Alpha 7 II

The OP makes some valid points. However, it’s never going to be valid to compare a handmade Leica M body to a mass-produced DSLR or mirrorless camera. There will always be something out there that is mass-produced with a better sensor for less money than the latest handmade M. So don’t even try to j

So a lot of folks have talked about color science not being a "thing" or that you can always fix the colors in post. This may be a hot take for this sub but I have switched systems multiple times because of color science and it absolutely makes a difference. When you're shooting people and the color

Setting up macro photography IS fiddly. Also how much better it will be than a good scanner will depend on many variables - just to name a few the lens, the stand, how stable your table is, how sensitive the floor is to vibrations and most importantly how patient and careful you are when setting up.

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

My first real camera was the Nikon d5200 and it’s an amazing camera. I bought it 10 years ago brand new in box for $300. It was on clearance at PC Richards. I got a 50mm and a sigma zoom lens…regret selling it few years back to get a Sony a7ii. But solve the Nikon and will use another one soon as th

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

I had the xt3 and xpro2. The zf really nails it for me. Allows me to enjoy a retro design with physical sails, that is also very capable and can be set up to be used like a modern psam. The Nikon community has created some great recipes as well that I love to use got daily life photos cuz I don’t li

Moire shows up now and then on my Lumix cameras, but it’s not just a Lumix issue. I saw moire back when I shot on Sony. I’ve owned the Sony A7SII, A7II, A7RII, A7III, and A7IV, and they all had minor moire problems as well. There are third-party fixes like the Kolari OLPF clip-in filter, but honestl

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

The Sony A99ii is 10 years old and is more expensive then a Sony A7ii and even some A7iii in the used market it sucks I hope it goes below $1500 one day.
