Question for Sony users A7R2 vs A7R3

For someone (not me) is really into scenic photography and may be looking for a new body.  Uses Canon right now.  If he were to get a Sony body strictly for scenic work is the newer III worth the extra $1,000 if on a budget?  Keep in mind, strictly scenic and no action etc. 

I realize "worth it" is a relative term but I understand they have "similar" senors which is why I ask.
Thanks.  Jim

There are a number of significant improvements over the a7R II that make the III the one to get if you can afford it but the II is an excellent camera especially if you are using it primarily for static subjects or as you say "scenics" .  Check out my review for a lot of detail but in short:

- New larger and higher capacity battery
- Fully electronic shutter option for zero internal movement before, during, and after exposure
- Claimed 15 stop dynamic range
- 14 bit uncompressed RAW capability in all shooting modes
- Lower vibration and better damped shutter mechanism
- Multi-shot pixel shift mode to eliminate Bayer demosaicing
- AF point selection thumbstick (joystick)
- AF point auto-orientation
- Significantly improved AF system and more responsive eye focus
- Separate programmable AF and AEL buttons resulting in an additional programmable button
- Meter adjustment/calibration capability
- New Screen Average and Highlight metering modes
- More effective in body image stabilization (IBIS) - claimed 5.5 stops
- Dramatically larger image buffer
- All menu options now assignable to function buttons (not just shooting options)
- More organized menu structure and a user programmable My Menu area
- A touchscreen with touch focus point selection
- USB 3.1(C) connector for high speed transfer in addition to the USB 2 micro-USB connector
- One UHS-II high speed SD card slot and one UHS-1 standard speed card slot

Hi E.J.
You're complete in depth review is outstanding as usual!
When I said Scenic I probably should have said landscape
This summery from your article probably sums it up well for the intended use and answers my question to a T.

Thank you very much! Jim

"While Sony touts significantly improved image quality over the a7R II,
much of that is due to specsmanship and the real world image quality improvement, while
present, is not very significant. The a7R III is a great update for people that need better AF
performance and higher frame rate or are annoyed by constant battery changes. If you are a
slow methodical landscape shooter, the older a7R II will serve you very well for the foreseeable
future."
