You are an excellent and rare teacher! This video is full of useful information that a new A7C owner needs to know. You also provide many insights about the features, i.e. why a feature should be turned on or off. Thanks so much for your time and effort to put together the video.

[rosaannang]

Thank you for taking your time to explain in detail. This is so informative and VALUABLE!!

Thank you for not shouting or speeding up your speech or using dramatic angles every two seconds.

People think long form content is dead but if you provide value people will watch movie length videos.

Best explanation video on Sony a7C on Youtube.

[niels_]

That´s probably the longest Youtube Video i´ve ever seen completely, and it was really full of information. I understand my new camera better than before. Thanks for the effort!

[thomasmueller]

Really exceptionally well explained! This tutorial taught me just about everything I need to know about my new Sony A7C, and put my wife to sleep while watching with me. It can't get any better than this!

[hoppingtrails]

This is what I wanted transitioning from a 14 year old nikon to a7c. thanks a lot.

[subodhraje]

Bought this recently as I switched from Nikon to Sony. What a amazing job you have done explaining everything in details. A big Thanks !!

[kernelcaptinn]

Thanks for making this video! Great information, great organization and your voice makes it easy to listen follow along.

[michaelpicardal]

i just bought this; it is helping me get oriented as there is a lot of functionality on it (and the PDF documentation on it is huge)...thank you for doing it

[RyanTheShortRTS]

Thank you so much. Just got this camera yesterday and was feeling lost on how to use it. But now I feel confident and knowledgeable about each feature.

Came here for the A7C beginner guide, staying for everything else!

[vivlund]

Thanks for this video - just got the a7c and was intimidated by all the settings- bought a book but was able to watch this video while walking my dogs instead!! Subscribed!!

[wave-films]

This is a seriously amazing comprehensive tutorial! You just got yourself a major fan!!!

[chrislaidlaw]

absolute legend mate, i really enjoyed leaning from you. Definitely made me feel right at home and i'll be watching the more experienced tutorials when i get better!

[salmaben]

Thank you so much! i just got the A7c but it's in japanese and cannot be changed, so this was a huge help. I like how you're also explaining in such details!

[CarStomIt]

wow this tutorial is amazing. I love it. I am saving your video. and I will be going back to it a lot. Thanks man.

[rajendra.kodumuri]

I rarely interact with the buttons (like, comment, and subscribe) on YouTube. I watched this and I immediately clicked all three as I wrote this.

This is an amazing video, I'm so glad you took the time to make it. I'm new to the world of cameras, and am looking to get one; not only did this get me familiar with this camera, it got me in touch with a lot of the photography tech/terminology in general. I appreciate your effort so much!

[RamaswamiLakshman]

Thank you. This is super helpful video. Did not get an easy to read manual from Sony. I am sure this video will be a resource I will return to as i familiarise with my camera.

[TroupeGoal]

Handy video, exciting to watch while waiting for mine to arrive!

[TraversyMedia]

I just ordered this camera. Excellet tutorial! thanks
