I’ve owned the a7iv for two years. Decided to try the a7cii and for me, it’s a better camera. Small, amazing auto focus and a great hybrid camera. I just bought the zve1 to compare and I’m sending the zve1 back. It has some advantages over the a7cii, but not enough to justify the purchase. The a7cii is a better fit for my use.
I got the A7CR, brother to the A7Cii. It took a while but finally, I got it with the new compact camera. I've shot film cameras for 30 years and was very used to that format camera form factor. But once I really looked into this camera, I realized it is far more than the sum of its parts. I did some street shooting while shipping and it performed perfect. I used the same 40mm f2.8 lens, the light was moving away, and we were in shadows most of the time. But that didn't matter. All I had to do is see my target, raise the camera, compose and take the shot. In 1 seconds, I was done. These A7C cameras are the camera that will replace and exceed all those expensive cameras with fixed lenses. You know them as their name starts with L and F.
Thanks for sharing your experience! It’s awesome to hear how well the A7CR is working for you, especially with your background in film cameras. It sounds like you’ve really pushed the camera to its limits! I agree - the quick response and flexibility in challenging light conditions are real game-changers. Amazing to hear it can even hold its own against the big brands! Looking forward to seeing more of your shots - keep capturing and enjoy the camera!
Sony A7Cii is no slouch in the video dept. as well. Personally I believe it’s the best hybrid camera out rn for the price. What lens hood are you using??
you made the right decision, I am still waiting for the A7Cii to come down in the 2nd hand market, I own a few Sony lenses. SOny 28,mm(not great but ok) that would be compact as well.
Now after using the 40 mm for a while… I think I would rather go for rather the 28 as you said OR the 50. The 40 is just.. between what I thought it would do. But loving the camera !
I have a Canon 5d mrk4 ... I want the cii for low light video and stills.... but I still don't know if the cii compared to the fx3 for low light.... I know the fx3 is better, but coming from the 5dmrk4 will the cii be a large enough difference since I do both stills and video
@cameraprepper7938 I know but this is for my Proffisionel job (filming golf and events so I need for that kind of jobs). A review on the they lens is coming up! Any other feedback for my video?
Yeah i have no problem with that, but thanks anyway bro. Still, i need to become better so it's just a way to keep learning better words and more fluent in english. Again. thanks for the support!

Agreed. As much as I loved my thing that started with F, the A7C series has enabled me to lvl up. Heck, it even fits in my old APSC case 🤯

Great video and explanation, link of the lens hood please?
Great video! 🎉keep it real
Thank you 👋🌟
The Sony Zeiss Sonnar 35mm 2.8 T* ZA is even smaller and more light weight than the Sony 40mm 2.5 G Lens !
Ohhh Thanks! Going to take a look ;)
Just bought 70-200 G 2.8 OSS 2 🫣
@@FilipLjungberg I do not like zoom lenses, never use them, too big and too expensive.

@@FilipLjungberg Well, just why the 2.8 and not the more compact an light weight 4.0 when it is for video !?
Show us how good this camera in street people portrait
Thank for the idea, will put that in my list!
@@FilipLjungberg thanks
you need to learn to speak more clearly
I will do my best! English isn’t my native language so I am still practicing 🫡
i had no problem understanding. i think you need to learn that people are humans and there are mature ways to say things
Yeah i have no problem with that, but thanks anyway bro. Still, i need to become better so it's just a way to keep learning better words and more fluent in english. Again. thanks for the support!
