Sony's second-gen low-light specialist — 12.2MP full-frame with IBIS, internal 4K, and S-Log3.
The Sony A7S II launched in 2015 as a major upgrade to the A7S, adding 5-axis IBIS and internal 4K recording — the two features most requested from the original. It became the definitive low-light video camera for documentary and event filmmakers.
The 12.2MP full-frame sensor delivers extraordinarily clean high-ISO footage — usable to ISO 102400 and beyond. 5-axis IBIS rated at 4.5 stops. Internal 4K 30p 8-bit 4:2:0 and 1080p 120fps. S-Log2 and S-Log3 for maximum grading flexibility. 169-point AF.
Magnesium alloy body at 627g with weather sealing. 2.36M-dot OLED EVF. 3-inch tilting LCD. Single SD card slot. Micro-HDMI and USB micro-B. WiFi and NFC. NP-FW50 battery — limited life.
Available used at mid-range prices. The A7S III dramatically improved with 4K 120p and new sensor. The A7S II remains excellent for low-light video at reduced prices. Check shutter count and sensor condition. One of the most important video cameras of its era — used on thousands of productions.
