I’m exactly who this camera is for. A guy who already owns an A7R3, but wants something new and updated that’s full frame. Someone that wants something APSC size for family and short trips but refuses to get an A74, and also refuses to get a newer R series camera due to the file size. I felt trapped and now this hits that perfect balance. Sony made it for me. 😀

@joshuanavi378 Ай бұрын

You should absolutely get it! I have the a7r3 and got this (just a week ago) as an addition instead of the a7iv. It has been great so far!

@evanc8919 Ай бұрын

@@joshuanavi378 Totally agree. I ended up buying one last Friday and love it so far. I’ve now made two separate camera bags. A large bag that has the A7R3, Telephotos lenses, and a Mavic 3Pro. Then a small light bag that has A7Cii, wide angle lens, 28-75, and Mini 3Pro. A bag for whatever my mood is that day. 😄

Great video. The best, clearest review I've seen of the A7C II. Any possibility that you could do one on the A7CR? I bought the A7CR over the A7C2 because I already owned the A7IV and thought the 26mp in crop mode would be very useful. I'm not sure yet if that was the best decision though but felt it gave me essentially a full frame and cropped sensor camera in one body.

Great video so professional! Makes it hard to choose: A6700 Zve1 A7c2

@cabellofatto Ай бұрын

Great vid. I suspect they limit the shutter speed to avoid the risk of bokeh clipping or other artifacting due to electronic-first mechanical shutter. Totally guessing.

@peterguman7298 Ай бұрын

thanks for the awesome video. I can connect this camera to a PC using the USB-C port vs the micro HDMI port correct? But, if I have an on-camera-mounted external monitor, I need to use the micro-HDMI port, correct? How fragile is the micro-HDMI port and if it breaks, it's expensive to repair?

Can you compare this to your A6700? Apples to oranges, I know, but those are the two I'm considering but they're so different! Thanks for this killer review!

@Pfagnan Ай бұрын

I also was contemplating these 2 cameras and watched a lot of KZfaq videos comparing. Full frame is the big advantage for A7Cii as is lack of overheating. It depends what kind of shooter you are too. Several people did overheating tests like Sean did here and the 6700 does overheat especially when shooting for long periods. I do concerts, choirs, stage plays and I have to be able to film for up to 2 hours at a time. So for me it’s a no-brainer. Cheers! 📸

@stkuj Ай бұрын

Sean...I don't know if you mentioned it but the A7cii is EFCS only vs full mechanical shutter (A7iv). IMO, I do not find this a deal breaker, but does make a difference for some. The end of the day, I do have this camera as a travel/backup & video camera to my main A7RV. Lastly, I personally love the aesthetics - its very Fuji x100vi - ish...

@AllThingsFilm1 Ай бұрын

Great commentary. I waited for the A7Cii to come out before considering my next full frame camera. But, given that the ZV-E1 is better for filmmaking, and comes in at the same price, the A7Cii has fallen off of my list of potential candidates for upgrading to. That being said, I am still looking at other brands for full frame cameras. The FX30 I have is so good, that I will likely hold onto it regardless if I get another camera. Unless Blackmagic comes out with a new camera with PDAF, then I might consider selling the FX30. Having used the BMPCC4K, I do sincerely miss their BRAW codec. It has the warmest, most film like look, straight out of camera that I haven't found in any other brand. But, I'm in no rush. I don't necessarily need a 2nd camera at the moment. But, when I do, I will be very critical in making the choice regardless of brand.

Thanks for the review. I didn’t really get what I wanted as a pure photographer really because there was zero discussion of that genre … mostly just video till past 20+ mins. Don’t want to be nasty and I got it for free as well but just saying so others know. Atb anywat

Heard that original A7c has better low light performance than A7c2?

@MrRafalEn Ай бұрын

Does A7C II have anti flicker setting ? Something like Canon R8 so that it can automatically sync with artificial lights to remove banding ? This is very helpful with cameras that don't have full mechanical shutter. To be honest that is the biggest flaw of this camera.

@WoMoGuide Ай бұрын

It does

@MrRafalEn Ай бұрын

@@WoMoGuide Is it available for both photo and video ?

@WoMoGuide Ай бұрын

@@MrRafalEn In photo there‘s an „anti-flicker shoot“ setting which does things automatically. There also is an option to activate „variable shutter“, which gives you more fine-grained control over shutter speeds (as in, you can choose comma values such as 1/121.7). In video, you only get the latter.

@MrRafalEn Ай бұрын

@@WoMoGuide That’s a great news. I think I will exchange my R8 for smaller A7C II. Thank you.

There may never be an A7V. Rumor guy Andrea Pizzini hints on a merging of the FX-3 and the A74. Just a rumor. I'm done with buying bodies, got what I want, the a6700 and A7CR. Now on to trying to photograph bees at my blooming lemon tree. Wish me luck, these guys never stand still.

i don’t really love that everything is just a small crop, active steady shot+breathing compensation+4k 60fps crop sounds like a huge amount of crop 😅 but gonna buy the camera anyways to see
