Awesome stuff Magic..the short and practical answer to the question is it worth it in 2024?..in my opinion is no..the main reason for me is the price point!..that fact that this camera is still over $3K US is crazy!..and yes its more than capable of course..but that price point I can't get over..the tech is older and AF, processor, 42 megapixel is a nice sweet spot..etc but for that amount you might as well get the newer bodies in terms of everything tech wise and great overall camera which is like the A7R5...now if it was ever on sale or Sony decides to drop the price by even half..than only maybe it would be worth it..hahaha me personally I hope they do bring this camera back to get into the "X100 market"..

Give me a 24-70, 2,0 and I'm in. I shoot with a 35mm, 50mm and a 85 mm and that's mainly it. I prefer to take pictures with 2,0, so the zoom lens is just not for me. Thanks for the comparison though, very informative :-)

Can't the A7IV shoot silent shutter? I'm rarely if ever panning, so why can't I use silent shutter for a Wedding?
@MagicWeddingPhotographer2 күн бұрын
You can use silent shutter on A7IV. You just need to be careful but not about the rolling shutter, but banding under artificial light
@thomhayesimaging2 күн бұрын
Just imagine, this camera, but with a modern processor, built in ND, weather sealing, dual card slots and a decent evf. Given the Fuji/leica success, I can’t believe Sony aren’t already on the case?
@k0pper2 күн бұрын
I think they’re leaning into the A7CII and CR and their newish pancake G lenses. I don’t think they’re taking Leica and Fuji shooters as they’re pretty brand loyal. I shoot Sony if I’m doing any work, but for personal stuff I have a Q2 I love, but I would be tempted by a new ultra compact full frame Sony.
@thomhayesimaging2 күн бұрын
@@k0pper it sounds petty, but the flip out screen on the a7cr is an instant deal breaker for me. I want a compact camera, a subtle one. To shoot from the hip with the a7cr means making it twice as wide, and also just clumsy and weird. A flip up screen is an absolute must for a compact camera like this. It’s not a small thing, it really changes things, a flip out screen fundamentally changes the way this camera can be used. Shooting from the hip for subtle street, or documentary weddings is invaluable. As it stands, the q3, rx1rii and x100 series are the only options, and the Sony and Leica are the only full frame options, and the Sony is the only one that coooould be affordable. The only reason it’s so expensive is because it’s so sought after, because the Leica is the only competition. I did consider the A7Cii for a bit, but honestly, if Sony decide not to go through with this, then Fuji has it in the bag: flip up screen, and built in ND outdoes the pros of the A7Cii, in my opinion anyway. It’s so tricky!

I got the RX1r II this week, used in mint condition. Coming from the a7r V it almost feels like shooting analog, it renders beautiful images with that soft color contrast but sharp edges. The feel of the build is amazing and luckily I have quite small hands. Getting used to slowing down and not relying on the ai autofocus! The position of the pop-up EVF is so much better than on the a7r and a7c.

I use the A7RV too. How does this camera work alongside it when you’re shooting them together? Does the Zeiss glass make the images look noticeably different when you view the set as a whole?

I would love to see a new version of this camera. I don’t know when they ended the production but the oldest ones are from 2016. It was just presented in 2015, but because of a construction issue, customers have to wait till 2016. The thing is, I want to have new one with this old sensor. So they could leave everything line it was, but just updating it with the new co-processor for the better AI and some better video specs. But the rest, leave it like it is/was.
