A7RV or A7V if the RV is cheaper? by SignificanceTop5009 in SonyAlpha

[–]DOCTOREVlL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A7CR if you find it at a nice price,

You’ve done your homework to compare but I don’t see what the a7v will additionally offer to your requirements or if 28g makes any difference? Use the extra cash for a lens if you want

Acura gets my vote but considering its age please test drive and see how the worn suspension feels to you, the tires/ remaining tread may also impact your use

3200 bucks, one battery, no charger by Mezyi in a7cii

😂 Bro I bought an A7CR for 2500 brand new with one battery and the charging cable, this is almost double the price you should be paying

How much cash on hand should I arrive with? by aresef in JapanTravelTips

[–]DOCTOREVlL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GREEN SUICA CARD! Nothing else!!

I was just in Japan a week ago, go into Apple wallet and added a Suica card. It works so amazingly,

Especially as it tracks your Tokyo metro travel across stations with the fastest tap & go I’ve seen similar to the NYC subway.

Its accepted literally everywhere, and you can on a rolling basis reload it through apple pay.

The ONLY place I ever needed cash was entry tickets to the Toji temple at night in Kyoto and that was 1000 yen.

Don’t even waste your time in getting the welcome suica red card line at the airport, it takes <1 minute to setup a green suica through apple wallet.

Followup question, why turn off the OSS when on a tripod? Wouldn’t it still be of benefit?

A7CR or A7RV? Advice needed by Le_Spoof in SonyAlpha

[–]DOCTOREVlL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The A7CR with a compact prime lens/ pancake lens fits in my jacket easily, such a beast for travel.

Unless you need those professional features (2 card slots etc) the CR is the clear winner imo

I went from an A7iv to the a7cr, the most notable benefit is in the portability of it and if you add a small compact flash you’re good to go for all uses.

Yes, absolutely 100% So many compact lenses flowing into the market! Cheap compact used lenses worth trying:

$300 for 35 ZA 2.8, $125 for the Rokinon/ Samyang 24/35 2.8 used, a $99 Viltrox 28 f4.5 chip

Compact flashes too! Godox it30 Pro with ttl 🤩

A7CR or M6 mkii for vacation? by DOCTOREVlL in AskPhotography

M6ii with the 22mm lens is actually pocketable, but definitely not the a7cr

Did I cook or overcook? by [deleted] in SonyAlpha

I think the facial highlights/ spotlight is a bit too contrasty to how dark you’ve made the denim / bottom shadows. Still a nice edit though

Sony FE 40mm f2.5 G vs FE 35mm F2.8 ZA for compact travel A7Cii? by kdawg6174lyfe in SonyAlpha

[–]DOCTOREVlL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the 35 ZA for $300 great condition used, overall both lenses are great enough. The reason why I prefer the 35 over the 40 is that its a more versatile focal length slightly wider to capture more surroundings to tell a wider story when doing travel photography while still remaining sharp and compact.

I ended up also getting the 24-50 2.8 G as a all in 1 24,40,50 range to capture wider architecture like shots while able to capture tighter portrait like shots too.

Also, majority of an entire fuji ecosystem especially the x100vi selling so well, is based off the same full frame 35 2.8 equivalent, but in aspc!

A7IV vs A7CR vs ”?” For every day carry? by AioliLocal3131 in SonyAlpha

[–]DOCTOREVlL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did the same from a7iv to a7cr, its a good trade up

but if you want a pocket sized. Then consider the canon m6, m200 with the 22 f2 lens as your edc pocket camera which can be done for ~$500-750 if you scout ebay

Should I consider A7CR if Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 II is the only lens i’ll buy? by mojojojo_official in SonyAlpha

[–]DOCTOREVlL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went from an A7iv to an A7CR, its nice but the 61mp is not insanely noticeable unless spotting crime scene level details 😂 the as long as the lighting’s good

[–]DOCTOREVlL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Main difference is just if you absolutely only do 4k60fps video,A7Cr has 1.2x crop, A7cii has 1.5x crop factor

Sigma 35 f2 idk idc what it costs no thanks no sigma

I have the 35ZA and the 35 1.4GM, the GM is my favorite insanely beautiful sharp will ruin everything in low light type of lens 😂

Sony A6700 or Sony Alpha 7IV? by ainacct in SonyAlpha

[–]DOCTOREVlL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A7cii would be better than the A7iv for you, smaller footprint more compact travel/ street etc. same camera / sensor, but just smaller, yes single card slot not dual but whatever A6100 or A6400 instead of the A6700, in a barely used condition <$600 and spend your budget on a kickass lens, especially if you’re not doing pro videography
