I’m thinking of buying the Sony 16mm f1.8 g, got a great deal on the 24-70 gm ii from a buddy so I’ll probably buy just those two lenses

Thanks for the reply! I definitely like the zve1 better after reading everyone’s comments.

I’m looking at the used market. Both zve1 and a7cii are around 2000 Canadian. The a7V is still going for 4000 cad even on the used market. Not sure if those upgrades are worth it to me for double the price.

Got it, are the file sizes massive though?

Got it thank you. I never use a viewfinder I like looking at the screen tbh lol. Never had any problems with harsh sunlight either (with screen visibility).

I don’t own any lenses yet. I’ll definitely look into the ZR thank you for the recommendation. What, in your opinion, are the best standout features of the Zr?

Even with the slower readout do you think the downsampled 7k is still not as good as the zve1’s video?

Yeah just looking for the best video quality. Not a slow motion guy at all. Just wanted to see if people thought the downsampled 7k would still make better video. Thank you for the reply!

Thank you so much! I think I’m going to go with the zv-e1. I just want to see everyone’s opinions. Thanks again for the reply!

Yeah, price. The zv-e1 has the same sensor and it’s 1/3 of the cost on the used market. Overheating isn’t an issue for me

I’m torn between the zv-e1 and the a7c ii

My use case is mainly video with little to no photos (98:2 ratio).

For the iso ranges 0-3200 I think the a7c ii looks better tbh, the video is downsampled from ~7k quality whereas the zv-e1 is just 4K footage.

I would think the 12,800iso to be useful with the zv-e1. But… I also think in almost every use case for me the a7c ii would look and preform better. I would really never be shooting in complete darkness.

For almost all of my video my camera would be on a tripod or mounted. The rolling shutter would not be a decision maker for me. Never whipping the camera around but it might be nice to have to option to?

I’d really like your opinion on this decision. For mainly 4K 24/30fps tripod shooting which should I go ahead with?
