It all depends on your preferences regarding sharpness and viewing distance. A few months ago I ordered a large print (60cm by 40cm) of a picture which I cropped slightly (about 17-17.5MP left after cropping). I also applied sharpening before sending it in. At my preferred viewing distance, sharpness was about just right. A 10 or 12MP file would not have been enough for me. 550D | EF-S 18-55mm F/3.5-5.6 IS | EF 50mm F/1.8 II | EF 70-200mm F/4L IS | Speedlite 580EX II | LumoPro LP180 | Gitzo GT3541XLS | Arca-Swiss Monoball Z1 SP | ONA Bowery (black, non-leather)

(mki) what was that 10 MP? Well said. I like it when we talk about gear in terms of the right fit for ourselves rather than blanket statements that unavoidably cast aspersions on those that may have entirely different needs and aspirations. If we call a product "dumb" then what may be said of those who are excited about, and who desire to purchase it? There is a rather inescapable castigating linkage. David | Flickr

Most of them are way too soft for my taste. Are you doing anything special in post besides sharpening to get them workable? Is this your main stills camera?

I might try renting the a7ii for an upcoming team photo shoot this month and see if it'll be enough for me in regards to low light performance and shutter sound... but I'm betting the extra size/weight alone will break the deal for me. I just can't bring myself to open my wallet for the a7S yet though... why's it gotta be the most expensive of all of them dang it!  Fuji X-T3 // Fuji X-Pro2 (Full Spectrum) // Fuji X-H1 // Fuji X-T1

If the A7R wasn't good enough regarding high ISO performance, then the A7II won't be either. I believe there is a saying which goes like this: 550D | EF-S 18-55mm F/3.5-5.6 IS | EF 50mm F/1.8 II | EF 70-200mm F/4L IS | Speedlite 580EX II | LumoPro LP180 | Gitzo GT3541XLS | Arca-Swiss Monoball Z1 SP | ONA Bowery (black, non-leather)
