Love Jordan's face when he disagrees or is waiting to talk.

Their discussion at the end made me uncomfortable with them disagreeing.

This show is really getting better and better...we've got the Digitalrev TV, which is something like TopGear with cameras, we have Philip Bloom, who makes his reviews like piece of art. And then we have your show, which fits perfectly. I like that there is always this sort of "spark" between Chris and Jordan (just like in TopGear). I'd like to see something more than reviews though, some photo challanges? When both of you would pick one camera and then have some competition?

Chris is really trying hard to find things to dislike on this camera. I feel it's also because they've been reviewing a lot of Sony camera's lately. He's afraid to be seen as a Sony fanboy if he keeps praising their cameras lol. But this camera deserves the praise imo. Integrating IBIS is a substantial upgrade. Build quality is improved, better video codec and many smaller design problems of the original A7 have been resolved. Canon renews full frame cameras after many years without changing much. Sony did a lot in one year.

At 15:58 he rolls his eyes as he keeps getting interrupted by Chris Niccols lol

Cant believe m watching this in late 2022. Getting a deal with kit lens for 700USD, new seal packed. I lost my camera and i just do images and not any videos.

I love your reviews! They are the best out there, actually incorporating valuable info into every second.

Great video as always guys, Kyle was a welcome addition! Jordan, I was pleasantly surprised how good the FS7 looks even after compression on KZfaq... Cant wait to see your review of that incredible machine. :D

Excellent review. Thank you for sharing this.

Always great content coming from your videos, guys. Thank you for your work!

I love you guys, hands down the best camera related youtube channel out there! I like that you two don't agree on much, gives a wide and honest set of opinions on the products on display. Personally though i agree with Chris on one of the final comments about the high MP sensor needing to be on tripod.

this was an amazing and well rounded review, thanks!

Thanks for the timely review guys.

As always, fantastic video! Great job guys!

Great video as always. Thank you so much. Always very thorough in your reviews. Excellent work.

been waiting for this review! Thanks guys, great job :)

I honestly thought Jordon was going to thump Chris with that A7ii at the end

Another great review guys. Always enjoyable.

Absolutely awesome review!!!! Great great job guys!!!

i find your discussion in the end (where you disagree) very valuable for a viewer, it gives points of view of both of you, different perspectives to evaluate. love it.

Love the honest mixed feed back at the end. More of that. But hey, Camstoretv have always been about the honest review

One of your best reviews so far (I've seen). Continue with that "agree / disagree" finish in your videos - I like it.

Damn, 9 and a half years ago this dropped. Crazy

Thank you for always having thorough, straight to the point professional reviews. In a sea of rambling and terrible review videos yours are a breath of fresh air

always, thanks for your camera review! And I think I gonna buy one

You guys make brilliant reviews. I follow many product reviews closely and I'm a huge fan of how genuine your content and reviews are. Please continue making these reviews! I would love to also hear your take on some of the new full frame e-mount lenses by Sony.

Awesome review as usually!

I love the back and forth banter on this show. it's very balanced and not overly heated. I'm a canon user and I think the time is getting close to jump ship.

I think TCSTV show is getting better & better these day. Instantly this is my favorite show. Final things to say that Kyle taking very nice photo. :)

Really good review. Love the fact that you got a pro to test the camera. You should do that more often :)

Thanks for this video. A lot of information for people like me that would like to buy this camera. Great job as always.

These guys seriously have the most informative and practical camera reviews! I like Digital Rev for entertainment, but I trust these guys when I actually purchase gear. Thanks for the videos!

Canon user says mirror-less doesn't have enough dynamic range lol

I too am an avid Canon shooter and am always looking around at the competition to stay up to speed. Each release Sony makes is a step ahead of Canon at this point, but hearing from you guys and a field professional is very helpful. One of the by far greatest things about Canon, for me, has been that it works in absolutely every environment I shoot in: pouring rain, snow, extreme cold, extreme heat, disgusting humidity, harsh sand, etc. In all cases, my Canon 5D3, 7D2 are flawless performers. (The extra weather sealing on the 7D2 make me extra confident) Sensors aside because...honesty, I have yet to feel a Canon sensor hold me back in my work while countless internet hardasses think they're junk cameras, I just laugh. Working in gloves is huge. I still don't enjoy the looks of that scroll wheel like Chris pointed out...honestly a deal breaker when I think about it hard. The ergonomis/menus of the Sonys killed them for me in the past. Being able to easily operate every function on a Canon in gloves is a great thing for many real world situations I can find myself shooting in each year. Are Sony lenses weather sealed? That's something I'm not seeing advertised. These are things that don't impact the owning experience of many users, which is why it's nice to see ***** get his hands on one. I don't find myself in Antarctica, but he's pushing cameras to extremes that add enormous weight and credibility to his opinion. That comment on battery life?!?! Wow...what would I do when I fly in to a location that's near freezing?!?! Not work or keep swaping batteries all day? Great review!

now i decided to buy this camera. thanks for awesome review.

Thanks for fantastic review.

Thanks guys, as usual love the video.

Four years later this is still a great camera

Really enjoyable and quite informative review. Well done guys!!! And, sure, yet another great camera from SONY! I hope you sell them in truckloads ! Best wishe for the New Year to all of you @ The Camera Store!

I'm thinking of buying this camera

I love the debates between jordan and chris, haha so funny

Love the eye rolling at the end LOL

Excellent review.

please get him as well for an A7r II review!

Coming from a full-frame Canon system, I am seriously looking forward to having a similar image quality in a smaller body. And I think with this camera, I've just found it!

thanks for the great review..for the moment I'll stick to my 550D but definitely worth considering for the future.

Excellent job, I'm really liking the format and everything about the show. Please do one of these on the A77ii (two 7's!!).

Great camera !! Cant wait to get it

Chris and Jordan, I think you can amp up the agree/disagree bit some more. In Hawaii 5-O, Danny and Steve have carguments which is so popular with the viewers that the writers make sure they have them in every episode. DEFINITION: a cargument is a heated discussion while driving. Thanks for all of your reviews, I come here to find out what equipment is worth taking a closer look at.

Hello! Thanks for the review. It is great! Do you really think it is worth to go for II just for the stabilization system? Thanks a lot and please keep posting! Regards Carlos

Good discussion in your conclusions, both brought up valid points. It's refreshing to see you guys having different opinions. Looks like a good camera. Quick question... Are there any power management options that could help extend battery performance?

Getting this beast!

Amazing camera I can't wait to do some film work with one

The explanation at 14:39 where he compares 1/15th with SR on vs 1/40th with SR off is the most usable explanation of what Stabilization did for actual photos in the video :)

After all I've seen by you guys this year; 2 cameras have stood out (in my sphere of photography) the Lumix FZ1000 and the Sony a7 II, but with the a7s doing 4k, I'll wait for the v.2 in that... maybe Have a great Christmas and thankyou for your vids!!

Great review, can you advise if this is good for sports and wildlife?

Hi guys! Great reviews as usual! :) I'm thinking of getting 2 of these Sony A7 II to shoot documentaries with. Inside hockey arenas and other places.. Would you recommend this camera and if so, what lenses would you use for interviews and on the run shooting? Best regards, Mange

you guys nailed it about the a7r ii :)

Ha...Watched this to the end for the first time and I must say I actually thought Jordon was going to hit you with the camera! ;)

Chris has such a perfect hosting voice. I would think you did radio or heavy speaking roles before this channel. Great review and perspectives.

Really looking forward to your thoughts on the Sony FS7

Very concise and useful.

The Minolta α-7 Digital of 2004 was the first dSLR with sensor stabilization. After 10 years the Sony α-7 II of 2014 was the first full frame mirrorless camera with sensor stabilization too.

Great review. Some of the pictures KM took were amazing. although he does not seem all that taken with mirrorless cameras.

The footage looks great! I'm pretty darn stoked to see the FS7 in action, video wise. Will you guys do a dedicated review on it? I'm especially interested in seeing how well it can do filmlike footage.

I wish you would have covered more on the new video stabilization which is one of the breakthrough features on this promising camera.

why is he taking pictures of sticks with a $1700 camera?

Like your reviews guys!

Great review :-) Chris let Jordan finish his sentences!

maybe you could include the lens used ,along with stop-speed info ...thanks !

With the updates firmware up grades flexible spot and eye Af and continues focus tracking, it's a big improvement. Can't wait till they release the A7lll... !!!

I was so sure to get a Nikon DSLR until I watched this video. It's nice to have a Nikon pro talk about it's competitor's product. Now, I have two brands to choose from. Sony seems to have the latest technology everytime they intro a new camera. I'll probably get a Sony. Thanks for the great review. As always, love them.

Beautiful review! I just purchased a Sony A7 and am considering exchanging it for the A7ii. Will I be making the wrong choice? I need a good cam for street portraiture, good zoom, nice bokeh (shallow DOF) effect. Actually, perhaps may you please recommend a good lens for me without an expensive adapter? Thank you so much! I'm a semi-pro by the way.

The Sony a7II was introduced in 2014 one year after the introduction of the original a7 in 2013. So the advancement of sensor performance was not something impressive. The Sony a7III was introduced four years later in 2018 and that's why the sensor performance of the Sony a7III is so impressive. The only significant advantage of the Sony a7II is the sensor stabilization. Sony has a long tradition of sensor stabilization from its dSLR period. Even before the purchase of Minolta by Sony the Digital Konica Minolta Maxxum/Dynax 5D and 7D had sensor stabilization.

Hello Chris. I've been a fan of your reviews for quite some time now, and enjoyed this Sony A7II review as well....except for one thing...what is your obsession with "one-handed shooting"??? If one is interested in obtaining a high-quality photographic image, who the hell is going to shoot one-handed?? IMHO, that's insane. Also, you glossed over the fantastic Sony/Zeiss lenses that are native to this system, such as the superb 55 1.8 that was used here, plus the upcoming Sony 90mm f/2.8 G Macro, not to mention the new Zeiss Batis line. That said, I do appreciate your reviews, and sharing some of the good points of each system. Thank you!

Nice photos ,wish I had the artistic eye like that ..

No mention of what lens is being used here till 1/2 way through. Sony Zeiss 55 1.8.

Excellent review as usual gents. Slight dilemma, only purchased my A7 in August and very satisfied, but now suffering with upgrade fever. I usually shoot with the OSS FE24-70 lens so will I see a huge or any benefit in upgrading to the new model? I also take portraits with the FE55 1.8 and an old Canon FD 85 1.8. Usually on a tripod and with a remote. Again, will I see any benefit in upgrading to the new body. In terms of AF speed, I shoot with the A6000 when out with the kids so upgrading to the A7 mk2 for additional speed is not a priority. Usually skip a model before upgrading and I'm trying to convince myself that I don't need the Mk2.

Hey guys, Awesome insight on this camera. At one point you mention something about needing a 64gig card in order to take advantage of xavc-s @50mbps. Can you please explain if this is a definite yes, and why?

Hi Chris..great review..just wanted to know about the low light (high ISO performance) capability of A7 II. Is it comparable with that of the likes of Fuji X100T or XT1? Or even better than the Fuji X series? I am mostly into street photography and trying to understand which will fit my requirement best. Thank you!

Thanks so much for the review! I was waiting for this. Which type of adapter would you recommend to mount A-Mount lenses (is there an alternative to the Sony LA EA4?) and Canon lenses?

great video! tks

On the A7 II, can we increase the burst mode fps by disabling RAW or lowering the image quality?

I'm curious to find out why there wasn't much (have not seen the whole video yet) of comparisons between the A7ii and the A7s

a7 mark ii + sony 24-70 f 2.8, good enough for youtube video?

Thanks for this video. Is the camera weather/water resistant? Thanks.

Very nice review, props for the separation of stills and video comments, and the added canon shooter was interesting. I don't know if he genuinely liked the camera or was just trying to please the sony fans but didn't matter, he took some nice shots. Now that the price for the A7 is coming down, full frame will be available to even more people.

Thanks for the great review Interesting camera. Too bad that 5 axis stabilization isn't in the A7s

Would love to hear your views on lens that go perfectly with mirror-less cameras...especially a6000

felt the same way when i migrated from a 5dmkiii to an a7ii. it may look small but it felt right into my hands ( mind you i got big hands) also the fact that the 5dmkiii is heavy especially if youre using something along the lines of 70-200LII IS and youre planning to carry this around youll feel it ( and in my case suffering from a shoulder injury from just carrying the mkiii with the sigma 50 art) during night time the liveview does lose framerate but being able to shoot clear images steadily at even 1/2 was impressive considering i have the shakes/tremors. all in all i enjoy the a7ii and that it felt like using my mkiii once again and then some. my only gripe is that battery life so anyone whose interested in getting any a7 bodies i would suggest you to go get that spare battery!

A7ii VS A7Rii, My first camera what to pick? is it worth spending those extra money or save them and buy equipment for the cheaper one

I must agree with Jordan, I'm pretty good handheld down to 1/15 @ 200mm on a 70-200 f/2.8 VRII on my D810. That said, I don't rely on it often as most of my work involves flash. I don't find any blur when blending flash with ambient, though.

This video cracks me up

What lens did you use at yhe end of the video? What lenses would you recomend? Thanks!

Nice review, Thanks! I have a SONY NEX5 and it is def time to upgrade to a SONY A7II :-)

A7 M2 or A77M2? Which one would you recommend for enthusiast landscape and portrait photographer? Video recording is also important to me. Thank you for a replay.

Many thanks for all yours videos which are helpful. I have Canon m50 but i'm not happy with iso performance in low light. So i decided to upgrade to full frame kamera, which kamera du you recommend to by canon 6d mark ii or sony A7 ii?

Are you in a permanent state of winter in Calgary, always cold and freezing in your vidste, they are great though ;)

Great review, thanks. I've got a Nikon Full Frame and it's pretty heavy and looking for a smaller camera that I can take on trips in the future, so will definitely check it for myself. By the way, you seem very comfortable handling the camera with gloves, which is cool. Where can check out your gloves from?

Hello guys! Please have you tried the new Zeiss 16 to 35 mm lens? What are your thoughts about it? Is it good from 16 to 35, or is it better to have a 35 prime like a 35 ZM? Thank you for your answer and congrats for the good work! Cheers!
