Why you should buy an A7ii (TWO) in 2020!

The mirrorless cameras equation in 2020 is this: budget + mirrorless + full-frame = Sony a7ii

If you have a bit more money, go ahead and spend it on something more powerful, but on a budget this camera is a no-brainer! Especially if you're buying used.

Just upload a recent JPEG (not RAW) photo taken from the camera.

Man, you've explained very well, and your calm voice makes this video more engaging!

My A7ii is arriving tomorrow! It's my first venture into mirrorless photography and I'm so excited. Also your videos are awesome and I'm subscribing!

I loved every bit of my A7 II. Currently on the A7R III and it’s been a well deserved upgrade but the A7 II was a great first step into the mirrorless full frame life

There's something about the way you talk that makes this video interesting... Subscribed

I recommend this camera too - bought it last November (new), after being disappointed with a Nikon dslr.... I use this camera for landscape photography mainly, and I am very happy with its performance.
Best value for money

I’ve had my a7ii for about a year now and it’s been everything I’ve needed to photograph camping, fly fishing trips, kids sports and days at the beach.

Just bought my a7ii today and looking up for guides on using the camera. I've learned something new today from your video. Thanks!

I have the A7ii. Only got it in September last year. It's superb at it's price. I'll upgrade to the a7iii at some point in future though as I'd really like 4k video but if you don't care about video this is a superb camera.

I was a previous owner of the A7R mark iii and I got it as a gift with sony’s 24-105 G OSS lens to use in coherent with 3D modeling. I lost all my stuff from a house break in, so I got this camera as a temporary backup (cheaper) while I build my pc again, but now I’m starting to enjoy this camera more than it’s big brother, it’s more than enough to suffice my needs. Thanks for video made me appreciate it more

I picked up one used with 1K clicks on it a few weeks back for $500, sold the 28-70 kit lens for $125 so now its my backup to the A7rii i use now for $375. 👍

Thanks for this, really nice video. You've got a great, relaxed, presentation style - a nice change from all the guys who think they have to be hyper to cut through. I just bought a used A7ii with a zeiss f4 24-70 lens, really looking forward to trying it out. Thanks.

I have the Sony a7ii and am really happy with it, the other thing ppl dont talk about is the mic and headphone Jack that also comes with it.

As someone who has owned one since 2016, used it pretty extensively, I have to say it is a great camera. It's not flawless, but it's really solid. Built is quite good, despite being an early version of IBIS the stabilisation is still very effective, and the sensor resolution is still very competitive. The A7III is a step up with shooting speed, autofocus and eye af, but if you aren't planning on shooting a lot of moving subjects, the A7II is a really nice option. ISO is clean up to 6400 where it starts to become noisy. I also think 24mp's is a good amount, i still crop in on photos, and my file sizes arent gigantic like on larger megapixel cameras (A7RIV for example has a file size of about 139mb per photo which is ludicrous). I shoot portraits and this camera is really nice, and despite the fact i plan on upgrading soon, im going to keep this camera as my back up body. If you're choosing between getting the a7ii and a lens, OR a newer camera body without a lens, I can confidently say you will be happier with the A7II, as these cameras need good glass to really get the most out of their sensors! For portraits, the samyang 85 1.4 umc is a nice budget option, produces pleasing results and is easily adapted onto this camera (another benefit of mirrorless).

I use my a7 ii for 3 years now and it's still absolutely amazing even when I'm not beginner now

[vgspotting]

Thx for giving the arguments i am gonna get this as my first camera in a few weeks cant wait

[MC-ykwl]

Great video!

I have mine for over a year now, switched from Canon 60D and that was a hyper jump 💫
With Canon I've been using 24105L on a daily basis as an enthusiast and family shooter with a neck pain 😉

Sony took me to the heavens with its IQ, ISO and dynamic range being able to "resurrect" dark photos.... and the lightness .
I agree with all your comments, IMO its a great money friendly camera especially if you are more towards photography.
I've been trying different lenses with my A7II, sony fe 24-240 (heavy beast), kit (ok''ish to start but definitely not enough for A7II capabilities), canon 24-105 L with arapter (IQ superb but heavy), Sony 50 1.8 (always good to have) and lastly zeiss 35 2.8 and the last one wins all way dawn. It's my never take off lens.
A7II with zeiss 35 2.8 is the best match ever. Set is so lightweight and compact that you can have it always with you, literally always.

My suggestion for all looking to change and are thinking about new camera. and the budget is not in your favour, take the A7II and buy some good lens for the rest of the money.
You can have both used a7ii + zs 35 2.8 for about 1200 eur and its still much cheaper than a7iii body only.
Don't afraid to have only 50 1.8 for the start, FF and nifty fifty will do the magic...

I have an a7ii, the main reason I bought it was how well it adapts vintage lenses. You can use cheap lenses that are very sharp for nearly nothing. The IBIS helps with stability and it has focus peaking and zoom. Currently all my lenses are manual focus. And I love it

[maricrisgallardo]

My husband bought me a7ii last week for my upcoming birthday and our anniversary.. i love it 😍😍😍😍

[joranvancoillie]

I still use the original Sony A7 from 2013 ;)

Great video man. You’re going to grow soon enough. Keep up the good work!
