Full-frame, palm-sized .
Reality realized.

See reality as your mind's eye envisions it with the incredible new Sony 7R II.
The world's first
this camera capability to deliver 42.4-megapixel
fast response that are apparent in every amazing picture. The Fast Hybrid AF
system's extra-wide dense focal plane phase-detection AF coverage keeps
subjects in sharp focus, while 5-axis image stabilization reduces blur which
otherwise tends to affect handheld shots. High-resolution imaging is further
enhanced by 4K movie recording now featuring full pixel readout without pixel
binning. With so much innovation packed into such a compact form, it's clear
that there is more to life than meets the naked eye.
