I have just gone back to carrying an actual camera. Is it a direct replacement? No, but if your main goal is to take pics, a 15 year old mirrorless or DSLR will take better pics. My sony A7ii (which can be found used for cheap) takes massively better pics. These days I carry a Nikon Zf with a small

Hey. Da du eine Sony hast, bleibt doch bei Sony. So kann sie auch deine Objektive nutzen. Eine A7II wäre eine „günstige“ alternative, oder auf APSC eine von einer a6000 bis a6400 ist der Preis nicht so hoch und die Menüführung kennt sie dann ja schon. An den Crop gewöhnt sie sich auch.

I have beaten this drum to death by now but I went A7R2 -> Z7II w/Viltrox E-Z for about 4 months. Mid June sold the Z7II for a Z8. I shared your sentiment for disdain towards spending a metric ton just to shoot decent FPS on Sony, not to mention CFe A vs B. Ultimately it was a mix of that, having to

Sony A7ii should be in your budget. Has decent focus aids and pretty effective IBIS, and it's easy to find in good condition.

Wenn du die Fotos bearbeitest sind die Sony Farben wieder irrelevant, hier würde sogar einmal in LR exportieren, Adobe Color Profil drauf und exportieren reichen. Dann hättest du den großen Vorteil alles in einem System zu haben, du brauchst also nur den Body und kannst deine Objektive weiter benutz

If you alreayd bought it, it's totally fine for a beginner. You really don't need full-frame though. An APSC camera like the Sony a6400 will be newer and you'll have access to a lot more lenses at a cheaper price. When I decided I wanted a full frame camera, I really wanted the Sony A7III but it's d

I don't plan on upgrading from my Sony a7iv. I upgraded to it from the a6000, and instead of getting an a7, a7ii or a7iii and maybe needing to upgrade again, I went straight to the newest model at the time so that I don't need to upgrade again. This'll last for another 10 years easily and I don't ne

It all depends on your budget for lenses and what you want to shoot. I have shot and owned APSC, full frame and recently started dipping my toe into the m4/3 with OM. Think about what you want to shoot and what lenses you think you’ll need. I know this can be hard when you’re stargin out. Full frame

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
