    I don't understand though: you say you haven't had the time to check more features and settings, but why not do that *before* making the video? It's a 2014 camera in 2022, there's no rush to get the video out, so then do it well.

    Just traded in my Sony A6000 for the A7II. I wanted to get away from crop sensor and step into full frame, as well as get a head start into those fancy full frame lenses ;)

      @actionphotopassion5082 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The question would be: Why did you stay with Sony for Full Frame on a camera body with such of a bad AF. Now if you're into landscape photography like myself it's a no brainer otherwise a body from Canon or Nikon would have been a better option to rebuild a system from scratch.

    • @Jmiche23

      @@actionphotopassion5082 For some reason I could never get on board with Canon. I did briefly consider Nikon, but I stuck with Sony because I’m familiar with their menu system and I really like how they share their software with other companies so there’s more third party lens compatibility. Eventually I’d like to get the new A7iv, but I couldn’t justify spending $2500 on a camera body right now. For budget reasons I chose the A7ii 🙂

    I’ve had this camera for a couple years now, and the picture quality is awesome. I use it mainly for photos, and some video work. I’d recommend picking up the 50mm f1.8 lens. It’s really cheap and the quality of it blows the kit lens out of the water! However, the auto focus sucks for video..

    I rented A7R mark 2 and tested A7 mark 2 and mark 3. As a Sony A-mount user, I finally decided to buy A7 mark I.
    I thought I found a great deal at around 300 euros for a body of less than 20k actuation shots. The truth is coming from a prograde body A99 mark II, all those A7 are way too much overrated and their prices is not at all in the right ballpark. Realistically, A7 mark I should be bought second hand for anything around 200 euros and A7 mark II for top 500 euros.
    The bodies are so much toyish and not on par with their DSLR siblings that I still don't understand all the hype around those Sony A7 body lines.
    So A7 mark II why not as long as you know the huge limitations of batteries and AF, and pay the right price (certainly not more than 500 euros). As a landscape tog I couldn't care less to have an A7 as a backup Full Frame camera for my real workhorse DSLR.

Love the Evf on them as what you see is what you get ,no second guessing at what the picture will look like. I don't find them toyish in the lest. Where they come into their own is when you throw some good manual glass on them, really fun in my opinion.

    Great video my friend. Hope who read this can help me with which cam to choose. I've been taking photos for like 15 years (owned plenty of cameras such as: Nikon F35, Nikon d5000, Fujifilm X100, Nikon D90, Canon SL3, Canon 6D), but been out of business for like 5 years (lol), now I have the chance to get a new camera, with my budget I can get the CANON RP (+ kit lense), or the SONY A7 II (kit lense + 50 mm 1.8), both brand new, but I have never EVER used a Sony system before. I did read some reviews comparing both cameras, but I don't see too many differences between then. If you have to choose, which one would you buy it? Canon RP or A7 II? I don't care about video, I am into fashion shot, streetphotography. Thanks!

      R7 is a great one for photos not sure about video as I don’t do video much unless I get paid for it so try out yourself in the store if you like it and RP is a good starter but if your budget allows for it otherwise it’s not worth it to just buy a body and have a shit lens . Get R7 and a lenses to go along with it .
