I had the A7Cii and now have the A7CR. I moved over from Nikon Z6 for the autofocus and resolution. I tried the ZF first and didn’t like the ergonomics.

I actually considered a Sony A7CII/A7CR at first. But checked one out in store and really didn’t like it. I’m also not a fan of EVFs, and the ones on those are particularly underwhelming. That said, Sony autofocus and the video capability are still tempting, so I haven’t 100% ruled it out. Funny, I
