Thanks for the video! I’m really planning on getting an A7ii in addition the a6400 i already have which is great for video! I rented an A7ii for a gig i had last year and i really enjoyed it. I’ve been shooting for a couple years & I can tell the difference in images between full frame and apsc. A7iii is literally twice the price so A7ii works for me. I just wrote more than i meant to lol but thanks for the video and I’m a new subscriber now 👍🏾

That woodworking analogy got a sub out of me. What a wonderful way of looking at things.

My A7ii sits next to me almost anywhere around the house because I love it as a product so much. I'll pick it up as much as possible so I feel exactly the way you do about it!

The Best review of sony a7 ii. This words I wanted to hear and clear some question.

"Everytime i see this camera it makes me wanna go out"

Oh man, I know that feeling... Me and my wife like travelling but we don't travel as much these days cos of our work.

Having a camera just gives you that time and connection again, I just started my passion for photography a couple of weeks ago and it really makes you get out there and do something productive.

My heart smiled when you mentioned the 28-75 2.8 🥲🥲 literally just got the a7ii with that lens.. yh in 2021. Works like a charm

Been watching a bunch of videos on this camera as I wait for mine to arrive in the mail. Yours was the best in terms of the way I think of things and a wonderful outlook on photography.

The best thing for me about moving to a FF body like the A7ii from APS-C was not the usual stuff about the DOF, better low light and all the things you hear on the internet. It was that FF cameras are pro bodies, and that never becomes outdated.


With the A7ii, you have three dials for exposure; shutter, aperture and exposure compensation. Put the ISO into AUTO (so the Exposure comp dial is now a -3 to +3 offset from ‘computed ISO’) and the camera into MANUAL and you have full creative control of the exposure triangle via those three dials; one per corner of the triangle (and you still have full AF).

You can’t do manual exposure as well on an A6xxx or the A7C because they are simply not designed as pro bodies (they assume the user will not miss fast and ergonomic controls for MANUAL and so cheap out on the controls).
I used to think shutter or aperture priority were the best modes, but the mode just described above is far better than either. It’s the mode that really lets you explore photography rather than just ‘’shooting snaps’!

Finally worth noting that high ISO sensitivity in modern cameras is not about 'being able to take photos of black cats on dark nights'; its about being able to leave ISO in auto (and forgetting about it) as part of the above.

1:36 “Part of me loves the simplicity of the a7ii here” ... Me: “That’s a waffle”

I just picked this camera up after upgrading from a Canon Rebel T3i and I’m so glad I came across this video. Also I’ve created such amazing work with my Rebel and I’m so excited to do more work with this.

[MichaelRBlair]

I love the A7ii. I bought it this year as an upgrade from my old entry level Nikon D3300 and it has been worth every penny. I also bought the Tamron 28-75 and it is an amazing lens for the price. If you are on a budget and want full frame, you cannot go wrong with the A7ii. Thanks for the video

[tinanoelle]

i love my sony a7 ii def a life changer !!

[blacksnowflake]

I just bought it, can't wait to use it!!

[SevenSeptVII]

Thank you for this video. I’m getting into photography and have been eyeing the A7 II. You’ve just told me everything I need/wanted to hear. Here’s to what I hope is a fun and rewarding hobby, and potentially a new line of work lol

[smalltalk.productions]
