Super stoked at the a7R Mark II announcement. I'll be switching over to here in the next couple months! I was eyeing the a7R but mechanical issues prevented the jump - was waiting on this before deciding on this or the Nikon D810, and it looks like the decision is made. Lighter for me is key, articulating screen is a key, and IBIS can be handy when handholding crazy shots (e.g. when I was shooting from the top of an iceberg/chunk in the Iceland coast...
