Hi ,I just purchased my a7c2 and started to adjust the initial setup, i.e. language, date, time, etc. But I can't seem to to off the "voice tutorial " feature. It was helpful to have the voice tutorial saying what dials and features was for, but now I'm familiar with most features I can't find how to turn that setting off. Your videos are top notch, probably the best on utube and my go to for all things video and photography. Thanks again

@LudwickMa 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for the hard work. I was wondering,does the a7c2 save oversampled 14mp (medium) pics the same way the a7r5 does full-frame 26mp pictures? Please also check if the a7r2 does so too when you get it? Thanks

@DustinAbbottTWI 8 месяцев назад

That is essentially what is happening, yes. You are not cropping the sensor; you are instead downsampling (oversampling) into a smaller resolution size. I do find that this can help (particularly on the high resolution bodies) in high ISO situations to get cleaner results.

@brianode11 8 месяцев назад

Awesome review! I’m looking at picking this camera up. I’ve been a Canon user for years… but the lack of mid-tier RF lenses and 3rd party lenses has me considering grabbing a Sony. Dustin, what are your fav / most used lenses on Sony bodies? Native or 3rd party? Thanks!

@DustinAbbottTWI 8 месяцев назад

My top choice is the Tamron 35-150mm VXD. It's my "if you could only own one lens" lens. I also regularly use the 50mm F1.4 GM, the inexpensive Samyang AF 45mm F1.8, the Viltrox AF 16mm F1.8 wide angle, and the Sony 200-600mm G telephoto. I've got a lot of other lenses that I like and regularly use, but those are the ones that spring to mind.

Dustin, you do have the best reviews, thanks. As an enthusiast retired traveler shooting stills for street and landscape with a A7III, I am very happy. Should I upgrade to A7CII for weight and portability? I am trying to move from 1 pound zooms (Tamron) to light primes, still do not know which ones. What do you think about it? Anybody, comments?

Hi there - if you check out the text review I actually have an extensive list of compact lenses that are a nice match for the a7CII

@RScottNH 8 месяцев назад

Another great, thorough review. I purchased it to do some street shooting. I have the 75mm and 35mm Rokinon’s for it, which are perfect size for the camera. Only thing is the autofocus goes crazy now and then. Almost like it’s being a zoom lens, yet they’re primes. Not sure if it’s the Rokinon’s, or the A7CII.

@timothysteenwyk2978 8 месяцев назад

@@DustinAbbottTWI now, an update 7 months later . . . I ended up buying the Sony a7Cii and the 40mm f/2.5 lens for street photography. I am very pleased with the camera and how it handles. It is enormous fun to use. Very light. Relatively inconspicuous. And it produces beautiful images. My only complaint is with the quality of the EVF and rear screen. When chimping, it is essentially impossible to tell whether I've got the quality of shot that I wanted. I have to trust it until I get home to look at the images on a computer screen. Still, thank you for this review!

@DustinAbbottTWI Месяц назад

@@billmartin1663 That's very fair feedback.

@marvin9952 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for the always detailed review. All the improvements made it quite a bit better than the a7iv, plus the lightweight and compact body. But I prefer the better EVF and egonomics on a7iv. If they give it a better EVF that might would be perfect. Which one would you recommend for portraits? a7iv or a7rv? Hobbyist that mostly shoots primes (still on a a7rii). Heard a7rv has improved AF and AWB over a7iv, but not sure about low light performance and color with a 60MP sensor. Plus it's much more expensive than the iv (might as well get another lens for that price)

@Vantrakter 8 месяцев назад

"Quite a bit better than the A7iv" how? The A7c ii has a significantly smaller buffer and lower res evf and worse flash sync speed. Focus stacking in camera is nice, the "AI" subject recognition a bit of an unknown. I don't mind one card slot as have never had a card fail. I think the A7c line is for those who love the form factor.

@DustinAbbottTWI 8 месяцев назад

I personally prefer the a7IV, but I prefer the form factor of the larger camera. The advantage of the a7C series is the size for those who prefer that.

@marvin9952 8 месяцев назад

I finally went with a7Rv @@DustinAbbottTWI

@adluong11 7 месяцев назад

Upgraded to the a7cII from a7III. For some people like me, the newer AI AF is more valuable than the additonal card slot of the a7IV. I also love the top-left evf because the center evf makes my nose touching the screen everytime I use it. The only thing I am missing from the a7III is the joystick and additional C buttons. However, 1700usd for a brand new "a7iv" within a compact body is just the best deal at this moment. The only conpetition is the canon R8, imo. Thank you for your informative video as always, Dustin.

@molybdnum 8 месяцев назад

I think the exciting opportunity for me is the A7CR + APS-C glass. I'm not sure what lenses will live up to the demands of that sensor, but theoretically that gives full access to the E-mount library at an image quality of >24MP.

@@molybdnum why not get an apsc camera then? doesn't make sense to pay for full Frame camera to run it in crop mode.

@nafnaf0 8 месяцев назад

@@molybdnum Yeah you really have two cameras in one with the A7CR since it can shoot 26MP in APS-C mode, just like the A6700. Still I don't think I would get any APS-C lenses. Maybe if I needed something really small and didn't need the added resolution

@DustinAbbottTWI 8 месяцев назад

I focused on autofocusing lenses in my series. I don't include the Tamron lenses because I'm largely not impressed with the autofocus motor (OSD) in those lenses. I do find it a little odd that you call that list "short" when I list a total of 26 lenses.

@DustinAbbottTWI 8 месяцев назад

@nafnaf0 - I've done the same thing. I use the APS-C mode on my a7RV for APS-C reviews and even keep a couple of APS-C lenses that are exceptional.

@stevenwaldstein2249 Месяц назад

Rewatching this review. I ended up selling my A7C and A7IV and got A7CII now but I also bought an A7CR because I’m very nervous when I travel with only one camera body and now I have two small, well featured bodies that are almost functionally identical. Still deciding on what is the maximum ISO to limit each to for normal day to day and not super dark environments. Would the 7C2 be 6400 and the 7CR be 3200 ? What are your thoughts here? Anyway take care and thank you.

@rickbiessman6084 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the detailed low light test! That grid pattern is awful :O Didn't expect that because on my A7C MKI, the noise pattern is really, really well managed IMO. Once you turn a photo black and white, you could mistake it for analog grain. And even in color it's one of the less obtrusive patterns I've seen. But something as obvious as that grid is a bit of a red flag to me...

@DustinAbbottTWI 6 месяцев назад

That might work if people stuck with very compact lenses, though there’s a difference in the general approach between Leica and Sony. Leica has more lenses produced to suit a body with a form factor like that, whereas Sony lenses have primarily been designed around a more traditional body.

@HectorHughMunro 8 месяцев назад

I very nearly bought it but didn’t. I went Fuji XH2 mostly on the viewfinder and the shutter noise. The shutter on the Sony is extremely loud and for street photography, I felt it would make me the centre of attention rather than blending in. The image quality of the Sony seems to be better as is the focussing but they’re both so good that it didn’t matter to me. If they do a stacked or global sensor in three years or so, the Sony might be viable for me.

@DustinAbbottTWI 8 месяцев назад

The shutter quality is nice on the X-H2 for sure. Sony is the better autofocus machine, and yes, Sony files continue to be easier to work with when it comes to sharpening.

@a_f2598 8 месяцев назад

two points of criticism i don´t really understand nowadays: * joystick: follow focus point in the center and recompose. much faster, much better. times have changed. * micro hdmi: you can record most material in body. no need of an external recorder (most of the time). if you want a larger monitor, you will rig up and have a cable clamp. otherwise you stay compact. there is only one thing: give those powerhorses a proper evf (and brighter screens). that´s it. the evf and the screen are the only bottlenecks for me.

@DustinAbbottTWI 8 месяцев назад

You can focus and recompose even if you have a joystick, so why not have it? I use the joystick more during menu navigation and sometimes for precision when moving a focus area. If you use AF-C (which I do), focus and recompose doesn't work as well, and also focus and recompose doesn't produce the best focus results when shooting at large apertures. On your second point, many video shooters use external recorders and monitors, and they typically hate the smaller micro HDMI port. It is a legitimate criticism. I agree on the EVF and LCD.

I would also wish for a joystick. I do not like the fully articulating back screen, it also makes the Camera thicker. Right now the prices of the A7CII and A7CR are higher than A7IV and A7RIVA ! The prices of the A7CII and A7CR have to be reduced a lot to be attractive.

@Vantrakter 8 месяцев назад

Yeah, the A7CII is priced higher than the A7iv here too (Sweden). As for a missing joystick I've heard of different strats to handle that. Lock-on af for one, so let it lock on to what you wish to focus on then reposition the camera rather than use your finger to move a spot around. Haven't had the opportunity to try it so couldn't say how it works

@Kevon420 8 месяцев назад

Meh, the screen doesn’t make the camera meaningfullythicker because it’s articulates the way it does. Unless we go back to completely fixed screens, the minor yet varying degree of bulk will always be there. The only camera I’ve used that has a truly flush but flip out screen is the X100V.

In the US the A7CII is cheaper than the A7IV. But, I do agree it’s a little over priced.

I've definitely heard that in some markets the prices are reversed. That also means that the price of the a7C2 will probably drop fast in those markets, as that has obviously been the case with the a7IV (which would have started with a higher MSRP than the a7C2)
