📖 Overview
The Alpha 7 II was the first full-frame mirrorless camera to feature 5-axis in-body image stabilization, a breakthrough that made it a compelling choice for photographers using adapted legacy lenses. At today's prices it represents one of the cheapest ways into full-frame Sony photography, though its aging 117-point autofocus system and limited video capabilities show their 2014 origins.
