    I still use the A7ii, I don’t shoot weekly like I did some years ago but a photography canceled on a friends daughter senior prom shoot 1 day before the shoot. I couldn’t tell them I don’t shoot anymore. Felt good to dust off the A7ii , and Godox 600.

    @@dickymiller7196secret is most people “making a living” are actually RENTING that gear and 99% of the time it’s to impress the person paying them who thinks they know what they’re talking about tech wise 🤦‍♂️. Sometimes the commerce aspect of things can literally suck all of the fun and joy out of life and hobbies that are supposed to be enjoyable. I spent about $800 on my 7ii and had to work and deal with family stuff for like 2.5 years, when I finally took the camera out and set it up I started having heaps of fun and the only thing I can complain about is that it doesn’t shoot 4K video but in all actuality if you ARE shooting video and it’s for web all You need to do is light it properly these cameras look great. 4K 6k and 8k are kinda overkill if you’re uploading to KZread they are filmmaker resolutions that literally only make smaller level workflows unnecessarily complex. For $750 these cameras are a steal if you can get one with a lens just find a cinematographer or videographer who upgraded you can find these everywhere.

    I’m still rocking the a7ii shooting concerts, events and some portraitures. Just get some good glasses and also learn your camera capabilities and its behavior on different shooting situations. One thing to point out is that you can’t trust the auto white balance on this camera. I always carry a grey card with me whenever I go out. Set custom white balance and it makes processing your images much faster and reliable.

I like the a7ii and found one with an FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS lens kit for $1034 new online. I thought by getting the more affordable camera to start, I could get decent lenses and upgrade the body in a couple years. Does that sound like a good fit? I shoot mostly landscapes/nature/travel stuff, no interest in portraits or video. Thanks

    Still a dope camera, 24mp fullframe. If you need a photography camera look no further than this because for about 1000$ brand new is sick value. The thing where it doesnt bring much to the table is unfortunately its video because it can only do 1080p. Now while I believe the video will still look good, I woudnt count on it. That being said if u need a good hybrid and plan on mostly doing video dont get this camera... If you need a second body or something for photograpy (especially if u wanna get into wedding photo or something like that) this is going to serve well.

    Great bit. The content is so suited for agreement, you do grwat job. But after I was in the local shop to test all brands, I could not force myself to get sony. Compared to Canon, Nikon and Fuji, this reptilian stuff is just no-go. Display output and viewfinder, controls and buttons, just NO. Unusable compared to competition. I cannot recommend unless one handles the iron and is happy with the experience. It's so unexpectedly individual. After 20 years of thinking I could not care less about ergonomics, Sony made me...

    I just upgraded from the a7ii to the a7iv and gave the ii to my gf so she can start learning photography :) I think it’s a great camera when combined with manual or vintage glass. But the AF, battery life, and menu system are big drawbacks for me. If I were to go back I would buy a used a7iii instead of a new a7ii though. Wayyyy better value proposition for the a7iii imo. I do love how compact and very well built the a7ii is though.

    Now im not throwing it under the bus , but . 1. The A7ii i herits a7i's bad iso performance as well as the green tinge issue - newer apsc camers beat it or match it in terms of iso performance actually 2. The ibis is really about 1-2 stop or 3 if youre lucky - at that price point you got the xs10 and a whole host of lumix cameras 3. It offers a terrible video option - worse than even the a6000 , thats kinda sad 4. Its also using a 117 point af hybrid like the older alphas , which is ironically worse than their apsc lineup At this point the only reason to pick up the a7ii is either you need fullframe or you want fullframe Xs10 beats it in every term other than sensor size The a6400 beats it aswell but only lacking ibis The eos rp for not a whole lot more offers a better take on the budget ff A whole host of ef cameras and lenses also await you in the budget lineup , altho dead - ef is still an overabundance of lenses

    No one should ever pay more than 500 bucks for an A7II. 800 to 1300? Forget it you can get an A7III for that much. E mount is good, but at this point get an A6400. The images hold up until about 800 ISO, after that even a 2016 APS-C is better Also the IBIS is here for the spec sheet it's the least effective IBIS I've ever seen. Battery last 5 minutes and it absolutely sucks for video, autofocus and burst rates. If you were looking at an A7II for 800ish, save 200 more and get an A7III used. Not even the same class of cameras
