Tony, just wanted to give a huge "thank you" for this video. I'm borrowing a friend's a7 and this is the first legit camera I've ever touched. The lens on the camera is an adapted Nikon 35mm f/2D, so not all of Sony's functionality is available. Even still, this video has helped me a TON to figure out some of the basics of photography. I'm trying to decide between an a6500 and something like an 80D or T6i, so hands-on experience is great, and you're helping me not waste my time with the camera.

Hi T, sincerely, thank you and Chelsea. I've learned so much, from my first full frame (6d) to my present one (a7rii). When I started I followed your advice to invest in lenses, I wound up buying Canon 24-70 & 70-200 L's and now I own those plus a couple primes (a zeiss f4 16-35, and Canon 50 1.8). I've thoroughly enjoyed all. And on that note, and on the off chance someone is still reading this, T&C do a great job reminding folks to have fun within their means. All is much appreciated. After watching y'all for a year I've finally purchased your books this morning, will review after I've read. Have a good'n👍

Many of these menu items and concepts actually cross over into the later "A" mount camera menus, like my old A-77II. Very well done! I will be watching it several more times, until I know it all by heart! PS - for many years I did not know "ISO" was actually a word, not an acronym.

Nice job putting out a concise and well thought out a7ii tutorial. Its mid February 2021 and the price of this camera body w zoom lens and other junk has dropped to under a grand. Im not sure how much longer Sony will sell this ageing model. However, buying a well made, full frame body with a decent auto/anti-vibration zoom lens, for this price, is amazing. Not to mention having the ability to use older, cheap 35mm film lenses. (From any manufacturer) Well... it's just a crazy good deal! I'm sure your going to get a lot of additional views on this video and you should. Great Job!!!

I have just graduated to my first full frame camera, the A7 ii, from traditional Panasonic Superzooms, which are good. I took it out of the box and was totally bewildered at all of the controls on the A7 ii. Finding your video has been fantastic, because it helped me find the shooting modes and settings, that I usually used on my Panasonic. One problem, this A7, just while following you on the video, my battery drain has been significant. I normally with the Panasonic can get at least 350 photos. I figured out how to cut off the monitor on the A7 (I've always preferred the viewfinder only), and the cut off the auto pre-focus. What other setting can I cut off, that is absolutely not necessary for most of the photos I would take. NOTE: I do outdoor landscaping and skylines 90% of the time. Also note that you say you primarily use the top focus area. I was always taught to use the center weighted focus (the 3rd one down). Advantages or disadvantages?
