R8 vs hypothetical A7C II

[squarewave]

Let's say the A7C II is announced with the same form factor, buttons, physical controls etc and the only changes are that it has the new menus, the A7 IV sensor, and cropped 4K 60 recording for $1800.

If you were in the market for a compact FF camera and the choice was down to the R8 or A7C II as described above, which would you choose?

A7C II. Lens ecosystem > *.

I think everyone can agree the lens ecosystem for Sony E is far more extensive. Taking that as a given, why do any of us buy Canon bodies, and if we really want those E mount lenses, why are we here in this forum?

Dunno'. It's going to depend on the individual. This was a hypothetical asked to the forum and I answered how I would respond.

Personally I wouldn’t unless I was only planning to adapt ef lenses or was 100% sure that the lenses I needed made sense in eos r, like the 85 f2. Very surprising to me that nikon has been able to leapfrog .
