Sony A7C vs A7CII Comparison - Worth the upgrade?

[@ItsMeHammie]

I preordered the A7Cii, canceled, and bought the A7C plus 4 lenses for the same money (24mm G, 40mm G, 75mm Samyang 1.8, and TT Artisan 50mm .95). I'm not a pro and I think this setup is more financially reasonable for my uses as a photographer.

[@husseinaliabdulzahraal-dul1575]

Yobro how did you get 4 lenses?

[@ItsMeHammie]

@@husseinaliabdulzahraal-dul1575 I replied to you in the other video. I bought them separately and on the used market.

[@dubenick]

Yes, thats def the way to go, especially if you did not have any kit in the first place

Great video - extremely helpful and pushed me to stick with the A7C since really mostly a photographer. I like your honesty on a lot of new cameras really being smaller iterations rather "game changers". Thanks for the video!

[@jacksnacks7686]

This is actually the most useful comparison video I have come across. Thank you!

I’ve been waiting for a video like this. Thanks for putting in the work!

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MrLilspooky100]

Thanks for getting straight to the point, did not have to skip anything!

[@PhilKnall]

Great job on the video. Im a hybrid shooter so definitely going to upgrade, but if I was stills focused I'd be very conflicted. The new evf is a great help though. Its basically like the eliminated the little black frame that the old one had.

[@unklarnamenpflicht]

I love your videos. They really answer the question you ask in the video title. Thanks

[@patatipatata9726]

Hi Julia, ccould you please make a comparison video about colours in portrait between Sony A7IV vs A7C II? Thanks in advance.

[@ivanchan8242]

Thanks for sharing, happy to keep my A7C for another few years and wait for A7C3

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

Very interested to see a review of the medium format Fuji and fujifilm 55 1.7!

[@spezil3455]

Thx very much! I am looking for 7c, i think its also a good camera for animals photography or do you rather recommend the a7 iv? :)

[@saliwanpl1832]

I liked and still like my a6000, but after switching to the a7iii, what I loved most was its larger size and more buttons.

[@AliA-we2uu]

Thank you Julia for the helpful comparison video! Good luck and keep creating!

[@juliatrotti]

Glad it was helpful!

[@gansosyaguacates]

great comparison - good job

[@tsizzle]

One advantage that A7c has over A7c2 is battery life. 740 CIPA vs 540 CIPA.

[@dandanu2526]

That's all?

[@gordon3988]

Appreciate the review…I often found I preferred the A7c, just looked a bit more realistic. Subjective of course.

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed!

[@Roddriley]

Was waiting for it long before it came out. Was considering getting it with the sigma 24-70 f2.8 art but now I m more into the tamron 28-75mm f2.8 g2. This range a, ideal for me. Coming from canon rp. The best rf lenses, are way beyond my reach and the lack of third party Lenses s really a drawback

[@saweksz.1250]

Super porównanie. Dziękuję śliczna pani.

Just curious - what is the cable being used from at 5:28? Great comparison video - really helpful 😃

I love these cameras. I have two mark 1s and I’m looking forward to getting a mark 2

Which mic you're using?. really good quality.

[@rajlovinglife]

I was hopping you would talk about the dedicated AI chip for tracking human faces and subjects as well as objects... Nice comparison between the two the video capabilities and IBIS are great as well... 👍

[@winterhappy25]

What lens would u reccomend for travel? Nothing too bulky.Thank you

[@donl7737]

Thank you Julia for saving me a few hundred bucks, as A7c is my secondary camera to the R5

[@onerugrat]

what your take on a7c2 vs a7cr? haven't heard that there is a big difference in low light? if that's the case seems like a7cr would be the way to go?

[@jigjitsu5599]

Im very happy with my A7c. I just got it last month for $1050 1.5k shutter ❤ It’s a nice backup to my a7iii but i must say i like it better lol

[@jigjitsu5599]

@@Pim-b6n i like rangefinder style evf, it’s smaller, it looks better imho and of course the AF is very very snappy.

[@tomirwinphoto]

@@Pim-b6n For me the a7III is much easier to use with a clearer, brighter EVF, front dial and more + better controls. Putting them side by side, especially with a lens, you'll feel minor difference in weight. BTW, I've got an a7c with only 377 shutter clicks plus 28-60 kit lens for sale.

[@tomirwinphoto]

@@Pim-b6n How does $1550 sound?

[@yashveeraudit]

where did you get it at this price ?

[@pw5391]

Hi does the a7cii 4k60 lose video quality when it goes into crop mode compared to full frame? thanks

[@TobikTK]

hey, I have a question for you because I heard that the Sony a7c ii is "more plastic" than the first version a7c, something like the zv e1. Does this only apply to the black version or is the silver version also made of the same material as the black one?

[@pats_seidl]

nice video. thank you

[@PlayGameToday]

Hello, Julia! Can you tell what Mic did you use in this video?

[@CreatedbyAvi]

I am trying to open A7C ii raw photos on the Mac. However, preview or photos app doesn't support it. Is anyone experiencing the similar issues? Thanks

[@bassistdadakan8915]

is a7c ii have dual native iso like a7iv ??

[@Satya2408]

Can anyone help me understand if I can buy Sony a7 ii now for a better deal, I mostly use it for home purposes.

[@Harvester88]

I wonder if they will ever add the focus joystick on the A7C series bodies. I have an A7iii, and I don’t know how I’d handle that adjustment. Outside of that, the A7C ii is pretty much everything I’d want out of a camera.

[@juliatrotti]

I don't think they will, I think that's reserved for the A7III/A7IV dual card slot series instead! If I need to use it, I either use the back dial as a joystick or use the touch screen to set my focus point. But yeah, I definitely prefer the joystick on my A7IV.

[@USGrant21st]

I don't think they will ever add a joystick to A7C series, and probably it will disappear from the other bodies in the future as well. Let's face it, with good tracking it's unnecessary and probably most people never use it even if they have it. I personally never touched joystick on any of my recent cameras.

[@Cthames123]

I have a A7 IV (with joystick), and it comes in handy during the cold weather months when wearing gloves and I can’t touch the screen to focus, as I would normally.

[@jamesbarron5590]

I own the a7c and bought an a7iv a few months ago. I will probably upgrade at some point but I will stick with the a7c for now because I don’t shoot video much. The slightly bigger grip is nice but it is funny how now everyone likes the a7c form factor. Most people disliked the a7c’s smaller size and design and now you cannot find them in stock. Granted it does have upgrades but the main reasons I also added an a7iv still remain. I wanted to have the two card slot backup and the better grip and better evf. I do prefer the offset evf myself. My favorite lens is the Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8 so a bigger body makes more sense. I now have the FE 20mm f/1.8 on my a7c. Thanks for video.

[@ramblr5900]

can you tell what type of SD card do you have each camera? I am thinking about getting V30 card instead of V60. Second Question: If you had give up one the A7C or A74 which will you give up and why?

[@jamesbarron5590]

@@ramblr5900 I use both V30 and V60 cards. But since I mostly do photo v30 is fine for me. If I had to choose I would pick the a7iv. The ergonomics are just better. I haven’t tried the a7cr and the new grip but the a7iv feels better and the evf is great as well. Now, if I was only going to use smaller lenses, then the a7c is great. I also own a Fujifilm x-pro3 and an x-e4 and a7c is slightly bigger than the x-e4 and slightly smaller than the x-pro3. So it really comes down to what type of lenses you will be using and how you will be carrying them. The a7c fits nicely in a peak design 3L sling with a 50mm and 85mm f/1.8’s. The a7iv with Tamron 35-150mm I use a Tenba Top loader or just bought a Tenba 16L Fulton backpack. Freakin amazing backpack. Hope that helps.

[@artphototech]

AC7ii for the dial additions alone.

[@jsshsua7824]

Lens name Please?

[@j.f.7509]

Very useful comparison. I find the a7c colours nicer.

[@katseazzz]

it is actually the sony a7cii has this silly greenish colors that is difficult to fix..so as i am seeing in a few years everyone will try to find the og a7c

[@jukeboxjohnnie]

Im aiming for the a7cr, life is too short not to

[@RamisDad]

Watched this review. Convinced me to keep the A7c

[@MarcEstrella]

Julia if you were deciding between a7cii or a7cr which would it be? Like to hear other peoples point of view

[@juliatrotti]

For me, 33 megapixels is more than enough for the kind of work I do. I don't have a real need for the R series in general, same goes for the A7RIV and V, while they are both amazing cameras, I have no real need for those file sizes in my workflow.

[@MarcEstrella]

@@juliatrottithanks a ton for the reply! I was going to get the A7Cr as my everyday camera for family friends and just general purpose but saving money is nice haha I’ll be getting my a7cii tomorrow

[@vishalv]

Majority of users watching aren't looking to upgrade from A7C. They are either buying the first DSLR (unlikely), or moving up from entry-level DSLRs. So it's helpful to include content on 'In which cases should you buy A7C ii over A7C given the price difference'. Great content btw!

[@18yearsoldnot]

A7c2 would be a pro camera if it had dual card slots like zf did where they have a micro sd and full size sd. I was really excited about Nikon zf but they didn’t make it small like I wanted so now considering switching systems 😢, but a7c2 doesn’t have the redundancy of the dual card slots… this sort of makes me want to keep my Nikon z5 as my pro photo cam… so annoying I have to carry two different systems though

[@obscurelight]

Sony's 24 mp of the a7iii and a7c is legendary, best skin color among all recent cameras

[@RobertLPoole]

A7c ii looked cooler… and also seemed to have slightly worse noise. Can you confirm?

[@USGrant21st]

Until we get the raw support for A7Cii files it's all meaningless. Most people process raw and it never looks like OOC jpegs. I'm not buying a new camera until DXO released raw support, that's the only software I care about. That's planned for November.

[@redsox7897]

you don't need more than 10 mpix for social media. 4K photo is 8MP!! With 24 mpix you can get 24x16 inch prints. I don't need the latest A7C II maybe someone else does but I only post pictures for online purposes and print very rarely. I also shoot 4K 25p almost all the time. I only have two 2K monitors so why do I need more.

[@AlainKapture]

The only thing holding me back is not my A7C is not the camera but myself, so the money is better invested in travelling and co.

[@kylesharbrough1817]

Coming from a sony a6400, should i get the sony a7cii or sony a7riii?

[@irmaocarmo8296]

Coming from a6400, the original a7C is enough. You don't need a7CII.

[@adden2242]

Great shots.. just cant afford Any of those, once those cameras arrive here in the Philippines the price is double!! outrageous.

[@castrofamlped2004]

a7c body cost 1800usd international which is 99,000 pesos. The cost of a7c body from Sony Philippines is 89,900 with 3 years warranty. Some non Sony stores can actually sell it lower.

[@GemmaHentsch]

Actually makes me think that if and when I get another FF camera, while I'd love the A7CII I could be tempted by the much cheaper A7C

[@Cthames123]

I also like the idea. Especially if looking into the used market. It’d be a great value if one could get a gently used A7C, (hasn’t been dropped or abused), for ~$1100. For me, my thought is to use the A7C as a possible option to replace my smaller Every day camera Sony ZV1. I have a A7 IV already, and wouldn’t be interested in the newer A7C II, (not enough compelling reasons to spend the extra money) and I got it 6 mos. ago. Now the 60MP, A7CR on the other hand would be the one to save for for me, as it would be a significantly different shooting experience with the 7stops of IBIS and the ability to crop the heck out of photos.

[@glennsak]

The A7C ll has slightly more blue cast to skin tones.

[@patatipatata9726]

great

[@KiraBiel]

A7c is worth it for money.. but a7c II having latest tech speciallly 33MP its Wow.

[@sskribbla]

Its so weird I have the a7c and the a7c2 but each time my original a7c has out performed the a7c2. I would say that the auto focus is amazing on the a7c2 but thats it

[@Pfagnan]

@sskribbla What exactly do you mean by outperform? A7C ii has better Ibis, better EVF, AI chip, S-Cinetone and 10 bit 422, plus an extra custom button, a better grip AND a front dial! I don’t follow your reasoning and I can’t wait to upgrade

[@journalistSalmanJanOfficial]

Your eyes are so cute that we forget the lenses

[@tubularificationed]

Too bad, now with the A7C Mark II, the alternative option A7IV feels a bit broken😏 Because many will want those A7C II improvements (AF, IBIS, etc) but back-ported into an A7 body. Especially photographers having their dominant eye = their viewfinder eye on the left side. With all rangefinder style cameras, the nose gets in the way then 😣 The A7 C II makes many look forward to an A7 V now 🙂

[@kevc.2958]

I like everything about the a7cii but it doesn't have full mechanical shutter

[@DDHDTV]

It's a shame Sony doesn't do proper software updates. Ok, no AI chip on here, but many other features in the past could have just been ported

I own an a7IV. I would never trade it for a 7C II. The better viewfinder, joystick and two SD card slots make the difference for me. The size difference isn't really that big in everyday life with a lens. I just find the look of the C II much more attractive.

[@ishooter8061]

Let me tell you honestly. If you already have the a7c you don’t need to upgrade to a7cii. They want you to buy it like iphones from 13,14,15 pointless. Save money upgrade to a more significant higher end model when you need it professionally. The camera companies just pushes everyone to buy new things.

from my experience i had only fails with SD card when i removed and put in Card reader, that is a critical part and sometimes the card can fail, also i learned that the best way to deal with a camera with a single car slot is not removing the card and download from the cable connection.
