@@lollo6551 eBay? You can get something like a Minolta 3000 or 5000 under $100. Or you can get a Sony A mount DSLR with a couple Minolta lenses under $200
@@lollo6551I just got into film last week and I got a Kodak Elgar h35n half frame camera. It’ll make the 36 shots into around 72 shots because it uses half of the frame. It’s a great beginner friendly camera. Check it out
I feel like a6700 is better, because it's cheaper and lenses are cheaper too. The image quality is almost as good in photo(less bokeh) and in video it's better(4k60 w/no crop+ 4k/120 w/1.5x crop).
Agree, I have the A7IV and when shooting at 60fps the crop factor messes you up. Also, no 4K @120 fps. I love the A6700, cheaper and 4K 120fps. The lens as you pointed out are way cheaper than full frame.
Guys, if anyone hears me here, a TRUE budget-friendly first hybrid box: *Canon R8* Full-frame, 4K 10bits, slow-mo with no crop, 40 photos a second, no record limit... Less than 2000$ Been workin' with it for few weeks now, excepting a few overheating settings to be aware, that's a true banger.
This camera is just the perfect everyday/travel size camera while still has plenty enough for photo/video performance. I sold my a7rv for this camera and I couldn’t be happier. It makes a huge difference on a daily basis.
So many "expert" focus on body. So many know better than us what we need or don't. However, you can shoot with a Ca-ni-so, a M43, APSC, FF, MF, and get very good result... as long as you choose the right lens and have a well-informed eye.
I had the A7C and honestly it didn't work for me so sold it with no regrets at all. I have not tried the A7C II, a single card slot is a deal breaker. If Sony is able to pull off a dual card slot I will certainly take a look at that. I am glad this camera works for you and most people leaving comments here.
But is the risk that high with having only 1 card slot? I never had problems with 1. I'm even shooting with the a6600. Tbh sometimes when i turn it on it tells me to repair the database and it does in seconds (not sure why this happens). Would love to hear your feedback on this!
I feel like it's a bit much to recommend this camera to "anyone" as you said. It's a good camera but it's a lot to pay for beginners/hobbyists. A better hybrid option would be the a6700; cheaper body, cheaper and smaller lenses, while having most of the same features as the a7CII.
@@Avm371998 Not really, unless you're pushing the cameras to the extremes in low light situations. You can go look at countless videos showing the differences between them, most people won't notice the difference
For starting out, the Sony a6100 would be an excellent choice. It's a hybrid, it's great for vlogging with its flip-up, not sideways, screen. It's cheap and will take all e-mount lenses. It can take both crop sensor lenses as well as full frame lenses. I have its bigger brother, the a6700. It is probably one of the very best cameras one can buy if they like working with small, yet powerful cameras. It's better than many full frame cameras, bar none. Keep in mind many companies from the East are making a lot of very good and inexpensive lenses for crop sensor and full frame bodies.
If you don’t need full frame which 99% of people realistically don’t then the A6700 is easily a better option. A6700 even beats the A7C II in many specs.
Lumix S5ii: best stabe in the business, best bang for buck, amazing image quality, autofocus is now great, even though not as good as Sony's af, dual card, way better build quality and ergonomics, it is much bigger but it also has something for photographers interested in landscape: it's the sensor shift 96mp image :) For video it's much better than the A7CII when it comes to stabe and image quality. For photo it's good enough.
The S5II looks and feels great. But excessive moire and subpar AF is still a dealbreaker compared to the A7CII. Hard to recommend that camera on both photo and video side.
@@blancomedia. the af is not subpar anymore, it’s just not as good as sony’s, the rest can be fixed with a filter or post production, it is cheaper, the glass is cheaper, it has 6k open gate… seriously
I have the a7 and I love it, I think it’s a great beginner camera for photo and video, with a price range of 400$ with a lens usually. Great way to get into Sonys expensive ecosystem with lenses. I personally will be upgrading to fx3 later this year, but 3000$ for the body alone is very intimidating especially as a beginner.
Yep, was wondering why he said that. I think it’s because he has an FX3 and he probably thinks that Cine EI mode is the only way to get dual native iso.
I feel like the a6700 is a better recommendation for a solid hybrid camera. That being said, even with the a6700, all in you're probably gonna spend 2-3k (body + smth like a sigma 28-70 mm for example); just to get started. If someone is starting out and has a 1.5k - 2k budget, a better rec would probably be an a6100 and a used 28-70 mm. APS-C is MORE than enough for a beginner or anyone not shooting professionally for weddings and stuff. Plus the lens would be cheaper allowing for more freedom and exploration.
The A7C II is the best hybrid and the best value for money camera these days, period. Currently using it for all my photography and my youtube channel and I couldnt be more happy with it
I still can't find a good reason to get this over A6700 for video. Sure it is FF but if you are going to use F1.8 or above then APSC has nice lenses with equivalent DOF.....ISO is not really an issue for video these days too. So you get identical results at cheaper price for A6700. The only thing I would upgrade to A7Cii is for 33MP which I have been evaluating as I crop my pictures some times.
@@smallbizdigitalmedia never have that issue so far. A month ago got asked by a friend to shoot a live band of his for 2hours with small pause between each song and outdoor. I don’t do super long form video or talking head.

The effort you put making this video is rock solid and really good. However, I think the price of this camera is a bit expensive for what it can offer comparing to the Sony a7iv. The a7iv is a bit higher in price by $500 but offers a very good value in both stills and video😊

Other than the Full Frame sensor, the A6700 actually has some better specs. 4k 60 with no crop, has a real mechanical shutter, 11fps photos, etc. Also lenses are going to be much cheaper and smaller

3:44 Haha, why showcase the active stabilization with the camera on a tripod? Stabilization is only necessary when there is camera shake. Sigma put active stabilization on the telephoto lens for those situations where you can't use a tripod, say when photographing wildlife or sports. Enjoyed your video, though! I can't really get used to the high frame rate, but you captured some very beautiful footage!
love the video! can you make a video on how you choose your settings for video like what iso do you use, which aperture, how do you expose? would love to see that!

I have two A mount cameras, the a300 and a390 and I’ll take either one any day over an a7 or a7II. They are way cheaper as well.
I enjoyed the Sony A7C2, having used ones for weeks before i returned it back. I have a 7R V and of course it does everything this does and more.... but you see that's the issue, sony cameras are just not fun outside of work. They are just soulless workhorse cameras.

@@MrRafalEn Film simulations and recipes, colors out of the camera, dials, look and feel of the camera. I have it all with my fuji x100v but not with my Sony a7III. Regarding the image quality, Sony wins (by a very small margin), but 90% of the time I just leave it at home.
@@aleksandrmikhailov3255 I am asking since I had Fuji for a long time. I thought that the reasons you gave would be fun for me but in the end it turned out film simulations wore out quite quickly. I got better results editing RAWs and I also stopped using dials quickly as I preferred aperture priority. For me it would be aperture ring and smaller bodies like X-E4. I now have much more fun with Canon R8 due to fast operation, great ergonomics and blazing autofocus so it’s really subjective I guess.
hi I'm a hobbyist, what is your take on the Sony 6700?. Since i have invested in APS c lenses, it is not worth upgrading to FF, i think but hey, fantastic video..nicely explained
Super cool and helpful video @peace 🤟🏼 Still super hard to decide between FX30 and 7CII for me as a hybrid cam. Rolling shutter, no 120p4K, Cine EI, 4K60p crop and bad EV and LCD. Super hard to decide
The best first camera for a new photographer always has been and always will be a film camera. It will force you to learn the basics of photography instead of doing everything for you like new cameras.
Only camera you'll ever need, check. Compact, easy to carry around, check. Affordable? Heck no. I have this camera and I still feel it is by no mean affordable.
bought this with gm 24 1,4 and got best webcam, photo and video in small package. but its good 2 understand, that everybody think the same way about a7cm2
No way you just recommended a $3000 camera body as an "affordable option" A better affordable option would be the canon R8. Full frame, compact, 4k 10 bit 4:2:2 recording and can shoot up to 40fps on the electronic shutter and 6 on the semi- mechanical shutter. also has no record limit, no cropping when shooting high frame rates and is a beast. You can pick one up for around 1700 AUD (1200 USD). Its a beast of a camera
Very beautiful and informative , I have same camera with 1.4 35mm sony lens. Now I want a zoom lens for video purposes. I have two options: 1) 24-105 Sony F4 OSS and 24-70 f2.8 GMll, which one will be best overall ?
Purchased release day and the only deal breaker is the single SD. The video is superb & the AF is the best. Granted, A7CII + GM lense is great but i was shocked when seeing this with Viltrox 20m 2.8. That cheap lense is what really made me a believer 🤯
@@MaiElizabeth Sometimes I think it's all about the Affiliate income. I need a new camera and would like a full mirrorless camera...but it's hard to justify $750 or more when my SL2 still works great
Some things like this are crazy price but some things are completely worth that price. Affordable is relative to the video quality/capabilities in this field. I’m just learning and these things are expensive no matter what seem like you can start with $3000 and immediately get into $10k-15k fast even as a beginner. But hey iPhones shoot well too 🤷🏻
I bought a A7IV before this camera was announced. I probably would have went with the A7cii for the smaller size. I may trade it when the A7ciii comes out.
I'm mainly a video guy and I do a lot of events coverage that require higher framerates like 4k 60 or 120 sometimes. While the A7CII I has up to 4K 60 it is only in Super 35mm mode so I'm losing some of the benefits of having a full-frame camera in the first place. Also to get 120fps I'll have to go back to using 1080p like a caveman lol. It would be a great second camera to have but the A7CII is most definitely Not the ONLY camera I'll ever need. If I had only one camera right now I'd pick the FX3 keeping within that price range. The A6700 is close but the overheat with kill me for sure on certain projects, especially as I live in the tropics 😅
Well dude, you've convinced me to sell my A7IV for this. Form factor is incredible, plus it just looks cooler with the silver. Your color grade is incredible - would love to see a tutorial of your process sometime!
I use R6mk2. But regret I was greedy and didn't get R8. IBIS is not handy, for video you need stab anyway, for pics if too dark? don't shoot. Sony releasing new cameras sooo fast, I can't keep on upgrading :)
Unfortunately this camera (and many others) aren't available in my country and I don't want to pay customs to import (cause it's bloody expensive) so I'm sticking with my ZV-E10 😅
"great battery life, can last maybe a day". Here i am with my Nikon D800 after 8 day trip to Japan with still 30% left of the battery on a single charge. Or multiple photoshoots on same charge.
Naaah, Id rather go for A6700 - modern menu system, best on the market AF, 4K 120, 240p full hd that looks pretty nice, cheaper and smaller lenses but you can use FF glass if you want to. A7C is just A7III with shitty viewfinder and body too small for FF glass coz of small grip.
the old A7c is good enough if you want something very close but on a budget. I have one and happy with it. would consider the A7ciiR if i were to upgrade.
I am looking for a lightweight and compact camera to use on high altitude expeditions in the Himalayas. and I am expecting to get good quality photos and videos of other mountains from the top of the summit. which would be a best? I'll be very grateful if you guide me. Thank you.
Seriously? The A7C mkII USED is still a $2200 camera, for just the body! Tack on a lens, and your almost looking at $2500! This is not the budget for any remotely reasonable beginner.
I get by with a pair of A7c (mark1) bodies along with an older original A7s for low light ... But...I don't do much video ...so... a cell phone takes care of that...Mostly street stills where I live here in Bangkok...(I am retired). Cheers
I was watching the video till the very end with passion. then, all of the sudden I just clicked on the camera web site... man, how can be a camera for beginners or even people who don't know if they are interested in vlogging or whatever if is more than 2k? come on.

Recently i tried out a X-T5 and LeicaQ3 and honestly with the hours i had with them i can see why people enjoy these cameras for family and friends and adventure. Not saying you can't do that with sony, but they are in a whole different league of fun in my OP. For video i think this camera out classes both Nikon,Fuji and Leica.... For photo? Hell no. Either way i hope it works out for you ;)
What do you mean by fun ? Retro dials for full manual in photo mode or something else ?
@@MrRafalEn Film simulations and recipes, colors out of the camera, dials, look and feel of the camera. I have it all with my fuji x100v but not with my Sony a7III. Regarding the image quality, Sony wins (by a very small margin), but 90% of the time I just leave it at home.
@@aleksandrmikhailov3255 I am asking since I had Fuji for a long time. I thought that the reasons you gave would be fun for me but in the end it turned out film simulations wore out quite quickly. I got better results editing RAWs and I also stopped using dials quickly as I preferred aperture priority. For me it would be aperture ring and smaller bodies like X-E4. I now have much more fun with Canon R8 due to fast operation, great ergonomics and blazing autofocus so it’s really subjective I guess.
Solid video dude!! Thanks!!
hi
I'm a hobbyist, what is your take on the Sony 6700?. Since i have invested in APS c lenses, it is not worth upgrading to FF, i think
but hey, fantastic video..nicely explained
Super cool and helpful video @peace 🤟🏼 Still super hard to decide between FX30 and 7CII for me as a hybrid cam. Rolling shutter, no 120p4K, Cine EI, 4K60p crop and bad EV and LCD. Super hard to decide
The best first camera for a new photographer always has been and always will be a film camera. It will force you to learn the basics of photography instead of doing everything for you like new cameras.
Sony fx30 is the best budget cinematic camera. 4k 120p is the best for slow motion cinematic shots
Only camera you'll ever need, check.
Compact, easy to carry around, check.
Affordable? Heck no.
I have this camera and I still feel it is by no mean affordable.
What is the LUT you're using? It's beautiful.
This camera changed the game for me 💭
still sad you dogged the FX30 :P
bought this with gm 24 1,4 and got best webcam, photo and video in small package. but its good 2 understand, that everybody think the same way about a7cm2
No way you just recommended a $3000 camera body as an "affordable option"
A better affordable option would be the canon R8. Full frame, compact, 4k 10 bit 4:2:2 recording and can shoot up to 40fps on the electronic shutter and 6 on the semi- mechanical shutter. also has no record limit, no cropping when shooting high frame rates and is a beast. You can pick one up for around 1700 AUD (1200 USD). Its a beast of a camera
Dose this fall inline with the a7c?
Sony A7 Siii vs Sony A7 iv vs Sony A7 Cii - which of these is a good overall camera?
Canon R5
Very beautiful and informative , I have same camera with 1.4 35mm sony lens. Now I want a zoom lens for video purposes. I have two options: 1) 24-105 Sony F4 OSS and 24-70 f2.8 GMll, which one will be best overall ?
24-70 would work best
my first camera was a Sony a6000. Then moved on to the a6400 and now im rockin a6600
how was it? I'm looking to buy to take photos of cars
Unreal hybrid camera.
Does it fit in one's pocket with a lens attached?
If not, this isn't a feature.
I have this camera. Could you please help me with 2 best travel lens for this camera.
I right now have tamron 28-70 f2.8 g2 and Sony 85mm 1.8 fe
Purchased release day and the only deal breaker is the single SD. The video is superb & the AF is the best. Granted, A7CII + GM lense is great but i was shocked when seeing this with Viltrox 20m 2.8. That cheap lense is what really made me a believer 🤯
Damn ..these shots are no joke. 🤯
the colours in this video are sooo nice!! thanks for sharing
$2200???? Dude..... Relatively affordable??
Many youtubers have the problem to understand the meaning of 'affordable'. And it really annoys me.
@@MaiElizabeth Sometimes I think it's all about the Affiliate income. I need a new camera and would like a full mirrorless camera...but it's hard to justify $750 or more when my SL2 still works great
SONY always overrated and over priced, lens too
If it’s for work, that’s dirt cheap.
Some things like this are crazy price but some things are completely worth that price. Affordable is relative to the video quality/capabilities in this field. I’m just learning and these things are expensive no matter what seem like you can start with $3000 and immediately get into $10k-15k fast even as a beginner. But hey iPhones shoot well too 🤷🏻
no! all my idol collabing!
Is this camera better than a7CR??
Any recommendations under the 200$ price tag? I'm really a newbie, all I need is Full HD and 3,5 mm port.
Canon 70D
color grading is so amazing🥹Can you teach me ?
would love to see this as well😍
I bought a A7IV before this camera was announced. I probably would have went with the A7cii for the smaller size. I may trade it when the A7ciii comes out.
Is it better then ZV e1 ?
Is that the 24mm you shot the interview shots on ?
I'm mainly a video guy and I do a lot of events coverage that require higher framerates like 4k 60 or 120 sometimes. While the A7CII I has up to 4K 60 it is only in Super 35mm mode so I'm losing some of the benefits of having a full-frame camera in the first place. Also to get 120fps I'll have to go back to using 1080p like a caveman lol.
It would be a great second camera to have but the A7CII is most definitely Not the ONLY camera I'll ever need.
If I had only one camera right now I'd pick the FX3 keeping within that price range. The A6700 is close but the overheat with kill me for sure on certain projects, especially as I live in the tropics 😅
We love A7C, we use it for our vlogs, it’s just a great camera. We will soon on to mark2👍🏻
sam the only one who gave the real beginner (budget) options tbh great vid tho
Difference between a A7CII and a A7CR??
Well dude, you've convinced me to sell my A7IV for this. Form factor is incredible, plus it just looks cooler with the silver. Your color grade is incredible - would love to see a tutorial of your process sometime!
What about background blur/ bokeh??? Is it ok???
I use R6mk2. But regret I was greedy and didn't get R8. IBIS is not handy, for video you need stab anyway, for pics if too dark? don't shoot. Sony releasing new cameras sooo fast, I can't keep on upgrading :)
Unfortunately this camera (and many others) aren't available in my country and I don't want to pay customs to import (cause it's bloody expensive) so I'm sticking with my ZV-E10 😅
Do you shoot your videos in 30p? Looks so sharp
"great battery life, can last maybe a day". Here i am with my Nikon D800 after 8 day trip to Japan with still 30% left of the battery on a single charge. Or multiple photoshoots on same charge.
Naaah, Id rather go for A6700 - modern menu system, best on the market AF, 4K 120, 240p full hd that looks pretty nice, cheaper and smaller lenses but you can use FF glass if you want to.
A7C is just A7III with shitty viewfinder and body too small for FF glass coz of small grip.
the old A7c is good enough if you want something very close but on a budget. I have one and happy with it. would consider the A7ciiR if i were to upgrade.
I have an A7Cii as a travel/backup to my A7RV. I added the Smallrig baseplate grip that will really help. Incorrect, the A7Cii has dual native ISO !!!
Stabilisation. PLEASE. STABLE-i-SATION
I am looking for a lightweight and compact camera to use on high altitude expeditions in the Himalayas. and I am expecting to get good quality photos and videos of other mountains from the top of the summit. which would be a best? I'll be very grateful if you guide me. Thank you.
Amazing video. 10/10 honestly, but one question.. why did you pronounce stabilization like that 👀
There is a dual ISO in this camera, it’s just not 12800 as in fx3
What does it mean please in comparison with fx 3
@@IRFAN-po5sz for slog3:
Fx3/a7s3/fx6 dual iso is 800/12800
Fx30/a7iv/a7cii dual iso 800/2500
i feel like this is more pro than consumer-pro level :< great vid tho
What lenses were used on the A7C II to shoot this footage? Did you use a filter like Promist?
considering the halo effect and orange ring found on some clips, he might have used cinebloom filter from moment
Who recommends an R5 as a 'first beginner cam'?? I guess if you have coin, sure.
Seriously? The A7C mkII USED is still a $2200 camera, for just the body! Tack on a lens, and your almost looking at $2500! This is not the budget for any remotely reasonable beginner.
I get by with a pair of A7c (mark1) bodies along with an older original A7s for low light ... But...I don't do much video ...so... a cell phone takes care of that...Mostly street stills where I live here in Bangkok...(I am retired). Cheers
How u compare it with Nikon zf?
I love my Nikon Z6, coming from a Fuji Xt2 and Sony a7rii, the Nikon Zf is another league, excellent camera! And z lenses are really good
I got an A7CR. I love it !
are you elon musk or what
I was watching the video till the very end with passion. then, all of the sudden I just clicked on the camera web site... man, how can be a camera for beginners or even people who don't know if they are interested in vlogging or whatever if is more than 2k? come on.
I am really looking for the rangefinder style camera. This camera with the 35mm Zeiss lens should work well. I wish Sony had a New 35mm.
Why not just get the real thing and buy an actual rangefinder? Get a Leica. Far better camera than this anyways
I would recommend to any beginner to get the a6700 + sigma 18-50 2.8f.
what are your go to lens for everyday and travel use?
