Great Camera at a reasonable price
This is a beast of a hybrid camera in a small body! I use Sony’s 85mm f1.8 and Sony 20-70mm f4 for spur of the moment everyday photography. The photo quality is sharp, the focus tracking is very fast and you can even adjust the tracking response speed in the menu. The shutter has a nice sound to it and the video options are nice enough for professional paid work.Sony has a new firmware update available too.The menu is easier to navigate and the touchscreen helps you get there faster, you can even swipe, pinch zoom in or out like on an iPhone.I bought mine used like new and it looks and works perfectly for daily photos, street photography, portraits and product photography. For video the body can get warm but the firmware v1.02 update helped.The only odd thing about this camera for me is the power on/off switch positions. To turn it on I have to turn the switch towards me instead of away from me.

I made a decision to purchase this camera, after long-time debating between available options out there. Primarily, because it supports my all- time favorite lens Sony Carl 135mm f1.8 very nicely. Of course with Sony adapter la-ea5. Fast auto focus with eye tracking, especially able to get sharp photos of static object at speed 1/20s. Happy so far.
Its single slot SD card, and small but very usable view-finder don’t bother me, I had initial hesitation after trying a7c with small dull view finder, at BB.. But not an issue any more with this baby.
My older a7 and a7r3 worked with this lens but poorly auto focus and I am waiting for the better. And now it comes a7cii. Lack of joystick is not problem at all . Used to handle the Sony nex-5, same here.
Sony a7r5 and a1 were the possible candidates for my favorite lens but their grainy images captured in low light were really not my acceptance. I know they will bother me when processing these photos. Skip … a7cii wins here.
I have a bunch of high-end Nikon f- mounted lenses, and have eyes on Nikon Zf. But lack of protection for sensor from this camera really disappointed me. Nikon, how much more money for integrating this sensor’s projection to the Zf ? I am willing to pay more to get it…Marketing strategy like this don’t make me buy z8/9, but a7cii .
Get this camera a7cii and you will be happy playing with it. People complain anything about this camera because they are bored :-)

This is a great camera overall. The AI tracking is fantastic. The size is fantastic. The viewfinder has a lot left to be wished for it’s uncomfortable to use in. The angle is very odd. Maybe you can get used to it overtime. But the camera itself was working well until I noticed the battery was acting up, and the charge was getting less and less, I guess this is what happens when you expect higher quality batteries. It’s sad but I had to return this camera because there was no other way of resolving the battery issue. Let me say it was not an easy return because Amazon required it to be Hand picked up from my house. , I guess this is what happens when you expect higher quality batteries. It’s sad but I had to return this camera because there was no other way of resolving the battery issue. Let me say it was not an easy return because Amazon required it to be Hand picked up from my house Which took delays especially when we weren’t home. There was also no option to drop off the refund also took 3 to 4 weeks. This was definitely a turn off from buying on Amazon for such a high cost item.

The camera boasts impressive specifications in a compact full-frame body. It provides excellent image and video quality, and its autofocus system is one of the best available. However, one issue that I personally find unpleasant is the small viewfinder which becomes difficult to see under bright sunlight.

I'm also a Fuji user but I wanted to try full-frame. My local camera store had Sony reps showing this camera before it was released, so I kinda had a feeling for it already. I like the size and form of the A7CII. I wish it had a joystick but with the AI focus I can't complain. I know to make something this size with lots of features some won't make the cut. Fuji does take the cake with color rendering to be honest. But I am enjoying the sharpness and dynamic range of this camera, and I still have the old Fuji for other occasions.

No sé si sea normal, pero llegó sin el cable USB C que normalmente tienen, busqué por internet y decía que este modelo suele traerlo, pero no fué mi caso.
