About 18 months ago I sold the two Sony body's I owned... A6400 and A7Riii. I was never impressed with the 6400 but the A7Riii produced great images. I took that body to Hawaii and captured some awesome pictures. That being said... did not like the headlining menu and was a chore to use. So I kept several Sony lens for some reason and been using mainly Canon ever since. I was watching a few YouTube videos on the new A7CII and A7CR. Decided to buy the A7CII and give it a try... so happy I did. This camera is 100% amazing and it is so small and so much easier to use that my old Sony camera's. Only wish is a joystick but the touch pad and the perfect autofocus makes up for this. Images are sooo good. I have just a few Sony lens and they are very sharp.

Also, Canon 16-35 L F4 looks great too. I am now going to sell some more of my old stuff and invest in the Sony 20-70 and what looks to be the amazing Sony 70-200 f4 ii. Between these two lens and this body... should be a perfect travel set up. Not leaving Canon but wow this is an amazing camera.

I’ve had this camera almost a week now and it’s been in my hands every day. I work with cameras and wanted a body that could make the most out of my Sony glass but was smaller and lighter than what I use professionally. I wanted something fun.So far, this camera has fit the bill. The tradeoffs (single card slot, smaller EVF, lower frame rate) don’t bother me in practice, and I find myself actually carrying the camera with me more often.This wouldn’t be my go-to camera for professional video, sports, wedding coverage, but it’ll do the job in a pinch. The image quality and auto focus are top-notch and the control layout is smart and effective.Great balance of size, features, price and design. No excuses not to have this camera with you.

I was a little skeptical of getting this camera but after seeing some rave reviews I decided to order it. My first impression was how little this camera felt but had a slight weight to it and the body has gained a little bulk which is nice. I had to study the features for about a couple of days before I was confident in using this camera. The menu system is quite improved from my older A6500, or A7r2 and the battery is bulkier and longer lasting. The viewfinder seems ok though many have said they didn't like it but it seems bright and large enough for my eyes. When holding it my little pinky needs a little support so I'm getting a grip extension which is available everywhere. The first set of photos I took look spectacular, very sharp images right off the bat.

The first set of photos I took look spectacular, very sharp images right off the bat. I believe its going to be my go to camera when traveling as it doesn't take up too much real estate. The only time it will be awkward is when using larger lenses but its a give and take at best and shouldn't hold me back. I've sold the A6500 and will be selling my A7r2 also and getting the A7r5 as my primary camera. Also the autofocus is much,much improved and you can almost not take a sharp picture when doing it right. I'm very happy with this camera and can't wait to take it out again! Sony has done it again! Also getting it from B&H was a nice experience, no drama, arrived quickly and everything went smoothly.
I had high hopes about using this as an always with me compact camera, but with a full-frame sensor. Unfortunately, it didn't quite work out.First and foremost, this camera isn't really all that compact. I own a A7RII and when you put these two cameras side by side, the only material difference between the two is that the A7C doesn't have a viewfinder. That's it. The grip is just slightly smaller and not enough to notice an difference. The height is the same (save the viewfinder) and depth and width are the same.So it begs the question, why not use the same sensor that's in the A7RII or III in it? Did they do that so it wouldn't infringe on the RX1R, even though thats a fixed-lens camera? Its unfortunate because it basically leaves Leica as the only real maker ... MoreI had high hopes about using this as an always with me compact camera, but with a full-frame sensor.

Its unfortunate because it basically leaves Leica as the only real maker of compact full frame cameras.If it had the 47 or 60 mp sensor in it, I absolutely would have kept it. Thats even despite the fact that the number of reasonably fast compact Sony lenses for it is exactly 3. I might have reconsidered if there was a f1.4 or f1.7 24mm, f28mm, or 35mm lens...Hoping there actually is a A7C II and they use at least the 47mp from the AR7III.
Have had the Sony bravia a year now and can honestly say it's the most disappointing Sony product I have ever owned and the worst tv. My 8 year old samsung is more stable and is easier to use. It never crashes and I never have to reset it.Initially, instore I thought the picture quality was better compared to the other tvs, had a clearer image, deeper tones and darker dark areas. Once home though I noticed that the google aspect is just a gimmick. The OS is really flakey, constantly having to reset the system, apps don't load properly, sound keeps lowering and becoming crackly. The apps like itv are not up to date like my old Samsung tv, they don't show live content. Casting to the device is slow with constant breaks in connectivity.

The apps like itv are not up to date like my old Samsung tv, they don't show live content. Casting to the device is slow with constant breaks in connectivity. Sound quality is poor as standard.The tv is cheap looking and the controller feels cheap in the hand too. Settings are poor, there isn't much to toggle with to set up to your preferences. Everything is very limited including sound settings. The sound is very flat and doesn't have the lovely deap surround sound of their stereos or the 12 year bravia I had which was 32 inches and far better than this tv. Although at the time wasn't smart but this isn't really either. The initial desktop you are shown once loaded is muddled and shows nothing of relevance. Menus are bloated not easily accessible. It needs to be more Google and it's not. Sony have just used the name and the search function but that's it. The tv has gotten worse with age and after only a year airways feels like it's going to crash.Have called Sony many times, initially they were helpful but with persistent problems have just started playing the usual game of fobbing me off. Their answer to my issues is to keep resetting the tv to factory settings or update to latest system even though it is already and have supplied the evidence. They said they would send an engineer but now not interested in helping.
This is my first Sony camera. I sold my 15 year old APS-C Nikon DSLR and then bought this camera. By going to a mirrorless camera, I now have a smaller, lighter camera, with a much larger sensor. Mostly I shoot pictures of my kids, nature, etc. I’m not a professional and I’m sure a professional would not find this camera as capable as the A7iv or other more powerful (and expensive) bodies.There are several things I’ve noticed about this camera:1. Autofocus seems great. It’s definitely a step up from what I had before. It picks up my kids faces well and can track them as they run around.2. Even with 33 MP images, the camera can rattle off a series of fast shots without any issue.3. There’s many ways to change the same settings.

Even with 33 MP images, the camera can rattle off a series of fast shots without any issue.3. There’s many ways to change the same settings. It’s great that there’s a touchscreen, a function menu, custom buttons, custom menus, and then the full settings. There are so many settings that it can be overwhelming, but it’s great that you can put the ones you want within reach.4. The back screen as a touchscreen is great, but the quality of the screen is underwhelming.5. Having an electronic viewfinder is great, especially when you can see a preview of captured images right in the viewfinder. It’s not the biggest viewfinder, but it seems big enough to be effective and usable.6. There are plenty of dials. I love that I can put shutter speed on a back dial, aperture on the front, and ISO on yet another back dial.7. There’s a lot of settings and the manual doesn’t really explain them well. I’m trying to learn as much as I can to make full use of the features, but it’s a challenge.8. Apple doesn’t yet support the RAW format for these cameras. I’m mostly using Lightroom, so this isn’t a huge issue.
I bought the original A7C back in 2021. It was one of the best investments I made in my life. At the time I had one YouTube channel that I was trying to grow. And after upgrading my gear from an iPhone to an actual full frame mirrorless camera, I started seeing results and my audience was appreciating the bump in quality. Fast forward to 2023, the A7C has served me over and beyond. But in this time, I’ve also come to realize it’s short comings..Which brings me to my brand new purchase the A7C II, it has all the upgrades I wanted and needed!-AI chip/AI autofocus-10 bit 4:2:2-Mode dial from photo to video-Better grip-Better viewfinderUpgraded menu systemThese all sound good on paper, but in real life how is it?

I really wanted to love this camera, but the lack of one single feature ruined this camera for me. Yes, I will drop my rating to a single star because of the lack of one single feature... but I feel that I am justified: There is no shutter release port on this camera, and although that may sound trivial, consider the consequences -- this camera's shutter cannot be controlled by any other devices that use a wired shutter control including sliders, jibs, pan heads, pluto trigger, arsenal, edelkrone, and my main beef: star trackers! Yes, I know it is a small niche genre, but a lightweight full frame camera is ideal for astrophotographers, and all the specs of this camera are great!

Yes, I know it is a small niche genre, but a lightweight full frame camera is ideal for astrophotographers, and all the specs of this camera are great! I have taken several amazing photographs of the night sky with this camera... BUT, and buyer-be-ware, the lack of and automated shutter control from a device like a star tracker may mean that I had to stay up all night in the freezing cold while baby sitting this camera for each and ever single image I took. The interval shoot feature is kind of a work around, but 30 seconds is the maximum exposure you will be able to take, and the camera will not be in sync with the star tracker. So, you will have higher ISO, lower dynamic range, and you should learn to embrace the frostbite while you are using a bluetooth remote (the only way to control the shutter for long exposures) for those 3 and 4 minute exposures. That doesn't sound too bad, right? Wrong! Let's say you want to do multi row panoramas of the night sky... or do a timelapse with camera movement (like with an edelkrone headone, or slider unit, or move shoot move unit, etc.). There is no conceivable way to automate these with another device and have it be in sync, so you will have to start the exposure, set a timer, wait for the timer, remember to end the exposure when the timer goes off, recompose your shot, and do it all over again... and again... and again... while every other camera on the market has the ability to have all of this fully automated by the accessory device (star trackers and many many other accessory devices). Also the USB-C port does not have the capability of pairing with a 2.5mm (SNAP) port as it is a communication port, not a normally open shutter circuit controlled by an on/off switch. You would think that Sony would have designated 2 of the USB terminals for shutter control (like they did with other alpha 7 cameras), but you would be dead wrong. In their infinite wisdom they decided that and HDMI and microphone port were essential, and that a shutter port was entirely unnecessary. As of writing this, nobody makes an adapter for a wired shutter controll like a 2.5mm SNAP port to a bluetooth controller... even 2 years after this camera's release. If you want to control this camera with any other device, then you will be sorely disappointed. If you don't mind the babysitting, frostbitten fingers, and all the limitations that come with not being able to use accessory devices with shutter control, then you will love it!
There are plenty of reviews already that cover all technical details. I will limit this review only to my (limited) comparison of Sony A7Cii with Nikon Z6ii. I took over a 1000 side by side pictures with both to better understand what cameras do right or wrong.First, obvious thing. Sony AF is much better, especially when aided by subject recognition. Though I found that the only focusing mode really usable is AFC with center point tracking. Nikon AF modes are more convenient, tracking can be enabled with a button in AFC or AFS. Sony tracking is more sticky.Sony has an excellent pixel resolution due to weak AA filter, better than Z6ii. That also means Sony is prone to moire when subjects have high frequency patterns. It happens more often than I would like.Sony ... MoreThere are plenty of reviews already that cover all technical details.

It happens more often than I would like.Sony still struggles with colors. I'm always using RAW processing in LR. In particular orange skin is still a problem. But unlike the previous models I found it wasn't hard to fix it in LR. Nikon is mostly looking just right, no correction necessary.Sony AWB is a weak point. Both cameras were set on AWB-White. Still Sony almost always resulted in too warm WB. In daylight that wasn't a big problem as it was pretty consistently slightly warmer than ideal. But in CFL, incandescent, LED, mixed lights Sony AWB was very flaky. It could drastically change between two pictures taken at same time at the same place. It can be fixed in LR, but it's a lot of work if you need to process 1000 pictures. Nikon was pretty consistent and rarely required WB adjustment.Similar things I observed with light metering. Sony practically always underexposes using evaluative metering. It wouldn't be bad if it were consistent, but unfortunately every picture requires its own correction, sometimes as much a stop or two.Bottom line, Sony A7Cii is a very capable camera, producing excellent pictures, but it requires a lot more post-processing efforts than Nikon.
