[@serfer]

😫😫😫

[@mymai4132]

Hey Jason, I'm loving the new look / feel of these videos ! great job.

[@ShutterSphere]

i can't wait, these look SO nice. I have the OG 7c and absolutely love it. It's an amazing camera. I'm stoked they're updating the line and continuing it!

[@SebastienBarrau]

Watched most reviews on the a7cii and this is by far the most detailed! Thanks for the hard work!

[@LaLekASMR]

How the 4k 60p in crop factor mode on the a7cII compare to 4k 60p on a FX30/a6700 when regarding low light? are they virtually the same or a FF sensor is still better even in crop mode?

[@MJGOLDHEART]

Always informative and entertaining 🙂 Cheers Jason!

[@hiawrj]

You make the best videos! Always first to watch for new gear releases :D

[@ritosuckerino6763]

I love your new high octane editing style. Really differentiates your channel! Love the growth!

[@vfdbgred-ui1bg]

Finally!! Great video Jason!

[@LeviZapanta]

Thanks for making this video! Really glad I got my ZV-E1 and will be sticking with it 🔥

[@bigdhav]

Your videos are always so fun and entertaining. Thanks! Really enjoy watching them.

[@BestindotechYT]

Love the production quality, the sound, the jokes, amazing! Cannot believe you made this video just with the two of you. Great work Jason, if you come again to Indonesia please make a workshop/seminar of how to do this amazing work! Take care J&V :) Btw just bought A6700 and so happy with it especially the lens option now is so good.

[@mlhm5]

If I was going to carry something around that is as heavy as the a6700 I would carry a full frame, the a7c.

[@boxoffisa]

How is it holding? Is it good with stills like it is with video? I wonder because I am looking for a budget friendly but good quality video camera.

[@jeffreyagnes2232]

Always enjoyed your video mate. Keep it up!

[@chkndelux]

Great Scott!!!!! Vong came through with the most entertaining coverage of the A7C lineup this year!

[@dianascarletthenry]

I'm so hype for this update, damn love the a7C series and your videos.

[@ragingmistry]

Jason. As always your videos are entertaining and useful. Keep up the great work both of you!

[@tsizzle]

Great to watch this finally released first view on the new A7CII and A7CR, great in-depth look into the 4K-60 conundrum! I like Vivian’s announcements in each of the review categories😊 Hope to hear a bit more about over heating test results in a future in-depth review. Also, I know battery life is taking a HUGE hit (540/510 CIPA vs. 740/680 CIPA in the original A7C) which is both expected but still disappointing. Would also be interested to know if A7C2 suffers from what some users have complained about noise in shadow details and also not as sharp eye AF when using wide open apertures as the A7IV? Finally, do you think it’s worth upgrading from the original A7C to A7C2 for photography?

[@abennett]

You CRUSHED this review! Well done!

[@mishimafan]

WOW! You're good at this. Great video!

[@shlee1326]

Great and fun review !!

[@Samiam-mu5ln]

The Sony ZV-E1 should have been released with these two bodies but called the Sony A7C S since it directly takes from the A7S III but in a more compact form factor (same body as these new A7C II/R if I'm not mistaken) and then Sony would have had one of the most craziest body launches in history!

[@RamTengri]

Makes me wonder if an A7sIV is coming soon with A7cS following?!?!

[@Omgiamsotriggered]

@@RamTengridoubt it. Sony will probably discontinue the A7s to continue their cinema line. You can clearly see that with the fact fx series are getting really good firmware updates while a7sIII has been left unloved.

[@lalitkoradiya3868]

No camera

[@maddybaliga]

Great video with details ❤

[@kane01337]

I love professor VONG - he should be a regular segment !

[@R8Prototype]

the chapter transitions are such a fun touch to your videos haha

[@marvinspates924]

Awesome job guys!!!!

[@Gabbosauro]

Great editing!

[@ektalon1]

Well done video explaining the features, benefits, and differences in each camera.

[@NikoBols]

Hey Jason. Question about the 4k60p in the A7CR. You mentioned it cannot be used in crop mode. What happens when you use an APS-C lens in 4k60p?

[@imranpatel4612]

Need an a6700 vs a7c ii video asap. Great video as always Jason

[@hbarwick1]

Thanks Jason. As always great info and reviews. I just picked up the A7Cii. Do you know if you can get photos from your 4K video you take?

[@FrameofTravel]

I picked up the A7c as my first Sony Camera in years and it was a blast to use. Super excited for these updated cameras and honestly thinking of picking one up. Which one though ... hmmmmm. Love this video guys! So much information and entertainment value to the max hah. The IBIS is nuts with those shots at 1 second. Bummed about the video specs though. Overall loved the video and info. Keep it up!

[@craiggillette4381]

As part of the Vong throng, I'm always looking here to see what's new. Pleased to see this. I did add an A6700 and am exploring the hybrid side of things so like that it's a different point of view compared to some of the strongly stills oriented side with so many others. Good job!

[@TheCarGuide]

Just 1 question - SONY ZV-E1 vs A7C 2 ?

[@nafnaf0]

Very detailed, entertaining, and engaging video. The production quality in this is really getting pretty good. No one has gone through video as detailed as that.

[@fjmediapro]

Love you channel thank you for all the great videos you make for us smaller creators :)

[@DaPoets]

Fantastic video and it was great seeing you at Kando

[@officalmattknows]

great video jason! cameras don’t feel too convincing for me but I can see the use for them!

[@calebpcollins]

You keep them coming!!! How do you do it?! Series love your reviews as of late. Slaying!! 😎 Good work!

[@labelfish29]

You've become my favourite reviewer. Great job: detailed, entertaining and funny to watch. I was hooked

[@MrPedalpaddle]

Excellent video! Very informative & entertaining,too. Vivian is great!

[@JiaxinLiu]

Love the post-edit! Great video! How do the cameras compare to a6700 at 4k@24fps? especially in low light?

[@HarleyPan]

Jason, thanks for the video. You made it fun to watch and still a very comprehensive report. thanks!

[@EmlynInTheMix]

Excellent Video! Thank you!! 📸

[@SirCookie-monster]

Man aside of all that camera goodness, i kept listening to your intro on loop. It is awesome 😂❤

[@xperience-evolution]

Brilliant Video as usual! Where is the Mark II branding on the 7C II?

[@HieuKa86]

very useful & details hand on video, thank you

[@crosstb]

Jason you crack me up. Great video. Thanks.

[@enerico]

This is why I'm subscribed to Jason for so many years now, because of his style (informative and comedic way) 😍

[@Chaelaz]

Digging the latest format and edits. Thanks Jason. As for cameras, still going to wait for the new sensors and updates to the higher end lines. Will be and interesting next several months.

[@vitalieodobescu]

Hi Jason. I've been watching your channel for a long time. You are doing a great job. I would like to ask if you are going to release a Setup Guide for the A7CII like you previously released a guide for the A7IV? This would be very helpful.

[@Raymond0595]

Which one would you recommend for beginner?

[@juansolorzano394]

Hi again, Jason!! Your content is amazing, my first stop for Sony “reviewtainment” !! We could not ask for more, other than encouraging you an Vivian to keep doing such a great work. I was really looking forward to buy the A7CII since I wanted the compact form factor. But here in Mexico we recently had great promotions during HotSale (think BlackFriday in steroids) and bought the A7IV with kit lens for some 16 hundred. My plan was to resell new to get this A7CII, but at 2,2K now does not make much sense. Best regards and come visit Mexico.

[@joshuawagstaff8227]

Looking too buy a camera for Content Creation jobs for brands, music artists and more...need a solid hybrid camera which performs well in all situations for video (low light etc...) but also want the option to be able to shoot photos on it as well for things such as cover images, carousels for IG...what would you recommend? Currently torn between the A7Cii and the ZV-E1...At the moment I'm leaning towards the A7Cii because it has a view finder and if I get some wedding gigs this may be super helpful when capturing photos.... Would love to hears thoughts opinions or even another camera option which may work better for that hybrid set up!

[@travisalexphoto]

So I'm working with a 6500 and a a7rii still, still good working cameras, but I would love to upgrade. Do you think it's better for someone who is planning on shooting professionally like me to switch to an a7cii/a7cR or make the leap to a A74 or A7r5?

[@molybdnum]

Super, super interested in whether one or both of these can make the most of crop mode to use APS-C glass. I'd love a deep dive into how cropped A7CR compares to the 6000-series 24mp APS-C. And of course - @jason, does the A7CR finally replace the RX1R-II?

[@xstensl8823]

Sony needs to crop to m43 so i can use all my excellent Leica glass rather than spend fortune on new FE glass

[@emilsanchez2028]

This was a really well made video Good at holding retention without doing too much

[@kudogoku]

Hi. I recently more serious into camera and just found your channel. I watch your reviews and still cant decide. I got my good old A6500 with my Tamron 18-300mm lens that I took everywhere for everything (I know it's not good but...) I love to shoot animals (recently into horse racing) and landscape. Which one do you recommend? To be honest, 7C2 is my no.1 choice right now as the price is not very over budget and I need to buy Telezoom for the horse racing (If you can recommend this as well ;w; please) Do you think I should wait and buy 7CR instead or just 7c2 is alright in your opinion? Thank you in advance!

[@officialbrandoncoleman]

dope video bro

[@shaofuhuwu709]

Your production quality went through the roof! 😮

[@alanleung8188]

Production quality just got to another level, well done mate!

[@JasonVong]

thanks Alan!

[@Mayron85]

Amazing video!

[@welshsimon]

On the a7cii, when you go into apsc mode and activate clear image zoom, does it still maintain eye autofocus like when you do clear image in full frame mode?

[@nsaech]

I am laughing HISTERICALLY in the car, with my husband, watching you. Like CRYING. I have never seen ever in my life a full YT video so long. Genius

[@tietan867]

What would you recommend if I just want to take good portrait picture? Which Sony camera I should buy? Thanks

[@darwinsvaleza]

Super nice content, love it 👍

[@Sunday_Morning570]

Thank you, Jason, for putting in the extra efforts to make your reviews more enjoyable. I love the sense of humor 😂.

[@sangerstud06]

What do you recommend between the A7C II and the ZV-E1 for video? Such a difficult decision!

[@codenamekim22]

always love the undercut of this guy :)

[@OliverWiehe]

Fantastic - GREAT - PHENOMENAL intro -loved it! great edit - ugh now I have to buy the a7cii

[@marknathan7744]

Hi Jason and co thanks for the review i like the 7r does it have ficus stacking feature as in a7r5?

[@ToLoQueVesPodcast]

What an entertaining and informative video, you Rock ! :)

[@chickenandricecrew9867]

Was wondering if you will be doing a setup guide for a7cii and a7cr like you have done for other cameras? Thanks again channel is amazing keep them coming. 👏👍

[@Slamhain]

hi! Do you have any videos or advice on what camera/lens I should get switching over to mirrorless? There are so many products on the market and I am overwhelmed!

[@chickenandricecrew9867]

Hey will there be a ultimate setup guide for the a7cii or a7cr? Just wondering really enjoyed the zv e1 one. Thanks.

[@GroundedTech]

Great video sir.

[@JaySea_Productions]

Hi Jason, talking about APSC lenses on A7IV full frame. If I was to pick between A7IV and an FX30 to film 4k videos, which would be better quality? 13 MP full frame or 25 MP APSC?

[@MollyFitzBrown]

"the Vong" lol thanks for the breakdown. I'll be sticking with my zve1 for video but these seem interesting if I want to add a photo geared camera to my lineup one day!

[@bias1609]

How would you compare the a7c ii with the A6700?

[@lukasnikulla7425]

How do you open the .ARW files from this camera on a macbook? Apple doesn't seem to support those cameras yet.

[@ItsJFox]

But ZV-E1 overheats for longer video - which would recommend for video podcast? FX30 / FX3 / A7cii ??

[@oropezaledesma]

I’m trying to buy the A7IV for hybrid will you recommend or what you recommend ?

[@MattLong101]

Do you think 4k120 will be available through an update at some point?

[@cb11_11]

Incredible editing. Been watching your videos for a while, but this was just above and beyond. Earned a subscribe from me!

[@JasonVong]

Thank you!!

[@77dris]

That 4K60 crop on the A7IV is one of the big reasons I got the R6 II instead (plus the better body, LCD and faster FPS on the Canon)

[@jacksmith-kw9ex]

if Canon opens rf mount， id say compare to r6ii， the a7m4 is just garbage.

[@Paslrstudiosphoto]

Pretty awesome video guys 👌

[@motojc]

You have the best 7C comparison video. Both informative and entertaining. Great job. Maybe the new Fuji 100II next?

[@imranalijafar]

My question is that if I buy A7Cmark 2, will I be able to rely on the view finder to the point where I would not need to use LCD screen to make changes? I have hard time reading fine print from that close. If I need to use LCD, than I rather get ZVE1.

[@dylansawchuk8045]

Jason, I'm still not sure which one to buy to replace my existing A7c. I care more about still image quality vs Video, but weighting the high ISO performance of the cII vs the megapixels of the R. Is there anything else to the R which makes it a better still camera? Does it have more DR or do I just get more pixels to crop for my extra $800?

[@ManoloLago]

just keep your a7c

[@timpan42]

Best review video!!!

[@ggadventures8265]

Does the grip extension work with the original A7C?

[@MadefromJava]

No 4k60 on APSC mode on the a7C R is bummer for me. Just tested it out on my a7r V and it’s the same. Wanted a more compact solution and use an APSC lens from time to time during travel while keeping the same capabilities. Looks like I’m leaning towards the a7c ii.

[@carlosezetagomez]

Wich one it’s better on low light Sony A7Cll or A7cr?

[@om2133]

jason im always enjoy your video, the first channel that come up in my mind if sony release the new product

[@TomWuck]

Hello Jason, could you do a comparison of the a7xii and the best iphone 15 please? Thanks, Thomas

[@undeathshadow]

logged in just to like and watch Jason vid.. GJ bro

[@JasonVong]

thank you thank you!

[@tarrius1210]

Jason, can you please do a comparison video on the a6700 vs a7CR please?

[@cheeheanleong2000]

Thanks for your caomparison information, I am still confusing to get the a6700 or a7cr. Your video will help me to make a right choose.

[@LBreezy214]

Always the first channel I watch for Sony releases!

[@fritsscholtenhzn.6387]

Great "new" style video. Its so nice to see ,and hear your both as team. But I become grazy conflicted between a 6700 and this new one a 7cr 😅. PS. Started with a 6400,you helped me a lot with the Menu. ❤😊

[@DDHDTV]

OMG HYPE! Haven't watched the video yet and won't get the A7Cii anyways, due to price, but I love the idea of the compact FF so I'm very excited about these releases!

[@DDHDTV]

update: wow I'm really surprised it doesn't even have 4k60 no crop, after that a6700 release I thought that would be the minimum the A7Cii would get. Oterhwise it really is perfect. Now hoping for good used A7C deals myself :)
