Even if you assign one of the buttons to make it a quick change, it's frustrating to me that I can't use it all at the same time. When a stabilised Sony lens is used on the camera the two systems combine to give optimised performance, choosing the best one to use for the focal length and each type of correction. As usual, it struggles a bit under some artificial lighting, but it’s easy to set a Custom white balance value. The trouble is, these normally cost a packet, especially for full frame cameras – but then Tamron comes to the rescue with the Tamron 17-28mm f/2.

Many of the buttons on the A7 II are customisable, so it’s worth spending some time using the camera and experimenting with different customisation settings.

This newest Pocket model features a camera with a larger Type 1 sensor and a 2-inch rotatable touchscreen for vertical or horizontal framing. From a design standpoint, additional improvements in this model include more rugged build quality, a new front dial, and a relocated shutter release button. The Sony A7 II has been Sony’s cheapest full frame camera for a while now, offering frankly ridiculous value for money, given that it comes with a 24MP sensor and in-body stabilization carried forward to the later Sony A7 III and Sony A7C.
