I dont get why people even compare them, completily different cameras. ZV is a vlog-based videocentric camera that has 12 mp and no EVF, while A7C is a compact 33mp (dope stills, good video) hybrid. They dont even slighty compare and are aimed at 2 different markets.
Photos, if you plan to use the camera as a hybrid camera you’ll get better photos with the a7cii over the zve1. The ability to shot 4K with crop sensor lenses/mode, Plus a slightly better form factor use the a7cii.
Wow literally just came home with mine. And look my favorite videographer drops a video saying your coming to Sony. I can’t wait to see what you do with this. Keep doing your thing bro!
You totally missed that the ZV E1 is more likely to overheat for longer form video content like podcasts, interviews or livestreams so it’s better for short run and gun clips especially with lots of movement
Get yourself the Phantom Luts and shoot slog3. Protect your highlights and if it looks good, it is good. Yes there are a lot of picture profiles but most only use slog3. It’s much easier than it used to be. Can’t wait to see what you make!
This is actually like my dream camera! Love the look of the body and just great for hybrid use! Since you’re testing out the camera and it is for stills and video you should make a video testing out the photo side! Not sure if you’re too into that realm but would love to see it! Also, flats are better than drums!
I bought this camera a few days ago. I am not a professional content creator just a hobbyist who shoots primarily stills. I was upgrading from the A7II. I bought this camera to get a smaller form factor and most of the bells a whistles of the A7IV. I could see how this camera could not be for everyone but I think it suits me just fine
I’m new to your channel and it looks like you primarily produce video content. The a7c series of cameras is meant to be a more portable version of Sony’s entry level cameras; the a7 series. The a7cII is really for the people that want to shoot both photo and video, and want the camera that does it to be small and light - usually for travel. Ultimately: if someone came to me and said they wanted a jack of all trades camera that they could take on the road for travel, this is what I’d recommend to them.
You will definitely like FX3 or ZV-E1 even better than A7Cii. Having the same quality across 24-60-120 fps is just amazing! No crop, no resolution loss or quality loss. And I just love this 12mp sensor. Also the lowlight performance even better. You just have to remember to stick around two native ISOs
When you've been doing video so long you forget people use cameras for stills 😅 I've been using the a7c since it came out, i wanted a full frame, rangefinder style body for so long because vintage lenses get cropped so bad on crop sensors. I use it for video primarily, but also a ton of stills when im at a competition for work. It's a great little hybrid body. (flats are better than drums)

I would give the FX3 a shot my guy! it might not be the BEST photography camera, but for video? a great value , the ZVE1 would be great if it didnt have a weird overheating history
Love this review.. I'm actually selling my A7IV for the A7CII, its got all the features I could ask for to give professional results in a compact unassuming body.. pair it with some apse glass and its a perfect travel cam. It can be a bit intimidating carrying my A7 iv about. I love that Sony fit these features in such compact bodies

The a7iv/a7c ii is solid for stable sticks shots (oversampled), but the rolling shutter is pretty heavy for gimbal movement or handheld. You’re sacrificing rolling shutter for the 32mp sensor. Yeah ZVE1 would be a more video move since it’s basically an a7s iii on slim fast Rolling shutter values: A7s iii/fx3/fx6 8.7ms R5c/c70 15.5ms A7iv/a7c ii 26.8ms
THIS is the experience I did NOT get with these tests, it’s really hard to experience rolling shutter when you’re filming yourself in a tripod. Thanks for this info
@@YCImagingI shoot fast action automotive video with my A7iv and the rolling shutter is very noticeably when doing quick pans. I absolutely love it for photos but definitely considering an FX3 or something similar for video strictly. Global shutter I doubt will come to mirrorless cameras because it’s technically “older” technology, but in my kind of work it’s honestly really needed to combat distortion. Genuinely considering a RED Komodo X just because of this.
This is another reason I got the R6 II over the A7IV. 2x faster rolling shutter (about 13ms on the R6 II) and full frame 4K60... and much faster photography speeds too.@@mcintosh.motors
Hey man, amazing video! Just wanted to know something... do you decrease the sharpness on your videos (in post) or while shooting (in the camera itself) ?? The footages look kinda soft compared to the one I get from my camera. Don't get me wrong, it looks nice hence asking...
So excited to see you got the A7CII! I’ve been using the A7C for photography and love it, but I recently picked up the ZV-E1 for more video work. I was debating between the A7CII and the ZV-E1 though. Still not sure if I made the right decision lol Flats are better than drums
I’ve had my canon 5d mark 3 for 10 years and need a new camera but thinking a7c ii would be a nice purchase how’s the low light performance, what flash do you use?
Had a canon ae1 back in the 70’s. Just got back into photography. Was going Canon. Ran across a LauraBC, who just switched to Sony from Canon. I got the A7C2, trying to figure out the menu. Im very happy with this decision.
Zve1 is for vlogging with short format video. It has overheating issues. The a7cii is for hybrid shooters. It has 33MP for photos also. Zve1 is basically just for vlogging.
I have the ⍺7C mk 1 and have been enjoying it since I bought it. The ⍺7C II has address most of the shortcomings I felt that the 1 had. 4K60, front dial, slightly bigger grip, slightly better EVF, and the new menu system + touch! Planning on upgrading to this and handing down the mk 1 to a family member. It DOES suck that the 4K60 is cropped unlike the ZV-E1 (it's mostly geared to video, and I'm a hybrid shooter), but at least it's present so I can deal with it. Oh, and FLATS ARE BETTER THAN DRUMS.
Flat are better than drums. My favorite youtube creator. Your storytelling in vlogs has gotten so much better over the years. I'm loving this camera but my budget isn't there yet. I'll save for it but should I get this or a6700 for a more versatile camera? Or keep my a6000 for backup for taking photos
Always keep in mind the purpose of the camera. The C-series cameras are the compact full frame bodies intended for travel and enabling folks to roll with a high quality setup that won’t kill your back. They give you _most_ of the important features of the full body versions (the A7C II is the travel version of the A7IV but with the AI chip added). It is a very flexible hybrid camera for photographers that need to be light and nimble. However, it really doesn’t make a lot of sense putting heavy GM lenses on it - unless it is your only camera. I’m not a pro but I’ve been shooting on Canon longer than my adult children have been alive (since 2004). I dabbled with Sony with the A6600, then got the A7C (original). Now, I have the A7RV. I suppose I’m all in at this point. I still have my Canon 6D which I might keep for astro and give my other Canon gear to my kids. The A7C II is a hybrid travel camera. It’s neither a photo nor video centric camera - it does both decently well. It’s not a full body with all the custom buttons and dials. It’s a travel camera that happens to be full frame. It’s a darn awesome one too.
I agree it doesn’t make sense w a7iv and zv e1 and a7r4. If you need a hybrid go w a7iv. If video centric zv e1. If photo centric go with a7riv. I see really no benefits w a7cii except for slightly lower price (just get a7iv used).
The only reason I would like an A7CII, being a ZVE1 owner, is for photography. ZVE1 has issues with banding because of no mechanical shutter. 12 megapixels is sometimes limiting when cropping photos. I like the A7IV, but want a smaller body.
Why a7c ii over the zv-1? No anxiety regarding over heating with regard to long form content. Super-35 mode is a bonus, especially as a travel camera, literally turning any FF lens into a crop. Crop more also feature decently fast rolling shutter performance. Both, ff and s35 modes have over sampled footage. And, for those photo moments, having a mechanical shutter is most welcome.
Late to the party but I stumbled upon your video as I was doing research into the a7cii bcoz I’m thinking about purchasing. I found your video very informative. Flats are better than drums.
Flats are better the drumbs... (coming back to add to this once I finish the video) Great video thank you for your opions and test as always. I clocked you teeth looked different but couldn't understand why... They looked great either way, as long as your happy. I hope your happy in life 😊

flats are better than drums . i like that sony is giving options. i feel like this camera is slighty better than the a7iv but the a7iv has the big hdmi. canon is the only other brand offering full frame 4k60 around this price point. Panasonic s5 ii 4k60 is cropped. I think this camera is better than zve1 for photo, but zve1 is better for video. both fire though.

As a travelling camera for both photo and video, the A7cii just had a better balance of both worlds Vs the ZV-E1 imo. Can’t speak for everyone, but personally, using any camera in the ZV line for photography was very frustrating at times.
Ahh, just went through this same conundrum. I currently have an a7iii that I love for photos in studio or in a pro environment. But I find the body too cumbersome and indiscreet for travel/daily. I tested the original A7c for daily/travel and I actually used it. A lot! So I like the body of the original A7c but I want the updated features of the a7iv. And since this will be more of an on-the-go camera, I’d also find value in the additional 1.5 stop of IBIS, reduced weight, imported LUTs for my videos, in camera time-lapse, and auto-framing - most features I’d only use outside of a studio setting. In studio or events, where I shoot photos, I’d honestly still use my a7iii. Photo tech isn’t so leaps and bounds advanced that I need more than my a7iii for photos. If I did more pro-video however, then I wouldn’t even look at the a7iv. It’d be FX3 and up at that point.
I have the A7C and really really like it. Not sure if I have a need to upgrade at this time. I am interested in what profile you used, really loving the colors?
Just bought my a7cii... as a b cam to my ZV-e1 and a replacement for my a7iii as a photo camera. These new Sony cameras are amazing Flats are better than drums (idk if i agree but im a good listener)
FLATS ARE BETTER THAN DRUMS. And keep up the good work Broski. Always enjoy your content. Track selection is always on point. Much love from South Africa.

the s5ii does not shoot 4k60 full frame. also people buy this over the zve1 because its a better hybrid camera, 33mp over 12mp for stills. dont know why that needs to be said.
Flats are better than drums 😅 YCImaging man, you've been one of the first youtubers that inspire me day in and day out, I can't even remember when was the fist time I've watch your videos.

Flats are better than drums. Also I think the EV-1 with its 12mp sensor is more video focused and the A7Cii with the 33mp sensor is a hybrid for photo / video. If largely or entirely a video shooter then EV-1 is the choice at $2,198. But if you want photo plus video (although not as video feature rich as EV-1), then choose the A7Cii. Two cameras, same price points, but different use cases. I’m ok with that. Since I want one camera to cover my photo and video use the A7Cii is the better choice for me vs the EV-1.
Man your part of the reason why I keep going and your education in the photo/video game has been inspiring. Keep going! I use a Canon 90d & Black Magic 6k Pro. I’ve thought about upgrading but with the knowledge you’ve dropped I’ve been able to stay relevant without upgrading. Flats ARE better than drums. Honey lemon pepper wet
Sometime I'm thinking about downsizing my gear, for social media content, cause rn I'm using a BMPCC6k everyday, but I was looking for a smaller size kit that I can use everywhere.
Hi, canon R8 does have 4K 60 but, yes, with overheating. But what I have seen so far about the EV1 it even is overheating in 4K 24, which might make the A7C II a good alternative. Good video and interesting thoughts on this one, look forward to your final verdict. Will get the R8 as a B-cam vor vid and foto but that Sony does somehow look also interesting 😊 And flats for sure are better than drums!

does ISO12800 works same way in night or low light condition? I meant, in day light , may be noises are killed but i ridiculously guessing that at nights at that ISO , noises just stays..
This was a dope and very informative video. I was def looking to purchase a new camera and your vid helped me with my decision. FLATS ARE BETTER THAN DRUMS!
I'm also intrigued by the Zv-E1 over the A7cii at this price point. I suppose it truly depends on one's shooting priorities. Thanks for this video. FLATS ARE BETTER THAN DRUMS.
@8:00 Yup. Sony Launched too many cameras with the same sensor and same feature. Specially in the apsc line up. example: a6400, ze10, a6100 In regards of the a7IV vs zve1/fx3. Con: The rolling shutter on the a7IV pro: Image sharpness. That 7k downsampled to 4k is 🤌🤌🤌🤌.
Canon R6. It’s such an illogical beast. So much stuff to keep in your head while filming. Amazing stills. But so often I had to salvage footage. The menu system was fine for stills but just does not cut it for all the roles it has to play. I felt like it was a love affair with a person with multiple personality disorder. I sold mine.
Flats are better than drums * I agree too I had the Sony ZV E1, but a recent family trip made me realize a compact hybrid camera was better suited for me. Although the ZV E1 took great pictures, the extra megapixels in something like the a7c II would help since I crop in a lot of times. The front dial and the mode dial on the a7c II are more familiar for me to operate compared to the switch on the ZVE1. And the compact body of the a7c II would be convenient compared to the a7iv while traveling. For those reasons I would choose the Sony a7c II over the ZV E1.
i use glasses to read fine print. can you use a7cii s viewfinder to change settings abd to access menu easily so that i don’t have to wear glasses ? or i will still be interst with the lcd? if so i will go fkr zve1. Also how good is the 7stop ibis for video ?
@@imranalijafar if your main use is for video, use the ZV E1. I take photos and videos, so the a7c II fits my use case better. I’ve rarely used the evf to change settings, but either way once I have custom settings saved and use the mode dial to switch between settings.

Good video man as always, 4k 60 cropped is always frustrating but i see they want to match it to the a74 as people will say why a74 cropped but a7c not , either way no crop is the way to the future
Your talking head footage in the second half of the video looked really great to me! The in-car wobbles had me thinking this camera was going to end up being a dud, but that later image quality really is damn nice... Flats are better than drums! :)
For what i do, and how I do it, the A7C has been fantastic to me. I use a ZV-1 for B roll and run and gun, and a hero 10 for commentary while im skating. I use a DJI osmo pocket 2 for overhead shots and it works fantastic with auto panning and following. No one camera or system does everything i need, but ive been super happy with the A7C and will be adding the a7c2 for small studio use and the a7c will become my b roll/side or alternate angle for diy stuff. The osmo is pretty much reserved for overhead shots and also closely color matches the rest of the cameras pretty closely if setup right. Im moving towards an all fz100 battery system, and may end up picking up a ZV-E1 later on fpr run and gun. Its worth it to me to have all USB C cables for simplicity, SD cards for simplicity and ive been able to match the color profiles spot on between the go pro, zv1 and a7c so less color grading in post makes faster content creation flow for me. 🤙

The A7C was originally a stills camera. That’s why someone would buy it over the ZV. They prioritize the stills and evf experience.
Hybrid. It was made after the A7iii. Just like the A7cii is made after the A74.
This exactly. I need that evf. And don't like SLR style bodies. That's why this is the cam for me.
I dont get why people even compare them, completily different cameras. ZV is a vlog-based videocentric camera that has 12 mp and no EVF, while A7C is a compact 33mp (dope stills, good video) hybrid. They dont even slighty compare and are aimed at 2 different markets.
yup exactly, and still can provide amazing video when needed
exactly, hybrid camera
I can already see the crispiness of the A7Cii image(11:45) over your Canon Camera intro image(1:01).
Photos, if you plan to use the camera as a hybrid camera you’ll get better photos with the a7cii over the zve1. The ability to shot 4K with crop sensor lenses/mode, Plus a slightly better form factor use the a7cii.
На zv нет возможности использовать вспышку, только на штативе, никакой речи о фотографии на неё не идёт
Wow literally just came home with mine. And look my favorite videographer drops a video saying your coming to Sony. I can’t wait to see what you do with this. Keep doing your thing bro!
Appreciate it!
You totally missed that the ZV E1 is more likely to overheat for longer form video content like podcasts, interviews or livestreams so it’s better for short run and gun clips especially with lots of movement
I think the a7 series is targeted towards hybrid shooters with a photo bias and the Zv and fx series is targeted towards video and film makers
This makes sense!
Wouldn’t you be better of buying a Zv-1 or fx30 for your work?
Or even the fx3, fx6, if it’s in your budget?
Facts
Get yourself the Phantom Luts and shoot slog3. Protect your highlights and if it looks good, it is good. Yes there are a lot of picture profiles but most only use slog3. It’s much easier than it used to be. Can’t wait to see what you make!

I’m not a pro but I’ve been shooting on Canon longer than my adult children have been alive (since 2004). I dabbled with Sony with the A6600, then got the A7C (original). Now, I have the A7RV. I suppose I’m all in at this point. I still have my Canon 6D which I might keep for astro and give my other Canon gear to my kids.
The A7C II is a hybrid travel camera. It’s neither a photo nor video centric camera - it does both decently well. It’s not a full body with all the custom buttons and dials. It’s a travel camera that happens to be full frame. It’s a darn awesome one too.
I agree it doesn’t make sense w a7iv and zv e1 and a7r4. If you need a hybrid go w a7iv. If video centric zv e1. If photo centric go with a7riv. I see really no benefits w a7cii except for slightly lower price (just get a7iv used).
I'm new to content creation and watching your videos has helped me decide on some equipment choices. Thank you. FLATS ARE BETTER THAN DRUMS
The only reason I would like an A7CII, being a ZVE1 owner, is for photography. ZVE1 has issues with banding because of no mechanical shutter. 12 megapixels is sometimes limiting when cropping photos. I like the A7IV, but want a smaller body.
Why a7c ii over the zv-1? No anxiety regarding over heating with regard to long form content. Super-35 mode is a bonus, especially as a travel camera, literally turning any FF lens into a crop. Crop more also feature decently fast rolling shutter performance. Both, ff and s35 modes have over sampled footage. And, for those photo moments, having a mechanical shutter is most welcome.
Late to the party but I stumbled upon your video as I was doing research into the a7cii bcoz I’m thinking about purchasing. I found your video very informative.

Flats are better the drumbs... (coming back to add to this once I finish the video) Great video thank you for your opions and test as always. I clocked you teeth looked different but couldn't understand why... They looked great either way, as long as your happy. I hope your happy in life 😊

flats are better than drums . i like that sony is giving options. i feel like this camera is slighty better than the a7iv but the a7iv has the big hdmi. canon is the only other brand offering full frame 4k60 around this price point. Panasonic s5 ii 4k60 is cropped. I think this camera is better than zve1 for photo, but zve1 is better for video. both fire though.
Canon is THE only brand offering full frame 4k60 on the R8 and R6 II at that price point. That's why I refused to get the A7IV because of it's crop

@@YCImaging that's love, thank you
@@77dris yeah but the sony zve1 is $2k with full frame 4k 60. even 4k 120 soon.
As a travelling camera for both photo and video, the A7cii just had a better balance of both worlds Vs the ZV-E1 imo.
Can’t speak for everyone, but personally, using any camera in the ZV line for photography was very frustrating at times.
Why not use a7iv instead? Same megapixels. 4k 60. 10 bit.
Ahh, just went through this same conundrum.
I currently have an a7iii that I love for photos in studio or in a pro environment. But I find the body too cumbersome and indiscreet for travel/daily.
I tested the original A7c for daily/travel and I actually used it. A lot! So I like the body of the original A7c but I want the updated features of the a7iv.
And since this will be more of an on-the-go camera, I’d also find value in the additional 1.5 stop of IBIS, reduced weight, imported LUTs for my videos, in camera time-lapse, and auto-framing - most features I’d only use outside of a studio setting.
In studio or events, where I shoot photos, I’d honestly still use my a7iii. Photo tech isn’t so leaps and bounds advanced that I need more than my a7iii for photos.
If I did more pro-video however, then I wouldn’t even look at the a7iv. It’d be FX3 and up at that point.
Much love from Nigeria bro.....FLATS ARE BETTER THAN DRUMS
Also is that the Mac Studio you’re running? 👀
Flats are better than drums. Great video YC. Always a joy listening to you talk.
love the videos over the years man! FLATS ARE BETTER THAN DRUMS
I have the A7C and really really like it. Not sure if I have a need to upgrade at this time. I am interested in what profile you used, really loving the colors?
What is the best camera for walking around during conferences and getting cool shots of speaker.
Just bought my a7cii... as a b cam to my ZV-e1 and a replacement for my a7iii as a photo camera. These new Sony cameras are amazing
Flats are better than drums (idk if i agree but im a good listener)
Brother, your end video talking head looks way better than the beginning of the video!
FLATS ARE BETTER THAN DRUMS.
And keep up the good work Broski. Always enjoy your content. Track selection is always on point.
Much love from South Africa.

Flats are better than drums. Does that still works?
the s5ii does not shoot 4k60 full frame. also people buy this over the zve1 because its a better hybrid camera, 33mp over 12mp for stills. dont know why that needs to be said.
No oversampling in zv e1 vs 7k on a7c ii makes a biggg difference imo. I also like the color science a bit better even though they're pretty similar
Flats are better than drums 😅 YCImaging man, you've been one of the first youtubers that inspire me day in and day out, I can't even remember when was the fist time I've watch your videos. I still remember buying one of your transitions packs for Premiere. Just wanna say thank u for all these years creating for youtube. If u ever feel to come down to Brazil, and need a tour guide/cinematographer let me know man, much love!

Bro I would have loved to meet you at Sony Kando, come through next year!
Thank you!!! FLATS ARE BETTER THAN DRUMS
Flats are better than drums. Also I think the EV-1 with its 12mp sensor is more video focused and the A7Cii with the 33mp sensor is a hybrid for photo / video. If largely or entirely a video shooter then EV-1 is the choice at $2,198. But if you want photo plus video (although not as video feature rich as EV-1), then choose the A7Cii. Two cameras, same price points, but different use cases. I’m ok with that. Since I want one camera to cover my photo and video use the A7Cii is the better choice for me vs the EV-1.
Man your part of the reason why I keep going and your education in the photo/video game has been inspiring. Keep going! I use a Canon 90d & Black Magic 6k Pro. I’ve thought about upgrading but with the knowledge you’ve dropped I’ve been able to stay relevant without upgrading.
Flats ARE better than drums.
Honey lemon pepper wet
Sometime I'm thinking about downsizing my gear, for social media content, cause rn I'm using a BMPCC6k everyday, but I was looking for a smaller size kit that I can use everywhere.
EVF, EVF,EVF 😂 Photographers approve. 33mp are great on the photo side. Cheers man.
flats are better than drums
have you tested out the Lumix S5 mkii?
Because of the view finder and the 33mp sensor on the A7cii...thats why you'd choose it over the ZV-E1...A7cii is more hybrid driven
Hi, canon R8 does have 4K 60 but, yes, with overheating. But what I have seen so far about the EV1 it even is overheating in 4K 24, which might make the A7C II a good alternative.
Good video and interesting thoughts on this one, look forward to your final verdict. Will get the R8 as a B-cam vor vid and foto but that Sony does somehow look also interesting 😊
And flats for sure are better than drums!

I also didn’t think about the R8, thanks for reminding me!
@@YCImagingthanks for the link 🙏🏻 just correct my first comment, the R8 overheats in 4K 60.
keep up the good work and enjoy the weekend 👍🏻
I think you got your answer. I rarely do video but want a small camera. Can’t do 12 mp on the zve1
Yeah man I use the A7iii and its been an amazing companion
A great camera
What's up YC I send your videos over to my friend Marcel all the time, the most recent being the Music videos don't make $$ video, which he was actually going through, thanks for the consistent content!

I think the footage is pretty good, definitely wondering about the deep shadows but seems cool. Thanks for the video.
great video helped me made some decisions on some equipment I appreciate this thanks FLATS ARE BETTER THAN DRUMS
I went from Canon T4i to NEX7, then way back your a6300 content put me on and I’ve been team Sony ever since.
flats are better than drums. you a real one in the video space ty for many years of great content fam
does ISO12800 works same way in night or low light condition? I meant, in day light , may be noises are killed but i ridiculously guessing that at nights at that ISO , noises just stays..
Canon R6mk2 gives you full frame 4k60. In that price range.. never got mine to overheat but I never record more than 20mins
Make the switch to Sony. Save money and weight and size.
Great video as always. FLATS ARE BETTER THAN DRUMS
Flats are better than drums. Love your content! I look to you for inspiration, bro. Much love
the Lumix S5 mk II doesnt have full-frame 60fps btw
reasons to get a7cII over ZV-E1:
second dual base iso is 3200 - more usable IMHO
MUCH sharper 4K
no overheating
YCImaging ZV1 can't do 15/1 shutter if you use for photgraphy it does not have Bulb it start at 30/1 it is more for videographers
This was a dope and very informative video. I was def looking to purchase a new camera and your vid helped me with my decision. FLATS ARE BETTER THAN DRUMS!
Why not ZV-E1? Because 33 vs 12.1 megapixels. Which matters if you're not a video only shooter.
flats are better that drums (i don't agree lol) but thanks for this video. Looking to purchase a camera for photo/video hybrid use.
omg i had invisalign & i always go through this when i see old pics & vids lmaoo ... looking good!
Interesting. I like Sony but I'll never abandon my Canon for photography and Panasonic for video. I love my Canon 1dx mark III and Panasonic GH5.
I'm also intrigued by the Zv-E1 over the A7cii at this price point. I suppose it truly depends on one's shooting priorities. Thanks for this video. FLATS ARE BETTER THAN DRUMS.
The images are very nice. I like what it produces. I’m making a switch to Sony too.
Flats are better than drums.
@8:00 Yup. Sony Launched too many cameras with the same sensor and same feature.
Specially in the apsc line up.
example: a6400, ze10, a6100
In regards of the a7IV vs zve1/fx3.
Con: The rolling shutter on the a7IV
pro: Image sharpness. That 7k downsampled to 4k is 🤌🤌🤌🤌.
theres no auto framing in A74?
Canon R6. It’s such an illogical beast. So much stuff to keep in your head while filming. Amazing stills. But so often I had to salvage footage. The menu system was fine for stills but just does not cut it for all the roles it has to play. I felt like it was a love affair with a person with multiple personality disorder. I sold mine.
Flats are better than drums * I agree too
I had the Sony ZV E1, but a recent family trip made me realize a compact hybrid camera was better suited for me. Although the ZV E1 took great pictures, the extra megapixels in something like the a7c II would help since I crop in a lot of times. The front dial and the mode dial on the a7c II are more familiar for me to operate compared to the switch on the ZVE1. And the compact body of the a7c II would be convenient compared to the a7iv while traveling. For those reasons I would choose the Sony a7c II over the ZV E1.
i use glasses to read fine print. can you use a7cii s viewfinder to change settings abd to access menu easily so that i don’t have to wear glasses ? or i will still be interst with the lcd? if so i will go fkr zve1. Also how good is the 7stop ibis for video ?
@@imranalijafar if your main use is for video, use the ZV E1. I take photos and videos, so the a7c II fits my use case better. I’ve rarely used the evf to change settings, but either way once I have custom settings saved and use the mode dial to switch between settings.

Just wait until he hears about the fx3 🤣. Great video man!
You might like the FX3 better.. imho.
Good video man as always, 4k 60 cropped is always frustrating but i see they want to match it to the a74 as people will say why a74 cropped but a7c not , either way no crop is the way to the future
Great reviews! About 6 years ago your videos triggered me and helped to assist my way forward.
Flats are better than drums
For fotos. A7c II is a better hybrid?
I’m thinking that’s the case from a few of the comments, I didn’t think about that.
Dope video as always and good to catch up your content again.
Flats are better that drums.
Your talking head footage in the second half of the video looked really great to me! The in-car wobbles had me thinking this camera was going to end up being a dud, but that later image quality really is damn nice... Flats are better than drums! :)
What car mount are you using?
For what i do, and how I do it, the A7C has been fantastic to me. I use a ZV-1 for B roll and run and gun, and a hero 10 for commentary while im skating.
I use a DJI osmo pocket 2 for overhead shots and it works fantastic with auto panning and following.
No one camera or system does everything i need, but ive been super happy with the A7C and will be adding the a7c2 for small studio use and the a7c will become my b roll/side or alternate angle for diy stuff.
The osmo is pretty much reserved for overhead shots and also closely color matches the rest of the cameras pretty closely if setup right.
Im moving towards an all fz100 battery system, and may end up picking up a ZV-E1 later on fpr run and gun.
Its worth it to me to have all USB C cables for simplicity, SD cards for simplicity and ive been able to match the color profiles spot on between the go pro, zv1 and a7c so less color grading in post makes faster content creation flow for me. 🤙
