Sony Alpha a7II Mirrorless Camera Body
Cameras are useful tools that help people capture and record precious memories and important moments. While most, if not all, cellphones today have built-in cameras, few of them can come close to matching the power and quality of a mirrorless camera. For example, the Sony Alpha a7II Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera - Body Only ILCE-7M2/B, is an outstanding camera that you can use to record all of life’s precious moments. The a7II is a full-frame camera with 5-axis image stabilization, which provides shake compensation for a wide-range of mountable lenses. This camera is loaded with cutting edge technology, and is an excellent choice for both beginner, and professional photographers.
The Sony Alpha a7II is compact, and equipped with an enhanced Fast Hybrid AF to easily keep track of fast-moving targets. Its 5-axis image stabilization assists you by compensating for five different types of camera shaking that commonly occur when shooting images and movies while holding the camera in your hands. The ability to swap and use different lenses is one of the greatest benefits of mirrorless cameras. The Sony a7II is compatible with all your favorite E-mount and A-mount lenses. It even offers focal plane phase-detection AF when using an A-mount lens if you have the LAEA3(LA-EA16) mount adapter. Another piece of technology used in the Sony Alpha a7II is its 35mm full-frame 24.3 MP7 Exmor® CMOS sensor, which allows it to capture and deliver beautiful photos in a stunning 24.3 MP resolution.
