    THE NEW SONY A7C II A GAME CHANGER

    Reintroduced to photography after tired of the same old iPhone photos, which are great, but I wanted more in the creative space Brand Selection, after reading on available brands did see that Nikon is dying , Cannon is Lagging and SONY is leading. Then came, the dilema of APS-C vs Full frame. Most “experts” consulted said buy good Full frame lenses for when you can afford a full frame camera. SO, BestBuy 0% financing allowed me to go ALL IN. Top SONY AI technology is available in three modeles I was exploring A7600 (APS-C) so discarded but loved the size . SONY A7IV (33mp Sensor) but lacked AI . This is when the NEW A7CII seemed to be the best option. FIRST - Compact size just like the A6700 but FULL FRAME . SECOND - AI technology which the SONY A7IV at $500 more lacked. THIRS - 33 MP sensor same as the A7IV at a much compact size (similar to A7600) . This camera is INCREDIBLE. Purchase the retro look (black/ silver) . Full with the latest technology. It is a POWERFUL camera loaded with the latest technology and software (Will blow your mind on the creative zone). I have pared this camera wit the 2 newest SONY F4 Lenses . Don’t know I the new generation of SONY F4 Lenses until you try them.. AMAZING … paired with the FOLLOWING LENSES: SONY 20-70 /F4 G and the New SONY 70-200 Macro OOS II /F4. Also purchased the SONY 2X Teleconverter . This package gives me a full frame camera focal range from 20 - 400. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

    I carry a shoulder bag with me everywhere I go and this camera has become my go to travel companion. Slimmer and lighter than a DSLR it fits perfectly in my bag and I hardly notice I'm carrying it. At 32mp this is a great camera for travel, street and landscape. Paired with the Sony 20mm f1.8 G wide angle lens you can expect nothing less than stunning results. It does have only one card slot but it has new, built in software for retrieving images from corrupt cards. As you'll see in any review on youtube it does have the same software as the Alpha 7V. It doesn't come with a guide to the camera so be prepared to hunt down videos on Youtube.

    This camera is literally an A7IV in a smaller body. If youre looking for the latest autofocus and specs in a smaller and more portable body look no further. CONS - Only One SD card slot, You will sometimes get an error when you use an aftermarket battery, when running 4k recording it can get a little warm, screen and viewfinder are not the best (I have the a7siii so im a little spoiled when it comes to a view finder and LCD screen. If you can get by these, then this is an awesome camera! SNAPPY autofocus, and AMAZING in low light. The low light in this camera rivals my A7Siii in low light. I shoot for a lot of low light events and this camera has come in clutch every time. I chose the silver one because it gives off that vintage look and ive always wanted one that looked like this.

    Been in the Sony ecosystem since getting an Alpha 7ii in 2014. Been wanting to upgrade for a while but the A7 iii and A7 iv bodies have grown bigger with each generation. Thank goodness for the A7C ii, which brings all the latest features and performance of the newer models but in a body that retains the original A7’s best feature — its compactness. If you can snag an A7C (first gen) on sale, thats still a tempting buy for the price, but if you’re looking for a Sony full-frame with the latest autofocus (its pretty darn amazing) that’ll travel well and last for years to come, the A7Cii is close to ideal.

    Sold my A7 IV to purchase this camera. It really ain't much of an upgrade. I returned it because it was missing the joy stick and it only has 1 SD card slot. It's not even CF Express compatible. I knew this going in, but didn't think it was gonna bother me. The A7c II is pretty much an A7 IV, with a few software upgrades and hardware downgrades.

    I have been a long time Sony user and I have to say, out of all of the Sony cameras I have, this one is the one I've been grabbing the most! The small form factor makes it just that much easier to take around, throw in my sling bag, and keep on me as my every day carry camera. The 33MP Full-Frame sensor creates sharp images and allows a lot of head room for cropping if (1) you have a prime lens and couldn't get close enough to your subject, or (2) you plan to use an APS-C lens with this camera which can make this set up even SMALLER! Using APS-C lenses will bring the megapixels down to 14MP but that is still PLENTY of resolution to post on social media and for comparison, the Sony ZV-E1 only has 12 MP and that camera is comparable to this one. I bought this mostly to take on trips for more casual photos while maintaining a VERY high quality image, but I also shoot video and this will be an amazing C camera to my A and B cameras that I already own as it shoots 4K video at 10bit 4:2:2! Although this camera wont be my main professional camera that I'll take for my paid work, I still think it's more than capable to handle most workloads!

    I recently upgraded to a Sony a7cii and I am not disappointed. It’s easier to use and the touch screen is an amazing feature I did not know I wanted. The images look so high quality and what amazes me that it’s smaller and lighter than my Sony a6300. I recommend this camera for any level of performance.
