    THANK YOU for actually rendering the project in 2.35:1 and not just adding black bars so it fills my ultrawide monitor 🙏🏻 I sold my a7iv for an a7c ii and as much as I dislike having a single card slot, it's so worth it to have a camera you love the design of and will actually use

    Fellow a7c ii owner here and I absolutely love this little dude both for photos and videos. Have a cage permanently attached to it so I can easily rig this up for video work which also addresses the "pinky finger issue" people with larger hands tend to have with this camera. It's still smaller than an a7iv though.

    I went A7CR. Got so used to the A7RV and love the smaller form factor. Going to pick up the 40mm G or Samyang 45/1.8 as main driver for that smaller cam. Another reason to go for the bigger 61MP sensor is you get a lot of pixels even in S35 mode (so go ahead an use your smaller lenses) without degradation.

    Thank you for the video. My newest two camera travel kit has both the A7CII and A7CR. I’m very happy with them both and tuning my lens kit for them. Both Sony’s small G series lenses and Sigma’s I-Series f/2 primes are great choices I think. I do plan to consider adding the new f/2.8 G zooms for when I don’t want to switch lenses. The 24-50/2.8 and 16-25/2.8 look very promising. Do you plan to try any of these? Let us know. Take care.

  • @VictorLaforteza

    A7cii is sharper as well due to oversampled 6k to 4k but zve1 would be soft and pleasing with a slight bump in dynamic range and extreme low light. Other than that very similar if you expose well and grade it! It’ll be up to what you need from a camera! For me the deciding factor was the 33mp photos and EVF. Makes a good hybrid camera

    6:12 a FF has always better lowlight performance with the same aperture lenses, if you have an F2 lens on A7C you need an F1.4 on an APS-C camera to get the same noise performance. That is why an FF system is cheaper, since F2 lenses are a lot less expensive than F1.4 lenses, yes F1.4 APS-C lenses are expensive, too. The FF sensor size is the perfect sensor size for human hands and dimensions. APS-C is excellent, too but FF has the edge. There is a good reason Panasonic designed the S9, fantastic camera, large sensor in the smallest possible size, it is a perfect match with the Sigma 50mm/f2 for example. A7C your choise is excellent, too, congratulations.

    538 / 5.000 The best camera I've ever owned and I've had many cameras from Olympus, Panasonic, Canon, Nikon, Pentax and Sony, but I'm not exactly young anymore either. For the camera I have the following lenses: Sony 24mm.f.2.8 G / Sony 40mm.f.2.5 G / Sony 35mm.f.1.4 GM / Sony 50mm.f.1.4 GM / Sigma 17mm.f.4 DG DN and Sigma 90mm .f.2.8 DG DN. For Sony GM lenses, the little grip from Sony has on the camera when I use them, but I don't use them very much, as they are not small and easy to carry like the other very small lenses 🙂

    Isn't the 26.8ms rolling shutter a bit too painful at 4K@24fps? I mean even 15ms is kinda a lot, but of course talking from an A7SIII perspective which I wished it had faster readout as well than 8.7ms. That's comparable to A7Rv's 8K rolling shutter speed and as much as the crop mode 4K@24fps on it. Overall, I would opt for the A7CR for that form factor, but A7CII is still a brilliant camera.

    I don’t mind it and when I was shooting client work with the a7iv I never had a client say “that rolling shutter is noticeable” these are campaigns that have fast panning action like motocross, dancing, and racing. I think it’s very noticeable to us filmmakers but I also think it’s just us looking for perfect cameras 😂 cameras nowadays are wild!

I'm more of a wildlife filmmaker myself, and shooting my documentary film about biting midges here, even at 7.7ms of 4K@120fps at an extreme total 7x magnification, I could notice some minor jello-effect sometimes. Not sure if you gonna find someone else complaining about A7SIII/FX3 rolling shutter though, haha. Here's the film (English version) if it's something you care about and wanna see these annoying insects up close: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iKSl2NCgYdazgZs.html Highly considering the A9III but for now I need to get the A7Rv as a photography beast for weddings and as a great B-cam using 8K for interviews for multi-cropping options.

    @@VictorLaforteza As far as I know, the Venice 2 has the fastest rolling shutter out there with less than 3ms. Both A1 and Z8/9 have like 4ms and 3.7ms respectively but in photo mode, in video they're more like 15ms or faster using pixel binning and other trickery, which can still look great to be honest. I think outside sport and wildlife, filmmaking is much more forgiving nowadays with how good gear has become. Dreaming of getting the Freefly Ember S5K if I can get some sponsorship on future docs! So far docs are just a complete money drain to me but it's my absolute joy and passion in life. Trying to learn from guys like you how to improve and be better with cinematography. Warm greetings!
