[@kriskerry4449]

Love this. Just bought an A7 II. One thing i would say it would be great to see the focal length and the aperture you use for the shots. Im not a zoom guy, but id love to see what you shoot the most

[@AmalForbes]

Thank you!

[@SchnellfeuerXD]

Hey, I am starting my first job soon and I want the A7 II as my first camera. I've already worked with the Sony A330 of my dad. Can you recommend it?

[@kriskerry4449]

@@SchnellfeuerXD hey, it is a great camera but you have to understand the limitations with full frame before going in for it. I’ve actually just returned mine as I found the depth of field was so fine that the margin for error with focus shooting wide open was hard to control. I’m going back to a crop sensor camera.

[@devenhennelly5639]

@@kriskerry4449 what do you mean by this

[@kriskerry4449]

@@devenhennelly5639 basically with full frame sensors and bright lenses the focus area is so fine that for example if you took a portrait and the focus point is the eyes, the nose would be slightly out of focus. Margin of error is higher than a crop. But i more expensive full frame wouls focus better and more reliable

[@thesgambifiu]

Hello, I need an advise. I am going to buy a new camera and for the same budget I am deciding between the Sony a7m2k and the alpha 6400. I will use it for street photography and family pictures. Which one do you recommend?

[@AmalForbes]

I’d recommend the 6400. The lenses are cheaper for APS-C. But if you want full frame, then the A7ii is a good starting point for Sony full frame

Great video. I think I’ll be getting the Sony A7II this weekend. I’m rocking with an old Nikon d3100. So I’m in need of an upgrade. I don’t really have a style of shooting just take pictures of what looks nice. I’ve gotten nature, cars, pictures of the moon. So I’m really excited to head into the “street photography” world. Any advice on what to look for while doing street photography. Thxs in advance 👍

[@AmalForbes]

Congrats! And try to capture things that stand out and make you feel a certain type of way. The street photos that I think are the best are the street photos that show emotion!

How was the ISO, aperture set?

[@gyorgyzoltan7007]

Hy! I decided to buy this camera about a week ago. I've been using a Nikon D5300 for the past 6 years , and about for 2 months I used it with a 50mm F1.8. Very crisp photos after the blurry and soft 18-200. Now the problem is , that I get the same with the Sony , with the 28-70 mm kit lens. I photograph trains , that is what I use the camera for. I might be very stupid , I am not ashamed of that , but the Sony had not yet convinced me. Could you help me in some way to figure out how can I get good results out of the Sony? What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance!

[@AmalForbes]

Check multiple things. Are you shooting in continuous AF? With wide focus area? Or you can always use select focus point which is what I sometimes use. And also is your shutter speed adequate enough for a moving subject AKA a train and what not. For a slow moving subject 1/250th should be fast enough but for more fast subjects then a faster shutter speed will help with reducing blur.

[@gyorgyzoltan7007]

@@AmalForbes Thank you for your reply Amal! The settings I have used are 1/800 F8.0 ISO 200 ,AF-C and metering in multi and focus point wide. But when zooming in , it could be clearly seen that the numbers or elements on the locomotive are blurred. Also I was shooting at 50 mm.
