Gallery: Walking Around New York City With a Php155K Camera

Kevin Bruce Francisco Leave a comment

I recently went on a trip to New York City and it neighboring states for vacation. Before the trip, Sony Philippines lent us the Sony a7R II to test out which was one of the most anticipated compact cameras to be available in the market. On paper alone, the specs are impressive including the world’s first backside-illuminated full-frame sensor with 42.4 megapixels and an ISO sensitivity that could go as far up as 102400.

That’s about as far as I would go for its technical specs since we have the review here which includes a list of all its internal goodness if that’s what you’re looking for.

For this post, I just wanted to share some of the shots I got out of the Php154,999 camera without going through photoshop for retouches. The only processing these images received were resizing so they could be uploaded here for easy viewing.

I am not a professional photographer, nor is this a sponsored post.

Uploaded here is a total of 39 photos from the trip which are categorized in three general groups: Objects and Day Shots, People, and Night Shots.

It’s true when they say, “It’s not the bow and arrow, but the Indian.” Well, sometimes a good set of tools also help. This is definitely the case for the a7R II.

Sony a7R II Review

Touting really serious specs like a 42.4-megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor and ISO sensitivity topping at 102400, this full-frame mirrorless compact camera means business when it comes to using it as a point-and-shoot device. Read our full review of the Sony a7R II to know more about its capabilities and to see what kind of images it could produce from straight out of the camera.

Design and Construction

Sony-a7Rii-review-philippines-1

Coming from the same alpha 7 series of compact cameras, the a7R II shares almost identical looks as the a7 Mark II that we briefly fiddled around with during its SEA launch.

Most of its body is made up of magnesium alloy that now has improved weather-sealing enclosure with a reinforced lens mount so it could handle bigger, weighty lenses.

Up top, we have the dials for shooting mode and exposure squeezed on the right side of the body. Also found in this area are programmable buttons for switching between different shooting settings with ease. Inside, the shutter is made with a reduced vibration design that results to making less sound every time the curtain moves.

Connectivity ports and slots are strategically placed around the enclosure. The lower right side is for the miniSD, while the base of the shooter is for the battery pack. Opening the flap on the left reveals the ports for connecting it to and with other electronics.

Controls and Ergonomics

Sony-a7Rii-review-philippines-9
With its positioning of buttons and dials, navigating the a7R II was pretty easy and comfortable. Holding it, one would notice the heft that it packs even though it has a compact body. This isn’t all bad since having a bit of weight contributes to being able to hold it steady while shooting.

Just like what we’ve mentioned with the a7 Mark II, the housing now feels deeper compared to its previous model but adds comfort when the hand starts gripping the body. Up front, we see the repositioned dial an inch away from the shutter release button which is well- and ergonomically-positioned.
