I'm currently using the Sony APSC camera in combination with the Sigma 16mm f1.4 and the Sony 11mm f1.8 lenses for capturing wide-angle shots of the dance demo. These shots are initially shared in a horizontal format on KZfaq. Then I crop them into a vertical orientation for posting on Instagram. The ability to achieve 4k 60fps 10-bit has become increasingly crucial for me. I'm considering upgrading to the A7IV (A7CII) camera along with the Sony 11mm f1.8 lens for shooting in 4k at 60fps. Additionally, I'm looking at the Viltrox 16mm f1.8 lens. Can I expect these to be suitable for my needs? Will the Viltrox 16mm f1.8 on FF beats the Sony 11mm f1.8 APSC on A7IV/A7CII? I couldn't find any comparison on this one - is the bokeh changes significally? Given my desire to enhance video quality and bokeh.. should I simply do everything to get A7SIII + 14-24 Sigma 2.8? Sony 11mm Ariel & Leticia - Dance Monkey - Lambada Mastery - Demo 6 - Warsaw 2023 - KZfaq Sigma 16mm (I wasnt able to make the nice looking vertical version) Ariel & Leticia - Bem Conchem - Lambada Mastery - Demo 3 - Warsaw 2023 - KZfaq I'll appreciate any help or feedback related to the videos/topic

Hi Mark, This is Nick, from Sydney. I really enjoy your videos, and I have learned so many things from you. I jumped into photography two years ago as an amateur looking for some pro-quality work as a hobby rather than as a professional. I currently have the Sony ZV-E10 with four APS-C lenses (Sony E 11mm f/1.8, Sony E 70-350mm f/4.5-6.3 G, Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8, and Sigma 16mm f/1.4). I am thinking of upgrading to either the Sony A6700 or the Sony A7C II, so I would love to see a video comparing those two cameras. I am wondering if you could make such a video or at least give me your thoughts about it. Keep doing such a good job. 👍

The a7iv is for someone who does proffesional work and the a7cii is the a7iv made compact for travel or a influencer to get great quality and all the extra AI will help someone who doesnt know much to be able to get good video with the help of Ai. I think also if you get deeper in the settings the IV got 10 bit vs 8bit on the cii which again, i think the iv is made to push the quality even more, in the first video comparison i think the iv looked more cinematic. I went for the iv and i love it. And great review.

Mark, I watched all your videos in the last couple of days - I appreciate all the input. I get an educator's discount so I can get an A74 for $2248 (arrived yesterday). So, you are looking at like a $50 difference! I was thinking of getting two cameras and had ordered, received, returned the Sony A6700 (though I liked it, was thinking about waiting for the Sony A7Cii). Now, I can keep the A74 and pre-order the A7Cii (I had owned the A7C and thought the grip wasn't quite right and the EVF was weak - both updated in the A6700 and the A7Cii). The only lenses I own are the Sony 24mm F1.4 GM and the Sony 200-600mm G OSS (I shoot birds) so I have room for any direction. I was thinking of keeping the A74 just because of the Sony 200-600 lens, but I could get two Sony A7Cii camera (get one of each!). What do you think? What other lenses if I stay full frame (was thinking Sigma 28-70, Tamron 28-75)? Thanks!
@erg1450 9 ай бұрын
Robert, I have several GM lenses (including the 24 1.4) , and also have the Tamron 28-75, this lens is excellent and would be on the same level of the GM series. My favorite lenses (mostly family events and portraits) are: Sony 35 1.4, Sigma 50 1.4, Sony 135 1.8 (the best lens I've ever owned) and Sony 100-400 G (for sports). I shoot them with the A7IV, just ordered the A7CR to complete my set, they complement nicely (I think the new grip for the A7CII/CR will be a must when using large lenses), the CII with grip would be $2,350, the CR comes with the grip, so, price difference is $650, and you get better video at 4K P60 (1.1. top vs 1.5) and a ability to crop to your heart content, also, I tested extensively the A7RV. vs the A7IV and the IQ for portraits of the R sensor, in my opinion and observation, is a bit better than the A7IV

Hi Mark ! First I would like to thank you for all yours videos ! You help me choose the Sony ZV-E10 which is a great camera, I love it ! But as I'm a streamer, I always wanted to do 4k60p stream with a good camera ( hoping I can lol ). The thing is, I heard about overheating and I do 6-8h stream. And at 30 degres, I was wondering if both camera would take it. And the A7IV was my first choice because of it’s versability ( I also love photography ) and I want something thay can do all of that ! The thing is, autofocus is something I like because on low light, the ZV-E10 can loose it sometimes. I was wondering for streaming is where a real difference between the A7IV and the A7C II ? Or should I go with something else ? I'm so confused as there's planty of camera ahah. Thank you for your reponse !

For 8 hrs of 4k60 - the best thing to go with is the fX30 (or FX3 if it’s in the budget). An A7Cii or an A7IV “might” be able to do it - but it’s asking a lot. If you get a Ulanzi cooling fan the A7Cii and A7IV are more viable options. Another possibility is a used A7SIII. That is still a great photo camera even at 12 mp and it won’t overheat in 4k60

A74 might go for 40 minutes at 4k60 before shutting down. Then when you press record again another 20minutes then 5 minutes each time with battery door open.

@MarkBennettCameraCrisis 7 ай бұрын
Honestly - you can't do wrong with either. The HDMI full size is for hooking up external monitors (usually for video). It's more reliable and less chance of breaking. You would use 1/8000 mechanical shutter when it's really bright outside because sometimes 1/4000 won't be enough. You can do that with electronic, but that might be an issue if it's a fast moving subject like a car (because you can get rolling shutter). With portraits it shouldn't matter much. I think you'll likely be better off with the A7C II because it has the latest tech, better autofocus, and is a bit cheaper. You probably won't mind the HDMI and you won't need the 2 card slots.

Hi Mark, do you really need the Joystick for a7cII or its fine without it? Thats the only thing I am confused with. I am good with a7cII but with the a7iv compared with a7cii im really confused. My plan is to travel around and do more of a video thing. Weight won’t matter to me as well. So 300$ difference today which a7iv is much expensive which one would you recommend for me?

Im just worried that the A7CII doesn't have 2 card slots. Thats my only worry. I really want all the new ai stuff and importable luts but there isn't a sony camera thats like the a7iv with that new stuff yet. Do you think it'll be safe to use the Sony A7CII at weddings and stuff with one card slot? Can you set the creators app to backup photos to your phone in real time?
@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Ай бұрын
you can’t really backup in real time to the creators app because it’s very slow. I’d rather get the A7iv for weddings with the two card slots, and the AI autofocus won’t come into play as much with weddings. it’s big with tracking vehicles animals, and birds. With people, the A7iv is excellent. For LUTs, you’re usually looking at an external monitor anyway and you can load LUTS into those. The A7RV actually has ai features (but not the LUT loading). A lot of people don’t care and use the one card slot because it’s rare that something goes wrong. But personally, I couldn’t take that chance.
@FooksTechnology Ай бұрын
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Okay, thanks for the response! Yeah, I feel I can live without the AI stuff for now. Getting the Sony A7iv would probably be the smarter choice. Plus, I could always upgrade to the A7V once it comes out. You dah best!

Hi Mark, can one compensate the rolling shutter in post production? Thx!!😊
@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Ай бұрын
if you run the gyro-data through catalyst prepare or gyroflow, yes. But these two cameras have workable rolling shutter. if you’re really concerned about it, just use apsc crop mode - rolling shutter is much better that way

The AI Autofocus is way better. Totally worth selling your a7iv. On the sad note, Sony doesn’t upgrade firmware hense selling the a7iv is the best option. A7cii pared with the a6700 best of the best 😊

Why does the low light performance seems to be so much worse on the A7Cii? Here for instance: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oc5xi6yJqpq7ZZs.html Did you use different apertures on the lens or is there really such a difference, camera wise?
@MarkBennettCameraCrisis 9 ай бұрын
when you get into extremes like that, the cameras can vary a little as they hunt for focus. But there does appear to be a less less artificial noise reduction on the a7cii. Sony has been doing that lately and allowing you to do your own noise reduction if necessary instead of baking it in like they used to

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I see that it's always difficult to judge as a viewer with youtube compression applied. But I'd say, one is having a hard time trying to recover the details on the A7cii. Look at the structure of wooden wall at the end of the backyard or the shadow of the window frame/mullion back on the left, or the structure of your forehead - they are virtually absent on the A7cii.

awesome review and comparison. I think Sony is confusing the heck out of everybody with that many bodies and not enough firmware upgrades. On top of that, there are more headaches from Canon and Nikon as all have similar bodies. I want to upgrade my camera and leaning towards the A7IV, Really like the 33mp sensor and Dual Card, but The headache is A7CII with the new tracking. Canon R6II and the new Nikon ZF is super nice with at least dual card slots. Why Sony, Why? Sony seems to always disappointing with many lacking features that can be put in. Anyway. sorry for the long comment. would it be possible to make a comparison of the R6II, Nikon Zf and A7CII?
@danielbogos263 7 ай бұрын
I give you some advice. If you want to buy a7 iv, buy it. Trust me, you will not have regrets. In general, the sony cameras, especially their software is well done and robust so rarely you need an upgrade. A7 iv is a killer like some nikon and canon cameras. But if you want sony, go ahead, buy some nice samyang or sigma cheaper lenses and shoot. You will have fun. Don't think too much about the gear. A7 iv is already a great and powerful camera. I did have the sony a7 iii and oh boy, i miss that camera so much because of all the things I managed to create. I would buy the a7 iii again😅😅. So a7 iv is even better.....easy choice.

I’m reading that the EFS (electronic first shutter) affects the quality of bokeh. Can you test that?
@MarkBennettCameraCrisis 9 ай бұрын
it just means that sometimes when lenses are wide open (ex f1.4) first curtain shutter can cause bokeh balls to be cut in half with a slow sensor. So you will be fine with this camera as it has a fast sensor

Its so interesting to see how the Sony A7CII & Sony A7CR compared to cameras they are based on. IMO, I believe the A7CII is an "upgrade" compared to the Sony a7IV. For the Sony A7CR I see it as a "downgrade" from the Sony A7R5. Generally speaking of course.

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis My take on the CR vs the RV, is that CR has additional features and cheaper at the cost of a limited EVF and screen and one and card slot...that is the $900 question that people needs to put in the balance based on their specific use cases , I am not a pro, and for me, the portability and additional features (i.e. able to load my LUTs in camera) and the price differential, the CR is the better option
