When I see wish for a Sony camera that looks like this I don't se the point att all. If you are interested in big bulky cameras buy a Nikon D5 or a Canon 1DX Mark ll. These type of cameras are now targeted for the for well of amateur market. Like the Leica system. Today most professionals will not use each brands top models. They are just to heavy and pricy. I'm a professional photographer with more than 30 years experience and for me Sony A7ll is the camera, it reminds me of Nikon F3 in size and handling. The Sony A7ll is a light weight camera with really good picture quality in the right price range. My wish is for Sony is that they would develop the A7ll into a camera with better durability, better ergonomics and a menu system that some one outside of Japan could understand. That would be a camera for photography the rest are just for show off. That is why Fujifilm X-T2 is now ranked by many to be this years best camera for photography. (dpreview)

I like the A-mount! And A99 Mark 2 is an excellent camera, but Sony may be even better!
My vision of the flagship camera from Sony
 
 - E-mount (NO! Translucent Mirror Technology) + A-mount adapter in BOX
 - 42 mp sensor
 - continuous shooting at up to 8-10fps
 - 6K 24fps and 4K 48fps video (240fps in HD) in 4:2:2 on SD
 - New video codec with a higher bitrate (for support 6K, and 4K 250-300 megabit per second)
 - Support new Video Speed Class 60/90 (protocol of SD 5.0) up to 90 MB per second
 - Base ISO 400 for S-Log3 
 - Laser or IR focus lamp
 - 16-stop wide dynamic range and price not exceeding $ 3,500 for body ))))

    • Hello ! A friend gave me an old Sony SLT A65 that was locked in a suitcase for some years and guess what... It was pretty dirty. The translucent mirror looks strange. I know it's a pellicle mirror, but something is really weird , at least to me who never saw this entity before. It shows a rainbow pattern when lit, like a diffraction grid. And when I point the camera to a strong light source, let´s say streets lights or car lights, a huge halo and a diffuse pattern appears, almost like one of that photographic filters from the '70s. I guess the mirror is damaged. Does enyone have any experience with this ? I managed to remove the mirror and carefully rinse it with water and detergent solution , rinse again and dry, but the rainbow patter persists. My question is basically about the translucent mirror behavior with strong highlights and if the rainbow pattern on its surface is normal.   Thanks!  
    • Sounds like you need a manual, and you are correct different settings can affect what you can do in the drive more.  Did you simple press the DRIVE button and select the THREE rectangles? There are several "burst" modes -- that you set with the Fn button or DRIVE button.  One takes several photos, when you press the button once (CONTINUOUS).  Another requires you to press the shutter button each time (SINGLE).  When you press the DRIVE button, what icon shows up -- a single rectangle or three?
    • If the 18-105 is too bulky, then so is the Tamron 17-70. Quality wise however, definately pick the Tamron over the Sony Zeiss 16-70, which is a compromised and dated design and similar in quality to the 18-105. I was in the same boat as you for a while (also had the 16-50 kit lens and 18-105 f/4), and went with the Sony 16-55 F/2.8 G. Happy with the choice as it's more compact than the Tamron 17-70 and vastly better quality than the Zony 16-70. In your case however, the omission of stabilized optics might be a dealbreaker. Did you consider the tiny but decent Sigma 18-50 f/2.8?
