A7III vs A7II - Should you Save $1000?

Hey thanks for posting the video, I’m new to vlogging and my content is golf related so I’m looking for a camera to record mostly videos would you recommend either of these two? Most golf vloggers I know have gone for the A7iii

None of these cameras are dslrs, slightly annoyed over those slips in the video lol. Other than that, really informative.

Looking at getting either. I mainly do Car photography and debating on which one to go with.

The biggest difference wasn't even mentioned and that is video =)) A7II goes only up to 1080 in line-skipping and it looks quite bad. For photos, the Mk II is a very capable camera, even though getting the correct focus isn't always the easiest. Only for photos, I wouldn't pay 1000€ more on a 7III, but if you shoot photo AND video regularly, then it's really better to either get the Mk III or a second camera which is good at video because the Mk II isn't.

a7ii is great camera for "profesionals" just photographers getting lazy too much. I use a7ii and a77 in 2023 without any issues whatsoever

Nice❤

Julia you are looking gorgeous....

I have the A7II now and I think it is a good camera with a good sensor, great colors and a good dynamic range. This is my first digital full frame camera ever, so for me it is a big step forwards. I use the camera to make images of my paintings (manual focus). Thank you for your video.

Great video. Thank you Julia.
The MkII seems to have a warmer color cast but it looks like any difference in sharpness would be at the pixel peep level.
I can get the MkII with the 24-105 G for only a slightly higher price than the MkIII with the 24-70 kit lens. Almost a no-brainer after this video since I'm not overly-concerned with burst or eye autofocus.
And honestly with Lightroom's enhance RAW feature, MP density isn't much of an issue any more either.
I print super sharp landscapes from my old, old, OLD Canon EOS T6 (18MP APS-C with the EF-S 24mm f/2.8) at 36x24 inches and there is no problem with soft details.

i just got the a72, my main reason and this is what my friends suggested to do also, get the cheaper (go for a mid tear camera) save your money to buy a really good set of lens, as for them lens are more important than the camera body, and when looking at a73 and a72 not much difference apart from the price, so went with the a72 to save the money and my first lens im going to try the sony 35mm f1.8 lens

forgot to mention a7 ii cannot record 4k

Other things to consider is the A7iii can suffer from problems with moire since it has no anti-alias filter. This can be annoying if shooting regular patterns like clothing texture (e.g wedding dresses). Also, the A7ii does have eye focus but only in single shot mode not continuous tracking focus. Above ISO 3200 the A7iii is certainly better but at lower ISO the A7ii is just as good, in fact in the tight head shot comparison I much preferred the A7ii output, I like the colour balance better. You can extend battery life by switching pre-AF off, picture review mode off and wifi off. $1000 dollars buys some nice glass! I enjoyed the review!

a7ii + fe 50 hard to focus ... does upgrade firmware can help ?

both camera's are my dream camera but can't buy both of them

would the A7II be perfect for podcasting and vlogging ?

It always makes me laugh when any photographer convinces his or herself that a more expensive camera will allow them to take better pictures. Technological life is a laugh at times, but sad and dire most of all.

Is the Canon eos 80D better or Sony a7 II don't know what to buy?

Need suggestions. I have Sony A57, APS-C, have it for 8yr, with @74000 pictures taken, Is acting up. Willing to upgrade to full frame. My options are, Sony A7II, or A7III. Is it worth paying extra $800 for A7III, or with a7II, with buying better lenses? Most of the photos are personal, or for families, not professional. Thank you in advance.

Guys I have Nikon d3200 what should I buy?

Great! Thanks!

Is this kit lenses? Same lens on both?

hahaha. ...and here I am wanting the best eye-auto-focus. I need $1k extra.

Buy A7II, then sell it when you get tired of it. :)

is Sony A6400 still a better pick in 2022?

awesome video thanks!

iam Indian viewer ur explanations osm great job madem

your videos super 👌 ur super

fantastic job

Marry me !!! But I’m not sharing my cameras 😁

why do you keep calling them Mark 2 and 3 ? 😵‍💫🤔🤔

Might be late, but in the dinamic range comparisson, you had a jpg with the a7II !!.

alot of this stuff goes without saying 95% of the time a newer make and model of a camera is always going to be better, how ever alot of us are not capable of upgrading every year they come out with a new camera so you might be jumping from a camera 8 generations ago to one thats 3 generations old and its going to feel like an upgrade regardless! if you were shooting just fine on somee thing like a a6000 you are going to love a a7ii!!

either way great video! i would reeccomend a battery grip for the a7ii but its rock solid

Gotta warn you guys. Julia is a super hot Robo-babe sent back through time to break our hearts. She does great videos though.

Hello I have a small question, do the lenses of the A7 II go on the A7 III?

I’m only looking to get a camera for travel photography - which is rare considering covid concerns - and rare getaway trips with friends, and small parties every now and then. Do you think the benefits the A7iii have over the A7ii are a necessity in my situation or can I get away with having the A7ii?

Photography is really just a hobby and I’m not looking to take it to the next level eg. wedding events, huge functions etc

Tyyyyyy

You are beatiful and nice comparation

Yeah I’m going to upgrade next Black Friday 😅 to the mark iii

Idk if you still check the comments for this but.

What lens would you recommend for someone who needs to record short form videos in 2k and up has decent zoom and decent landscape format?

Yes , the Sony a7ii has very much potential, i prefer that and a lens premium like 24-70 2.8 or 20mm sony

Thank you for all the knowledge i really appreciate that!

Great comparison video, that A7III is so advanced! I just bought a second hand a7II at a good price. I plan to use with my manual Zeiss ZM 35 f/2(walk around) and Leica 90 f/2(Portrait). I regret selling my Zeiss Ikon rangefinder for $900 7 years ago, they are so expensive now! The a7II is the next best thing and it has IBIS!

What do you use to edit these photos?

I thought your friend was an old woman till I saw the beard ,but I have seen old women with beards too !

Enjoy your video

Great video and really helpful. I have a question, was this video shot with one of these cameras? As I'm looking for a camera to be able to take pictures of my products I make and tutorial videos on my art of flytying. Would you recommend these cameras for video also?
