Me too lol cheers

Same !

I just bought mine :)

same!!

And u got ripped off with that battery life lol

David Pinon thank you brother...it's amazing how some people can get so worked up over an opinion lol

Perhaps some of your critics need to take a chill pill, your's is just an opinion, you're open about that. Keep up the great work and challenge our thinking.

Chris Angeles and you? Do you have a successful channel or Photography business? Nope, I never heard of you.

Research? I can't dig deep enough to find out anything about you lol!

Hassan Goldstein Umm yea nice straw man argument... Since most of them were not even around for the internet revolution... Now CURRENT God photographers like these use social media and have websites. Shoot, even Art Wolfe has all social media covered and books, and movies on Netflix. If all those Gods you listed were born in the modern era you bet they would be using social media to spread their ability and fan base. dmimaging.net/top-modern-photographers/

+Jason Lanier For the serious video producer they are not going to spend 6 grand on a dslr. I'm a video producer and frankly I wouldn't even use a dslr for my work - perhaps 5 years ago, but not now. Conversely, this Nikon is for the professional photographer who could care less about its video capabilities.

+Alan Mauro yet it's amazing how nobody said the same for the A7Rii. My point is the hypocrisy is astounding. Nikons epic failure on the 4K video end is excused away while everyone and their mother made it the main complaint about the A7Rii...and the A7Rii exponentially better than the D5 for 4K video. It truly shows the bias in the industry.

+Jason Lanier with 3.0 firmware for the a7r ii and a7s ii the overheating problem is completely gone

+Joao Fezas Vital yea, I know..:)

+Jason Lanier getting the camera next week along with a commlite adapter to use with my canon glass.. can't wait :D

I agree he is just saying his opinion

Totally agree AND...I LOVE my A7rii!!

Uuuu o u

for the title. thats why we "crucify" him. i didnt even watch the video. its pointless with a title like that. the title should explain whats in the video.

?? It says review by Jason Lanier. Do you think review means the word of god or something lol? Its a review which means its based off of his experience. And his experience tells him that it is the best camera in the world.

GreyCanvas word of god?.. wtf are you talking about i was criticizing his opinion OBVIOUSLY. his opinion is retarded because OBVIOUSLY it isnt THE BEST CAMERA because IT CANT FUNCTION AS A WILDLIFE CAMERA GET IT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!~?!?!??!?!?!

Well that is what you are criticizing. You don't speak for everyone else. Read the comments. People are mad because of what he thinks and they are treating it as if it is the absolute truth. He never said it was the truth. He said it was his opinion. Thats the only point im trying to get across. Everyone doesnt seem to realize, in his opinion it is the best camera in the world. All I am saying is why are these people in the comments butt hurt about some random guys opinion about a camera that he thinks is the best? Disagreeing is fine but literally threating the guy because of what he think is ridiculous in my opinion. I never referred to only to you. My original comment was a blanket statement.

GreyCanvas i guess you're right

Now I finally can! Ordered one and it is stuck in France due to checks and blocks due to covid 19!

@@SergioBlackDolphin sorry that really blows But it'll come soon, I'm excited for you!

@@Atlas92936 I finally got it and it is a great camera.

@@SergioBlackDolphin fantastic!

well get a job

+Ray Eccleston You can use the Sony 24-70 2.8, or the Nikon and Canon glass.

+Ray Eccleston Bad choice brohamlet.

jim miller I know that I'm going to switch to Sony at some point, but as of right now I am getting the same awesome sensor performance with a much better autofocus system and a much better lens selection. The only thing I am missing is an evf.

+peter thomas Jason already switched to Sony before they started to pay him.

If i did sell my Sonys which i won't, it certainly wouldn't be for Canon or Nikon, i would be getting Fuji

iv'e been there. just bought my sony ar7ii. you got this

on sale, go get it.

Sweet, mate''.

Jan H. 3:05 listen carefully

Lol pretty much. Glad you liked it!

Get the A7S2 for video work. It's a lot better in low light.

+Enrico Benites There are great camera makers outside of Canon and Nikon. If I didn't have Nikon then I'd probably choose Fuji. Also, he's a paid sponsor by Sony so of course he's going to say Sony is the best.

Tecnically, Sony is the best in major items. Compare it in www.dpreview.com And about Jason Lanier, he says so many times, he isn't payed by Sony. I love and work with sony before I knew Jason. I bought one because it was better than it's concurrents (Alpha 77) at the time. I commented here, because where I live (Brazil), people don't have acces to brands or models, just a few...And always it's Canon or Nikon! People here don't search about the tecnichal details of the equipment. They don't compare. They just buy one or another, because "X" ou "Y" said it was "the best one"...This makes me mad! Just it...

+Enrico Benites so he does all that publicity, websites, and workshops for free? if so, Sony is the king of getting free publicity from good photographers.

As I said, I really don't care if he is paid, or not by Sony! I use knowledge and information to compare products! Repeating: I'm mad about people that don't search information, don't compare characteristics about products, acting like "monkey see, monkey do", like the majority in Brazil! If you are acusing him, he is lying or he is a fraud, contact him and tell this directly...It doesn't make a difference for me. Period.

+kalel33 If you understood SEO you would understand why Jason tags Sony, Nikon, Canon or mirrorless on anything he does. He's delivering valid content, developing a following and increasing his internet presence. He doesn't need Sony's money.....Sony doesn't need his marketing. It definitely doesn't hurt their advertising campaign either. Don't hate, it's business. It's strategic marketing that anyone can do. You don't even have to be a great photographer! BTW...free websites, free publicity, but workshops are fee based. If I could travel around the world teaching my passion and charging a fee I would. www.southbayexposure.com

D R I started off with the NX1 and had all the premium lenses. I just sold it all off recently after a year because of the rapid decline in value. So I got out while I could and just went Sony last week. I think we can agree Samsung probably screwed up abandoning something with such potential but given their recent problem with exploding phones and washer machines, maybe this is how they're paying for ditching their NX1 users. To my knowledge, it's still the best 4K video camera - unfortunately I never touched the video being that I'm only into stills.

+Stephen Gibb Its true but one you try some sony a7sII you will be stunt by the magnification and all the information the finder. It will become a real standard soon.

+Stephen Gibb Honestly speaking, I have used both OVFs and EVFs, and I prefer (high quality) EVFs. That's just my opinion, but I'm just saying that I did what you suggested and that's what I came away with.

+Rationalific I shoot football with a Sony A77 II which has an EVF viewfinder. The problem with the EVF is that when you are shooting a runner zig-zagging down the field, the viewfinder only shows the last captured image until you shoot the next image. At 8 FPS, it is difficult to follow the runner although 12 FPS is much better. This is a real problem for fast moving sports. I've been using Sony EVF for several years and after shooting with the OVF in Nikon bodies, I still can't get used to the Sony EVF for sports. I do prefer EVF for general shooting though.

+Michel Fourkas Will do!

+Jason Lanier thank youuuuuu 😊

Watch out leica :-)

I saw a video of RX1R ll the Sony A7R2 has better Quality video then the RX -(A7 looks more rich compared to the RX washed out -But that was only one video that I watched) Photo Quality idk

+lasarith2 thanks for the input 😊

+Michel Pichel if you are a youtube reviewer then yes hahaha :D

Are you sure you know that Sony "pays" him?

Stephan Hess If it is a commercial, than be open about it. Typical Sony move

+Michel Pichel I do not know about anybody else with regards to the Sony paycheck. As for me I am getting paid around $12 million (US Dollars) from Sony to use their gear. ;)

The problem with that assumption is that it doesn't allow for people who just enjoy the device.

+Charles Wood LOL

+Charles Wood "Mood".

I always expose the skies brother. If I wasn't in the middle of nowhere I would've simply added an LED light to bring me in exposure. Not a big deal.

Charles Wood because he is outdoors in when the sun is low.

Because that's the way he wants it. How's that difficult to understand.

+Ben McCartney . We're talking about photography here. Anyway, I own GH4, together with A7r2, A7m2, A7s, A7s2 (just saying about Sony). Believe me, GH4 is a good camera, but very far in IQ from A7r2.. Not speaking about High ISO then..

+Alessandro Caporale Jason Lanier was discussing video in detail so Bens comments regarding video are totally fair game. If you bothered to watch the video, you would know exactly why Ben commented because he directly addressed one of Jason's points.

+Ben McCartney Yhea , but he's right about it being a tax classification issue. So how does the GH4 able to do that, is it classified as a video camera?

If memory serves correct, it's classified as a "hybrid." Legally, that very well might be enough to get around the tax issue, but I'm not a lawyer so don't hold me to it.

+josh h I believe there is a 29:59 min limit on cameras sold in Europe because of the tax. Everywhere else in the world there is no limit on recording times of the GH4 (or its predecessor, the GH3).

Sure. Just have them sign up for a workshop with me..:)

+shadowjfd I don't think they had a hard time with it per se, I think they just have more stringent requirements. As a matter of fact, the ending comments were quite favorable, there just seem to be shortcomings when using the system for sports. Just like there are shortcomings when using it for video. "While many of our sample images are usably sharp by sports photography and news publishing standards, the issue at hand became more about what was in focus - and why the camera chose which target it tracked. There is no doubt that the a7R II delivers exceptional autofocus performance relative to the mirrorless market, but given the drawbacks of AF mode / area implementation, a lack of direct AF point control, cramped ergonomics and distracting screen blackout, next time I shoot the Seahawks, I'll take my trusty DSLRs.

+kingalias it's exceptional focussing relative to the whole camera market. You do have control over AF point, though you just have to press one button before you get to move it around. You can configure the controls on the camera to your own needs. It's also possible to do back button focus.

+Alan Newman the fact of the matter is the issue is for a very niche market. Sports photography is a very demanding, expensive and small market. Focusing of the A7r II is amazing, just not amazing when compared to the D4s or 1Dx. They noted that you could control your AF point in the review, and said it didn't work as nicely as smoothly for tracking as a DSLR does, and to get good AF-C tracking, they need to use wide-af, but that led to less precision of what target was going to be chosen (often the closest subject, which might not have the ball). It's like comparing a high-end laptop to a mid to high-end desktop computer. Sure, you can edit video on a high-end laptop, but you're going to get better results using a mid-range/high-end PC to get the job done. overall, the review seemed rather unbiased, and he even noted where DSLRs would fail in similar situations "Sadly, the repetitive color palettes of player uniforms, overall flat scene contrast and the underwhelming reach of a 200mm from NFL sideline distance meant an impossibly difficult scenario for the a7R II's 'WIDE' autofocus mode. It really struggled, moving around the frame apparently at random as it tried to identify a subject. WIDE mode only uses distance information to subject track - which means it can be easily confused by other subjects at a similar depth as your initial target. To be fair, many DSLRs work similarly, but pro-photographers will rarely use a complete 'auto' area mode out on the field. Instead of sports, the a7R II’s WIDE autofocus mode is probably best used in a scenario where a single subject fills a majority of the frame, and where you don't need pinpoint precision."

+Alan Newman www.dpreview.com/articles/5684109129/lucky-number-7-shooting-pro-sports-with-the-sony-a7r-ii read the review if you haven't. It seems like a pretty fair review, and consistent with other non-biased reviews I've read of the A7r II. The A7rII is an awesome camera, it's just not perfect in every situation. I look forward to seeing what Sony brings to the market next year (both lenses and/or bodies).

Whether you're sponsored or not people accuse you of taking handouts, getting paid off, money under the table, etc anytime you put out a positive piece on gear. People have a hard time believing that a person actually likes something. Strange.

Jason Lanier Don't get me wrong mate, I love your work. I probably should have articulated that a little better, sorry. You being an ambassador for Sony camera's would naturally lead someone to believe that your video was a paid announcement. I have followed your work for a long time, as I have many togs, there was no disrespect intended :)

+Superformance72 fair enough..:). All I know is that people were accusing me of being bought out long before I was a Sony Artisan. So the fact that I've heard it no matter what I do leads me to believe that people will always accuse you of being disingenuous when discussing gear. So you just have to assume that's part of what people do and stop giving a crap.

Jason Lanier :P

damn, i cant take this video seriously anymore. I was just about to pull the trigger

very weird indeed, though the glasses on his head and the clouds very slowly moving, show that it's real

Thank you!!

Leggy tech? Turning on a dslr focus and shoot combined takes less than 1 second, the same on a a7rii takes 4-5secobds

Bruno Lazaro How often does the general consumers would actually need that 1 set start up? not that often. Even people just leave the power switch on pretty much all the time.

+Intel & Nvidia SUXXZZZ!!! I need fast focus on low light situations constantly. Also need to swap focus modes, white balance and other options etc quickly and frequently which the Sony requires digging on the menus and most full frame dslrs have dedicated buttons to.

Bruno Lazaro I can recall clearly that you can do similar functions with the Sony too. You can set certain buttons to do that specific functions as well. What excuses are you coming up this time.

Bruno Lazaro But let's just say that DSLR and Mirrorless has their own target audience. You don't come and comment shit about tech. Oh and BTW, tell me if most DSLR has WiFi and NFC for convenient connectivity. I make use of those to share photos to my friends if they really like the quality photos when most DSLR don't have one. And also the durability of the actuation is almost double than a pro DSLR rated at. Go figure...

As someone below, in the know, that he's sponsored (PAID) by Sony...ho ..ho..ho. He's a f*cking talking head for the walkman company.

I can't stand the super low exposure on this video

Im a photographer, and I hate blown highlights - nothing looks more unnatural, so this exposure looks good.

HogbergPhotography I'm a photographer too, and I hate when my subject is a stop or two underexposed. Seriously, take a screen capture into photoshop and adjust its exposure. These highlights are nowhere near blown out.

I'd venture to say you've never used the A7Rii because all of our comments are the typical talking points that people just read online.

your video just doesnt mention the pros and cons of both systems its obvious dslrs will be history in years time but still mirrorless cant match the simplicity, ease of use, processing power, ruggedness of a dslr, you have dedicated talor made dslrs for each kind of user nowadays and the very best glass in the market. the a7rii is still a very expensive hypster toy with too much bells and whistles.

+Simão Ribeiro I've used DSLR and film cameras for 25 years. I've used Mirrorless for the past 2 years. You're clearly just reading specs off a blog. Seriously man, you don't know what you're talking about.

you dont eaven bother to answer, forget it...

Answers: have you used the 70-200 f/2.8 Canon with the metabones adapter? No, I'd venture to say you haven't. Lag? Imperceptible. Auto focus? Works awesome. What else?

So what's your point?

+Joshua Bokelman Probbably being sarcastic

shadowjfd Indeed.

+白海塔 "im a professional shooter who has shot all over the world""i have travelled all over the planet""i have done more wide variety and probably most shutter actuation than any person on this planet" "best photographer in LA, much bragging rights? but looking at his photos, im convinced he's bs. all his followers are novices

+complicatedjason and yet nobody knows who you are...lol

I know I'll have the same resource, cause I haven't told my wife I bought it! Hahaha

+이런저런 There is no camera capable of something like that. All is a interpretation, a binary code ._. in our days. Be more specific.

+Zvaigzne Alcerreca (coyot3) There a many cameras capable of more natural color then Sony, in fact most of them. Maybe even Nikon :)

+이런저런 well if you are talking about more likely colors to the ones we see i agree on that

+Zvaigzne Alcerreca (coyot3) Yep.

+이런저런 its a digital camera dude. a machine. only our eyes can get close to "natural colors" maybe in the year 2400 (if we don't end up killing our selves) we might have a device that can record better.

Thank you brother..:)

+Ivanovich Biggenden There is a proverb: Better is the enemy of good enough. In photography, this is good advice for your wallet. Get what meets most of your needs. You can rent better when you really need it.

+Moko Arlyana Thanks I Agree Moko, at the moment there is nothing I can not shoot with my D810 or my 5D3 I guess what I was saying is that it would not be financially viable to change systems , Peter Adams Wrote Photography is not about cameras gadgets and gizmos its about Photographers, a camera doesn't make a great picture any more than a Typewriter writes a great novel....

nope youre just high lol

Do you get the mirrorless deal now?

@JA DouglasI'like to look at those portraits, if it is possible

Thank you..:)

Devin Chaves lol glad you came to a camera review video for the hat and sunglasses...:)

Why? And from Which model to which model? :)

Before you make the switch consider renting or borrowing your Sony model and trying it out for a few days. It takes a while to get comfortable with shooting with Sony from Nikon (I own the D7000 and a6000). I shoot with my Sony when I need something small and light but Nikon just feels more familiar and natural to me.

loving mine every bit!

Dan Saghin lol
