We play with the successor of my latest RU-vid camera, the Sony a7c II! We also discuss choosing between an a7IV, 6700, and ZVE1. This is not a sponsored video. The camera was on loan from Sony; I didn't get to keep it, and they had no input on this video. :)

Smaller than some Fuji cameras, fantastic autofocus and a very wide range of lenses: I really like using Fuji cameras, but the A7 CII is the first Sony that I find really attractive.

@CianMcsweeney 9 месяцев назад

I honestly think they went too crazy with the shrinkage, make it very slightly longer and you could fit a way better EVF in it

@USGrant21st 8 месяцев назад

But A7Cii colors still suck. The yellowish and greenish tints in the skin, blue skies are cyan, and green grass looks poisonous. After over a decade of development Sony still can't get colors right. Actually, A7Cr looks quite noticeably better, that and A7RV are the only Sonys I would even consider.

@janvirtanen9110 3 месяца назад

I wish it had a better viewfinder and perhaps proper mechanical shutter. Wouldnt mind 1cm larger body. Anyway because lenses are not that small. Maybe also different kind of tilt out screen, not this vlog nonsense.

@zovil5154 3 месяца назад

⁠@@USGrant21stare really the colors of a7cr better ? I am considering switching from Fuji to a7cii and I am hoping that Sony has fixed the colors ! I am unhappy with my old a7rii .

@USGrant21st 3 месяца назад

@@zovil5154 A7Cr colors are better, but not drastically better. I personally gave up on Sony, though they tweak color with every release there is still the same color signature. I tried everything under the sun and I can't come to the place where I would say I like those colors. In good daylight I think I can make Sony work, but in more difficult light situations I don't like the results at all. Other people may not be so sensitive and Sony colors works for them especially if they have nothing to compare with. Some people like editing colors to make them completely unnatural, I think Sony will work for them as well. As for me, I like happy colors I get from Nikon and Panasonic so I will stick with those brands.

@cohoonatube 10 месяцев назад

Great addition to Sony’s lineup, thanks Omar! AND, funny enough, I completely agree on the “dimpled leather”… I was hoping Sony was going to add that to all future models (shallow of me I know). Also, what is up with Sony’s display Rez’?! My Z6ii experience was so much more enjoyable with decent screen resolutions.

@MarcioK 10 месяцев назад

Sad that only Sony is making the camera that I, as a Fuji user (X-S20 now, AMAZING camera, specially after the last firmware update), always wanted - the A7CII and the A6700. A "rangefinder" body (attracts much less attention in the streets and when travelling), with IBIS, very good photo and video specs, good AF. Just a joystick missing. But Fuji will never make a rangefinder body with IBIS.

@metabeta87 5 месяцев назад

Omar, you are the FIRST AND ONLY reviewer to complain about the grip texture change. For a person who’s just a meticulous in design as you, I too feel the exact same way about the texture change. The A7c had such a pleasant cafe racer aesthetic. While the a7cii has a better overall grip, the texture just isn’t as refined. I love holding and admiring every detail of my tech, and this one design change is constantly overlooked in other reviews. Thank you SO much for bringing that up, I felt like I was going crazy!

@fabipuello 10 месяцев назад

Great job Omar. To me it comes down to preference if what you want is the smallest full frame that Sony offers this is it. If size doesn't matter a used a7iv probably would do more for less money

@Elgsdyr 10 месяцев назад

4:35 - The changes to the On/Off switch is so that you don't accidentally turn off the camera when using the front dial.

@ogonzilla 10 месяцев назад

Yah. But my a74 has a front dial. Never a problem for me 😊

@Elgsdyr 10 месяцев назад

@@ogonzilla The a7IV switch and shutter button looks more recessed because of the deeper grip which is probably the reason for the difference.

@jackmartin4367 10 месяцев назад

Enjoyable video. I do have the A7C. The main attraction for me is the AI assisted AF currently in the A7R5. What did you think of that. Also the better EVF,though frankly I don’t find the one in the A7C so bad.

@Jabber-ig3iw 10 месяцев назад

Does it start up any quicker than the A7c? Compared to the Fujis I used to own I was very surprised at how long it takes for the camera to be ready to shoot. Love that it has a front dial and the EVF is slightly improved but I’m not keen on that unmarked top dial, I like to be able to glance at it to check what it’s set at.

@randallk204 10 месяцев назад

Hey Omar great review and video as per your USUAL. I had the A7C twice, sold them both, mainly because the EVF was just beyond terrible.. One thing you didn't mention? and it's one of the other reasons I sold both A7C's were sensor dust. I was SO super careful when changing lenses...and barely changed lenses, actually, but I had dust on both sensors within about a day of first using them. Maybe just bad luck. Anyways so I THINK, you did not mention the A7CII and A7CR have the sensor cover "THINGY" that flips down, which may make a big difference with sensor dust when changing lenses.. For me that plus a better EVF may be enough to maybe try my third A7C ..in the A7CII. In any case, really enjoyed your mini review and your great sense of humor!, as always! :)

@ogonzilla 10 месяцев назад

Thanks. Yes! There is a sensor shield.

@professionalpotato4764 10 месяцев назад

Definitely not bad luck regarding sensor dust. I think a Fuji tech staff told me once the way Sony discharges the sensor when off is a bit different? I never had dust spots on my Fuji and I saw another shooter change lenses WITHOUT CAPS in his bag. Zero dust. But something about the way Sony sensors hold electrical charge even when off attracts a lot of dust. Saw it on my A7C within days of shooting. And I only switch between 2 lenses maybe 3-4 times a day at best.

@paulmaher1705 9 месяцев назад

@juliettemansour 10 месяцев назад

Hi Omar, I needed this since I was considering the A7C as a travel option for street and occasional landscape/wildlife. I don't think as a stills shooter that the mark II makes sense - correct me if I'm wrong. I'm torn though because while the full frame option would be great, I don't have any Sony lenses but fully stocked on Fuji, so thinking of the X-T5 instead. (Currently own the xh2s, x-t30ii and x-e2 and wanted a little better IQ in lower light).

@ogonzilla 10 месяцев назад

The XT5 will get you more resolution but no much better low light performance. Try the enhance detail LR feature or check out DXO labs if you’re unhappy with your files.

@professionalpotato4764 10 месяцев назад

Sold my X-T4 and all Fuji stuff for the A7C and it's been pretty good. Apart from some small changes I had to live with, the A7C + 16-35mm f/4 PZ makes a great travel setup. GM quality while costing similar to a Fuji 10-24 or 16-36mm f6 equivalent and lighter too! Maybe when Fuji makes a 10-24mm f2.8 that's smaller or lighter than the Sony I might go back.

@rickbiessman6084 10 месяцев назад

I’m actually glad Sony swapped the dimpled leather for the normal one because 1) I don’t find it very grippy and 2), which is a huge pet peeve of mine, small skinflakes get caught in the dimples and they’re kinda hard to get out! That REALLY bothers me even though it doesn’t really matter! :D Also I feel like the more leather-like texture fits the vintage-modern aesthetic better.
