Hi Guys, how does the A7ii battery life performing in real world? Still 350 shots for a full charged battery? Cheers
All the A7/Nex/Axxx batteries are the same. You might get 350 shots.

With the A7ii will it have the same focussing speed as the A7Rii and will the use of the Canon or Nikon lenses still be as fast using the Metabones adapter??? If not could this be updated with firmware?
Looking at Panamoz yesterday and the A7ii seems a fair price with kit lens at £1115
No. No. The new A7rii will be much better, hence the price!
Just been looking for a bag to take my A7 with 55 or 35mm fitted and the other in a bag. Have tried the supermarkets and Currys but nothing suits. The closest was a bag in Currys but it had superfluous flaps which seemed to serve no purpose other than get in the way and wasn't marked with a price.
Can anyone suggest a small bag for camera and additional lens?

Yup that's the one. That bag is amazing and can be folded and put in your pocket when not in use and it's the lightest bag ever so won't hurt your shoulders etcLike this?
What about in one shot af mode? Can you still have access to all focus options or is it again set to auto only?
1) Yup, all fine and dandy if you dont mind AF in full auto and nose shots, Id like to think nobody uses that. Micro adjust, wow, not all lenses need it and it takes 5 mins if they do. No big deal.

I think you'd be pretty lucky not to need to MA (if you're a pixel peeper) and your luck would need to be world beating as you buy more lenses, I thought you had to MA at a few distances and even if you get it done in 5 minutes what about the other distances, the outer points and the possibility of it wandering over time. The beauty of these CSC is that the focus is much more accurate at any and all distances today and tomorrow and into the future.1) Yup, all fine and dandy if you dont mind AF in full auto and nose shots, Id like to think nobody uses that.

That and the single card slots.....I use A99s to shoot weddings and I love them. Today I popped in to Jessops and had a wee look at an a7r. It is just lovely. I *could* be tempted to ditch the alphas and get two a7rs if it wasn't for that pesky July tax bill
Conflicting dates on release of a7r2. Apparently it will ship end of August which is around my birthday...
Defecation optics!! I'd hope not!
Defraction Optics :0)
Canon used it in their 400mm DO and 70-300 DO in 2004;

I've never shot with either but the reviews above indicated reduced contrast and sharpness as well as halos in the out of focus areas so not really great lenses compared to others at the time. I don't know if Sony could use the same principle to reduce their lens sizes without compromising quality on much better sensors that show every flaw of a lens.
FE 35mm F1. 4 after cashback is just over £850 at currys at the moment. Seems a good deal.
850/950 whatever....still a good deal.
Hehe.
I must have very good luck...
CSC at the moment are probably best suited to people like me... and people like me will very probably find that CSC focus is better than DSLR focus. Personally I've only had a hand full of missed focus shots with my CSC's and on one occasion I got three in a row but I think that was down to the humidity in Thailand as shots before and after were fine. Other than that, Great.
Like all choices we need to think if the product is for us and there's a lot of choice out there for people who prefer the features and abilities of DSLR's.
I'm exactly like you. I won't cough into two systems and tbh the only reason I got the 55mm prime for my a7s is just to play around with a tiny native lens.Very true, it does depend on the user and what they photograph. Im unfortunately one of those that likes using both systems for various reasons, DSLR for focus speed and accuracy for moving subjects and CSC because they are less 'effort'. I dont however like coughing up for two full systems!! Doh!! I know mirrorless will catch up in a few years and most likely exceed eventually but I want it NNNNOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!
