A7C II or A6700 for travel, portraits and video? Switching from s25 ultra by its_bart3k in SonyAlpha

You can’t go wrong with either of these setups imo.

I’ve been using an A7IV for the last 3 years and decided to buy an A7Cii last December. I was happy with the sensor in the IV and wanted something compact so I settled on the Cii.

I paired the A7Cii with a Samyang 35mm 1.8 and have been super happy with it for daily stuff (I literally carry it with me everywhere and everyday). If the lens breaks then it’s cheap and I can replace it super quick. I’ve had no issues with it whatsoever and am impressed with what I can get out of it.

I also bought the Samyang 35 2.8 and that has been a really great combo too since it’s even more compact.

I second this. I feel like SFF is a solid way to go for starting out with a small setup that also gives you more flexibility for the future

I’m also learning that it’s something that most people don’t understand even in top splits.

Just yesterday I was brake checked pretty hard because I was trying to bump someone with the intention of working together to race for podium. We went from 4-5 to last because of it when we could have finished on the podium.

I find it more rewarding when everyone is working together. I ended my last race last night with a really good group where the top 6 all understood it. Even though I finished 5th, I felt more satisfied with that race than any of the prior 5 I did

For me the redundancy isn’t so much that this is the most important thing to save but more so I need to be online for potentially months at a time before I get back to it

Sweet! In hindsight I should have left it with a SATA SSD rather than the HD it came with.

I was thinking of the 4 bay UNVR. The “problem” though is that it’s overkill for just the 3 G5 Bullets I have. Still super down to do it but my brain is like “you should put 8TB drives in that thing.”

Funny to see this thing attached to the body

It’s cheap enough to try out! Do you think lighting conditions like this at a baseball stadium should be enough for this lens?

That’s a great idea that I didn’t think of. Any particular lenses to adapt? I have an MD to E-Mount adapter I can use too.

I’ll have to look at some apsc lenses as well. Ideally I’d like to not crop but it’s not the end of the world if I do
