The Sony A7ii is in amazing camera, especially if you can find it under $1000 - I think it might be the best Sony camera under $1000.
In this video, you will watch the Sony a7ii review from a perspective of tech user that has NEVER used a Sony Camera. I truly enjoyed the Sony a7ii unboxing 2023 and the point in this video is Should I buy the Sony a7ii in 2023? The Sony a7ii in 2023 is almost 10 years old, but still holds up an incredible video and image quality.
Enjoy The Sony A7ii Review 2023.

    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.

    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..

    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.

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 🙂

    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!

    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.

    AF system on A7 mark I and mark II is way too slow to track moving subjects efficiently. You'll struggle a lot trying to work around the AF limitations... For Sony E-mount, A7 mark 3 was the real starter for Sony. But prices new andnsecond hand of this sub par camera is just ridiculous.

    Just bought the camera, but the choice was "imposed" on me by IBIS (damn Parkinson). Otherwise I would have stayed with my beloved α7.

    Focus....you gotta get your focus down. even on the first camera you used. Just out of focus. Also, maybe use the camera before you recommend it. Just saying, you have no experience with you but your recommending it.....not a good look.
