I just bought the A7cii for travel/video & backup to my A7RV. I truly love the form factor and aesthetics of this design. A few things to add; the "AI" really makes a lot of difference compared to the A7IV not only in AF and Subject Tracking (BTW, I mapped my back button to Subject Tracking. Now, you can lock on to a subject and recompose; who needs a joystick), but the AI processor has improved the AWB so much so that skin tones are far better. I don't think that the rolling shutter challenge will change until we get a much faster sensor installed (maybe stacked one day). For me, if I had 4k60 full sensor read - that would do it for me (I'm hoping that the A7V has it).

Yea the af is faaaar better. I’ve had the zve1 since pre launch and that was the first camera I tried it on and I was floored. It maps me so good that it’s ridiculous. Sony is always pushing the AF to new heights, and just their tech in general. I hadn’t thought about the skin tones being a lot nicer, thank you for that input. Will do some tests ☺️

hey, I have a question for you because I heard that the Sony a7c ii is "more plastic" than the first version a7c, something like the zv e1. Does this only apply to the black version or is the silver version also made of the same material as the black one?

Is the difference in autofocus between A7IV and A7CII a dealbraker? Im thinking which one of those two cameras to choose to upgrade from apsc to full frame. i like to shoot portraits, sport, animals and ill have my first wedding in the summer. Also i have samyang 35-150 and the bigger body would probably feel more balanced with the lens than my current ZVE10 😂Thanks for any tips!

To be honest I think it’s the best full frame for street photography and casual family trips but it can also give you amazing professional looking videos all with in a small body with a fair price It’s a full frame A6700 To be honest if I had to choose I’d go for the A6700 cause I like the 1.5x crop factor and the cheaper APS-C lenses available for it

I have a nikon d750 - Im old skool and love the camera but I want a smaller size ff. This looks perfect, its just the EVF which puts me off. I read that it really is impossible to upgrade the EVF with a camera that size because of minimal OLED sized panels. You not mention this or did I miss it?

Damn, why did they max out the shutter speed at 1/4000 of a second? With the a7IV you can shoot at f/1.4-f/1.8 in bright light because the shutter goes all the way to 1/8000.

I'm not gonna lie, because of the size I keep thinking about the A7C line up a lot lately, but I have already to many cameras right :D Would you personally take a hybrid body like the A7C II / a6700 or would you rather take two bodies setup with you e.g. ZVE1 for video and A74 (because of bigger EVF) for photo? Enjoyed your content as always - have a nice weekend with your family my friend! :)

If you are a beginner and would like to take decent photos SOOC, you can consider choosing the Fuji. A little bit cheaper as well. However if u want interchangeable lens and full frame a better AF go for Sony.
@VivianLund 3 ай бұрын
I have a Fuji x100v and a Sony a7c. The Fuji is nice if you want to shoot jpeg and not process your photos, but the a7c is way more versatile with full frame in the same size body. Also the Sony lets you choose your lenses, the x100v is fixed!

Nice and compact body, but there's no getting away from the fact full frame lenses are larger. So while the body is lighter compared with the majority of full frame cameras, you're still lugging around those larger lenses.

I used to have a sony rx100 and it was a beast. Tiny in your pocket. And we all know that the best camera is the one you have in your pocket with you. And considering I like astrophotography and low light the extra sensor size is amazing. I can recover insane details from ultra dark scenes (*cough* lightroom ai denoise *cough*). All in all I am in love but I am here to say, to all the new entries photographers watching this, get the 6700! You will get tired of a bigger camera with bigger and expensive lenses!

Hello Hello from France. I agrée with you with the crop factor. For me one slot don t a problem (like a6700, zve1….), Jason Morris Shaw that 1080 120 in full frame was équivalent to 4k 120 of fx30 (so a6700), so i prefer the a7c2 with it s great Isis, great 4k 24….than apsc.

I guess it has the same limitations as the A7iv : 10 FPS is compressed RAW only with EVF refresh rate at 10 FPS, 8 FPS compressed RAW with normal EVF refresh rate, 6 FPS with uncompressed RAW... My experience with the A7iv for sports is that 6 FPS is the right choice if you like sharp pictures anyway. Oh, and shutter noise is nicer than the A7iv's probably because it's only half a shutter (first curtain electronic ). You should compare with the A7iv in that mode.

So I guess with A6700, there isn’t significant different in photography, but A7C2 is more advance (7 stops ibis) in video. I mean apsc and full frame these day if U post the results side by side, people won’t care and can’t compare again that are those photos came from apsc or full frame. unless U write the meta data then people be like “aah this full frame is better” I am sick of “full frame mindset” 😂
