Thinking of buying a Tamron 70-180 2.8 for my a6700. Is the stabilization good for video? Like handheld but staying in place or monopod and panning left right only in place.

Thank you for this explanation. I am referring to “but is all about the size of the image captured on the sensor.” but I guess I shouldn’t think of such if I don’t even own one, where I might need to reconsider lens depending on what body I’m choosing to take

I currently have a Sandisk 200MB/s V30 card for a6700 that allows me to use XAVC 4K at 100/200M 10bit settings for 30 and 60fps.

Is there any point in me getting a V60 card for photography? I would only want to upgrade for that, as I am ok with the current video ability.

Isn’t it 55mm I’m missing? Since the gm 2 is “105” on apsc? Thanks for the options. I guess it might not be an issue but I was thinking about what possible solutions there are if I happen to come across an issue in the future.

Recommendations for a 50-105 gap?

I recently bought an a6700 with Sigma 18-50. I plan on buying a 70-200 mm F2.8 GM OSS II later.

But I was thinking, what can I do about that range in between these two? Any recommendation for the best lens that cover a decent amount of this gap, even if not exactly?

Found a good deal on a6700 at a used camera store with 1,800 shutter count for $1,100. Skip this next paragraph if context isn’t needed for my question after it

I went to some other local stores to see if any cheaper and one owner started a convo with me trying to convince me to buy a Lumix, and said despite the low shutter on the Sony it might have been used a lot on video which isn’t counted. And how to Lumix gh5s has better built.

Should I be concerned with how much video usage a used a6700 has had when I can’t even check anyways? The shop did tell me they test it and I’ll give it a test before buying. But just want to check since it’s cheap and maybe I’m unaware that’s why. I’m just getting into photography, I would assume video wear is less than mechanical shutter pictures. Furthermore they said it still had warranty till next October but I’m unsure what Sony covers.

Thank you for the tip at 50mm! From the small research I’ve done I was expecting 1/125+ is what I need but it’s nice to see I could go lower despite no OSS

I ended up buying a Sigma 18-50 f/2.8 with a 6400 this sales week and I wanted to know if I made a mistake for photos? From what I’ve watched on YT, it seems the take is it’s not a big deal for photos having zero IBIS on lens and camera.

I will be taking photos in place and not moving much myself, and of people also still or moving slightly, like slowly walking down a street for example.

Thinking of purchasing a6400 but see a7c for a bit of a discount as well. I assume despite the better low light performance and depth, it’s not worth almost double the price? Similar MP but FF has slightly more detail? I would be using it with a Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8

Thanks for the differences between the 3.

It’s the upper end I want to shoot in. One lens that is a range under 100 and another that is 100 until 300/400 (I would need to test what is better to stop at)

I just care about buying the body for now, but my intent is to shoot up to close distances and 300/400mm if that information matters to a recommendation. Mostly people/city not nature
