Also located on the front of the A7S II is the newly reinforced lens mount using magnesium alloy and a small porthole on the left for the self-timer/AF illuminator. All-in-all, we're impressed with the ergonomic improvements that have been introduced on the A7S II, and feel that the resulting increase in size and weight is a worthwhile compromise.

Sony have taken advantage of the bigger surface area to re-position the shutter release, which now sits in a much more logical position on top of the handgrip, with a new command dial also more conveniently located on the front. We found it easy enough to get to grips with the A7S, but the new grip on the A7S II makes for an even more secure hold. The A7S II has a large handgrip which protrudes forwards and is more DSLR-like than on the original A7S. The aluminium bodied Sony A7S II is virtually identical to the A7R II and A7 II cameras, measuring 126.9 x 95.7 x 60.3mm and weighing 582g without a lens, battery and memory card fitted, some 140g more than last year's A7S. The Sony A7S II is available now priced at around £2499 / $2999 body only. The A7S II also features a dust/moisture-resistant magnesium alloy body, 0.78x magnification XGA OLED electronic viewfinder, tiltable 3-inch LCD screen, and NFC and Wi-Fi connectivity.

Other standout highlights of the A7S II include internal 4K video recording with full pixel readout without pixel binning in full-frame format, Full HD 120fps and 4x/5x slow motion recording, gamma assist display, time code and optional XLR audio inputs, 5-axis image stabilisation system, BIONZ X image processor, a silent image capture mode, continuous shooting rate of 5fps, and an enhanced auto focus system with 169 AF points which can operate down to light levels as low as EV -4. The Sony A7S II is a new 35mm full-frame compact system camera with a 12.2 megapixel sensor that provides an incredible ISO range of 50-409,600 and high dynamic range.
