The recently announced Sony A7R II camera features newly developed Hybrid CMOS AF sensor fabricated with 399 Phase AF points that let you achieve focus quickly even when used with third party lenses…Take a look at the specification of review of both the camera,
Major Difference
Sony Alpha 7R II vs. Sony Alpha 7R Specification Comparison Table.
.Megapixels: –
Let’s start with the resolution of both the camera, there is no much difference in the resolution between them but SonyA7R II has comparatively a bit more resolution than its predecessor Sony A7R.
Sony A7R II is based on the world’s first back-illuminated full-frame sensor 42.4 MP Exmor R BSI CMOS Sensor and No optical low pass filter inside it gives you vast amounts of details when used with recommended set of lenses. Sony A7R is limited to 36.4MP Exmor CMOS Sensor with No Optical Low Pass Filter .
Both the cameras have used the similar Exmor R CMOS sensor but Sony A7R II has followed the BSI (back-illuminated) technology which increased the ISO range from 25600 to 102400 . Hence the presence of BSI technology and bit high resolution in Sony A7R II makes it superior to Sony A7R.
Image Stabilization:-
Sony A7R II is packed with a 5-axis SteadyShot INSIDE image stabilization system. Such type of system provides the solution for five types of camera shake during shooting of still images and videos. Due to the presence of this system the users can use any lens, even adapted lenses, for imagery without facing any problems due to camera shake. This system offers about 4.5 stops of shutter speed during shooting different varieties of subjects.
It’s all the 5 axis of stabilization system runs every time, even if the users used with third –party lenses and adapters.
There is no presence of Image Stabilisation in Sony A7R.
Hence presence of Image Stabilization in Sony A7R II makes it superior to Sony A7R because it compensates in real time for shaking and vibrating while recording the subjects.
AF System: –
Sony a7RII uses Fast Hybrid AF with 399 Phase-Detect Points with 45% coverage along with 25 contrast-detect AF points, due to this it became the world’s first full frame mirrorless camera with highest AF points. The Hybrid AF sensor and Bionz X image processor increases the speed, accuracy and tracking performance of the system. It offers faster readout which is due to the presence of the back-illuminated sensor structure and it also allows for tracking while shooting at the top continuous shooting rate of 5 fps. It also allows Lock-on AF tracking that release more information from the scene which helps in the improvement of accurate and stable imaginary.
But Sony A7R uses new Fast Intelligent AF system which has only 25 contrasts-detect AF points which is optimized for the full-frame sensor including flexible spot focus areas in addition to multipoint, center-weighted, and zone focusing.
Due to the presence of advanced AF System and more AF points in Sony A7RII, it make it totally different and superior to its predecessor.
ISO Range:-
The Sony A7R II has more ISO Range of 50-102400 due to the presence of BSI technology, which helps it to capture the object in dim light, provide high level of low-noise performance and dynamic range, which makes it superior to its predecessor Sony A7R and hence due to low ISO range Sony A7R provides low image quality.
Video:-
The a7RII is the first full-frame camera to offer internal UHD 4K video recording at 30 or 24 fps, Sony A7R was limited to 4K recording only.
Additionally, the A7R II camera can record videos by using 399 Phase AF points, its a great advantage that a you can use fast Phase detect AF instead of slow and sluggish contrast detect AF.
Other difference – The other major difference we have spotted is price, the Sony A7R available at $1,898.00 and the Sony A7R II camera available at $3,198.00.
Verdict: The Sony A7R II specification is far better than its predecessor, you get high sensitivity CMOS sensor with 399 Hybrid Phase AF points and a option to record 4K videos.
Sony A7R II is finally available for pre-order at Amazon and B&H
According to an interview published at Thibault Roland website Top engineer working on the A7R II development said that…
We were confirmed that AF of Canon lenses was “much faster than before. With adapters (and in particular with a firmware updated Metabones Mark IV) Canon lenses are almost as fast as on a Canon body“. Read the full interview
That clearly show the Sony A7R II camera was intentionally built to make a space among Canon users, I appreciate this strategy and I also hope Samsung should follow the same path with its upcoming mirrorless camera’s.
We can clearly see in the video below how fast the Canon 24mm F1.8 Lens is focusing (minute 3) on A7R II camera with the help of meta-bones adapter,
With the help of meta-bones adapter the recently announced A7R II camera from Sony is doing blazing fast AF with Canon Mount Lenses, take a look at the video below created by Miguel Quiles, he shows how Tamron lenses are working flawlessly with Tamron 15-30mm Canon mount lens.

Sony A7R II is finally available for pre-order at Amazon and B&H
The Sony A7R II is just announced by Sony USA, we are here to compare the A7R II against the Nikon D810 camera.
Major Difference
Sony Alpha 7R II vs. Nikon D810 Specification Comparison Table.
Sensor
The Sony A7R II features world’s first back-illuminated full-frame sensor with 42 MP resolution, the sensor is not a traditional CMOS sensor like Nikon D810, the Sony sensor is fabricated with 399 Phase-Detect AF Points and before we begin I must assure you that no Full frame camera in the world have such a advance AF Sensor.
Nikon D810 shares same sensor of Sony A7R II predecessor Sony A7R, the Full frame sensor us capable to capture 36 MP Stills. The sensor is traditional CMOS sensor and doesn’t support Hybrid AF like the A7R II.
ISO Range
The ISO Range is the most important part of the sensor, the entire range defines its sensitivity towards the incoming light to the sensor.
But before we begin to talk about the ISO range of the camera, you must know the relation between the photodiodes size and resolution, imager systems with small pixel size have high resolution. But lowering the pixels size also lowers the sensitivity of the camera that directly affect the ISO range of the camera.
Now, let’s have a look at the ISO range of both the camera. Starting with Nikon D810, the native ISO sensitivity range that runs from 64 to 12,800 and can be expanded from 32 to 51,200, on the other hand we have Sony A7R II camera with native ISO range of 100-25600 and extended ISO range of 50-102400, WHOA… despite of having the small pixels inside the sensor compared to the Nikon D810 camera Sony manages to increase the ISO range of the camera to a new height.
It clearly tells us that the Sony A7R II camera will not only capture high resolution images but will also grab better low-light images compared to the Nikon D810 camera.
So, the clear winner in image quality is Sony A7R II camera.
AF System
Since the Nikon D810 is a traditional DSLR camera it uses external Phase AF module below the sensor , Multi-CAM 3500FX 51-Point AF Sensor. That clearly means..
Nikon Phase AF system is limited to 51 AF points with 15 cross-type sensors, the Nikon D and Group Area AF enables five AF sensors to be used as one group.
Nikon D810 can capture 5 fps Shooting at Full Resolution, you can capture 57 Large fine JPEG with Phase AF tracking,.
The AF point is of the Nikon D810 DSLR camera is active only when we are using the viewfinder of the camera, otherwise will capturing still images with live view mode or while recording videos the phase AF system gets disabled and Contrast AF system gets active… resulting slow AF speed of the camera.
Sony A7R II loaded with world’s first full-frame 42.4-megapixel Exmor R back-illuminated structure CMOS sensor, take a look at the Key points
Sony A7R II features 399 phase-detect points and 25 contrast-detect points, world first fullframe mirrorless camera with that uses 399 on-sensor phase-detect AF points with 45% coverage along with 25 contrast-detect AF points in order to improve the speed, accuracy and tracking performance of the system.
The camera can shoot continuous frames of 40MP @ 5fps with tracking, continuously upto 24 frames while shooting in JPEG L format.
The AF system of Sony is always active while you are shooting still with viewfinder or you are using live view mode.
Sony A7R features advance AF system.
Shutter
The Sony A7R II features Reduced-Vibration Shutter & Silent Shooting, with the A7R II silent shooting option is also available, the mechanical shutter vibration is reduced upto 50% compared to the older camera models, the top shutter speed is 1/8000 and the mechanical shutter inside the camera has been tested to last for 500,000 cycles.
Nikon D810 also features Electronic & Mechanical shutter, electronic front-curtain shutter reduces the risk of blur in even subtle details by minimizing internal vibrations during exposure. The Nikon D810 top shutter is same as Sony A7R II and the mechanical shutter inside the camera has been tested to last for 200,000 cycles.
Both camera uses Hybrid shutter technology.
Video
The Sony A7R II can capture 4K Videos and records it internally, 35 format which uses oversampling with full pixel readout and no pixel binning, while recording the Video the phase AF system is fully active, thanks to the 399 phase-detection AF points present in the Fast Hybrid AF system, you get blazing fast AF speed without any focus hunting issue like a traditional contrast detect sensor have.
The Nikon D810 is limited to Fulll HD Video mode and contrast based AF system.
Wireless
The Nikon D810 connectivity is possible with optional WT-5A Wireless Transmitter in combination with the optional UT-1 Communications Unit.
Sony A7R II camera features built-in wireless and NFC connectivity, with WiFi you can share your images with mobile devices directly, and NFC allows for one-touch connection between the camera and compatible mobile devices
Sony A7R II features more advance wireless connectivity option.
