neutral density filters. As with other video SLRs/CSCs you will need to add a neutral density filter to your lens so you can use wide apertures for shallow depth of field while keep...

Super-high ISO ISO 409,600 maximum, Internal 4K video recording, AF system good in low light

Video record button not ideally placed, Expensive and specialist, 8-bit rather than 10 or 12-bit video
We got some early hands-on time with the Sony A7S II last night, a full frame, mirrorless camera we have dubbed “the master of the dark arts” for its impressive low light shooting prowess.
It was only 45 days ago when Sony held their last press event in Portland, Oregon to announce the release of the Sony a7r II and to give us the opportunity to shoot with it. We subsequently published a review of the Sony a7r II and how Sony listened to its customers and evolved the camera from its...
Sony updates its video and low-light Alpha 7-series CSC with internal 4K recording, better noise control and improved autofocusing. Find out our head of testing’s first impressions in her Sony A7S II hands-on review.
I don't know that a more capable videography/photography device exists in this size. The a7S is back with everything the first generation was missing (I had one). This is the ultimate low-light shooter for video and photography.

Internal recording codec could be better Menus still mostly suck Limited system lenses 12MP limits post-processing options
Really the only choice for poor/low light Video or shooting stills in the dark. Very clean at ISO 6400+ New 1080P120 is exceptionally even with internal codec. Very smooth and detailed. It can keep up with most action. Also good for slow motion that I do not use.
