The Sony A7 II was launched in December 2014 in two arrangements: body-only or bundled with the FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS lens.

Body material and Design:

The body construction is a full two-part magnesium alloy shell and that is dust and moisture resistant, including weather seals on buttons. The lens mount of A7 II is also improved by using magnesium alloy to increase the strength and strictness that is very helpful, when using heavier and longer lenses.

Shooting video with the a7 II is very easy. By default, the camera is set to record whenever the red record button is implemented, in spite of your mode and switching from stills to video is simple. The a7 II is the second full frame Sony A series camera to offer XAVC S, previously it only originated in the video-centric a7S. SDXC memory cards are mandatory to shoot XAVC S format video.  The a7 II will also record in the AVCHD and MP4 formats. Before selecting the codec to record video make sure you are using the right one before using the editing program. You can choose a variety of manual and automatic shooting modes to record video.
