Would Sony a7ii be a wise choice or a waste of money? Hey everyone, I currently shoot with a Nikon D610 and mostly shoot small gig/concerts which tend to have pretty poor lightning. I don’t use a flash for these gigs but I am struggling with the lack of focus points on my Nikon. I’ve seen that the a7ii has 117 focus points whereas the Nikon only has 39. Would it be worth upgrading (if you could cal…

What’s the best aftermarket battery value for a Sony a7ii? I bought one years ago that, while cheap, didn’t support the info lithium battery gauge and didn’t last as long as the oem Sony battery. Which aftermarket battery brand have you found to be long-lasting, dependable (even in cold weather) and reasonably-priced? submitted by /u/rowyourboat72

Talk me out of, or in to, trading my Sony A7ii for a Nikon Zf? Some basics first – I am not a professional, photography for me is one of my primary hobbies. I shoot both digital and film, the chief reasons why I got the A7ii were that I was able to easily adapt and use my manual focus glass on it, that it had In-Body-Image-Stabilization, and that other than the up front cost of the camera body, that I didn’…

Upgrade from Sony A7ii – advice needed? I currently have an A7ii and I am looking for an upgrade as I’m getting more serious with photography and paid work. The obvious 2 I have been looking at is the A7IV and the A7RV. I plan to sell prints in the future, would the A7IV be enough for print size A0 or larger? I know glass matters as well. The type of work I’m currently doing is rea…

Is A7II worth it in 2023. I’m an amateur photographer from India. I’m interested in shooting landscapes and architecture. I currently use an 8 year old canon 700d. I wanted to upgrade to full frame for the longest time. I was exploring entry level full frame cameras (Eos R8/A7III)(~1800 USD) when I came across A7II being sold for ₹70k (850 USD). Would I be better off pur…

Canon 80d or sony a7ii Hi everyone Considering my budget is around 1500 euros should i buy a canon 80d or a sony a7ii? With the 80d and the budget i have i could buy a few lenses (a 50mm, a sigma 24-70mm f2.8, a 55-250mm, and maybe a 24mm pancake) all used of course. On the other hand, if I buy the sony a7ii i wouldn’t be able to afford so many lenses. But I have bee…

Sony A7ii or a6400 I have been using a canon 2000d for some time now and I have been finding it to be very limiting on some aspects. Especially low light performance, focusing and the screen being fixed in place. I have a budget around 1000 euros and I am trying to decide between A7 ii (it being full frame really tempts me) or a6400. I don’t really have a specific…

Getting the most out of the Sony A7II Is there anyone here who has owned the A7II for an extended period of time? If so, where would say the strengths of this body lie?

Canon RP vs Sony A7II choice dilemma Hi, I’m at a point where I would like to buy an entry-level full frame mirrorless camera. My budget does not allow me to go further than $700 for a camera (prefer to spend more money on lens) – that’s around a price tag for those cameras from 2nd hand. I’m mostly into portrait photography, it is also important to me for a camera to handle night …

Upgrading from Sony a7ii So around 1 1/2 years ago, I bought myself an a7ii with the standard 28-70mm and the Tamron 70-300mm for a total of around 1400€ and was (still am) very happy with my decision, not really wanting to spend the extra money on the a7iii at the time ​ However, lately I’ve been thinking about upgrading to an better body. I am unsure which camera to p…

Panasonic Lumix GX85 vs Sony A7ii Hey all! I know the title might be confusing since they’re both pretty different cameras. I have been shooting with my Sony A7ii for years and lately it feels a bit too clunky for me to carry around. So I haven’t been shooting much at all. I’m going to Europe soon and would love to take a more compact camera with me. After doing some research, …

What Canon is equivalent to the Sony A7ii? I had to sell my A7ii unfortunately a while but now I am ready to get back into it. While I loved the A7ii, there was not a crazy amount of lens options the way Canons do. This time I’m looking to spend around $800-$1000 or so on the body used. I’m also looking for the quickest lens that is about 1.8f or 2.8f. I am wanting this camera to be one…

Sony a7ii for $250? (For a beater camera) Been looking for a more portable camera I can be a little less careful with (than my Sony a7iv with Tamron 28-200mm). Found a a7ii for a good deal of $250 from a friend. Probably a bit powerful for a beater but the fujifilms im looking at cost way more. Would this be a good deal? I’ll have to buy a small lens separately (maybe a prime 35mm lens …

I have a Sony a7ii, not known for its super accurate focus. If I buy a Sony 50mm 1.2 GM, is the focus going to be good because the lens has near perfect focus? Or does it depend on what body you’re using a given lens at? submitted by /u/gamma-ray-bursts
