This shows that ISO is irrelevant. What introduces noise is bad light and no light...

High ISO shots are the thing I crave most from the a7R II. Really want to see how the BSI sensor helps out.

I'm interested in this too. I've been keeping an eye out for some astro shots but seen nothing yet

Jap. im set to get one myself. I need this camera as it simply is the best thing that happened to mirrorless since inteoduction of the A7 & A7R. Good that i have no pressure, so i will eventually get one off the bay in a few months when David A. Is going to sell his because he likes the 5DS more

DF 'David A. Is going to sell his because he likes the 5DS more' I predict the opposite. Mr. Arbogast loves (my observation) the most advanced/cutting edge...soon enough he'll realize he's got a huge sensor from olden days .

Seriously David Arbo, get the Rii !!! See the difference. I'll buy you a beer (or sugar-free tea) when we finally meet just to hear you say in person it was a choice of old-timey but huge sensor (5Ds/r) or the most consumate all-in-one camera ever made.

Well after a long talk with my wife I did finally conclude that, yes, I plan to order up an a7R II. My wife is a great sounding board - I'll frequently discuss different ideas with her, which helps me sort things out better.

Electing to get an a7R II means no 100-400mm for the time being, but I'm ok with that as I am very happy with what I already have - I think those lens are suitable for executing my upcoming plans. And speaking of what I already have, I just think I can't do better by my Otus 55mm and Apo Sonnar 135mm than to get an a7R II. Having IBIS for them should be a huge deal!

I am getting my stuff ready for sale to offset the cost: 4 x 600EX RTs (that I rarely use), 5D III, and a7R.

Great news David

Well....next year I am starting to shoot weddings. If there is an A7iii by then, I may have to forgo the Canon 6D as a backup camera (I love my 5D mk III too much I am afraid!). If the A7iii has a near 5DmkIII like focus speed then you never know...I may even say goodbye to Canon all together.

I still think the 5DS R is still going to be an immensely valuable tool in my kit - even though the a7R II runs circles around it in several areas. One area where the a7R II may come up short is in the long exposure department.

Snapsy is knowledgeable about the performance of various cameras, and he's thinking that the a7R II may be yet another poor performer in LE shooting. So, that's a bit of a disappointment, and tells me that I'll be using the 5DS R for LE work.

OTOH, it is still really early. We may see some better reviews/studies on the a7R II in LE. Even so, I am not wild about the fact that using LR noise reduction limits the raw output to 12-bit images.

But do you really play with a gamut that much in your general LE shots? I mean we can only see around 7bit colour anyway! The palette for 12 is still humongous and will only start to band when you are doing some pretty extreme PP work (usually indicating a **** up).

The a7rII's AF is already near 5DIII speeds. The a7rII has some pretty big advantages over the 5DIII and is a better camera overall. My 5DIII is going up for sale soon!

any noise reduction in post?

Moved the luminance slider +20 in camera raw so yes, but pretty minimal. The files clean up nicely.

Just playing around yesterday, here's a very short clip I just uploaded to Youtube and rendered in 4K showing my small garden where the Skipper butterflies congregate. Be sure to click on the Youtube logo on the player to watch on Youtube full screen and select a resolution of 2160p.

For some reason, this clip plays at full 4K using Chrome as my browser but only 720p with IE...go figure.

Oh, I shot this using my FE 16-35.

Gene, nice video the colors really pop in 4k.

Shoot! I was hoping this new body would have improved LE shooting. I will keep on eye out for more reviews in the topic. I hope it is not as bad as claimed.

Thanks. That's straight out of the camera with no enhancements at all. I want to redo it as one long clip though instead of 3 or 4 short ones tacked together.
