Good evening and pleased to meet you, I have a strange issue on an camera on sales that only some specialized forum can solve. 

The camera is an Sony a7 ii, Seller tells that during photo on high level of light, some weird horizontal/vertical stripes appears on photo. 

I know that some purple horizontal stripes on pictures can be caused by bad sd data transmission, but I never saw something like that in picture.  

I have an wonderful a7sii and I never had that issues so I can't value if it's an opportunity to buy or an big mistake. 

Almost forgot, the camera has around 56k shoot

They should try to remap the sensor, it's in the toolbox menu, at least on newer cameras, not sure about the A7 II but it should be there.

If you're considering this camera to purchase, I would run away. I wouldn't buy that camera no matter how cheap it is.

Even to use it as second camera? You think should be an sensor issue? 

I read around on internet that could be also some issue of corrupted sd cards or bad compatibility with some lens. 

I'm really not sure that could be true, that's why I would like to have much point of view as possible. 

The camera could be sell around a hundred bucks, but I can afford the operation of changing some internal part eventually, but definitely not worth an sensor replacement operation, especially for an second camera. 

I think that if the issue is manageable without changing the sensor could be an big opportunity for having a second camera for almost nothing, otherwise I think it should be an loose of time and money 

Hope I get the point, English is not my native language 

Thanks in advance for everyone would gave me their point of view

Don't worry, I can understand you just fine!

Could be anything. An SD card shouldn't be too hard to check. If you can get the camera that inexpensively it may be worth a shot, but the sensor and/or processor scares me. If you can't find out what's causing it through simple processes, then I would proceed with caution. 

Question: You say it shows up on the photo. Does it show up on the rear screen before the photo is taken? And, does it show up in the viewfinder?

Asked today. He confirmed that the problem is present also during picture shooting and in the viewfinder. 

At this time, I wouldn't risk to buy it, but I would like to say thank you to you, for your support and idea. 

I will keep shooting with my beloved a7sii!

      Bokeh?

      By Mr. Lips · Posted

      Like Cameratose, I usually go for as much depth of field as I can, but sometimes there is no getting around out of focus areas, such as a closeup of a cactus flower.  I guess, everything else being equal, I might be concerned about a lenses bokeh, but everything else is seldom equal.  At this point in my photography I think I have bigger problems than unattractive bokeh.

      Sony A1 ii Focusing Challenge

      By MDEMM · Posted

      I elected to upgrade from Sony A1 to the A1 ii and am seeing some significant focusing challenges in the little time I've spent with it so far. Less than 10% of photos appear to be in focus when photographing small birds in subject mode birds with seemingly no improvement when subject mode is changed to birds/animals/people. Scenario: Sony A1 ii, 200-600 G lens @ 600mm, F6.3, shutter speed on male cardinal (in-focus mostly) at 1/250 ISO 125 and female cardinal (nothing in focus) at 1/1600 ISO 100; AF-C set with eye supposedly in focus in both shots. Lens has AF on, OSS on, Mode 1. I've tried switching out lenses using 100-400 with and without 1.4X converter and used handheld and used tripod. Photos are at a distance of 20-25 yards. The photos below are within a couple yards of one another. There is seemingly no improvement in AF performance despite the combinations of lens, tripod and focus zones attempted. Birds are stationary. Many of the photos will have everything in the frame seemingly out of focus and some may have the head in focus and rest of body out of focus and immediate area around bird slightly out of focus at F9-F11. I considered that I was cropping too much and had pixel peeping / expectations problem, but some photos are wildly out of focus when supposedly focusing on eye or body. Neither photo below is cropped. Ideas are welcome!

      Bokeh?

      Agreed, but it's ancient thinking. Any modern forum lets you edit whenever. It's simply a setting they could click to turn off. It's one reason I won't post many photos here. After 10 minutes I lose complete control over my own property.
