Can anyone tell me what my best option would be for a camera for real estate photography and video ? Thank you 🙏🏽

Thanks for the news.

Masterstroke by Canon: offering better than the A1-2 with the R5m2 for 1/3 price less! Canon says: these specs are no flagship specs! Great move Canon. Canon just took the rug from under Sony’s feet! The problem for Sony is Canon is developing very fast. They are now ahead of Sony: how far ahead will Canon be in 2 or 4 years! Remember Canon said they want overwhelming market share in mirrorless. They are making it happen under our eyes. I am a Canon guy but it is my strategic mind that admirers the fight between these 2 Japanese companies. Sony already lost number 1 position in mirrorless, how low will they be in 5 years time? It is not about the sensor anymore! Fun to watch.

6% tax?🤣 no wonder I see random dudes filming drawers with 4x spares of cameras and lenses

Spot on about the price of the a1 II- it’s one thing to charge $6k for tech no one else has (a9iii), but tone deaf to charge $2k more than everyone else for tech that everyone has caught up to.

I still prefer primes: f1.8 n f1.4 I use EF hlasses on my R6m2 using meike drop-in-filter adapter This is way cost effective than my fear of using an adapter

A1 was overpriced as well, for Sony shooters this is just a rip off. I shoot Canon but I have a friend with the A1 and don't see why he has to pay over the top for a camera very similar to the R5 and now if he upgrades the A1 ii is way out of line with the R5 ii

Because of the high price from Sony, I am considering a Nikon or Canon camera, unfortunately, despite my great love for Sony

btw ive just tested you can load a1ii raws into imageing edge. just tested downloading a raw off dpreview

Hi I bought a Canon R5 mark 2 camera today. I turned on the camera, put on a manual lens, put in the card and I can't take any photos or videos with the camera, I click to take the photo/video but it doesn't. Can you help me, or tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I'm a landscape photographer. While I use exclusively Canon L glass, and with one exception, I don't use f/2 or f/2.8 lenses because I often have to hike to get my shots, and that glass is just too damned big and heavy, especially when combined with everything else I have to carry. I also don't often shoot wide open, instead opting for more depth of field, so my f/4 L glass is just fine. When I'm just out for a hike, I carry a R50 and 18-150 RF-S lens, and have gotten great sellable shots with it when I've stumbled upon something I couldn't pass up. I'm glad you made it clear that while the bigger, faster glass is great, not everyone needs it, nor should they spend that kind of money.

Given that Sony users are only ever going to buy third party lenses I guess Sony figures they need to jack up the price of camera bodies.

If I would use the specs of the A1II, I would not have a problem with the price tag. But I have no use for the speed and super-AF of the new camera. So I stay with my A7IV and A7RC, maybe replace the A7IV with the A7V next year.

While revolutionary, yes, α1 was notably restrained, too, even in 2021-its monitor already crappy and its lack of precapture already silly-why this lazy rendition of α1 II is now compelling. Otherwise, it warranted a mere press release, why Sony's standard press _conference_ was satirical. Reusing the image sensor, fine, but reusing the processor, why? Sony answered wildlife photographer Duade Paton's inquiry about 40 fps: the _processor_ cannot determine focus 120 times while producing 40 raw files per second. Perhaps accordingly, a composited image still tasks the user to export the files and then make it out of camera. And more importantly, full-frame raw stills at 30 fps, exclusive to the "compressed" format, is necessarily full resolution, 50 MP. The whole resolution menu-large/L as 50 MP, medium/M as 21 MP, and small/S as 12 MP, exclusive to the "lossless compressed" formats-is maximally 20 fps. Even the firmware is lazy, as current use cases warrant options like XL as 50 MP, L as 36 MP, M as 24 MP, S as 18 MP, and XS as 12 MP. Admittedly, my wishlist partly asked too much: an inbuilt flash transmitter open to third parties, an OLED monitor ultrabright for direct sunlight, and an electronic ND filter. Reasonable, though, were exposure tools via raw histogram instead of via JPEG histogram, ProPhoto RGB color space in photo mode, and waveform as well as vectorscope displays in movie mode. But here we are, Sony's new 50 MP flagship also without CFexpress 4.0 and USB-C at 20 Gps to double the write and transfer speeds. This way, α7R VI can debut them by 2026, and α1 III can catch up in 2028.

stop it get some help

I will agree that for today's market, and even using professional as a standard, the A 1 II is pretty much where you are taking it to. It is a great $4,000.00 priced Camera, and I would think that Sony could sell it for that amount. I am still not sure if Sony realizes that 3 main competitors have stepped up, and while not "perfect" in every way, they are getting there much faster than Sony might imagine !

I guess the Canon money truck came back.

Can you compare a7r v and the a1 ii?

4 mins into the vide and haven't mentioned the A1 ii yet

in my opinion they shouldve added a 60fps burst in apsc crop, since it would be around 21mp. This would’ve competed much better against the 40fps 24mp from the r1, while also giving you more reach. Being stuck at 30fps in full resolution isnt always necessary, and im sure they can implement this since they can do 8k at high fps already

No. You are wrong.

Jared how much better is the auto focus on the R1 then the R5II?

Can’t wait for the A1 ii vs R1 video, it shall be a fun showdown. My moneys with Sony😅.

Whats this visualizer you got on top of your camera body

Let me get this straight, the A1ll at 6500 is overpriced, but the 6200 dollar R1 with its whopping 24mpx sensor and slightly better af isn’t? Ok.

Sony A1 Mk2 was not made for the masses. They won't be manufacturing many of them and it is aimed at just providing the best of the best. Doubt they will reduce the price just to increase the sales of A1. Those already familiar with the Sony system may not switch to a Canon or Nikon just because it is cheaper...

Fro puts his most important content first: sponsors and ads 🤣👍

Need shutter less Camera #Sony

I'm a full-time pro, and won't be buying the 28-70 f2. I will keep using my 24-70 f2.8 GM2. I need the 24mm wide end for tight spots and scenery. I'm no all that concerned about bokeh, because my background is a Caribbean island.

I never had the opportunity to buy A1. Do you think it is worth to buy A1 mark 2?

I thought the A1 was over priced. And I agree that in todays market the Sony A1 ll is 2000 dollars over priced. I dont think the size and weight of the new 28/70 f2 is lighter because it is six years newer. I think all of Canons glass is bigger and heavier than Sony because it has to be because of the bigger lens mount. Same with Nikon.

Great Video!

I agree that for the price, the Canon R5 Mark II is a more logical nad economical choice for very close to the same quality of camera body & similar performance.

If Trump’s tariffs are invoked after 1-20; ADD 20% to costs.

Great video Jared. I must say you have softened my heart toward canon. Going to get the r10 and 24mm for a walk around street camera.

Agreed concerning the a1ii and its pricing. The Canon R5ii is its closest SPEC competitor . . . but the price of the a1ii is clearly around $2k too high! Perhaps Sony just prefers making a TON of profit on each of a few units instead a little profit on each of a ton of units. see also, CF-Express type-A cards!

Agreed. I’d been waiting for two years or so for the a1 ii thinking it will be expensive but you’re right, $6500 is too much! I would go for it at $5000.

Shut up and take my money!

Agree the A1II is over priced, but $6,299.00 for 24 mp is over priced as well! 🤙🏽

6:48 I'm not sure why I would be shooting only JPEGs on a Sony A1 though

a1 II is way over priced. Seems like they tried to just make it a profit machine considering most of the parts already existed.

You can buy a lot of tin cans for 6500! And my z9 is just fine for what I shoot but love your videos ( ps keep your shirt on in the future lol)

Hey! R3 is still alive and Canon just came out with the R3 mark ii. And no, the A1-ii is price perfectly. If Sony was to price it at $6,000 usd or below, the A1 was lose so much resell value. To keep the resell value of these cameras high, gotta keep the normal price tag high as well.

Literally says "Aaaaa One Two" in the momeny the logo "Alpha 1 II" is shown in the video. "Alpha" just sounds sooo much better, you really really should call it that way, to not sound so "dumb" (<- and I am using a word you love to use when someone else sounds or looks dumb in something, so don't take it personally ;) ).

It is overpriced, but that's coming from someone who will likely never buy a new camera. There are too many great cameras used. I have an A9 that I bought for $1,200. In a few years I'll buy an A9iii.

The Z8 still seems like the best value, if you can live with its AF. For a lot of people, it’s more than adequate.

The price is why they will have a lot stocked on the shelves.. they missed the mark..

Canon Glazing

$ony is too greedy.. They still assume they are the only player in mirrorless and I believe their management never try Canon/Nikon cameras. As an A1 user, I wont upgrade to A1ii.

Nice moobs ! 🤣
