Sony a7C II Review | The Perfect Travel Camera?

Sony have been very busy informative review on the a7c mk II Thanks Park Cameras.

Better hybrid ? This or a6700

I just bought a A7IV. I’m tempted to return it for this specificity for the smaller and lighter size.

The only bad thing in this camera is the shutter speed 1/4000. not bad but a limit

My question is that if I buy A7Cmark 2, will I be able to rely on the view finder to the point where I would not need to use LCD screen to make changes? I have hard time reading fine print from that close. If I need to use LCD, than I rather get ZVE1.

Great review thanks!

I just sold my Fuji XT4 (I loved) and Sony ZV1 (I hated) and have the a7Cii on order! Buying predominantly for vlogging and travel as my a7s3 (which is my main workhorse and I love to pieces) is just too heavy for me for vlogging and also very obvious with a top mic, it also just doesn’t cut it for photos on a travel trip where I only want to take a single cam.

Contemplated the a6700 because of form factor and 4K120, but didn’t want to have to buy new glass or make adjustments with my FF glass. A;so reviews have shown the 120 is a bit sketchy, so I’d rather avoid. Knew a7Cii was likely coming soon so held off!

I was holding on for the mark 2 as 4k30 on the original just wasn’t enough for me. I don’t use 4K 120 that often, only for work, where I will continue to use my a7s3 anyhow. Will miss the Fuji as I adored that camera for photography, but it just wasn’t viable for video, and so I was finding I was having to decide what to shoot more of before a trip. And I’m pretty hybrid with a little more weight on video.

I’m so looking forward to not having a giant camera and therefore having a camera on me more often.

The new ECM-M1 top mic looks fantastic too, I have the larger ECM-B1M Sony digital shotgun and it’s impeccable, but it doesn’t allow full directional rear pick up only, so I will likely buy the new one as it allows so many pick up patterns and will be incredible for vlogging.

Exciting times for Sony users!

Hey great video... Currently shooting Fuji..X-Pro2.. love it but its long in the tooth. Looking at the A7C II and the 24mm 1.4 GM for my street setup. Im a stills guy not so much Video but I want to try Sony and Full Frame. Your Thoghts?

Do you like the camera?

I hardly recognized you from old videos 😮

Getting back into photography, just bought a used Fuji X-E4 (for more than new, of course), and am having fun with it travelling, but I have to say this one is tempting... I just think I would feel weird walking around exotic places with a camera worth a local annual income, while I feel okay about the Fuji. Hypocritical? Anyone else hesitating to get cameras over two grand for travel photography?

I am selling my A7C to buy this upgraded version. Many improvements so thank you for the nice review!! 📸
