Sony α7S II Unboxing

We are more than a little bit excited about our newest additions to our tribe of gadgets. Having added wedding videography to our repertoire at Pause The Moment (see our first video here) it seemed like the right time to invest in some additional specialised equipment. Enter the Sony α7S II. Like we ever need any excuse! Prepare for the ubiquitous unboxing sequence…

Sony α7S II Unboxing

We don’t do these things by halves… so we bought two. How else could we use a Sony α7S II to capture the unboxing of *another* Sony α7S II? 😉 Our Sony α7S II twins now keep each other company in our kitbag. It will be so fantastic to have two identical cameras rolling during the ceremonies and speeches of the weddings we record.

We have only had a little while to experiment with these Sony α7S II babies so far, but have been blown away by the image quality they produce, especially taking photos and videos in low light environments like wedding receptions. Having purchased them for video we are trying to stop the niggling curiosity as to how their sister camera, the Sony α7R II performs in similar conditions…

For now, what I can tell you is that the can virtually see in the dark. Its ISO sensitivity goes up to 409600 (not a typo)! They can record 4K movies on a full frame sensor and they have 5-axis image stabilisation within the camera.

We’re looking forward to spending more time with out two Sony α7S II cameras during our next few weddings. Should you or anyone you know need videography or photography for a wedding, birthday or special event, please don’t hesitate to contact us at Pause The Moment!
