If you crop an A9ii image like that, the bird would have a lot less detail.

The GM2 is affordable compared to the cameras it is meant to go on. The GM2 is no where near the cost of the most expensive FF E-mount camera. Whereas the the 16-55mm G costs as much as the most ...

£1550 for both combined? That is a pretty good deal if it can be replicated. Amazon UK has the A6600 for £1242 and £1039 for the 16-55mm. I paid $1500 for my refurbished A7R4, but I wouldnt use my ...

I would argue that the 16-55mm at $1400 is not a affordable lens either.  It costs as much as the most expensive APSC emount camera(A6600).  And the lens doesnt have stabilization, meaning it ...

I wonder if the A7Cii will have that AI tracking and the tilt/rotating screen.

An A7R3/4/5 would be an upgrade to your set up, even with your lenses. The A6400 doesnt have IBIS, nor does that 16-55mm lens. Plus the A6400 uses a modified version of the A6000 sensor. (1) An A7Riii ...

The GMii is an amazing lens, that saves some weight over the Sigma. However, I dont it will be a huge leap over the Sigma. I would definitely rather have the  Sony 50mm F1.2 and the Sigma 24-70mm ...

Those are only on the A7Rv and based on previous A7 cycles, we are at least 2 years away from an A7v. So I would say go for the A7Rv over the A7iv.  But oof at the $3800 price. https://secondipity. ...

I dont, thats why I am not citing it as a source. How long is that list base on, 1 hour? 1 day, 1 week, 1 month? If you dont have context for that list, then its not useful. Here are some lists ...

Are you seriously reading a sort by best selling list on BH, like its gospel. Do you really think a $3900 camera is the best selling camera?  Do you know anything about how that list is formed?

Which was my original point. Sony isn't trying, when it comes to new(entry) customers. Sony is focused on raising prices and squeezing from the customers that remain.

You are analyzing the cameras as someone with experience with Sony. For entry level you have to put yourself in the shoe of someone going to best buy to see how they can improve on their iPhone ...

Really, I dont care much about the EOS RP or the A7ii.  Other than to say the A7ii is old tech that is not a good experience for a a new user in 2023.

But it is better. So rest my case here. The EOS RP has dual Pixel AF, and it is notably better. Sony changed the menus for the A7Siii and newer, why would they do that? For fun? Come on, Yongnou?  ...

(1) The EOS RP is newer, (2) The EOS RP has much better AF (3) The EOS RP has Eye AF (If the A7ii has it, its probably borderline useless)

The A7iii is $2000 body only. I do not consider that entry level pricing. The A7ii is available at Best Buy right now for $900(normal price at $1400).  The Nikon Z5 is $1400 and has fallen below ...

They do offer 9 year old cameras as a sad excuse for entry level. But it does not serve the intended purpose.  Unless that purpose is to scare customers back to their iPhones.

I dont see Sony doing much in the near future other than raising prices. Non-phone photography is quickly becoming niche/professional only. The entry level A7iv is now $2500. And the APSC line is ...

Thats true, I trust myself to do a simple job like this.... more than I trust shipping my camera across the country twice and hoping it makes it back in one piece.

I think he messed up the threads on his A7Sii mount.  The point of the video was to illustrate how easy it is to replace the mount hole. Though I would not do it myself on a camera thats $3800 and ...
