This was an AWESOME video!! Thanks for bringing us along on your trip. I agree about Sony APS-C getting stupid good right now. I have been using the 16-55 / 70-350 combo on my A7RV and am LOVING the results. Since you have essentially the same camera in A7CR, you'd probably feel the same way. The video quality on the A7RV is actually the best in APS-C mode. The only caveat is that it's capped at 4K/30p. However, if you manually turn off crop mode on your camera, you can still shoot with APS-C lens and then crop another 0.2 further in post to get similar framing and nearly as good results. If I was in your situation, I'd choose one or the other 16-35 vs 24-70 - wouldn't make sense to keep both unless you are using them a ton.
Thanks! I figure I have about a year, where FF will be ideal for photo (unless I start getting more paid jobs), but after that APSC would make more sense. Even now I"m enjoying shooting video on it more and more...this video (talking head portion) shot on 11mm 1.8 and I think it looks pretty good. That's a good point about cropping in a little in 4k60 I'll have to give that a look, thanks for the tip.
Sensor dust from stopping down at @00:27.. oops.. the opening video was great- nice and colorful and sharp and detailed. I some how manage to mess up fireworks. Yours look great. The second half, I didn't get that feeling of high quality sharp colorful video. Maybe it was the sky being more of a problem.
good eye on the dust...didn't even notice it. I got lucky on the fireworks. It was cloudy and going in and out of shad probably had something to do with the video quality.
Peach ice cream is the best!
TRUTH
