Alpha 1 II

A Sony A1ii isn’t really a “little camera.” There’s expensive rabbit hole to go down to get nice hummingbird pics.

Lmao you can’t be serious. A7RV bundled with 28-70 f/2.8 gmii from B&H: $5746 A Leica M11, the fcking base model, is $9840. A 50mm Summicron ASPH is $9945. You can get a pro grade Sony with a pro lens for less than half the cost of a Leica body or a prime Leica aspherical lens. The value proposition

they are different tools, the z8 can shoot much faster, has some specific wildlife modes in its af and the faster sensor allows for better video. so for wildlife the z8 is better since that is what its designed for, the telephoto lenses on z mount is also a bonus. on the other hand the a7rV has a hi

For sure. But that kind of gets at why I want to switch. On Sony, to get more than 10 fps, you need to get an A1 or an A9. An A9 III is over $5000 used, and with the A9 line, you only get 24MP. The A1 is $3700 used and the A1 II is well over $6000. You can get the Z8 for $2700 used, which is the cur

If you're already in the Sony ecosystem, why not just get an A9 III? It's a global shutter and it will work with all of the glass you already use on the A1 and I'm assuming it has fantastic autofocus like the rest of Sony's stuff. It's expensive, but not really any more so than an A1 II or Komodo-X.

You need better skill, gear, and flash before you offer to shoot a wedding by yourself. I'm not saying a brand new Sony A1 II but at least a used pro model like a 5D Mark III and whichever 70-200mm f/2.8 you can afford. And flash! You only survived your last wedding because you shot in blazing sunli

Well, you said the purpose was to split hair so I answered. One could also say the Z8 is only marginally better than the Z6 III for twice the price, and actually has a worse IBIS and EVF. The Z8 has 2 different slots, one takes CF, the other takes SD. The Z9 has 2 CF-only slots. Sony has hybrid slot

It’s not stated in your list - but if you’re really after performance in the tier of the Sony A1 ii then I would recommend considering the Canon R5 mk 2 and use EF glass for a 400 f2.8 or a 500/600 f4. I would still definitely consider the Sony A1 ii to be among the most elite AF performance out the

Sony A1 II paired with the 400-800 G @ 400 f/6.3 iso 640 1/4000, it's a hell of a setup, only had the lens for a couple of weeks but it's becoming my favorite, definitely sharper than the 200-600!
