Modern mirrorless cameras like the new Sony A6700, Sony A7C and Sony A7CR are getting more and more expensive. But many people are looking for a cheap camera, especially a cheap full-frame camera for beginners would be beneficial. Full-Frame cameras have always been aimed at the pro-sumer, not the beginner. If you are, as a beginner or intermediate photographer, are looking to make the leap to a full-frame mirrorless camera the Sony A7 is the cheapest option. APS-C cameras like the Fujifilm X100V, Fujifilm X-Pro series, and Fujifilm X-E4 all offer similar image quality as the Sony A7 but are a significantly more expensive entry into digital mirrorless cameras. In this video I review and test the Sony A7, while using it for landscape photography and action sports photography on a downhill MTB event, and compare it to my Sony A7IV using the Sony 85mm F1.8, Tamron 28-75 f2.8, Tamron 70-300, and Samyang 18mm F2.8.

My A73 for video
Found your channel browsing vids on the Fuji XT30. I'm really enjoying it as an entertaining way to get my camera nerd fix. Keep going. I'm sure your audience is going to keep growing quickly.
Thank you!!! Glad you enjoy my work 😊
Einen deutschen Akzent höre ich bei dir absolut nicht. Deine Videos sind der Hammer. Hab mich mal ein bisschen durchgeklickt. Wahnsinns Qualität!
Hast uns beim Fotografieren im Park echt alt aussehen lassen. Respekt, deine Fotos stechen echt raus. Echt interessant was du aus den Position so raus geholt hast. Spannend, hoffe ich bekomm die Chance nochmal von dir zu lernen ;)
Gruß Lars ;)
Wow, vielen vielen lieben Dank Lars!!! Das ist unglaublich nett von dir 🥰🙏 Ich hoffe wir sehen uns dann bei zukünftigen GFAC events wieder 😁
Thank you for confirming my choice to keep it. I bought my a7 in late 2014 after selling my EOS 50D and all the canon lenses. Got hold of some cool lenses, put them on the a7 and had a great time doing wedding and people photo shoots. Several years later, I quit doing weddings and I still have my a7 today as my only camera. Sold all my lenses except for the 2.0/28 and I'm still more than happy with the image quality. Needed to replace the batteries this year, though.
Damn, goes to show what this camera is capable of! Thanks for sharing :)
Deine Videos sind super hilfreich (für mich als Einstiger :D).
Du hast defenitiv mehr Reichweite verdient!
Vielen Dank! Das freut mich sehr 😊
The best cure for bad autofocus? Manual lenses. That camera rocks.😮
Really good video with solid production, interesting throughout and lots examples to go with your points. You really deserve more subs!
I'm actually buying an A7 to mount my small collection of vintage film lenses on, and to use solely for photography. I did consider the A7R for the higher resolution sensor, but i think it's a bit on of a heavier camera and is also closer to £450 in thr UK compared to £300 for the A7.
In case you ended up buying it, what was your experience? I was thinking of buying one for the same reason.
@@tusharreddy6977hey dude, I did get it yep, had it since March now, and really enjoying it. The only downside is the iso noise isn't fantastic in lower light as it's an older sensor there not back side illuminated. But in decent lighting you can still get some great photos with it and I've enjoyed using a whole host of vintage glass.
Mmmm... love me a good mega-pickle (2:31) 😋 Jokes aside, great video!
I thought it would take longer for someone to find it haha. Thank you!!! 😁
Have an a7s, a7rii, and a7iii. Really love all of them. My one gripe about the 7rii and 7s is how half-pressing the shutter release button automatically exits the magnified view I'm using to nail manual focus while handholding a shot. a7iii is my ultimate FF shooting machine.
I have the a7 ii and a7R ii. Amazing and both really cheap. Used and not the newest, and so what? They work.
Yes, both amazing options! Especially the A7RII is a crazy good value on the used market. Thanks for watching!
Bought mine 2 years ago for £600 oncluding FE,28-80 and a newwer batery grip also all original box and charger manuals etc
Why people want more i will never know The A7 is more than enough
Great video, I really like that you use so many jokes. The topic was also interesting and it was great that you put the camera in the most extreme situation with the downhill track.
looking to buy this as my main potrait camera, thanks for the review. I already have a canon eos r10 to shoot sport and wildlife, the autofocus on that is great. Don't need it that much to shoot potrait, just the bokeh from aps-c sized sensor is a bit awkward to my taste.
I really appreciate and enjoy ur content, you really make it possible to buy something rigid and powerful without breaking the bank or selling kidneys; “not everyone has thousands to spend on a gadget.
Thank you!!! I appreciate it 😊
thats how it happened for me in New york, I don;t know wether it was because of the crop sensor or because of the lens my images were slightly out of focus If you zoome in too much
Great video influencing my decision on my next camera
I just got one with a 50mm lens and battery grip for a steal. The camera had just over 5k shutter count! I have a ZV-E10 and wanted another camera for just photos. If you get one for the right price I think it is still a good option.
How much you pay?
Thank you for making me feel a little better about buying this camera 😂
Toll gemacht. Ich habe bisher auch meistens alte Kameras benutzt. Stelle die auch immer auf eine Pixelzahl zwischen 2-6 MP wegen Datagröße. Trage die am Objektiv, weil die Kameras heutzutage leicht sind im Vergleich zu früher. Obwohl man einem Nikkormat oder einem D200 auch gut am Objektiv tragen kann.
What would you suggest as the optimal buy from A7's for photography only now days?
Skipped the a7 back in the day but fun seeing peopke talk about older gear . Photographers today have so many solid choices for full frame now lucky bastards 😂
2:30 24 megapickle haha
didn't notice it until seeing your comment lol
Fuji xt1 pretty cool too
If I ever come across one for a good price I'll do a video on it!
2:28 "megapickle"
Yeah but your photography skills are just 📈📈📈
Thank you!!!
Strong banana energy

kommst du aus Stuttgart?
When you press the shutter button of this beast of a cam, you can imagine a guillotine crashing down...
😂👏
Sony A7 was a big reason I held off mirrorless as long as possible.
how did it work out for you?
❤
Regarding the AI rebellion - they already are designed to 'shoot people', so... (yep, we are fckd) 😅
Yeah might as well give up while we're ahead 😂
newest cameras look so fake the images look like ai.
