Follow my travels and my photography on Instagram: instagram.com/laurabccom/ Do you want me to do more videos about the Sony A7RV? Request below! 🥰
I don’t care about anything, you are so beautiful 🌹🌹🌹🌹
In 2007, I started using Canon 5d mk1, and instantly fell in love with it. Even after trying Sony, Panasonic, and Fujifilm, my love for Canon remains strong. The simplicity and wide range of lenses they offer are unparalleled. I have decided to switch back to Canon next week.
I got a Sony A7RV as well! I switched from Nikon and I absolutely LOVE IT! It's almost TOO GOOD!
I was also a Nikon shooter for a lot of years but after seeing examples of the image quality of the Sony A7RV I just had to switch. Regrets? Only 1, I need a faster laptop to process the 61 megapixel images.
I really enjoy your videos , I'm recently subscribed to your channel and find you very easy to listen to, as someone who's just starting with photography you have great advice . Thanks Laura keep up the great work .
I told you that you gonna love it 😄💪🏼
I also switched from Canon to Sony and I love it. As Laura said, listen to your needs. You can't go wrong with any of the brands quality wise but other aspects like customizability plays bigger role. Sony is extraordinary in low light so it might be an important factor for some. Super fast and reliable autofocus helps with video too. All in all I love it :)
I fell in love with Canon after holding a 5Diii for the fist time... that simple big wheel and huge bright viewfinder....I've had canon in my heart ever since. The new Sony cameras are amazing too and I can see why you switched, especially for better ibis on upcoming travel videos 💙
video just in time! I'm thinking about what camera should I buy and what differences between this two
Hi Laura, Thank you for this video! I am currently on Nikon Z and I am so emotionally attached to it that I don't want to leave it. But, my needs as a photographer have changed and I am now a social media manager which means I have to create video content. So I am considering the new A7C II. I haven't stopped thinking about it all day and now that I have watched your video I feel way more relaxed about it. You are so correct with the fact you can change and manipulate stuff in post to get them how you want... that it doesn't really matter what you shoot with any more. Thanks!
Sony A7IV user here, Just wanted to say I love your content and your work! Stay incredible!
I was about to take the Sony A7IV! Another beast! 😍 And thank you so so much Timothy. I really appreciate your amazing feedback. Thanks for being here! 😊
❤@@LauraBC
I could listen to you talk all day!
Great Video.
Thank you! ❤️
I have also made a switch from Canon to Sony two weeks ago, and I absolutely don't regret it especially since I didn't have much Canon camera gear to begin with since I just got my canon dslr back in the beginning of this year. And I absolutely agree with you on Color Science, because I mainly got Canon because of it, and now I got a Sony and I barely notice any difference. Sony a7ii that I have, has better low light performance, better image stabilization, more lens compatibility, that color science was not a deal breaker for me. (but I must say that I miss the fully articulating touch screen from my canon t6i)
It is interesting to see how different creators choose their gear and as you say: choose what ever suits your purpose best. Ones in a while I am debating with myself switching to sony but the one thing which keeps me away from it is very simple. They do not offer, at least for the cameras I do consider, a complete functional touchscreen. Of course Color science is another topic as I do not grade a lot in post, but I think I could deal with that. But not being able to change in video mode quickly some different settings is something I do not like… Also, when I compared my R7 screen with the A7c from a good friend it seems the sony screen did not show the Color accurate. From Canon I get what I see on the flip screen, with sony, at least it seems, i do not. Thanks for sharing your experience, keep up the good work, saludos desde Alemania
Nice video. i am planning to take Sony A7CII.
I stuck with Canon because 1.) I already had a little bit of money in the EF Lenses. 2.) The 28-70mm f/2L I am really looking forward to the R5 MK II because CanonRumors says it's supposed to be 60 MP.
What do you use the a7c for if you are using the r5 for photo and video? I’ve been following you for a while and love how informative you are👏🏽
It is a breath of fresh air to see a female photographer here on RUclips. I am just beginning and learning. I purchased the Sony A7R5. Would you mind sharing your autofocus settings? I am having a hard time nailing focus when my granddaughters are in action. Thank you.
This looked like Overton house in Milton Scotland very near my home town, beautiful pictures
informative video Laura, Sony have busy with new camera a7c mk II a7CR impressed with 8K potential of the sony a7r V very informative content.
Thank you John! The Sony A7CII looks incredible! 😍 I wish I had that one rather than my normal A7C. 😄
Great video I am a canon user but keep a sony rx100 mk2 for a walkabout pocketable camera
New fan from Malaysia 🇲🇾
Thanks for sharing your (honest) thoughts.
You’re welcome! 🥰
@@LauraBC and I LOOOOOOOVE your accent!
Never change ❤️
@@MarioCastillion 🥹❤️ Thank you Mario! Big love!!
I own a a7iv and love it but i see myself switching to the a7rv in a year or two for the extra features
I was about to take the A7IV It’s an incredible camera! 😍 In the end I went for the A7RV so I don’t have to think about changing till many years to come. Both are beasts! 🥰
For the last 14 years I have shot Sony. I don't remember not one instance where a client came to me and said that the color science was off. Nor have I ever had a client come and tell me that my camera looked like a toy or that it didn't seem to fit my hand well. The point that I'm making is that all of the people who come up with these insane reasons to hate Sony would be better off focusing on becoming a more skilled photographer. Cuz at the end of the day that's what really matters. Thanks for making this video.
I saw you already have 2 fantastic lenses to cover almost anything: the 24-105 G and the 70-200 GM II. Any plans to get the 50mm GM f/1.2 ? :D
I shoot on an R6 Mark II but I tried my friends Lumix S5 ii a few weeks ago and honestly I thought it was pretty good. Especially for the price, and the L mount has some pretty great glass.
I have the S5 ii with the Lumix S Pro 24-70mm f2.8 and it's a dream.
if I had the money I would definitely choose that route.
The S5IIx is one impressive piece of gear.
Ergonomics, I used to have Canon DSLR cameras, yes ok ergonomics, but too big and heavy when hiking for a day, I have very large hands and I have NO problems with Sony ergonomics, I love the small and light Sony Cameras, easy to carry for a whole day. As all new menus and settings can be difficult, but when you get to now Sony and make your own custom settings and use the fb button, no problems.
I dropped a like ;) 👍
Thanks! 😄🙏🏼
And then came along the Canon R1 and R5 Mk II Is it really worth the effort and cost to switch systems? No matter how many times we jump ship at some stage something better will always appear on the other side 😵💫
You should have mentioned the variety of Sony and third-party lenses for E-mount. I recently bought the Sony a6700 and the 24 mm 1.4 Sigma art to get a 36 mm full-frame equivalent, and for that price point, I'm impressed with the result of that 26 sensor coming from the FX30. The AI autofocus is absolutely amazing! I shoot a lot of portraits, and the human recognition with the 759 focus points helps you to focus more on the composition.
I already have 2 long videos talking about that and more . The third party lenses, the IBIS, the autofocus, and all the reasons why I switched. 😊 So happy to hear that you’re loving your A6700! 😍
I got my R5 in june.. have the rf 24-70 2.8f and just got the rf 70-200 2.8f and a 50mm 1.8.. the battery grip.. yeah its gear for 12500$ in my currency.. and that non existing 3rd party lens options.. so for fun I put together the A7rv with the GM 50 f1.2 the samyang 85 f1.4 a tamron 35-150 2-2.8f a bigger cf express card and a extra battery for 9000$ that's almost enough for me to change to Sony just for the 3rd party and ofc the upgraded AI in the A7RV... 😅😢
What about Canon R8 vs Sony A7R V ?
I'm going to reevaluate in a few years but I just bought into some used Nikon equipment and I have noticed that hardly anyone using Nikon. Why?
Laura gracias por tus videos! Muy inspirador. Justamente tengo una Canon r6 y dudo si invertir en una sony apsc para viajes. Crees que un sistema tipo sony pero apsc(como la a6700) se suficiente para uso profesional?
Quería preguntarte si tienes algún consejo para personas que venimos de otra profesion. Me da miedo cambiarme porque no puedo costear dejar mi trabajo y reducir mi ingreso para “probar” algo nuevo, pero al mismo tiempo ya no soy feliz en mi trabajo y quiero entrar en fotografía. Pero no se como sera ese camino.
Gracias por todos tus videos!
De nada! Me alegro un montón de que te gusten mis videos. 😍 He oído muy buenas opiniones de la A6700. No puedo recomendar personalmente porque nunca la he probado y siempre he preferido cámaras full-frame.
Sí que podrás usarla profesionalmente. Hoy en día, todas las cámaras tienen muchas capacidades. 😊
En mi canal tienes un montón de vídeos sobre como puedes hacerte hueco en el mundo de la fotografía. Pero haré un video sobre lo que me acabas de decir. Yo también tenía un trabajo y decidí dejarlo por la fotografía. 😍 Pero daré consejos sobre comp hacerlo. ❤️
Wow no imagine que tuvieras tiempo para responder!
Mil gracias por tus consejos!
De verdad no tengo palabras.
Te deseo sigas teniendo mucho éxito.
Mientras tanto seguiré viendo tus videos, tus consejos son invaluables
@latincoder Hago todo lo que puedo por contestar. 🥰 Me gusta estar en línea cuando publico video pero si que se me hace cada vez más difícil. 😅 Un abrazo gigante y muchas gracias por estar aquí! 😊
Hola has pensado en tener un canal paralelo en español?
Tu delivery me resulta muy interesante con mucha energía creo que sería una maravillosa experiencia y yo se mucho más trabajo
Have you done boudoir photography with the Sony A7RV? I am deciding between Sony and Canon EOS R5. I'm leaning towards the Sony thanks to your video, but would be interested in your thoughts.
61MP and with lenses like the 135GM and other GM glass and possibilities to use Sigma and Tamron: a no brainer!
im a CANON SPEACIALST I LIKE IT AND I STAY FOREVER FOR PHOTO LOVE YOUR VIDEO🤩😁👍
Sony User here! 😊
😍
As one who comes from a film background I hate fiddling with menus. I hate the slow start up times of digital cameras. I hate autofocus an ingenious solution to a non existent problem. I do not really enjoy post, it's just a tedious chore, but so is darkroom work. I do like the memory cards and the huge number of images that can be taken. I've zero experience with video so have no opinion and can't personally think of anything I would want to record on video.
Do you recommend sony a7iv for wedding photography?
100% 😍 I think it's an incredible camera. Great for both photo and video. 33mp is more than enough to take great shots, and print the photos while keeping an amazing quality! 😊
Love your channel! Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like you actually switched from an older Canon DSLR to a modern Sony mirrorless. That's a huge jump in technology and a big difference. It's not exactly an apples to apples comparison.
Thank you so much! 😍 This is not a comparison between a DSLR or a mirrorless. It’s my very personal opinion about my switch and how I feel about the things I mentioned. I own the 5DMKIV. But I did use Canon mirrorless cameras like the R6 and R5. 🥰 I should have mentioned it in the video but I have 2 full videos talking about it. 😄 Big hug from London! :)
The 5D mark 4 can take stunning images just as any mirrorless..... I was at a outside party and the photographer had a R5 an took me and a friends photo i took some pictures same day in the parking lot with my 6D mk 2 my pics blew away the R5...... Maybe it was his lens idk but i expected much more
@@romelmurdock4187whilst there are improvements in sensor technology most of the improvements are in the autofocus and video department so at the end of the day it’s the photographer that makes an image though technology makes it easier.
I can't understand why you couldn't find a camera within the canon 😅 ecosystem to switch to 😢such as the eos R5
❤
❤️😊
I shot professionally with Canon from 2003. I have now switched from Canon to Sony just because of external factors and opportunities. All things being equal I would have no reason to switch. I regret doing so in some ways - mainly ergonomics, but in the end my images are the same. The colour is no different if you know how to post process. Sony are more 'technical' cameras whereas Canon feel more like you are using the heritage of a company who know about film and the experience of photography. In the end if you learn the camera and get your muscle memory there is no difference between any make - it's up to you to learn the tool and get the most out of it. If you get the most out of any manufacturer, your ability will shine through. I am taking the best photos I have ever taken with Sony, but that is because I have more years of experience and not due to brand.
I couldn’t agree more with this! I still love Canon. All the brands are incredible when knowing how to use them. Thank you for sharing such a nice and realistic feedback. ❤️
Hello Laura I've been wanting to ask for a canon 5d mark 4 camera for a long time what can you say I've been wanting to buy for a long time
I love the Canon 5DMKIV so much. No complaints about anything. Just that is a bit big and heavy but I personally love it. Now I’ll travel more often so that could be inconvenient but otherwise, in love with it! 😍
Thank you so much Laura take care of yourself and good luck If you come to Uzbekistan we will be glad
The 5Div is a good camera without a doubt. However it's quite outdated regarding the options and tech. Like Laura you'll discover that when you get like an A7Rv in your hands. Then you find out what you were missing.
Did you compare the Sony to the Canon R5?
Yes 😊 I do have a full video talking about it. I linked it in the description of the video. Here I talk about my switch and my honest opinion as a professional for 14 years. In the other video about the reasons why I switched. And I do talk about why I didn’t choose the R5. 😊
@@LauraBC Thank you Laura I will watch it. 🙌
@@LauraBC R5 is pretty old camera now , R5 MII will blow sony away. by the way we have Fujifilm X-H2 , X-T5 and Sony A7 IV . I still rate Canon over Sony anyday . They don't have third party lens support , that's what made me purchase the Sony. Recently I heard they gonna open their mount to third party lenses manufactures like Sigma , Tamron , Samyang, Viltrox ..etc. That will destroy the dominance of Sony in mirrorless world. Fujifilm is also just like Canon in most ways , its like heritage and amazing features . I think for your photography style you should have waited little longer for the release of R5II and purchase that. Sony A7R5 is an amazing camera too.
Canon for photos, Sony for videos🤙🏾
Your personal choice, but Canon 5D Mark IV is released in September 2016, and Sony Alpha 7R V is released in October, 2022, no comparison at all, you missed so many Canon cameras like R5, R3!
You clearly missed a video where I talk about why I didn’t choose the R5 or any other Canon camera. 😄 And this is not a comparison between the 5DMKIV and my new Sony A7RV. By any means! They’re not comparable. 🙏🏼
Late to the video as I have been sick all week with a cold but this will be a good one…traitor 😉😜🤣
Hahaha 🙈 I really hope you feel better! I’ve been a bit sick too this week. ❤️ Big healing hug!
❤🤗🥰
You are little late :) ... I've made a switch 3 years a go from Canon RF system and never looked back. Sony is by far better in any regards except that I like Canon ergonomics little more. Cheers.
Canon is still more reliable
The arguments people make for switching systems is bullshit. Switching not necessary at all these days. You don’t switch for technical reasons. What are the real reasons?
Don't agree. I think many if not most people switch for technical reasons...
Why does every single canon RUclips photographer switch to Sony?
because the system suits content creation more in both cameras and lenses.
Because the lenses are cheaper, and because Canon banned 3rd party lenses (now, they're letting some lens brands produce some lenses, though).
Canon is a Photography first camera system. Sony is a Videography First camera system.
canon has an entire cinema line too.
@@HikingWithMartin So has Sony
Well that's just not true. Both make excellent photography and videography cameras even though Sony in general is one step ahead of Canon during the past decade.
Why terrified? Sony is much much better than Sony.. Sony is the first mirrorless to have eye-auto focus, and then the rest just followed it 😅😁 truths!
