A7cii is sharper as well due to oversampled 6k to 4k but zve1 would be soft and pleasing with a slight bump in dynamic range and extreme low light.

Isn't the 26.8ms rolling shutter a bit too painful at 4K@24fps? I mean even 15ms is kinda a lot, but of course talking from an A7SIII perspective which I wished it had faster readout as well than 8.7ms. That's comparable to A7Rv's 8K rolling shutter speed and as much as the crop mode 4K@24fps on it. Overall, I would opt for the A7CR for that form factor, but A7CII is still a brilliant camera.

I don’t mind it and when I was shooting client work with the a7iv I never had a client say “that rolling shutter is noticeable” these are campaigns that have fast panning action like motocross, dancing, and racing. I think it’s very noticeable to us filmmakers but I also think it’s just us looking for perfect cameras 😂 cameras nowadays are wild!

@@VictorLaforteza Yeah for client work it won't matter. I'm more of a wildlife filmmaker myself, and shooting my documentary film about biting midges here, even at 7.7ms of 4K@120fps at an extreme total 7x magnification, I could notice some minor jello-effect sometimes. Not sure if you gonna find someone else complaining about A7SIII/FX3 rolling shutter though, haha. Here's the film (English version) if it's something you care about and wanna see these annoying insects up close: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKHUp6GdZtiAh5o Highly considering the A9III but for now I need to get the A7Rv as a photography beast for weddings and as a great B-cam using 8K for interviews for multi-cropping options.

@@Bo_Hazemah yes I see it!! That’s definitely a no for wildlife. I could see why the a9iii with that global shutter would be perfect for it! Thanks for sharing it’s good to know the fx3 / a7siii still shows rolling shutter on longer focal lengths / macro for wildlife.

@@VictorLaforteza As far as I know, the Venice 2 has the fastest rolling shutter out there with less than 3ms. Both A1 and Z8/9 have like 4ms and 3.7ms respectively but in photo mode, in video they're more like 15ms or faster using pixel binning and other trickery, which can still look great to be honest. I think outside sport and wildlife, filmmaking is much more forgiving nowadays with how good gear has become. Dreaming of getting the Freefly Ember S5K if I can get some sponsorship on future docs! So far docs are just a complete money drain to me but it's my absolute joy and passion in life. Trying to learn from guys like you how to improve and be better with cinematography. Warm greetings!

Hi, would you prefer this camera to the Sony ZV E1 in terms of photo and video quality?
@VictorLaforteza4 ай бұрын
Yes! But the zv-e1 is just a bit better in video since it’s an a7siii fx3 sensor ! Just depends if you need photo or not

Do you think a6700 is still comparable to a7c ii?
@VictorLaforteza3 ай бұрын
Yep! I’d say the only difference would be a slight better low light on A7Cii but it’s so close that getting a6700 would be the better choice for budget.

The C series Sony cameras aren’t that great. It does what it does but not having all the fancy buttons like a regular full frame camera is a big turn off.

That’s why they separated it. Some people don’t need it and some do but I do get how nice the extra buttons are from the full bodies!
