    Fellow a7c ii owner here and I absolutely love this little dude both for photos and videos. Have a cage permanently attached to it so I can easily rig this up for video work which also addresses the "pinky finger issue" people with larger hands tend to have with this camera. It's still smaller than an a7iv though.

    I went A7CR. Got so used to the A7RV and love the smaller form factor. Going to pick up the 40mm G or Samyang 45/1.8 as main driver for that smaller cam. Another reason to go for the bigger 61MP sensor is you get a lot of pixels even in S35 mode (so go ahead an use your smaller lenses) without degradation.

    Thank you for the video. My newest two camera travel kit has both the A7CII and A7CR. I’m very happy with them both and tuning my lens kit for them. Both Sony’s small G series lenses and Sigma’s I-Series f/2 primes are great choices I think. I do plan to consider adding the new f/2.8 G zooms for when I don’t want to switch lenses. The 24-50/2.8 and 16-25/2.8 look very promising. Do you plan to try any of these? Let us know. Take care.

    Been debating the A7cii vs. the ZV-E1 for a compact video camera, I am wondering if I would lose out on anything by going A7Cii? Would I lose dynamic range (besides low capability)?

    • @VictorLaforteza
      @VictorLaforteza  Před 2 měsíci

      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. Other than that very similar if you expose well and grade it! It’ll be up to what you need from a camera! For me the deciding factor was the 33mp photos and EVF. Makes a good hybrid camera

    Hi, I have a similar setup (a7cii/ 24m. 2.8) without a nisi 49mm nd filter. I'm going on a bikepacking tour soon and am thinking about which nd filter I should buy. I want to keep my setup as minimal as possible. Do you think for Video Nisi 1-5 variable should be enough? or should I buy + 5-9 as well? and do you also use mist filters? Cool Shoots btw.

    • @VictorLaforteza
      @VictorLaforteza  Před 25 dny +1

      I think 1-5 is good! On high noon or super bright days, you might need to be around f8 with 5 stops on the VND. If you need that shallow depth of field 5-9 is a must but I get by with 1-5 just fine!

  • @edventures9884
    @edventures9884 Před měsícem

    Sony a7iv was my dream camera but after this came out I think this might be my next camera instead. I do prefer the bigger body on he a7iv but the main reason I would get a7cii is for the ai features , autofocus , and the Lut integration but the a7iv has a better viewfinder + Analog stick and more memory slots ,this is honestly a tough decision lol but so far I’m leaning towards a7cii unless I can find a solid deal on a used a7iv.

    I am thinking to stepping up from sony A6000 and have only 2 contestants, which you know very good - this camera or A6700. I shoot pics, but also do videos and have already Tamron APSC lens and sony 35mm f 1.8 FF. Something draws me towards A7CII, although lens are more expensive. Do you have any recommendation?

    • @VictorLaforteza
      @VictorLaforteza  Před měsícem

      If you have all the budget, do the a7cii because it's slightly better, You also have the 35mm 1.8 to use right away. If limited budget, the a6700 is perfect. You get to use the same lenses and it's got the fx30 sensor. You'd feel right at home with it! Hope that helps!

      It was the a7cii or this zve1 for me before I purchased. I ended up with the a7cii for the EVF and the photography features. I really wanted a smaller a7iv which fit the bill from what I needed for a camera. The ZVE1 is better for video but I want to take photos with EVF! If you're video focused, ZV-E1 is a great choice. For hybrid, a7cii!

    The best camera I've ever owned and I've had many cameras from Olympus, Panasonic, Canon, Nikon, Pentax and Sony, but I'm not exactly young anymore either. For the camera I have the following lenses: Sony 24mm.f.2.8 G / Sony 40mm.f.2.5 G / Sony 35mm.f.1.4 GM / Sony 50mm.f.1.4 GM / Sigma 17mm.f.4 DG DN and Sigma 90mm .f.2.8 DG DN.

    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!
