You can live with certain limitations as long as the image quality is right. If you think this way, you can confidently go for the Sony A7II instead of investing almost a thousand euros more for the A7III. Like the Nikon Z5, the A7II is equipped with a sensor-shift image stabiliser and offers image quality comparable to the Canon RP. Buy tip: price/performance.

Evolution instead of revolution was Sony's credo in the development of the Alpha 7 II. Apart from the image stabiliser, the improvements are mainly in the details. For example, the optimised handling thanks to the good positioning of the shutter release or the splash-proof housing.
