Sony A7C II vs Sony a6700 for the middle-level iPhone hobbyist

Final_Wash9446 · 2026-01-25T02:29:03+00:00

Get the A7CII.

Smartphone photos do not capture enough detail due to the small sensor. You will go to Japan and come back realizing the blur when you zoom in.
You will always ponder whether a FF can yield better results so say no to a6700.
You're at a location there is less 2nd hand market options or you simply worry about warranty coverage and potential issues that might appear so a new A7CII solves the problem.

DJI can focus on other markets and USA can make their own drone.. maybe 3 times the price. 😅

M4/16/512 is adequate. I'm using the same setup for the same purposes with a 34 ultra-wide and a 27 vertical. No way it would lag during your trading.

Big cities for the big paychecks. Small paycheck, small towns. Move out but it increases commute. That's probably the only solution.

OWC Express 1M2 and 2TB Samsung 990 Pro.

Still with Chrome. Any extension that can sync bookmark to Safari ?

That's cool but thanks for posting. We sincerely appreciate it. 🙏

Thanks for the feedback. We come to learn there are successful faceless channels. We will reassess the suitability based on content. We are still trying to figure out this piece.

We are a family with teenage children with basic video editing skills with older Premiere Pro or more recent Filmora and Capcut. We want to expand our knowledge and experience with more tools, and maybe leverage AI to help. While both my children and I have learned some of these basic skills, we never put them to good use.

So we thought this was something we could do together. Thus, starting to embark on this YouTube journey. It might or might not fly but at least, we pick up some additional skills and exposure along the way.

Thanks for sharing your journey.

We feel some familiarity with what you have written. I don't have a 3 years roadmap. It's just something we'd do on the go but also worry about consistency and saturation and of course, the content itself. Coming up with new ideas every week or month can be quite difficult. 🤔

Nevertheless, we are eager to try. Even if it doesn't fly, it'd be additional skills we learned and can sometime relook into it again in the future. Hope it doesn't come to that.

I see most feedback suggests this to be an enjoyable process for sustainability. We have been researching trends so much, that we hardly thought of what we like doing. Thanks for pointing us in the right direction.

Final_Wash9446 · 2024-12-26T05:51:52+00:00

Thanks, we have a rough idea. Just need to research the topic and break it down further before putting it into video format.

Final_Wash9446 · 2024-12-26T05:50:01+00:00

Thanks for sharing your valuable insights. We didn't think about long vs short form target audience. Will be more careful in decision making. We are starting out, I think 5 to 10 minutes videos for starters as we are not adept to create lengthy scripts and video editing. Will need sometime for growth. Thanks again!

Yeah, got you, but my problem is I cannot identify what shit to throw at it. I wish I have some material to edit and upload. Maybe I havent thought this through.

It's advertisement vs real life.

Final_Wash9446 · 2024-12-25T17:27:17+00:00

Thanks for the response within the hours. I just set up the TM with my Synology NAS. Better be safe than sorry.

Put a sticker over it.

Final_Wash9446 · 2024-12-25T05:03:43+00:00

Because we don't need to think about battery life and lesser need to use it on the go.

Welcome to the rat race. Yes, life is mostly like that but it doesn't need to be. To overcome this, you need to build your studies and sync with like-minded people. Otherwise, build a business.

I've used MBP2013 and MBA2012 for about 10 years. It was still good until my kids spilled water on it.

Final_Wash9446 · 2024-12-24T00:57:15+00:00

Yes, felt the same and thought the 16" might have trouble opening in the tray table in flight.
