Sony A7C II vs Sony A7CR

[@mike850826]

It's a great video and a great channel. Learned a lot from your zv-e10 tutorial and since purchased the zv-e10 I still watch every video you uploaded. Still gonna watch every videos you put out, casue it's great and informative.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Best type of person!!

[@knuckles9045]

Definitely interested in a direct comparison vs a6700. The 7 stop IBIS is only rated with specific lenses I think so not sure what the apples to apples is. Would love to just see a picture of the 3 bodies side-by-side as well. Are they basically the exact same size as the a6700

[@imkavindu]

This!

[@AnthonyJohnson1]

Love my little A7c. Cracking camera. Think the R model would be for me as I mainly shoot stills. Love the idea of all that extra resolution but can’t justify The R5 price. Thanks for the great review

[@TCinSoCal]

Love the idea of the R but can’t live below ISO 5,000. Everything I’ve read and seen the R has significantly more noise than the A7Cii starting as low as ISO 3200. The 33MP sensor is an amazing sensor and enough for me. LOVE the size of the A7Cii. It’s so much fun.

[@Hobbies4Hire]

Great job on the video Mark! Thanks for making it.

[@LensProWork]

Hi Mark, you are doing an excellent job! I would like to see a comparison between the Sony A7C II and the Sony A6700. I am going to upgrade from Sony ZV-E10 🙂

[@rollingshutter5468]

Hi Mark, I have the Sony Zv-E1. I cant decide between the A7cii and the A7cr as my 2nd camera. I mainly shoot video but I want my 2nd camera to be able to shoot stills and still be great for video. Which one shall I go for? Btway love your videos man. ( A7cr has pixel binned 4k that is swaying me away from it)

[@3ligijus]

A7C2 vs ZV-E1 🙏🏼 please !

[@tiltedbybox6118]

What's the difference between down sampling and pixel binning?

[@bondgabebond4907]

Well, the A7CII is my choice. Don't need the 61mp sensor, have the A7R3 with its 42mp, and it is more than good enough. I just want the CII in black with that handle extender for my pinky. Plus, the cost is more palatable.

[@arranpbrown]

Great video, Mark! Quick question: does the a7C II have the option for you to leave the shutter down when you turn the camera off? I know the a7CR has this, but I haven’t seen anything to confirm this for the a7C II… thanks!

[@jaymills1720]

Thanks. A6700 seems like a better value.

[@Jr.stetics]

So they both can do 10 but right?

[@RICKYSERTV]

Same price as the zv-e1 I think the a7cii is the clear Winner

[@jedrulakw]

depends what you need, for me the zv-e1 dynamic active stab and 60(no crop)/120p is a deal breaker

[@RICKYSERTV]

@@jedrulakw well I left sony to get the lumix S5IIX but I had a sony A7C before and loved it but the 8 bit was a limitation for me

[@pinocchio7490]

⁠@@jedrulakwisn’t the dynamic stabilization just more crop to the frame for better stabilization? (like 1.5x crop) I think you can get the same result with a7c2 with some editing afterwards.

[@jedrulakw]

@@pinocchio7490 yes, it is, and more like x1.4 crop but it's much easier/faster when you see what you film

[@alet.l.]

Good information

[@hellolau]

Which color looks better? Silver or Black? 👊

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I personally like the black. But everyone else I talked to likes the silver more.

[@hellolau]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I'm with you on the black choice. It's my preference too, thanks to its professional look, discreet nature, durability, timeless appeal, focus on photography. On the flip side, silver can draw attention, reflect light, follow fashion trends, show wear easily, might not fit formal settings, but it does carry a sense of nostalgia and can appeal to those embracing a hipster aesthetic.

[@jonguitarman2003]

Looking forward to a comparison A7c 2 vs the a6700. I’ve been leaning towards but I might try and swing the extra monies towards a7c 2 if the features are worth it. I’d like the best bang for my buck with some long term ownership. Keep the good videos coming! I appreciate them!

I get to decide after watching Mark’s video😂

[@beaubolieu]

Opted for the a6700 for that 4K 120!! I already have the a7IV. I’m pretty happy with that combo thus far.

[@ankera7460]

Like always great review.. I was wondering if you are going to compare the Video specs between A7cii with ZV-E1 (4K @60p) that would be great!

[@leonfx2009]

Hi Mark, Currently I'm using your favorite Sony ZV E10 with Sigma lenses 16 and 30mm. You think is it worth upgrading to A7CII for photo and video shoots?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

yes, the a7c ii with a nice lens like the Sony 35 1.8, 50 f1.8 or the 24 GM (or many viltrox 24mm) will be a step up and worthwhile if you have the budget for it.

[@vicentvanmole]

for still photo , lower light performance A7cr has equal & better ,while its true A7c2 better in video only .

[@gordon3988]

Both looked great…pretty much agreed with all your points from what you showed. Are the new models any larger than the A7C? Small and light would be a definite win. Maybe next time we can see some run and gun type video too? Will the rolling shutter be an issue do you think? Understand about not taking those cameras out in the deserts in Ontario 😊. Well done video Mark!

[@visceralpsyche]

Thanks for the shoutout to my LUTs as always! Sony REALLY needs to come up with a better naming system... there's far too many letters and numbers these days. They feel like parody names!!

[@fairymiles]

Omg, A7CII ! I'm waiting for this !!! #HypedUp!

[@tzitzos77]

Mark , the 11mm F1.8 will work fine with the A7CII or is better to buy the A6700? At 35apc mode they will perform both cameras the same or there are any benefits for the A7CII ( of course better in low light , but what about the field of view , image quality etc etc? ) Thx. Really hope to see soon from you some comparition A6700 vs A7CII with some Apc lens

[@shekhar1203]

nice cameras but i'm going to keep using my sony a6700 😄

[@dennyfree1]

Mark, I think you made this video expressly for me. I am going to preorder this in the morning. Thanks for reading my mind. Denny

[@jaylawilson2532]

Which one would be better for photography? I think the Sony 7CR would be better. Thinking of upgrading from the Sony Zve10

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

for photography the a7c t would be better because you can have so much more room to crop or even just use Apsc mode and continue using Apsc lenses and still have 26 mp

[@jaylawilson2532]

Ahh, okay, I was thinking that feature was on the A7CR when you mentioned it in the video..

[@deadstar962]

WOW good thing i didnt buy that 6700

[@ThisisAOTV]

Another camera? Sheesh

[@theIronmerchant]

Thanks for making this mark! I’ve been waiting on this camera before buying my 3rd camera. I’m definitely not letting my A7iv go anywhere I believe that camera will go down in history as a all time great but looking at a B cam that can match it. I think I will be looking the a7cii

[@bondgabebond4907]

Just like the a6700 raised the bar very, very high, these two FF bodies are going to make those larger bodied cameras take a back seat. It's amazing how much more fun it is to shoot with the a6700 vs the A7IV or A7R3. It's unreal. Also, that Tamron 18-300mm aps-c zoom changes everything. Let's see how some of those FF zooms will make the A7C/2/R the ultimate travel camera, or just being the jack of all trades camera.

[@xhenriquefps]

A7CR might be the camera I’ll grind to get. I have the ZV-E10 and use it mostly for photos. Sony has not released another APS-C that produces better photo results than the ZV-E10. I would love to have that 61 megapixels.

[@MoreData-hz8hm]

​@@bondgabebond4907woah this comment makes me want to buy the a6700

I'm really thinking about this A7c2 I want something compact for video with the AI focus tracking, auto focus and stabilization, I was thinking about the Ez-1 but I live in a hot country and worry about the over heating. You think the 7C is gonna be great for making some films?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I think the a7c should be good in warm conditions,

[@jasonk1889]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis a lot of people are saying the Zv-E1 is still the best for video, I'm just so worried about that overheating, Does it really struggle? Is it that much better as a video camera?

[@nickscott8488]

Great review! I have an A7RIV and a A6400 for travel. I think I will combine the two for a single A7CR and take advantage of my APSC glass!

[@j16m02]

Likewise,

[@eos1d3]

In my city, A7CII is more expensive than A7IV, and A7CR is almost the same price as A7RV.

[@soundskribble]

I’m itching to get one of these but I’m having trouble dealing with the fact that they don’t have a full mechanical shutter. Wonder if anyone has actually found this to be a limitation when using the cameras or if it’s just my ocd making me overthink this!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I asked the Sony engineers when they came out and they told me that having electronic first curtain shutter only is nothing but a benefit. You will only see so cutting of bokeh highlights in very slow reading sensors when using e front curtain shutter. The A7CR and A7CII have fast sensor readout speeds and you will not have any issues 👍

[@Elmosmashing]

Thank you Mark, first review on the internet

[@cookingfordads]

Love your videos. Thanks so much

[@Mandelrot]

I have a ZV-E10 and since some time I've been thinking getting also a full frame camera to have the best possible quality in some low light situations. But all the options I had seen were way out of my budget, and now I'm thinking maybe during the same months I'd keep an eye on the original A7C in case I find some "last units sale" or something. I don't need any of the new features (streaming and so on), just a good autofocus and the best image quality I can get. So in terms of only image quality, would you think that could be a good option?

[@arkphotog]

The ZVE10 is super capable. Every time I consider “upgrading”, I see examples of what the ZVE10 can do. I realize it’s just GAS. Good luck, but I think you’re good with the ZVE10.

[@vadimus70]

Hi!, I think that all potential buyers of new cameras in 2023 are concerned about the topic of overheating. If possible, make a separate video on this topic. Including at 1080 resolution of 25/30 frames.

[@SeigneurAo]

Ok so, since the subject hasn't come up in the video, I'll venture a wild guess that neither of these cameras have addressed the annoying issue of the screen not being fully tactile with complete menu capability ? A shame, really...

This is a very good, exclusive and innovative low light camera review video, only on Mark Bennett's Camera Crisis. Looking forward to making a comparison video about a7cii vs zve1. Thank you for this videos.

[@aviatorman8]

Thanks for the excellent comparison. Do you know if the A7CR’s sensor lacks the AA filter? I hope that’s the case.

[@AnimeWill]

Alright. Good comparison as always. However, I'm starting to take these Overheat test with a big grain of salt. Not just yours but the entire YT Camera community. The a6700 has a pretty big overheating issue when using the HDMI port. Did a couple of live stream test, and it lasted 30 minutes. That's crazy....the a6600 would go forever. USB streaming is better, but you have to have USB 3.2 port on your PC if you want to stream higher than 720p. You also gotta consider people using an external monitor as well...my testing shows it will last about an hour before cutting off in my 22 degree, air-conditioned room. For me, that's fine since I usually don't record longer than 30-45 minutes, but still disappointing.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I tested these ones connected to HDMI monitors because I have noticed this to be an issue as well with the a6700 - but luckily these cameras did great and the warning light didn't come on at all.

[@AprilClayton]

Is the grip on A7C II as nice as A6700? Some say it’s identical. I like the silver topped one. Thinking of getting the old A7C. Just wasn’t a small body for street photography.

Yes - I would say it's a very similar grip

[@martinschuster768]

I was very excited when I read about the cool features of the a6700. As an APS-C photographer it seemed to be the perfect upgrade of my a6500. But now I tend to buy the a7CR instead. It is twice the price but you get two cameras in one body. I can shoot FF and still have the opportunity to use lightweight APS-C gear when mountain-hiking. 26MP in APS-C mode are exactly what you get with the a6700. The pixel density on both sensors seem to be the same, the a7RC sensor is just bigger. So if money is not a great issue, the a7RC is the best option, as it offers maximum flexibility. If you are not interrested in FF, the a6700 is your camera. Vice versa, if you are not interrested in APS-C and do not need extra high resolution, the a7CII might be the best value for money.

[@ulf4982]

You are right, only the 7Cii is better in low light, better then 6700 and 7CR. i still thinking 6700 or……? what you think

[@paulmaher1705]

The APS-C 6700 can do HD 240FPS, yet these two full frame cameras only do 120 FPS. Why does Sony pull this kind thing?
