True. But americans are lucky... you can buy a camera body of 7II for $800, $600 used... in europe the price is still €1700... on adorama you get the 7RII complet kit wit bag and other goodies for $1200

@@thishdude There are limits. In-body image stabilization is incredibly useful, especially if you like to shoot video. I don't have much interest in the original a7, but the a7 II is a lot more compelling to me. Its autofocus is not spectacular, but it's considerably improved over the original. And the a7 III is even more compelling to me because it can shoot in 4K and shoot photos at 10 fps. So, there are tradeoffs. I mean, I could go out and buy an original Canon 5D for a very low price, but it doesn't shoot video at all. So, is that really a great deal? It is if you don't care about video, perhaps. But if you do care about video, even a little, then you need something newer.

i have an A72 and i hate when KZreadrs try to downplay this camera because the a73 is out. I like what you said here. The A72 is STILL a GOod Camera.

Good photographers create quality pictures with every camera. The best camera is the camera you know in and out and which you can use with a reflex action so long you do not shoot only landscape or architecture.

really, all cameras these days are good. At least for photography, video is probably a different story. I don't shoot videos so I don't really keep up with video specs. I'm just happy I was able to pick up a fuji xt3.

Love the fact that you showed that example print. Definitely gives perspective

I just bought a used A7ii the other day (shutter count under 2000) with a 50mm 1.8, battery grip, 64gb sd card, and an extra battery for just $750 all together. Deals are out there if you're willing to search for a few days or weeks before buying one. Going to Sony full frame mirrorless from Canon crop sensor beginner camera (Canon T6) is a massive jump in quality (both in build quality and photo quality). I'm still getting used to the Sony menus and certain operations of the camera but I am not disappointed with it at all. Sony also has absolutely killer tones.

Absolutely one of the best reviews on the Tube. Thanks bud, really appreciate it.

With everything that's happening right now it's slowed my roll on what I'm doing with going for an upgrade. You totally just sold me on grabbing this as an awesome upgrade into the full frame world. I'm looking forward grabbing one.

that SHOO at 5:36 is so accurate when it comes to lens prices

Thx so much for this video. I bought a A72 today (with Kit only 900 EUR NEW!) and due my research here I just found people saying good things about this camera. I´m exited couse its my final switch from APS-C to FullFrame and there is nothing to compare in this price range. Yeah 4k would be great, but I´m going for photography so thank you again, I have the feeling this was a right choose. Best

I appreciate you making this video. I'm trying to upgrade from a 5D Mk II and I already have an a6500 with an mc-11. The a6500 is great but I wish it were full frame at times. I was stuck between this, the RP, and a7r II. You hit the nail on the head with getting a good body and saving the rest for glass, and the a7II is still a great bargain.

Your explanation was thorough giving the pros and cons of A7 ii. I mainly use for photos and will still be using my A7 ii in 2021.

Thank you for an informative video. I’m shooting an A7 stepping up from a A6000 always looking for something better. What I see on the market are mostly features. So I say to myself as a non-professional “Start out with the end in mind” in my case my style is travel/street, shoot RAW, enhance in Lightroom and post on photo sharing sites. I only use video occasionally. The A7 kit lens matched with an F2-28mm prime seems to be all I need. In the interest of improvement I purchased my first “G” lens 28mm-105mm for more reach and quality glass. Nothing wrong the lens except it seems the AF slower. (Probably designed for the faster processor’s in the A series)The lens cost more the the body. Where I went wrong is it’s to heavy to carry around all day for a person in the last Q of life. The combination of the A7 and the F2-28mm and the kit is perfect for 75% of what I shoot. It also seems like the lens on the A7 are matched very well being pre “G” lens generation. So in “stay at conclusion” all these features in the newer versions of the A7 series seem to be for someone else. Lesson learned match features to your style of photography. ‘content and composition is still King/Queen. I think “although you were talking to professionals” that still remains true. Thanks for the video regards from Northern California Richard.

Bought today can’t wait for it

I'm a beginner photographer who started photography about 7 months ago and my first camera is the sony a7ii and I absolutely love it 💯

subbed. thanks man. also, your video style, like, talking to camera and going with it, is really good, for me. You're right what you said about just having a convo with a photographer. I feel this is much better than just reading off google. Hopefully when I actually start my youtube channel properly, it will be more like yours! thanks

This is the review I needed! I have a canon 80d but it’s unusable for my Urbex videos, picked up an a7ii used for a good deal for my explorations was having some second thoughts but after seeing this I think I made the right choice! Subbed to your channel to! Good stuff!

I just traded my Panasonic g9 to get a full-frame camera, and I love this Sony in a couple of years I plan to upgrade to the a7iii. You are so right the a7ii is still the best and to me, it is a professional grade camera even in 2020.

Amazing review. Thank you.

Nice video 👌 My budget is the important factor so I'm gonna get the A7ii. Nice print👍

I bought my first camera a few weeks back. A Best Buy employee and a photographer in the store shopping talked me into buying the A7ii. I’m still trying to learn the camera and get out and get some practice in. Glad I bought it because I’m hearing great reviews. If you might have any tips, feel free to drop them under my comment.

Thanks. I bought it in 2018 or 19 and still have it in 2022. Good words about taking care of composition, etc. I am a street photographer and I know that for me this camera is too slow when it comes to the first shot. By the time it's awake from sleep or turned on I might've missed the shot. And the weak battery makes it not practical to have it always on. However it makes me looking for good moment before they happen, it challenges me and as a result I get a better eye and better photos. What I learned from my over-the-decade experience of street photography, is that first goes your skill, then the camera lens, then the camera body. Pros still can shoot in M mode and can even easily go along with the manual focus.

I enjoyed this video. Felt like I was actually having a conversation without all the filler stuff.

I definitely understand the difference between a7 series because of this video. I can say this is a great helpful video for my consideration. Thank you

Bought this cam a month ago with the Sigma 35mm 1,4f DG | Art & I just love this combo. Yes, you can‘t shoot in 4K but my old Macbook struggles sometimes with the highest quality. So I need to go to the iMac to get my things done but in general I like to be mobile. & 4K is still no standard. So for me 24MP with this lense is enough to crop enough & to have a good dynamic range. To a good budget.

If you also update to version 4.1 helps with the focus and reportedly improves the ibis still love mine

Thanks for details. As you said, many people read from the google. Until I heard from you, I didn't know that 7II can use Eye-AF only in AF-S. Very nice and useful detail. BTW, Black Friday "sale" continues - prices for used 7II went from $600 to $800 for "sale". Don't fall for that, people. Use price tracking to check graphs of price changes.

I was looking into getting the 7iii but its a bit pricey specially if im barely starting, you convinced me to go for the 7ii. Thank you!

Great video! You convinced me to get this camera as my first full-frame camera and so far I love it. I mostly do photography but I'm interested in doing a bit of videography on the side and I was wondering if you convert the XAVC-S footage into something else before editing it?

You convinced me. Coming back into photography after a decade away, I was torn. My goal is real estate and possibility of stock. I bought the A7ii with a kit lens for $995 and for the heck of it bought a second body for $895. Savings got me two additional lens vs a7riii. Had considered a minty Nikon D3x for about $1k but was tired of lugging around such a beast. A hundred weddings taught me a lot! After all they are a light box and I won't do killing my gear.

We also have c100m2 5diii, but my daily driver for quick turnaround, weddings is the a7ii and a6300... even did a commercial interview with the 55mm and 28mm primes a week before quarantine.. shots look real nice... and now some narrative stuff when i need a small footprint. Just get it right in camera with good lighting techniques... and you are happy everyday

Just bought new this week in 2022 mfd May 2022, the technology for photography has matured well beyond the needs of photography decades ago.

I love the A72. it's sooo great for photography. and still decent video

Amazing Work ✌️

Great video! This is so helpful. I have a 7r II and did a similar video on whether you should buy that in 2020. Wouöd be interesting to compare the 7ii with the 7r ii as well. 🤔

I just sold my Canon 80d and I’m shopping around for an upgrade. Had my eye on this camera for some time now and this review definitely will be the reason I go ahead and get one. I’ll slap a 35mm sigma and eventually a 70-200m. Best camera for under 1k

Shout out to the story so far banner lol 🤘

amazing helpful video thank you

Was actually hesitating between this vs a6500 just because of the 4K + touchscreen display. Thank you for answering one bothering question in my mind. I think I’m gonna invest on this camera for future freelance purposes. Worried that clients might want 4K videos in the future years (even tho I’m just a Full HD-type of person). I also think full-frame sensor is an added advantage over APS-C since I shoot photos more. I just want a camera that can do both. This will be a sweet upgrade since I’m coming from a Canon 60D. Thank you for this helpful review. Kudos!
