    Baseball focus issue was user error. You used the wide area in combination with face detect, so the camera is going to try to find a face/eyes anywhere in the frame, if closer better, and focus on them, and that's exactly what it did. The batter didn't have his eyes visible enough. You could simply have changed the focus area in that instance and it would have worked great.

      He could have hit the rear AF on button and started tracking the batter. Then went back to Eye AF once the batter was facing the camera.

    I’m surprised they don’t put high resolution LCD panels on these compact bodies. I imagine most folks will shoot these off the LCD rather than the EVF.

    How the 4k 60p in crop factor mode on the a7cII compare to 4k 60p on a FX30/a6700 when regarding low light? are they virtually the same or a FF sensor is still better even in crop mode?

    • @Kevodabomb_Media
      @Kevodabomb_Media Рік тому

      Difference is you can buy an A7IV used as low as 1900, so it’s just a matter of what features are more important. Both are great, but coming from a Fuji XT4 (with a fantastic EVF) I couldn’t deal with a smaller lower resolution Evf. Also the 1/8000 shutter speed has actually come in handy a few times or me, as well as all the customizable buttons.

    I picked up the A7C II at my camera shop. Going in, I thought I wanted the A7CR instead. I already have the A7C, so I was leaning towards more megapixels this time, granted it is $600 more expensive. As long as your hands fit nicely with the smaller grip, the A7C II is a very compelling hybrid camera - only a few minor missing features from the big brother A7IV - plus it includes AI tracking. The guy at the camera shop seemed convinced that anyone considering the A7CR should just get the A7RV instead - granted, that's another $500-900 (depending on sales and timing). But, I see it like the same value prop as the A7C II - a travel-friendly version that is cheaper (better value) than the larger body. I think I would agree, the A7C II is the better camera for general, hybrid use and the one I would automatically consider if I didn't already have the previous gen. Decisions, decisions. I know, this is a very first world problem. LOL

    Around the 5:10 mark in this video, seeing the view you had, it looked like the camera was intent on finding an eye, and since the batter had his back to you, it ignored him for the eyes it saw in the dugout.
    That doesn't help soothe the aggravation over the missed shots, but that might be something for you or someone else to watch for in the future.

      You're onto something. Having a big heavy camera often limits your desire to use it, as good as the quality might be. Particularly when juggling kids and travel. I found getting a smaller camera helped me use it more. Easier to strap around your neck when you pair it with a prime. Id rather lose a tiny bit of image quality or function than lose the desire to take the shot. 👍

  • @PaulHobbs23
    @PaulHobbs23 Рік тому +3

    One thing no one talks about is that a camera with a big EVF bump in the center can’t be worn with a strap as easily. With the A7C and A6000 bodies you can put the top of the camera flush against your back which allows the lens to hang down parallel to your back. Much more comfy than having the lens stick out perpendicular to your hip or back.

As an A7IV user, I am somewhat envious of the improved AF and stabilization, but it's been a couple of years and one would hope / expect advancements in these areas. Disappointed that there is no improvement in the EVF and LCD. Hoping to see an upgraded EVF and LCD in the upcoming A7V.

      Despite being one of the largest LCD manufacturers, Sony still puts in 2005 quality LCDs in their mirrorless cams. This is one big reason I stuck with Canon. That and the fact that the Sonys still have cropped 4K60 and no full frame like the R6 II (best full frame 4k60 you can get) and the R8.

    Main difference compared to A7IV is: mech shutter halved to 1/4000, no mech front/first curtain(or what is it called) which causes bokeh imperfections, no closed shutter to protect sensor when swapping lens, burst shooting limit due to 1 card slot.
    What's better: 7stop IS(up to 2s with wide sony lens), cheaper, not a brick - small&light,...
    Slow shutter and imperfections on super bright lens can be countered with ND filter.
    Basically a7cII is better in low light or handheld shooting.
    For those recording videos there are obviously bigger heat limits, but I don't.

    • @ashley-paul
      @ashley-paul Рік тому

      My experience with A7 IV is that it overheats quite easily in video. If anything, the A7C II might be better than the A7 IV in that regard.

    • @explodingheavens
      @explodingheavens Рік тому

      @ashley-paul On other side, I read and see that it can record for a longer time till it hits the heat limit compared to c line since there is more space to dissipate heat. I d9 not care about that stat either way, since my videos are about 16s in length 😂
      So if you care and you found a difference in IV to be worse, then c is better for you.
      Tho, I think IV limit shouldn't be so bad, maybe it depends on settings and card used?

    • @ashley-paul
      @ashley-paul Рік тому

      I could get the A7 IV to overheat indoors every single time within about an hour in 4K24/30 by using USB-C power. The A7C never overheated with those settings. Neither did the A7R V when I tested it. I have a feeling that's because the A7 IV does a full pixel readout of 33 megapixels, whereas the A7R V does pixel binning and A7C only has 24 megapixels. I personally don't have the A7C II so I can't test its overheating, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if it was better thermally than the A7 IV. The A7 IV is like 2 years old at this point and A7C II actually has newer chips and processing, so it could be more thermally efficient. I wouldn't know. I just wouldn't automatically assume that the A7C II overheats more, that's all. A7C was better for longer videos than the A7 III was, after all.

    • @explodingheavens
      @explodingheavens Рік тому

      @ashley-paul considering that, it can be different when in crop mode also when on usbc power. That to say, I got no idea if those cameras can work purely on usbc without battery, that would make cooling better, did not try it as I have no reason to.
      Battery create heat, so it could also cool better if that space was opened or some cooling used in it instead of battery.
      Sony cameras definitely need that kind of add-on to record without any issues.
      I hear PlayStation got heat problems, My sony amp in car got too, they should up their game finally, why everything overheats 😂

And even in low-light I didn't miss a shot placing my autofocus points where I needed them with perfect and did you know that the 80d separate is focus points from vertical to horizontal but the good news is I love it when you do these reviews to the cameras because eventually I'll be able to afford that 90d because the more they come out with cameras and more than 90 D is going on sale and then I'll have two of the awesome last DSL ours in the world and I'll be legendary keep going with your reviews I like them
