Great video, thanks. Seeing your newer videos, seems you ended up keeping the the6700? I rented the ac7ii for a bit comparing it to a new zve1. I’m addicted to the a7siii sensor - a7c ii didnt impress me much. A7c 2 grip kinda sucks and the images have a slight greenish tint that reminds me of what the a7iii kinda does. Eye cup on a6700 looks heaps better - funny it gets in the way of the hot shoe tho. Haha the flappy straps lol.

How is the interface to select focus since none have a joystick, i read they have touch for that but then if you use the viewfinder wouldn’t your face activate it ? Thanks

@ParadiseBizz 3 ай бұрын

I think as soon as you get close to your viewfinder it blacks out the display, so no activation there. You would use the center wheel similar to a joystick, that's not a problem. Even easier if you're shooting people or anything that is in the SUBJECT menu. The AF is so good that you can leave it on wide, the camera does the rest and always finds it's mark.

Which travel lenses for the A7C are you considering for your trip to Europe? There is no FF equivalent to the Sony 18-135 that I know of. For a two lens setup the Sony 20-70 F4 plus the Sony PZ 16-35 F4 or the Sony 70-200 F4 Macro looks a good and still compact and lightweight option to me. Alternatively, if you still have a A6xxx body, bringing a Sony 70-350 could be a good idea too

@paullafleur6112 5 ай бұрын

@ParadiseBizz Awesome. Thanks for the tip about the Tamron zoom. I had overlooked that lens. The Sigma compact primes are great lenses too. I’m not yet confident enough to travel with primes alone though. For my use case, I like to use primes for walkabout street photography. But when I am traveling somewhere where I will not return and I only have one chance of getting the shot, I prefer the flexibility of a zoom. Maybe that will change in time. I see some photographers capturing beautiful travel images with just a 28mm and 50mm prime setup, so I know using only primes can work. Anyhow, I enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.

@ParadiseBizz 5 ай бұрын

@@paullafleur6112 Thank you Paul. I totally understand you. I am not a fan of changing lenses while traveling. If you get dust or particle on your sensor, cleaning is not fun. This is why I chose the Tamron for my Mexico trip, because it has such a great range and it starts with f/2.8. The image quality is so much better than average zoom lenses offer. But I can see people traveling with only one or two fixed primes. After all, the world we see with our eyes is similar to 50mm. So I thought I can capture everything the way I see it. The disadvantage is clearly that I will miss out on things that are further away...

Thanks for this video, I have yet to decide between these 2 models. A small thing: in super 35 mode the a7c ii has only about 14 mpix, because you must divide 33 mpix not by 2 but by 1.5 x1.5 = 2.25.

What if i’ve been shooting full frames for more than 6 years, but leaning towards more on the budget yet powerful a6700 would the crop be a big change coming from a full frame shooter?

@ParadiseBizz 4 ай бұрын

I went through a similar process, selling my Canon EOS 5D MkII and going to a crop sensor. At first you won't miss the FF, because the a6700 delivers an amazing image quality. But after shooting a while with an APS-C cam and once you use a full frame again, you'll appreciate the FF very much. It is just this extra notch in imagae quality, in background, that makes your day. Still, the a6700delivers amazing results, you might not miss that FF

Is there an issue with the a6700 in regards to using an on board flash?? Apparently it can cause it to crash. Do you have any news on this and it might be resolved? This could be a massive deal breaker for me.

@Moshe_Dayan44 18 күн бұрын

Thank you for this very straightforward, concise comparison. I am not a professional photographer, but I am a quite avid amateur, especially now after the birth of my daughter (first child). Needless to say, I've been going bananas shooting with my Sony A6000/18-105 G lens combo, but I am very disappointed with how often the focus is pulled from her eyes/face by other objects while she's moving around, which is the style of photography and video I'm doing. So for me, a camera with the very latest Sony Bionz chip, and that killer autofocus is de riguer. It have come down to the question of whether I want to jump to full frame from APS-C, but I am aware of the much larger expense of full frame lenses, so I would probably only be buying one or two, probably zoom lenses if I need to. The A7C II and A6700 have this outstanding Bionz chip for autofocus and the other advantages, and they are both virtually identical in size and weight. Since I don't really need or care about 4K 120fps, in fact, I'm almost certainly going to film in 4K 24 or 30 fps, the video limitations of the A7C II don't bother me at all. Also, since I can use my current APS-C Sony 18-105mm G lens in APS-C mode on the A7C II, it can buy me a bit of time until I can get my first FF lens for it, and it opens the door to the world of FF lenses for the coming years. I just have to think about whether paying an extra $1,000 Canadian for the potential of a FF camera is really worth it. Since I think I will want to blow up some of my very best pics, especially panoramas, it may well be. Decisions, decisions!

@paulfedorenko2301 Ай бұрын

Interesting comparison. Very informative. I've been looking at both cameras as a possible upgrade from my current APS-C camera. I really don't care about video features, don't really shoot video except occasionally at family get-togethers. So from my perspective the two cameras are virtually identical in terms of features. The difference between 26 vs 33 megapixels isn't major, except that the latter would take up more room on my NAS. Creamier bokeh and better low-light performance sound appealing, though. So... What I'm really interested in is your opinion on the physical handling of each. I like that the a6700 has a bigger grip. It felt better in my hand at the store when I looked at it... But what's it like in long-term use compared to the a7c II? You mentioned going on vacation with the camera. Is there really a major difference between the two over the course of a day of shooting? So for me, it's going to come down to how the camera feels in the hand, as welll as the image quality. Oh... Cool cat.

@ParadiseBizz 13 күн бұрын

Hello Paul, I just returned from Germany and I will start creating videos soon again. Over the course of my trip I did not regret taking the A7C II with me. Yes, the a6700 has a better grip and feel in your hand. But the handling is very similar, while the image quality of the A7CII is superior. Pictures look amazing out of the camera without any editing applied. I took a 50mm lens with me and I took pictures of a girl and her horse - incredible. City images with a 20mm lens - amazing. Love my full frame camera

Thank you for your very nicely organized video. I actually have both cameras as well but also own several full size full frame Sony bodies so these are for travel mainly for me. Also I don’t shoot video so I’m discounting those advantages/disadvantages. You did not mention the fact that the A6700 has a full two curtain mechanical shutter while the A7CII only has a one curtain shutter so EFCS is the only mechanical option. This does appear to matter to some photographers. For me I’m not sure yet. Also if choosing your lenses carefully you can support both small and larger lenses on the A7CII giving you flexibility to optimize your kit for both size/weight and fast speed. So I’m leaning toward the great 33 Mpixel sensor and the CII. Take care.
