We got some early hands-on time with the Sony A7S II last night, a full frame, mirrorless camera we have dubbed "the master of the dark arts" for its impressive low light shooting prowess.

So far, we're expecting pretty much more of the same–excellent high ISO results, great focusing, but not incredibly detailed images since this is just a 12.2MP sensor. But that's what the A7 Mk II and the A7r Mk II are for.

Sony took the wraps off its successor to its year-old A7 in Japan a few days ago, but today we get the US pricing and availability. It's slated to ship quite soon -- mid-December -- at a cost of $1,700 for the body and $2,000 for the 28-70mm kit. Australia and the UK won't get it till a month later, at AU$2,000 or £1,500 for the body only. The 28-70m kit will be £1,700 in the UK.
