Right, as a fellow Sony 20-70 f/4 owner and M43 shooter, let me share my thoughts… I own the Sony A7C (so, a step up from your A7II) along with the 20-70 f/4, plus a few other lenses. I also have an OM-5 paired with the 12-45 f/4 Pro. When I bought the Sony 20-70 f/4, my intention was to replace the

i shot on an a7ii for years and low light was always a battle. the sensor just gets noisy fast. the best advice i can give is to expose to the right (ETTR) without clipping, even if it looks bright on the crappy LCD. having a decent external monitor with false color or waveforms helps immensely with

Well, as said, it’s not that the first gen A7 is inherently bad with AF, it’s definetly way under the later versions (th A7II is a BOG upgrade in that compartment). Is a really different way of shooting than a DSLR and needs some getting used to. IMHO, if I were to go on a lighter everyday carry, I

It was my first time taking pictures with an actual camera at night and it was freezing so I couldn’t play around with my settings as much as I wanted but I’m happy with it how they came out, I’m definitely coming back to this spot when I get my skills up. Any tips on low light settings would be app

I thought that my Sony a7II in crop mode would function just like my Sony a6000, but then I found out that it basically crops out part of the resolution, whereas the a6000 has the same resolution but confined to a smaller sensor. I honestly thought I would be selling the a6000 once I upgraded to the

I’d recommend looking into the Sony A7 platform. I have been using the original A7 since 2017 and it’s been great. I also do a lot of car photography and low light and the A7 really shines in low light conditions. Just looked on B&H and their used department has a few A7 and A7II for around $600-700

Potential disappointments with the GX7: EVF is tiny, is 16x9 aspect ratio, and uses a technology called field sequential LCD (look it up) which a small number of people are sensitive enough to they get physically nauseated when using it. Others are fine. You won't know until you try it yourself. (Sa

Depends on the condition of the camera - if it is in excellent condition then that is about what they sell for. The value of the A7ii swings up and down -- it was released 11 years ago. I have an A7II, amongst other cameras. If I were starting all over again then I'd have a good look at the Nikon Z6

idk a ton about cameras, but the Sony Alpha A7II is pretty decent for real estate photography, especially if u can get it cheap. Full-frame sensors are nice for capturing good detail and low light. As for lenses, a wide-angle lens like a 16-35mm can help make small spaces look bigger, which is super

Tienes que pensar que es lo que necesitas realmente. Por ejemplo la a6400 graba en 4k, tiene mayor ISO, mayor velocidad de rafaga, tiene flash, mas bateria, y pesa menos. Pero la Sony a7ii solo graba en full hd, pero por ejemplo aguanta a salpicaduras, y tiene mayor tamaño de sensor, estabilizador d
