  • Putting the brand new Sony A7C II against the older Sony A7 IV. Both have the exact same 33MP BSI CMOS sensor that has super impressive image quality.
    The biggest differences is the ergonomics and will the A7CII be a better camera for you than the A7IV?

      Tbh, I haven't had a Sony camera overheat on me for years. The last camera that overheated on me was the Canon R5C. When that happened, I was already resigned to how Canon was, I just sighed and took out the a7iv that I brought just in case. (I was shooting in a lot of super hot kitchens at that point of time.)

    How the 4k 60p in crop factor mode on the a7cII compare to 4k 60p on a FX30/a6700 when regarding low light? are they virtually the same or a FF sensor is still better even in crop mode?

    A7 IV is still great camera. But if I were buying today, would have gotten the CII because, 7 stops of IBIS and the New AutoFocus are reasonable upgrades. I’m not a professional photographer, so second SD card slot or full size HDMI are not really a necessity for me

      It's actually annoying they don't just make an a7iv ii. So you get the more pro body and new features. Very weird to have all these better features in slightly worse cameras. The a6700 is better than the A7iv and FX30 in features but is worse in pro must haves. It's soooooo irritating to keep splitting the offerings so much. Just put an ai chip in a new A7iv, a7siii, etc instead of making the budget cameras better but also not suitable for pro use. Very odd. As you say, you're not a professional but things like a micro hdmi.... Let's just say I'm never going back to micro hdmi 😅

    As an A7IV owner, I think Sony did a great job with the A7C II. I personally like the bigger grip & customizable buttons + Joystick and higher resolution screen + EVF more on the A7IV more but I honestly thought the 7 stops of IBIS would make a bigger difference than shown here.
    I think other manufacturers do a better job of in-camers video stabalization though.
    Either way, Sony has a camera for everyone in the market tbh.
    Good video. Appreciate the effort 👍🏼

      Those are different cameras to compare, the zv-e1 is a baby fx-3 without the fan to cool it, it has better low light performance with the second base iso at 12800 whereas the a7cii is 2500 or 6400 i believe.

    • @patrickmoney1894
      @patrickmoney1894 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I ordered the zv e1 for a good price, but I haven't opened it yet in anticipation for the a7cii. Because of the rolling shutter in full frame 4k 24/30p, I see the a7c ii as a apsc video camera. If you're OK with that, than that's fine, but it looks like you are getting much more out of the zv e1 for video. Also, the zv e1 has dynamic stabilization which I see as a big plus as that can take the place of a gymbol in certain circumstances. The thing about the zv e1 is the overheating, as the a7c ii seems to have good thermal performance. If you think the overheatibg of the zv e1 might be an issue you can rent it and test it out. There are ways to mitigate the overheating, like keeping the flippy screen out, opening the ports and battery door, and getting one of those fans that fit into where the flippy screen goes.

    I think as a hobbyist, the evf isn’t bad since I like taking the time to edit. As a professional I can see where it is time saving when figuring out the shot in general leading to editing and time crunch.

  • @explodingheavens
    @explodingheavens 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    Main difference is stabilization and buffer, A7cII got 7stop IS, which is a win for handheld low light photography.
    A7IV got unlimited burst shooting on the other hand.
    I don't shoot a lot of bursts but I shoot a bit handheld in bad light.
    A7IV is overall better value, so it's very hard to decide.
    Ps: update is also coming to A7IV.

      @@geerthasevoets48 Sony is updating older cameras with Some new features, which ones and which cameras will depends, but A7IV is getting some for sure.
      I got A7IV now, I envy a bit 7stop ibis, mine can do like 1/3 sec on 35mm "against a wall", but besides being more future proof with unlimited buffer, it was cheaper 300euro.
      I would say it being cheaper did help me decide, I bought it at about 2100 with 300 for memory card.
      It is surely bigger, but I got big lens so I got used to it. If you want to use small lens and won't need to shoot a lot in burst mode, c line should be better.

    I am thinking of adding this A7Cii to the A74, so have two good hybrid cameras. The A7Cii can be a lightweight travel options. If I need two card slots and a better EVF, then I have that option as well. I want to end up with 2 cameras. I had the A74 from its release and then sold it when the A6700 came out and was thinking about two of those for the small, lightweight, travel friendly, cameras (cheaper, lighter lenses). However, I sent them back and just bouight the Sony A74 again (gets delivered tomorrow), knowing that the A7Cii was released, so thought that may be my options. I don't know that I need the A7CR 61 MPs). Although, I could get a A6700, and the A7CR (which can do the 26mp crop mode)? - I love choices - so I just have to decide. I am in good shape once I decide is that I only have one lens: Sony 24mm f1.4 GM which I am keeping either way!

It would be nice to get a detailed view of the ports. Thanks.

    I love the A7C series! I had the OG A7C before I upgraded to the A7IV. However I think for the money. Most people are better off buying a used A7IV for the same price as the A7CII. Now I think the A7CR is definitely worth the money considering it has the same specs as the A7RV with a huge price cut. But I’m patiently waiting for the A7V which will probably drop next year. I’m hoping and praying Sony takes inspiration from the LUMIX S5II and puts in an internal fan inside the A7V to fix the overheating issue. Time will tell.

    If you can put up with a viewfinder from a film camera, looking through a prism, then the EVF is more than fine. It should not be a determining factor. The new tech is what makes the CII the better choice. But if you like the FF body with a hump in the middle, the A7R5 may be the way to go. The A74 just fell back a generation in processors and the AI chip. I compared the Sony a6700 vs, the A74 trying to capture stills of bees in my shrub and the a6700 with it's new tech blew the A74 away. I got far more hits with bees in blossoms and in flight than the A74. It wasn't close. For most everything else, it may not be a thing, but then, the new focus system is superior.
