Sony Alpha a7R II Black 2015

★★★★☆ 4.4 (4)

The 42.4MP full-frame BSI-CMOS sensor and BIONZ X processor deliver exceptional resolution, while 399-point phase-detect AF with Eye AF and 5-stop 5-axis IBIS ensure sharp, stabilized images even in a weather-sealed body weighing just 624g. Despite its pro-level imaging, the compact magnesium alloy body and built-in Wi-Fi with NFC make it a discreet travel companion. This camera is best for landscape and portrait photographers who need travel-friendly 42MP resolution without the bulk of a medium format system.
