Ken Rockwell posted his full A7rII review and I didn’t expect anything else than a highly polarizing review.
In Short he says the A7rII is a great camera but not as good as same priced DSLR. The only area where the A7rII beats them is in ” classical concert photography” because of its silent shutter…LOL :)

He made a very clear statement about why this camera will be loved by hobbyist and not by photographers:

A photo hobbyist is someone who loves talking about pixels, software, apps, bit depths and especially loves playing with a zillion different brands of lenses on adapters. That’s why hobbyists and gizmo fans love this camera so much.

Hobbyists are completely different from photographers, photographic artists or pro shooters. The problem with the A7R II for use by a photographic artist like myself is that while A7R II images look great, its colors never look as great in real-world shots as I get directly from my Canons and Nikons. Most people are hobbyists and won’t notice the subtle things I do, and therefore I certainly recommend the A7R II, but for serious work, the Sony isn’t there yet.

As I said, he is very black and white in his judgements. And it really depends a lot on Ken’s personal tastes if he likes a camera or not. So take it easy when commenting this :)

Tony Northup posted that real world review of the A7rII. You will hear the usual pros and cons list and let’s hope Sony will take note of them to make a nice larger A9 body :)

And here are some new A7rII tests:

First Look at Ron Mart Blog.

Hans: “have tried the 500mm/8 not so expensive Vivitar mirror lens with IBIS on the A7R MarkII. Was surprised about the good results. Like to have a look? Here is the link: www.flickr.com/photos/autorenphotographie/albums/72157656831778163
Kind regards/Mit freundlichem Gruss”

Chuck: “I’ve been shooting football games recently with the A7RII and will be posting more videos soon – I just put up a quick one featuring a few shots with the A77II and the A7RII: https://youtu.be/R7eWiJcj9Fc”

Jeff: “Sony A7Rii & Lee Big Stopper: There are few places I return to more than once. Fossil Cove is enchanting. It helps me feel alive and each time I leave, the light has run out before I have finished shooting. Each corner you turn, or ledge you climb there is another angle – a different perspective with its own unique beauty: http://www.sonyalphaforum.com/topic/1880-return-to-fossil-cove/”

Ed: “A nice article on A7RII being used in a hot steel mill for some video pickup shots. http://frugalproducer.com/2015/09/18/will-a7rii-overheat-shooting-4k-in-a-steel-mill/”
