I preordered the A7Cii, canceled, and bought a A7c and spent the difference on 4 lenses. 24mm G, 40mm G, 75mm 1.8 Sigma, and 50mm 0.95 TTArtisan. I'm just a hobbiest and this setup was much more reasonable for my uses.

I decided to purchase a Sony A7C in 2024. I’m not waiting a year for delivery of a Fuji X100VI. The Panasonic S9 missed the mark for me as a photographer. The A7C with the 35/2.8 is a cheaper full frame X100VI. I am a street photographer so I value small and lightweight. I am shocked. I watched a Professor Hines and Carty about the Sony 85/1.8 and bought one. It is just about at the limit for size and weight for the A7C. I’m not used to using a long lens like this. I will have to get use to this focal length and size. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

i am about to buy a camera, I try to decide among sony a6700, fuji xs-20, canon r6 mark 2 and sony a7c. Do you think going full frame worths it compared to an aspc? or maybe waiting for a7V so that a7IV will get a discount? for canon there is this recent 24-105 mm f2.8 lens. also for the last note: I will probably try to buy the 24-70 mm and, then after a year or so, the 70-200 mm f2.8 lense to cover most focal points. I can get the fuji xs20 and the first 16-55 mm (equal to 24-70 mm on full frame) f2.8 lens directly on the first buy (without getting a kit lens) so it might be more logical to arrive at the final acquirement of the lenses.

I use the original A7C and I think it's a great camera. For most of photography styles it's more than enough. The sensor is fantastic, the AF is great, and the small body just let's me be more agile and inconspicuous. The only downside for some people would be the one card slot, which was not updated on the newer models. I personally never had an SD card fail on me, so yeah. I do more photo than video, but the videos coming out of the camera are also great. If you expose and light properly you are not going to run into the 8bit limitations. I think it only shows it's weakness in poorly lit scenarios, where you can see the grain and tearing of the shadows in slog2. In those cases it's better to use Cine4, as it's usually a low dynamic range situation, and you are not getting any more information from the log footage. So yeah, I completely agree with this video. It's better to get this camera, and a good lens, with some pocket change to go out and shoot, than to dump all your money on a more expensive camera

Been watching this video multiple times to talk myself out of buying the new A7Cii! As a enthusiastic beginner buying the A7C is way more sensable. Would you recommend me to first buy a prime lens like the 40mm f2.5 g or a zoom like 24-105 f4. Can buy both though, will be doing street and travel mainly, perhaps other recommendations? Love to hear you actually recommend cheaper/more sensable options unlike most channels nowadays!

The 24-105 is a bit large on the A7C honestly. The 40mm 2.5 is one of the best lenses you throw on the A7C so it’s hard not to recommend that. If I was in your shoes, with the knowledge I have now, I would choose the 35mm 1.8 (so you have a good lens for lowlight at a versatile focal length) and get the 28-60 kit lens.

hi there; for 90% of photos, i can suggest 24-70 mm f2.8 zoom lens. second one might be 70-200 mm f2.8 for wedding photography. 50 mm prime lens with 1.2 or 1.4 aperture to get photos as the same as a human sees the subject less than 24 mm focal lenght might be good for astro photography to take pictures of the stars in the space in the night.

In 2021 I bought my A7c with money I saved while working my apprenteniceship as an audiovisual mediadesigner. (1.400€ nearly new on ebay) On paper this wasn't a great idea, since I used all my savings, but I really wanted to step up my video & photography skill while I was studing. (and I knew in the worst case my parents would help me out). After owning it nearly 2 years now I think this was the best decision I made. It had all I wanted: e-mount, fullframe, flipscreen. With the Smallrig 3212B Cage it fits so well in my hands it's crazy. everytime I pick it up i want to shot something. (must buy imo)
