I went A7CR. Got so used to the A7RV and love the smaller form factor. Going to pick up the 40mm G or Samyang 45/1.8 as main driver for that smaller cam. Another reason to go for the bigger 61MP sensor is you get a lot of pixels even in S35 mode (so go ahead an use your smaller lenses) without degradation.

Sony a7iv was my dream camera but after this came out I think this might be my next camera instead. I do prefer the bigger body on he a7iv but the main reason I would get a7cii is for the ai features , autofocus , and the Lut integration but the a7iv has a better viewfinder + Analog stick and more memory slots ,this is honestly a tough decision lol but so far I’m leaning towards a7cii unless I can find a solid deal on a used a7iv.

Hi, I have a similar setup (a7cii/ 24m. 2.8) without a nisi 49mm nd filter. I'm going on a bikepacking tour soon and am thinking about which nd filter I should buy. I want to keep my setup as minimal as possible. Do you think for Video Nisi 1-5 variable should be enough? or should I buy + 5-9 as well? and do you also use mist filters? Cool Shoots btw.
@VictorLaforteza 18 күн бұрын
I think 1-5 is good! On high noon or super bright days, you might need to be around f8 with 5 stops on the VND. If you need that shallow depth of field 5-9 is a must but I get by with 1-5 just fine!

Been debating the A7cii vs. the ZV-E1 for a compact video camera, I am wondering if I would lose out on anything by going A7Cii? Would I lose dynamic range (besides low capability)?
@VictorLaforteza Ай бұрын
A7cii is sharper as well due to oversampled 6k to 4k but zve1 would be soft and pleasing with a slight bump in dynamic range and extreme low light. Other than that very similar if you expose well and grade it! It’ll be up to what you need from a camera! For me the deciding factor was the 33mp photos and EVF. Makes a good hybrid camera

For the camera I have the following lenses: Sony 24mm.f.2.8 G / Sony 40mm.f.2.5 G / Sony 35mm.f.1.4 GM / Sony 50mm.f.1.4 GM / Sigma 17mm.f.4 DG DN and Sigma 90mm .f.2.8 DG DN. For Sony GM lenses, the little grip from Sony has on the camera when I use them, but I don't use them very much, as they are not small and easy to carry like the other very small lenses 🙂

Do you think a6700 is still comparable to a7c ii?
@VictorLaforteza Ай бұрын
Yep! I’d say the only difference would be a slight better low light on A7Cii but it’s so close that getting a6700 would be the better choice for budget.

Isn't the 26.8ms rolling shutter a bit too painful at 4K@24fps? I mean even 15ms is kinda a lot, but of course talking from an A7SIII perspective which I wished it had faster readout as well than 8.7ms. That's comparable to A7Rv's 8K rolling shutter speed and as much as the crop mode 4K@24fps on it. Overall, I would opt for the A7CR for that form factor, but A7CII is still a brilliant camera.
@VictorLaforteza 2 ай бұрын
I don’t mind it and when I was shooting client work with the a7iv I never had a client say “that rolling shutter is noticeable” these are campaigns that have fast panning action like motocross, dancing, and racing. I think it’s very noticeable to us filmmakers but I also think it’s just us looking for perfect cameras 😂 cameras nowadays are wild!
@Bo_Hazem 2 ай бұрын
@@VictorLaforteza Yeah for client work it won't matter. I'm more of a wildlife filmmaker myself, and shooting my documentary film about biting midges here, even at 7.7ms of 4K@120fps at an extreme total 7x magnification, I could notice some minor jello-effect sometimes. Not sure if you gonna find someone else complaining about A7SIII/FX3 rolling shutter though, haha. Here's the film (English version) if it's something you care about and wanna see these annoying insects up close: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jNahqdGYltmxgWw.html Highly considering the A9III but for now I need to get the A7Rv as a photography beast for weddings and as a great B-cam using 8K for interviews for multi-cropping options.
@VictorLaforteza 2 ай бұрын
@@Bo_Hazemah yes I see it!! That’s definitely a no for wildlife. I could see why the a9iii with that global shutter would be perfect for it! Thanks for sharing it’s good to know the fx3 / a7siii still shows rolling shutter on longer focal lengths / macro for wildlife.
@Bo_Hazem 2 ай бұрын
@@VictorLaforteza As far as I know, the Venice 2 has the fastest rolling shutter out there with less than 3ms. Both A1 and Z8/9 have like 4ms and 3.7ms respectively but in photo mode, in video they're more like 15ms or faster using pixel binning and other trickery, which can still look great to be honest. I think outside sport and wildlife, filmmaking is much more forgiving nowadays with how good gear has become. Dreaming of getting the Freefly Ember S5K if I can get some sponsorship on future docs! So far docs are just a complete money drain to me but it's my absolute joy and passion in life. Trying to learn from guys like you how to improve and be better with cinematography. Warm greetings!

The C series Sony cameras aren’t that great. It does what it does but not having all the fancy buttons like a regular full frame camera is a big turn off.

most will perform similar but if you're looking for a body change, Sony will definitely be a different experience. Some don't love the menu system, some are okay with it!
