Sony A7C II vs Sony A7IV

Great video Mark. Now do a comparison on the A7C ll vs A6700 😊

Super work as usual Mark!

[@JAaronMattox]

3:05 AF pulsing in lowlight on the A7Cii at iso 32000 vs the a7iv is surprising given how much hype the AI gets. Seems like something they should iron out with the firmware.

[@DigiDriftZone]

Best comparison video I have seen, fantastic work! - like other commentators, I am excited to see the ZV-E1 comparison :) - I am saving up to add the A7C2 as a B cam to my ZV-E1 and general purpose hybrid/travel cam.

[@AprilClayton]

I love a big sensor and small camera. I’m enjoying ZVE1 but miss an EVF. I like A6700 but miss low light performance. I love the quality of A7IV but not the size always. A7c II seems best of all worlds. I

[@spencerfr1]

Except the EVF on the c series is very small and low quality

[@brilliantlights]

Amazing level of details. Thanks for sharing.

[@rossmpt]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis would love to see a comparison in low light with the a7CII in crop mode! Interested in the A7CII but might occasionally throw on an aps-c zoom for travel.

[@angelwalker.]

The a7iv is for someone who does proffesional work and the a7cii is the a7iv made compact for travel or a influencer to get great quality and all the extra AI will help someone who doesnt know much to be able to get good video with the help of Ai. I think also if you get deeper in the settings the IV got 10 bit vs 8bit on the cii which again, i think the iv is made to push the quality even more, in the first video comparison i think the iv looked more cinematic. I went for the iv and i love it. And great review.

Oh this is great! The A7CII sounds amazing. I got new job where I'm making videos more often, but they don't have a budget for a camera yet so I'm using my ZV-E10 and a few of the great lenses you've recommended. (sidenote: my little Dougie is impressing everyone!) Whenever they get their act together and tell me I can get a camera, I think I'll get this one.

[@churchill378]

Missed the fact that the A7C 2 doesn’t have a true mechanical shutter. And the max flash sync speed is only 1/160.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

It has e-front curtain shutter yes - but that won’t cause any issues unless the sensor readout speed is slow - which it is not on this camera. No bokeh balls will be harmed

[@HesDeadJim]

I didn't think of the max sync speed. That's a good point. I've preordered it

[@Chris-ey7zy]

1/160 isn’t bad. Not like 1/30 of zv-e1. Can just bring light down with nd filter instead of doing HSS

[@lewcehjitl3282]

The AI Autofocus is way better. Totally worth selling your a7iv. On the sad note, Sony doesn’t upgrade firmware hense selling the a7iv is the best option. A7cii pared with the a6700 best of the best 😊

Well done review ! btw did you test overheating at say 4K 30 ?

[@alexanderpark6779]

Its so interesting to see how the Sony A7CII & Sony A7CR compared to cameras they are based on. IMO, I believe the A7CII is an "upgrade" compared to the Sony a7IV. For the Sony A7CR I see it as a "downgrade" from the Sony A7R5. Generally speaking of course.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

yes, I can see that logic

[@erg1450]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis My take on the CR vs the RV, is that CR has additional features and cheaper at the cost of a limited EVF and screen and one and card slot...that is the $900 question that people needs to put in the balance based on their specific use cases , I am not a pro, and for me, the portability and additional features (i.e. able to load my LUTs in camera) and the price differential, the CR is the better option

[@severgun]

That is why price difference is much bigger.

[@honzaskypala]

Hey Mark, great video as always. I am really considering a7cII as an upgrade, anyway as I am fan of macro photography, I am curious if there is focus bracketing function in a7cII. Please can you check in the camera and let me know. (I know that a7iv does not have it, but a7rv does as well as a6700 and I hope Sony starts to put it in all their new cameras)

[@spencerfr1]

They do say it has focus bracketing in the product release on Sonys website

[@robertjpayne60]

Mark, I watched all your videos in the last couple of days - I appreciate all the input. I get an educator's discount so I can get an A74 for $2248 (arrived yesterday). So, you are looking at like a $50 difference! I was thinking of getting two cameras and had ordered, received, returned the Sony A6700 (though I liked it, was thinking about waiting for the Sony A7Cii). Now, I can keep the A74 and pre-order the A7Cii (I had owned the A7C and thought the grip wasn't quite right and the EVF was weak - both updated in the A6700 and the A7Cii). The only lenses I own are the Sony 24mm F1.4 GM and the Sony 200-600mm G OSS (I shoot birds) so I have room for any direction. I was thinking of keeping the A74 just because of the Sony 200-600 lens, but I could get two Sony A7Cii camera (get one of each!). What do you think? What other lenses if I stay full frame (was thinking Sigma 28-70, Tamron 28-75)? Thanks!

[@erg1450]

Robert, I have several GM lenses (including the 24 1.4) , and also have the Tamron 28-75, this lens is excellent and would be on the same level of the GM series. My favorite lenses (mostly family events and portraits) are: Sony 35 1.4, Sigma 50 1.4, Sony 135 1.8 (the best lens I've ever owned) and Sony 100-400 G (for sports). I shoot them with the A7IV, just ordered the A7CR to complete my set, they complement nicely (I think the new grip for the A7CII/CR will be a must when using large lenses), the CII with grip would be $2,350, the CR comes with the grip, so, price difference is $650, and you get better video at 4K P60 (1.1. top vs 1.5) and a ability to crop to your heart content, also, I tested extensively the A7RV. vs the A7IV and the IQ for portraits of the R sensor, in my opinion and observation, is a bit better than the A7IV

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I love the A7iv so I am keeping mine as well. the a7cii or the r are great compliments. you have two great lenses. the sigma 28-70 or Tamron 28-75 are superb and you can’t go wrong there. of course there is the 24-70 GM II which is great but expensive. if you like shooting portraits, look at the 85 1.4 art from sigma. f you need wide for landscapes, the new 16-35 GM II is amazing

no - I would get the a74

Hi Mark, This is Nick, from Sydney. I really enjoy your videos, and I have learned so many things from you. I jumped into photography two years ago as an amateur looking for some pro-quality work as a hobby rather than as a professional. I currently have the Sony ZV-E10 with four APS-C lenses (Sony E 11mm f/1.8, Sony E 70-350mm f/4.5-6.3 G, Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8, and Sigma 16mm f/1.4). I am thinking of upgrading to either the Sony A6700 or the Sony A7C II, so I would love to see a video comparing those two cameras. I am wondering if you could make such a video or at least give me your thoughts about it. Keep doing such a good job. 👍

Great comparision. Pl make video on a7c ii vs zf. And a7c ii vs canon counterpart you feel right as.

A74 might go for 40 minutes at 4k60 before shutting down. Then when you press record again another 20minutes then 5 minutes each time with battery door open. I just saw it happen with fashion show that was a long one. That’s why I bought the fx30 but stupidly brought the iv because I had still job a couple hours after fashion show and didn’t want to bring 2 cameras. It definitely shuts down on 4k60

[@Brucelabvideos]

OK Mark, I wasn't really in the market for the A7Cii, buuuut....... you've pushed me over the edge of the cliff I was going to jump off of anyway, and just hit the "Pre-Order" button at B&H (using your affiliate link of course).

[@leafhelm9775]

Hi Mark ! First I would like to thank you for all yours videos ! You help me choose the Sony ZV-E10 which is a great camera, I love it ! But as I'm a streamer, I always wanted to do 4k60p stream with a good camera ( hoping I can lol ). The thing is, I heard about overheating and I do 6-8h stream. And at 30 degres, I was wondering if both camera would take it. And the A7IV was my first choice because of it’s versability ( I also love photography ) and I want something thay can do all of that ! The thing is, autofocus is something I like because on low light, the ZV-E10 can loose it sometimes. I was wondering for streaming is where a real difference between the A7IV and the A7C II ? Or should I go with something else ? I'm so confused as there's planty of camera ahah. Thank you for your reponse !

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

For 8 hrs of 4k60 - the best thing to go with is the fX30 (or FX3 if it’s in the budget). An A7Cii or an A7IV “might” be able to do it - but it’s asking a lot. If you get a Ulanzi cooling fan the A7Cii and A7IV are more viable options. Another possibility is a used A7SIII. That is still a great photo camera even at 12 mp and it won’t overheat in 4k60

Agreed, I'm real tempted to get an A7Cii/A7CR instead of a6700 and I like Sony's crop lens lineup better! Mark Galer reported that the a6700 sensor is the exact same as the A7CR sensor just cropped (so all other performance should be the same)

Idk if the A7C II has the mode dial as the A7 IV with the photo and video modes with the more options of setting custom things for different "styles" i would call it. If the A7C II has not the same dial than thats another avantage of the A7 IV in my opionon

[@FooksTechnology]

Im just worried that the A7CII doesn't have 2 card slots. Thats my only worry. I really want all the new ai stuff and importable luts but there isn't a sony camera thats like the a7iv with that new stuff yet. Do you think it'll be safe to use the Sony A7CII at weddings and stuff with one card slot? Can you set the creators app to backup photos to your phone in real time?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

you can’t really backup in real time to the creators app because it’s very slow. I’d rather get the A7iv for weddings with the two card slots, and the AI autofocus won’t come into play as much with weddings. it’s big with tracking vehicles animals, and birds. With people, the A7iv is excellent. For LUTs, you’re usually looking at an external monitor anyway and you can load LUTS into those. The A7RV actually has ai features (but not the LUT loading). A lot of people don’t care and use the one card slot because it’s rare that something goes wrong. But personally, I couldn’t take that chance.

[@FooksTechnology]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Okay, thanks for the response! Yeah, I feel I can live without the AI stuff for now. Getting the Sony A7iv would probably be the smarter choice. Plus, I could always upgrade to the A7V once it comes out. You dah best!

[@shathan.10]

Moving from APS-C to FF I am on the fence between building A7IV or A7C Il, I love compact size but bigger size is good for grip and stabilising also looks more professional. Would my best option to get A7C lI and buy a battery grip so it gets bulkier similar to A7IV and I can remove it anytime for travel ? Btw I will use prime lenses with it mostly for most bokeh

Dear Mark, this is the first comparison that answered for me a very important thing. The eye tracking or tracking feedback in general during clear image zoom, that the A74 does not. So, could you please answer another important thing : because the A74 does not offer active steady in 1080 Full HD 120fps. Also breathing comp. is only supported up to 60 fps. It does not breathing comp by using 1080 / 120fps. Can the A7cII handle active steady & breathing comp. up to 120fps (1080 HD) thanks❤

[@mndyclough]

Could you explain when/why you would want a full size HDMI vs the micro HDMI? I was also wondering when/why you would use 1/8000 vs 1/4000 shutter and the difference between mechanical vs electronic shutter mode trying to decide between the two cameras as a beginner who only wants to buy once, cry once interested in portrait photography and possibly stock photography thank you for this helpful comparison

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Honestly - you can't do wrong with either. The HDMI full size is for hooking up external monitors (usually for video). It's more reliable and less chance of breaking. You would use 1/8000 mechanical shutter when it's really bright outside because sometimes 1/4000 won't be enough. You can do that with electronic, but that might be an issue if it's a fast moving subject like a car (because you can get rolling shutter). With portraits it shouldn't matter much. I think you'll likely be better off with the A7C II because it has the latest tech, better autofocus, and is a bit cheaper. You probably won't mind the HDMI and you won't need the 2 card slots.

[@burtyb]

Hi Mark, do you really need the Joystick for a7cII or its fine without it? Thats the only thing I am confused with. I am good with a7cII but with the a7iv compared with a7cii im really confused. My plan is to travel around and do more of a video thing. Weight won’t matter to me as well. So 300$ difference today which a7iv is much expensive which one would you recommend for me?

[@itsn1ck]

I don't understand why the low light performance is worse on the C2 when its the same sensor

[@RaymondKPhotoVideography]

Most probably it’s because of a different noise algorithm. The FX3 vs a7s3 has the same. On the FX3 it also results in a bit more noise, but also keeps a lot more details visible, whereas on the a7S3 the noise reduction is much more aggressive and a lot of details are lost. I guess Sony also tweaked the noise algorithm/noise reduction to be less aggressive on the a7cii compared to the a7IV

[@bondgabebond4907]

Where is the A6700. I'm sure it can kick both FF camera's ass. Just kidding. But the a6700 is also one of the new kids on the block. BTW. When going aps-c mode on the A74 and CII, you are using a smaller portion of the FF sensor and that makes sense when it comes to rolling shutter. One thing I'd like Master Mark to check out and make a video on is the improvement in the sensor in the a6700 and how it is getting closer to the FF sensors in all aspects. You are right, this is exciting time, but there is one issue, $$$$. One more thing, the A74 is now badly in need of an update as the CII and a6700 outclass it in the autofocus area. That is the one area I love, the ability to follow planes, trains and automobiles, animals and insects. I can almost do without many other features in lieu of the Ai autofocus. And as many have said, no one has suffered from an SD card failure. My Nikon F2A did fine as I could load only one roll of film in the body.

[@AprilClayton]

Does the new A7CII allow for an eyecup on the EVF? I saw that the old one did not. You had to buy a 3rd party one that slid into the hot shoe. Would like it to be like A6700 but am guessing it doesn’t allow the silicone eyecup to slide on

[@swonghobby]

awesome review and comparison. I think Sony is confusing the heck out of everybody with that many bodies and not enough firmware upgrades. On top of that, there are more headaches from Canon and Nikon as all have similar bodies. I want to upgrade my camera and leaning towards the A7IV, Really like the 33mp sensor and Dual Card, but The headache is A7CII with the new tracking. Canon R6II and the new Nikon ZF is super nice with at least dual card slots. Why Sony, Why? Sony seems to always disappointing with many lacking features that can be put in. Anyway. sorry for the long comment. would it be possible to make a comparison of the R6II, Nikon Zf and A7CII?

[@danielbogos263]

I give you some advice. If you want to buy a7 iv, buy it. Trust me, you will not have regrets. In general, the sony cameras, especially their software is well done and robust so rarely you need an upgrade. A7 iv is a killer like some nikon and canon cameras. But if you want sony, go ahead, buy some nice samyang or sigma cheaper lenses and shoot. You will have fun. Don't think too much about the gear. A7 iv is already a great and powerful camera. I did have the sony a7 iii and oh boy, i miss that camera so much because of all the things I managed to create. I would buy the a7 iii again😅😅. So a7 iv is even better.....easy choice.

Any issues with the weight of the a7cII on a tripod with heavy lens?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

all the really big lenses have collars for tripods and and A7CII is fine with everything

[@joeybailey9628]

is the frame buffer difference between the two very noticeable ?

[@peterthung-u4o]

Hi Thierry The battery for sony zv e1 does it work good?

[@AprilClayton]

Will you do A7C II vs A6700?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Yes indeed

[@kevinheg8814]

How does the cII compare to the 7IV with big lenses. Is the 7CII okay in handling while using a 70-200 or even 200-600?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Yeah - it's fine. Its grip is still decent and with big lenses like that, you support by holding the lens anyway.

[@danielbogos263]

I really notice the problem with a5 C ii in video low light. Obviously, no one will use the 100k iso but you can clearly see that from 32k the a7 iv has cleaner image and less of that green look that sony is trying to get rid of for years. In my experience I will rather have a cooler image cause its easy to edit rather than that green look on the skin. Nightmare in edit😂😂

[@deadman8816]

3:08 i don't know why but the footage from the A7iv looks much cleaner in low light situation

[@kifley19]

Yup. Much better on the A7iv. A7iv is better than the FX3 and A7SIII on iso below 12,800.

[@deadman8816]

@@kifley19 right? but why does a7iv has better low light performance over the a7cii which has exactlly the same sensor?

[@chinogoes69]

Not a big fan of the A7IV mechanical shutter sound. Is it the same in the A7C II or did they change it?

[@IHeartYota]

Can you do a comparison between the a7c2 vs a7s3?

[@HamishEdwards-sy9xz]

hi, can you use the lot for the hdmi output?? and in video mode the A7c2 cant do 1/8000??

[@theargentcompanyllc1342]

Hey, can someone that owns the A7Cii tell me what MB size ranges the 3 Lossless Compressed sizes are when it comes to brackets? Could someone fire a quick test? Shoot 3 brackets 2 stops apart with the Lossless Compressed L, M, and S and tell me those numbers?

[@elguiye_20k]

Beautiful

[@tatianaberecheflores8500]

Excelente 👌

[@redsox7897]

The silver look different from the original a7c or I'm just imagining..?

[@severgun]

Seems like there is only three reasons to buy m4. Storage redundancy for production use. Mechanical shutter/sync speed for production flash photography. Existence of used units

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

yes - also full size HDMI and better evf, more buttons and bigger grip (if you want that)

[@Jimmyageek]

ZV-E1 vs A7C II for Vlogging

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

That will be coming in a vid - but overall the e1 is better for that

[@GreenhornPhototaker]

I hate great reviews like this, thanks for nothing, now I want more gear Mark, lol. Truly though, this was excellent, thank you. bought the a7 iv this spring and I think the A7C II is probably a better fit for my style. Hard decisions.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

haha - yes - tough choice - the good news is that both are amazing

[@rikomendes3694]

Which one is better to get a7c 2 for 2200$ or lumix s5 2?

[@reyhanrahadian]

Damn A7CII color science is that good compare to A7IV

[@ChillVibesAT]

Im very unsure which to be because of the efcs. Can someone help me?

[@ParijatVideographyTV]

A7cii not support type A memory card. But All-i bit rate 600mb... which card best for cii ? I am little bit confused about a7iv or a7cii. Basically I am a wedding photographer. My need both photography and Cinematography.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

get a Sony tough G card

[@DannysHauntedJourney]

Now the real question, is it worth upgrading from the A7C to the 2? That's the real question here. Or, do I go with the ZV-E1 and run both cameras for different reasons?!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

oh - that’s tough. if you don’t plan to shoot log footage, it would be probably best to use your A7C and have the zv-e1 for 4k120 and stabilization
