Alpha 7C

Definitely notice this, I think on the Sony side there's sometimes a fair bit of sunk cost fallacy (or sponsorships) making them defensive to where they feel the need to nitpick and downplay positives in other systems to justify their decisions (nobody is asking them to do so though). Blind brand lo

I estimate it wouldn’t sell. At given Ricoh pricing, they would have to compete with the Sony A7c II and A6700 and some Fujis, the Sonys have way better AF and an arsenal of lenses to choose from. As product managers use to say:”Never listen to enthusiasts if you don’t wanna go broke”.😎

So long as they knew what they were doing, there wasn’t a need for a camera upgrade. Having said that, Sony’s autofocus is unbeatable. I haven’t once had a shot out of focus because it always knows what I want to shoot. My A7C is the only camera I’ve always left in autofocus mode and never worried.

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 do genuinely understand some of the criticism; people want a M4/3 camera with all the bells and whistles, that looks stylish, and is something that they can just have in a pocket when they're put and about. I get that; I'd love that myself. But this thing is honestly about as close as you'd get to

If you want a more compact setup, need more reach (wildlife, birding), plan to shoot video or use third-party strobes - get A6700. It's arguably the best APS-C on the market, and it is great. The sensor readout speed is amazing for video, and it has a proper full-mechanical shutter so you won't have

I used both and now have sony a7cii + lumix s9 Do you do pro videography? If not, 8 bit is more than fine and I'd tell you to go for the a7c The s5 is a major downgrade in AF, the s9 AF is still worse than the sony (but good overall) but the build quality feels super cheap and then as you said, no e

My advice for any photographer would be to invest more in lenses than the camera body. A camera body will go out of date and depreciate eventually, but a well maintained lens will last you much longer. I assume you're referring to the A7 mark4. It's a good camera. Also consider the A7C mark 2. Which

I used Sony for years. Never liked editing but just accepted it as a tradeoff for autofocus. I used the A7C and A7Rii. Loved them both, but just did not want to edit anymore. I picked up an X-E1 just to "see," you know? Within a year I had jumped around and settled on a 12 year old M240. What I saw

i've used the 17U for a few days, didn't like it. I didn't have the photography kit tho since it was my friend's phone. Your points are fair as well, we just value different things. And yeah, i would love for them to shove the sensor of actual cameras (maybe the one on my a7c ii, just for the memes?
