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 disagree. The Sony Alpha A7II shoots bracket photos, has 24 MP and is full-frame. It'll work great with the right lens. No 4K video, but that's not what OP asked.

There’s a big difference in the ‘look’ between Zeiss Loxia and Sony G Master lenses. Unlike the earlier Carl Zeiss lenses for Sony Alpha, the G Master lenses have zero Carl Zeiss involvement. Let there be no confusion here - G Master is a 100% Sony product and 0% Carl Zeiss. I agree with the OP that

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

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

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

Yes, to Lumix. I switched from an A7RIII to an S5 then an S1 and now a G9 with Leica lenses. Regret it massively but kept convincing myself it was fine. The G9 is good but I always miss full frame and the autofocus of the alpha lineup. I'm actually downgrading back to a nearly new A7II until I can a

For your use you could save by buying older - sony A7 on , full-frame, A7ii , ibis . Sony nex have 1.5x crop but you could get a speed-booster ~$80 ?? Some newer cams have been on sale at budget - RP .

Not exactly familiar with all your candidates, but as a Canon dslr to Sony A7ii user, the S5ii won't disappoint in the slightest. Better body than the Sony. L mount glass is excellent (more affordable than you say imo) plus has adapter options. Probably just plan on investing in L mount and even Lum
