Sony A7CII Review

[@Soundwave857]

small correction the a7cII has 8 customizable buttons while the larger ones have 12 customizable buttons

[@WayneFolkes]

Nice video. I think you’ve correctly identified the kind of consumer who would buy this camera. I upgraded to the A7Cii from the A7ii a few days ago. I wanted the improved features and smaller form factor. I shoot primarily stills as a hobby and for friends and family so I didn’t need the pro features of the A7iv. I am excited about the video features in this camera and may try my hand at videography.

Thanks for watching!

The perfect lenses can be the small ones from Sony: 24mm.f.2.8 G and 40mm.f.2.5 G plus 50mm.f.2.5 G or a couple of the small ones from Sigma, e.g. together with two of the previously mentioned: 17mm.f.4 and 90mm.f.2.8 .....

Now the price is the same for A7iv and a 7 cii , which one is to get ?

Thanks for the kind words!

[@Camping-Turtle]

Excellent video! Thanks ser.

[@godavaridosth5170]

Sony a7c 2 & sony A7 4 Two cameras best camera????

[@chosenideahandle]

Revisiting this great video! Another great option now (on the wide end) is Sigma's 10-18 f2.8 for APS-C. It also covers a full frame sensor at 13mm, of course no stabilization (but faster). When shooting 4K 60, it's going to make my life less painful lol.

[@jeversion1]

I’ve owned the a7iv. I sold it for this camera for a chance to own it the second time. I am not getting as much paid word so I don’t need the two card slots etc. I also had neck surgery and it was giving me issues. Also lastly. I always want to take this way more often. Where as I was babying the iv. Before Sony I was using Fuji so this is closer to that with way better auto focus and low light. I think people get too into specs and not think about certain things

[@fendushi]

Thank you for this review, very comprehensive.

[@HueNarcisWorld]

Great review and very natural !

[@ar72204]

Ed what are the lenses you would recommend if you feel the Zeiss 55mm isn't going to push it to the max? I mean from the newer lenses Sony is offering.

[@Abuzhumagulov]

HI, interesting video, why would you not use It for a paid assignment ? ( not professionally ?)

[@evaheimisdottir2234]

I’m considering this camera. I like the small form factor and it’s features. Thank you for a good review. Greetings from Iceland.

Hey I love the video I'm currently debating whether to get the a7cii with the Sony 50mm f/ 2.5 lens. Or get the Sony a6700 with the kit 10-20mm lens along with the sigma 30mm f/1.4 lens. My ultimate goal is just to take videos and edit them to have them look cinematic like some I've seen online. As well as take some pictures, but mostly videos. Please help, l've done extensive research and the a6700 is loved by many, and I can't find much information on the a7c ii (maybe due to the crazy price difference). Yet again great video!!

[@danielschaller-digitalcrealab]

If largely if not only for video you might want to consider the ZV-E1, it's kind of a mini 7SIII/FX3

[@Confluxi]

I have a Sony a1 but I kinda want a flip out screen and more portable cam. Do u think this one would be worth or maybe the a7c which dropped a lot in price

[@yngfireman]

I have a Canon 5d mrk4 ... I want to switch for low light video and stills.... but I still don't know which to get A7iv , Fx3 or Cii because I want to do both.... suggestions please

[@jean-philippeperetti8463]

I own both an A7RV (ouch, my budget still tries to recover, and A7CII). Both cameras have surprised me with the quality of photos taken in Auto mode. Impressive. Now, if only Sony offered us a good quality full frame, AF, pancake lens... Instead, I have a 24mm G and a 40mm G.

[@hskpictures9314]

I have 1 question, What a mechanical shutter and percial mechanical shutter main different?

[@lancealbon46]

I have the Sony a7rii which I mainly use for Milky Way photography. I’m considering this new Sony a7cii because of all the additional features like insect tracking and vehicle tracking, to maybe expand my photography a bit. However, I’m also watching a private sale listing of a used Sony a7riv for a couple hundred dollars less than the new Sony a7cii - I know, “first world problems” hey.

[@ghas4151]

I just got this camera with the 50 f1.2 GM as my first foray into Sony. Currently have the Nikon Z9, so I’m going from one extreme to the other. 😂

[@Princeton_James]

This is so appealing. The AI is so good but i could really use the extra custom button and the better ergonomics.

[@GTRnissan2000]

I was looking at ZV E1, but then I found this video and it changed my mind 😂 🎉

[@micheltheodorou1110]

Thanks for the review, this is a pro camera.

[@geuskoeman721]

helpful,thanks

[@PlayGameToday]

The silver version will get scratches and rust over time. I advise you to buy the Black version.

[@renexwing1546]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙈🙈🙈 Rust🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@SteveRunciman]

not a photographer, still love the camera reviews

[@TheDigitalDigest]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@TVe200]

The EVF is still to bad, and placed wrong for left eye users.

[@BlueHawk80]

nice video but please add chapters next time!!

[@Virksomhedsvideo]

I just brought the A7C II, and im very disappointed. It not compatible with any of my Linses like sigma, samyang and soo on.. huge disappointment.. :/

[@BlueHawk80]

are you are troll or just dumb? any e-mount lens is compatible!

[@fotomats8651]

@@BlueHawk80 some c2´s freezzes with 3d party lenses... He´s right about it

[@TheDigitalDigest]

I'm recovering from major surgery. This review was filmed a while back.

[@Real_Matt]

put timestamps in man - it's the getting the point when people don't it makes me think they are less credible.

[@CaleMcCollough]

Why is there no p30 H.265 recording on Sony cameras? They only have p24/p25, p50/p60, and p120. That is infuriating. I need p30 for KZbin and I really don't want to use p60 or p24 converted to p30 for KZbin. p24 doesn't look right unless you have a 24Hz monitor. I'm thinking about switching to Panasonic over this.
