Curiosity recently got the better of fashion photographer Dana Pennington. After reading many reviews about the Sony A7r II, he decided to test the camera at six different on-location fashion shoots to see if it lived up to the hype. The result? After years of being a Canon user, Dana has decided to make the switch.
Some of Dana’s initial worries were linked to battery life, the quality of the EVF and the autofocus – he felt the original A7 lacked in all these areas – but he was pleasantly surprised on all fronts. It was interesting to learn that he managed to take over 800 shots in a day with 26% of the battery life left to spare just by switching the camera over to airplane mode.
And about the quality of the Raw files, he states:
The dynamic range and amount of detail is noticeably greater than the 5D Mark III files that I am used to. They hold up really well even to my harshest of color adjustments and abuses.
