Great video, very interesting new camera and the Sony full frame, form factor is impressive. On a side note, your ability to skate directly into the center of your camera's frame for an intro is a solid skill...

[@Hobbies4Hire]

Great job on the video David! Thanks for making it. I've been wanting to see some content about that lens. Tons of videos out there about the new camera bodies, but not much about the new lens.

[@ChrisMitchells_FlyingCameras]

David, im planning the same - I sold my a7iv and bought the zv-e1 when the zv-e1 was released. Now I plan to sell my a7siii and buy the a7cii. zv-e1 and a7cii will an awesome combo!

[@TwoTimesRmedia]

I like my a7 iv . I think it has everything I need for now . Love the pictures with the deer . Those were nice

[@danwilkinson4948]

Great video David. I hear you talking about the camera and the lens and the pros and cons but my question is what type of memory card do you use? Do use the expense Sony card or generic card to save all those fantastic moments in time you have captured?

[@tanmaysakpalofficial]

What about a6700 vs a7c2 since they're the same form factor but different sensor size. Interesting comparison imo!

[@mahdimrt5748]

Hi, it was great Do you think Sony zv e1 or a7cii is better for video?

[@VanceReviews]

I own an A7c and it can only do 30 minutes of video recording. Have they made any improvements on that?

[@averyhernandez]

I am a hybrid shooter as well, I don’t really use the view finder but does it bother you?

[@Ibz87]

Was thinking of getting a a7cr for photo. Already have the zve1

[@SingerAuto1967]

Do you think you’ll miss the dual card slots giving up the a7iv

[@SnakeEyesSOG]

I knew it! I had a gut feeling the a7c2 was gonna happen soon.

[@VanceReviews]

Hey David, will you be doing a comparison video on the A7c 2 and A7c R?

[@Priyank741]

I''m confused between these 2 cameras I guess I'll buy ZV EV1 first and then A7CII sometime later.

[@flat-out]

I can't afford any of these 😢 especially that A7CR yet alone the 16-35 GM II. I'm just hanging on my A7 III my photo/video workhorse with Zeiss 16-35 F4 and SEL 85 1.8 plus other tamron & minolta A-mount lenses. I'm just a poor part time pro photographer and videographer, my last new cam purchase is just the DJI Action 3 to replace my Hero 8 a treat from my last paid client work.

[@scampifingers]

Sold my A7iv to grab the a7cii love the idea of pair it with th zv e1

[@riparianlife97701]

I will be buying the A7CR in October.

[@user-mr5oi3hp9v]

There is no joystick in A7 C2 so how can I shift focus in easy way

[@chuffedstudio]

First! Love your videos. I’m always waiting for your new uploads. Second, can you also do a review on the new Canon Powershot V10? Thank you!

[@HajongLee]

Do you have videos on the A7IV?

[@MrEddieNunez]

There is one huge problem that no one is talking about. Mostly it’s a “ME” problem. That problem is, what am I going to do with all my older cameras!? I’m a gear hoarder and buy a new cam every six months 🤗😅

[@DavidManningvlog]

Hahahaa! I don’t know, that feels like a SONY problem! They keep releasing these dang things and they get better every time!!!

[@stevec.5638]

Izit bigger than A6700?

[@alexanderreitz321]

how much will this camera cost you? I am just wondering if I should get it as well. also what camera do you use to film your videos originally? also may want to get your cameras you are selling from you at a great price. It would be an honor to film and photograph with a camera that is once belonging to David Manning

[@malynicz_pl]

I wanna buy it already! It's in my BHphoto basket at the moment and I'm processing :D

[@andreschairez8825]

Chooo choooo train ending 😂😂

[@rhyansanpedro]

Here I was thinking A6700 was the cam that I'm going to be working towards then this just just made me want to reconsider 🤔 awesome video as always David!

[@DavidManningvlog]

Thanks man! Yeah, this will for sure be my new vlog rig setup. It's so dang small, shoots incredible video, and shoots incredible photos. And now it has the AI chip🙌

[@rhyansanpedro]

@@DavidManningvlog yeah the AI chip is such a great innovation especially that I shoot vids on my own.

[@badfishgood]

How’s battery life?

[@dquangt]

The a7cii does have the active stabilization.

[@andrewqbaker]

Oof this is a sweet combo. Time to start saving (again).

[@nixone1941]

So a7cii AF is way better than a7iv??

[@xxxtimberwolfxxx]

David....you really need to tell Sony and every company you share with us to give you their products or pay you because I swear I've bought almost everything you've talked about on your channel.

[@wings.on.wheels]

Does a7cii shoots 4k60 cropped or uncropped???

[@sergiypervun]

same as A7IV - cropped

[@DavidManningvlog]

Yep, just like the A7IV, cropped. You can literally just look at this as an A7IV in a smaller body, and add AI chip. All else remains equal

[@FactNight]

What should I choose a 7iv or this one?

[@ChrisMitchells_FlyingCameras]

He lays out all the reasons in this video. The a7cii is basically the a7iv in a smaller body with the new AI and a few other new additions. Only reasons you may want the a7iv over the a7cii is if you just like the larger form factor, or you want the evf, or you need the full size HDMI in the a7iv.

[@sergiypervun]

@@ChrisMitchells_FlyingCameras A7IV has fully mechanical shutter as well, and A7C and A7CII electronic first and kinda half mechanical which has its limitations working with flash and 1/4000 shutter instead of 1/8000 in A7IV.

[@markpalfreeman]

David, are you going to miss the A7IV as a photo camera though?

[@DavidManningvlog]

The A7CII is the exact same camera as far as photo specs go. Same viewfinder, rear screen, all the guts. So as a photo camera, it will be a perfectly lateral move, but as a video camera, the AI chip comes in handy! For both though, the auto focusing is enhanced by that chip, so it's a win win

[@markpalfreeman]

@@DavidManningvlog oh I didn't hear it was the same viewfinder! Other than the smaller eyecup and grip, that does sound pretty attractive...

[@dalejones146]

the A7Cii doesn't have the same EVF as the A7IV. The A7IV's is bigger with higher resolution. The A7IV also has two card slots (one of which takes the very fast CFe type A card), and the A7IV has a full sized HDMI connection, and a mechanical front shutter that can shoot at 1/8000. All that said, however, I'm considering selling my A7IV and buying either the A7CII or A7CR as I love the smaller form factor and the new AI focusing of the new cameras:-)@@DavidManningvlog

[@ShafreelCosmos]

Great video thank you for sharing. You are a brave human for giving up dual memory card slots. I most definitely couldn’t risk that.

[@DavidManningvlog]

For sure depends on what you're shooting! Anything for clients, you're always going to want two cards👍

[@FX3user]

The A74 I had overheated a lot. I had to shoot at 1080 to avoid a shutdown. There is no point in having a camera that you're unable to use its feature set if you cannot use them. Therefore, I sold it and bought the FX3 with built in fan. Problem solved.

[@teamsaunz]

Wow, I thought you had like 10 cameras…or is that action cameras?

[@jaymills1720]

Curious what makes the a7c2 $800 more valuable than a6700

[@flat-out]

A Full frame Sensor plain and simple.

[@jaymills1720]

@@flat-out oh - I’m not noticing a big difference between either I guess.

[@tanmaysakpalofficial]

Same! Even I'm curious to know. Except the sensor the a6700 actually does better than the a7c2

[@erg1450]

@@tanmaysakpalofficial the A6700 grip is better (larger), body is not the same (custom buttons are different) , A6700 noise should be worst than 7CII

[@johnowens8530]

What about rolling shutter with video? Many reviews really complain that it’s strong

[@BrandonTalbot]

That is tiny.

[@DavidManningvlog]

Sort of unreal that they could fit a full frame camera with AI chip in that thing!

[@mike_s_media]

I'm not saying the new AI tracking isn't good but what's with you guys all trying to act like the previous non AI tracking system is bad? I've been shooting with my a7SIII and Alpha 1 since they came out and literally don't miss shots. I really don't understand the constant sales pitch with these new AI bodies. They are better but it really is marginal compared to the previous line of cameras. More so acting like that's the only camera feature that matters... overheating, redundant shooting (dual memory cards), full size HDMI port, tethering, and so many other things are far more important than AI tracking or train mode... Oh well, to each their own. I came here for the lens not the camera! And yes I've used the AI tracking it's marginally better in real world scenarios but to really see it shine you have to absolutely dumb down your shooting with the previous tracking system ie you have to put the camera in a scenario that you wouldn't shoot in regardless of the AI or Non AI tracking.

[@PlayingOnThePiano]

It's literally a sony commercial. I completely agree with your points

[@rozentals_photography28]

a7c is a crap camera and not a matter what kind of functions is in there !!! why ???? because it have only 1 card slot - ONLY 1 SLOT !!! for any photographer that is nightmare because if memory card will stop work you can loose all photos and dont have 2nd card what usually save in that situations

[@TungstenOvergaard]

2.200$ for a firmware update…, thanks Fuji, thanks Nikon for taking care of your customers.

[@lewcehjitl3282]

Nikon? 😂

[@USGrant21st]

Sony colors still suck.

[@DavidManningvlog]

I feel like most of Hollywood would tend to disagree with that now
