Sony a7Rii vs Sony a7Sii, which one do I use the most?
I know I promised a Sony a7sii review a long time ago, already a lot of video comparisons between these two camera, but I have been using both for over 8 months now so I might have a different take on this and there is one camera I use more than the other, so I thought I would share.
I'm not going to guess what camera you should get based on your shooting style since I am sure most have already decided to own one of them by now.
Comparisons:
Both have IBIS, both have the same weak but tiny battery, very similar color science (not the case for a7s original), both do not overheat now
a7rii has a back-illuminated structure sensor that can only go up to 25k ISO for video mode
The a7Rii works best in cropped mode for video, while the a7Sii works best in FF mode
a7Sii is better in low light, but that is only when you get crazy high ISO like over 12,800
But watch out when the a7s mark III comes out with the back-illuminated structure at 12mp that should be amazing!
a7sii has slog2 and 3, while the a7rii only have slog2
a7Sii has aliasing in full frame mode when shooting in 4k where as 1080/24p doesn't have any aliasing
Slog2 starts at ISO 800 for the a7Rii while the a7Sii starts at ISO 1600
A7Rii has 42MP great for stills like landscapes, a7sii 12MP
a7Rii has much better AF-C since it has phase detection AF
a7Sii has slog assist
a7Sii you can shot for slow motion and playback in camera the slow motion, a7rii can't
a7sii can shoot 120fps at 1080, the a7Rii 120fps at 720
a7rii you can shoot 4k in aps-c mode, the a7sii can't
a7sii it is easier to shoot 4k wider than than the a7rii
both has bad rolling shutter
Since the a7sii works best in FF mode, you will get more shallow DOF for shots like interviews
I use Sony a7rii more for the following reasons:
I have created a Sony a7Rii course and a Sony a7Sii course, both I have pixel peeped a ton because these courses take months to make!
When I don't have control over the lighting and it's a high dynamic scene I shoot in slog2, the other times I am using a more linear creative style like Standard, I typically over expose slog by about 2 stops, well guess what happens, most of the time when I am shooting in Standard creative style with the correct exposure and then switch over to slog, the ISO jumps to 800 and the exposure is right where I need it, two stops too bright. With the a7sii it jumps to 1600 or 3200 and then requires downward exposure change, if you don't run and gun like I do this might not be a problem, but for me having to grab and ND filter when it jumps to 3200 is an issue.
The a7Rii AF is better, I use the a7rii a lot on a gimbal with AF and it works a lot better than the a7sii
I don't have to worry about moire when shooting at 4k.
When I am shooting stills I do enjoy having 42MP for portraits or landscapes
I mostly never shoot above 12,800 ISO both cameras have about the same noise below that.
For interviews I use the a7rii for my wide shot in 4k crop mode and the a7sii for my close up at 1080 full frame mode, the a7rii will give me a nice detailed wide shot while the a7sii will give me nice shallow DOF on the close up.

Love the spoiler alert!
dat chroma key is on point! This is helpful to me, I honestly don't much about the Sony A7S cameras. Thanks for making this video
Very nice info Dave. Without this, I would have certainly thought the 7S would be the one to go for. And thanks for the awesome array of courses on your site, covering almost all the canon and now sony cameras.
I've been waiting for this video since you bought both. Thanks for the details.
Dave, your expertise and experience with these cameras is absolutely priceless! In merely the first 2 minutes, I have already learned more then in the past week after searching for comparisons regarding these two mirrorless cameras. Thank you so much for your work!
This video convinced me to get the A7Rii and I haven't looked back. Used it for 18 months now and I've never had moire issues. I've used a very wide variety of lenses on it and it works superbly with vintage glass but it lives with the Sony Zeiss 24-70mm which is insanely sharp, clean and auto focusses insanely fast. Just a big thank you, I'm loving this camera.
I have yet to edit much as I've been avoiding Premiere but now I have DaVinci Resolve on Mac (it is buggy as hell on Windows) I'm happy as can be! :o)
This is 100% all of the information I was looking for. Your videos are the best I've found. Thanks a bunch!
Thanks Dave. Like always, I completely enjoy your videos. Super Helpful. I've had the A7Rii on my radar and now its settled. Again, much appreciated.
This was super helpful, thanks Dave. I've never been able to keep those 2 straight in my head.
Thanks Dave. I agree with you as I also use my A7Rii more than my A7s. BTW, I bought your A7Rii course and it was awesome! I learned a lot about the menu settings and particularly the various Picture Profiles. You do great tests to show the capabilities of the camera in different settings and how to optimize it. Great job! :)
Great Job Dave! I'm still not a huge fan of Sony ergonomics, but man those results!
put a cage arround it
Love your videos Dave. I highly recommend using UA-cam End frames now instead of annotations. They're revolutionised the business end of videos for us :)
Thanks, I need to look into that. I am not sure how to use them.
Dave, I respect your perspective, though my perspective is different. I just sold my A7S to get a second A7Sii, and not the A7Rii. Having two identical cameras is a real plus. I ALWAYS shoot in Log, and decide on log curves based on lighting conditions. SLog 2 expands details in highlights. Slog 3 expands details in shadows.Changing the gamma to Cine1-4 greatly reduces 8 bit banding, and allows the ISO to be dropped to as low as 200. While the A7Rii definitely has auto focusing advantages, it does not have SLog 3, 120 FPS HD, or a gorgeous full frame image. Of the 12 lenses I am fortunate enough to own, 9 of them are manual focus, with 6 being Carl Zeiss ZF.2's.There is nothing like follow focusing with a 7" HDR monitor that has focus peaking. I've never noticed aliasing yet on the A7S ii - knock on wood! My Ronin-M gimbal shots are just fine because the subject is always at the centre of the frame. The 12 MP A7Sii can produce full quality stills up to 11"x17", which is perfect for the Canon Pro 100 printer. I have yet to find a client who wanted larger pictures. Regardless, you have my respect.
bro your short paragraph if very informative.. thanks for sharing... don't mind asking... I have been having trouble using the slog2 in day time... it seem I have (white) noise in the shadow and highlight.. .. wonder if you have any advice... thanks in advance
Sure! SLog 2 requires that you set your EV at +2 to hide white noise. For SLog 3, set your EV to +1.3, though SLog 3 is noisier in the shadows than Slog 2. Adjusting exposure levels in post helps. The Neat Video denoising tool works great. Type my name into UA-cam, then have a look at the detailed notes below the videos by clicking on the "show more" button called "Fisherheart" and "Nutimik Moonlight Sonata".
thanks for your info Leonard
Leonard Ulrich Definitely agree with you! I love my a7Sii. Full frame 4K has been nothing but gorgeous and 120 fps at 1080p is awesome. The stills I'm able to get as well have been fantastic and I'm not blowing up photos bigger than what you mentioned either. I love shooting at night and the low light performance on it is incredible. Would love to pick up an a7Rii though one of these days.
Hi, could you recommend any instructive films or articles about how to do professional manual focus in cameras like a7s / ii ? Is that possible to do it one man in case of documentaries, music videos etc? I would appreciate any of your suggestions.
Thank you for the comparison!
I'm looking forward to the a7s iii.
Hi dave, this video couldnt come at a more appropriate time! Looking to get into the sony system soon!
Azmir what did you decide on?
Thanks for this! I have both and I'm trying to really master the 2.
Very useful comparison. Thanks for posting.
Great video. I've been researching the A7S/A7R and Canon 70D/80D for a camera upgrade so this video is helpful.
Very nice video Dave!
Straight to the point. I like it. Thanks for all your great work!!
Great comparison Dave!
You absolutely nailed the lighting and chroma key on this video. Well done.
I agree the A7RII is way better than the A7SII I've used both and always go back to A7RII. Great video Dave.
Thanks Armando!
A7SII collects dust im my bag, Definately love the A7RII way more
Really? A $3000 camera collecting dust? You must be rich, can I get it. Believe me, it won't be collecting dust when I get it bro.
Unless you want the full frame aesthetic.
Canon T6S or 80d or this sony a7ssi Or a7rii ? wanna be able to be a UA-cam blogger , take good pics of cars , nature and people , dealerships. Let me know anyone everyone's feedback is welcome. Armando Ferreira
You're the man Dave! Many thanks with the info!!!
Dave...really, this is one of your best video and one of the best tech advice od YT. 6
succinct minutes, thx!
Thanks!
Great video Dave, really clear and precise bringing up a lot of points people may have over looked myself included! In my head it was always a juxtaposition of uber high ISO nightvision and the extra resolution for stills. Im still not sure I could get around having a full frame camera that performs better in crop mode though... currently using an A6000 for video and photography I'm longing for that full frame lens ratio.
Thanks for your video!
interesting video. now you have me thinking about the A7lll. i hope it has a touch screen. but i wont hold my breath waiting on Sony to give us what we all want. but i am ready to ditch my 5Dlll. and i dont think it will be for a 5D4. always enjoy your videos
Wonderful review
Great video mate. I've had the r2 since it came out and i've made so many videos with it. It's amazing with that sony wide and I use a batis 85 for video a lot more than I thought I ever would. Only thing i desire, maybe they would do an app, Would be predefined focus zones and then be able to dictate speed to bounce between them.
excellent video, thank you for making this :)
Dave Dugdale, i am eagerly awaiting the A7RIII course.. money ready to throw at you
mickspawn hoping to release on Friday.
Nice comparison Dave. I may have to wait for the A7SIII! I just bought the X5 (M4/3) camera for my Inspire 1, as well as the Osmo handle (still waiting), and so far the camera is getting nice footage.
Coool... Thanks for sharing. I watched your other video dealing with how to handle 4k in Premiere by just changing it to 1080 and then dragging to the timeline. The funny part is that I actually forgot to change the setting and just drug the 4k video to the timeline and then right clicked and selected scale to frame and I was able to export out in 1080 with no problems. I have not tried to export in 4k, but I would have to look into that again as I believe there was a plugin I was supposed to download. In either case, thanks for sharing.
Whoops... I kinda got sidetracked, but the purpose of this post was really to ask any oddball question. I forgot the technical term, but I call it ghosting when a person is moving in the frame and it feels like a slow shadow is following them. Not sure if you would remember, but when your friend was walking down the street in the video comparison video that I am posting on, there was little to no ghosting. Was there a particular setting that you used?
Quick background... Earlier in the year, I tried to shoot a modeling style fast-action posing photoshoot.... It did not go well. I prefer single shot mode, so I just figured that not switching to continuous shooting was the issue. About 2 weeks ago, I did a short running man challenge music video, the A7RII was ghosting non-stop. I figured that since I was shooting in 4k that I would have that issue. Although I read reviews that the A7RII is not very good for action, I did not think it would be that bad. So far, I have been wrong. I am hoping that it is just a setting.
Also, I love the idea of shooting in 4k and I am trying to avoid switching to crop mode. Any ideas or any settings that you are using for fast action on the A7RII would be much appreciated.
Are you using any particular settings for fast action whether for video or fashion photography?
Note: I am loving my A7RII. I bought it for still photography and it has more than exceeded my expectations. I do own a z5u video camera that I normally use for video work, but I liked the idea of using the A7RII for smaller projects, but I have to fix the action issue.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
Mark
Fantastic Dave. Got the A7RII When it got released and doing both the photo and Video. Sadly those lunatics with their iso 400k dont get that it doesnt make it a better video camera.
Great! I would be very interested in some Resolve courses and how you edit your film! That would be excellent!
Thanks Dave! That was helpful. Perhaps they will morph the two cameras for an a7RS model, now that would be a cool thing.
That would be cool. Add a touch screen and call it good.
A dual sensor camera? That'd be a headache for engineers.
I agree a touch screen and a little better battery. Then wishfull thinking takes me to 4K at 60 FPS and 1080 at 120FPS for the A7RIII
Proud owner of a a7R II. Thanks for the good overview.
Great hands-on between the two with real-world feedback. Keep up good work Dave....any chance of serving up FS5 vs FS7 with respect to recorders and RAW?
Great info thanks :)
Nice video dave Thanks ..! will you be doing a video on new 5D MK iv ?
Nice! One thing though: use your tripod collar on your 70-200, hahah freaks me out when I see its being used on the camera. Really good review, thanks!
thanks bro, perfectly explain
thanks for your insight Dave. I'm still hoping for an A7iii hybrid with A7rii AF and A7sii video functions + finally 4k with 50p haha One can still dream, right :D
I wish!
Agree 100% I have the same set up /..A7r M11 brilliant amazing and surprising
I hadn't seen any of your vids for a while, no particular reason but that of not having the time, but your quality has definately increased since last year. lovin it. I'm finally thinking of changing up my now very outdated gear, but really don't have the monies to do it, so gonna have to save a lot. hahahaha. I think I'll finally decide to buy a sony A series camera, although I'm coming from Nikon for photo and panasonic Cams for video, I have also begun shooting video with the Nikon (D7000) to be precise and I must admit it's not at all bad, especially using my old manual AE lenses. Love em to bits. But I think it's time to move on for video quality... Panasonic Vcams (AC130 + TM700) just won't cut it any longer. unfortunately. Althoug I'm not complaining, I got a good run for my monies on both cameras. Anyway enough ranting on, back to your vids, Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge and expertise, helps me keep up with what's going on in the world of video and photo. Also for introducing me to Matt's channel, awesome stuff. Gonna be binging on yours and Matt's for a bit.
Have a great day
Remo Fiore thanks! Welcome back.
As a still photographer the only issue I have with my A7Rll is **REMEMBERING** to go back to FF when I've been shooting in Super35 video mode, as a stills professional, that can ruin your day when busy/rushed and pressed for time. I wish there was a BIG YELLOW warning in the EVF when the camera is set to Super35, and a programmable button option would be nice too! Thanks for the review! ~Chris
So true! I wish Sony would allow us to assign the crop mode to a C button, that would help a ton!
Just make sure your crop sensor icon is turned on. 😏
Hey mate can you do a tutorial on sound recording for interviews. Your workflow, equipment break down, problems you encounter etc. I would gladly buy a tutorial on that one.
i love this channel
Was using the a6300 before I just got a new a7sii, and to be honest like Dave, I find myself opting for the better auto focus over low light performance. I'm now thinking about selling my a7sii buying a 2nd a6300 and have €2,000 to play with!
ISO 6400 + is very common when you shoot indoor video, consider that you require shutter speed of 1/50 or more to minimize motion blurr.
For A7Sii, If all you had was a 90mm 2.8 macro prime, what would be your pick for next lens for video?
Thank you!
Mr Philip Bloom ESQ says always turn the sharpness down of A7S to avoid issues... interested if you have tried this to see what effect you get on the moire issue.
Thanks a lot for this video. I was looking to buy either A7R II or A7S II but I wasn't sure which one but moving more towards the A7R II because of the 42MP for stills.
About the 4k shooting in Apsc mode, do you mostly record in camera or externally?
Do you mostly use Sony lenses of Canon and others via adapters? Thanks.
Thanks for the info! Do you have to put it in crop mode if shooting in 1080 on the a7r ii?
Dave, what are you using for your background? Are you using a greenscreen and then making it black? or do you have a black backdrop? If so is it paper or cloth and how far away from it are you? Thanks. I love the fact that you are using a black background that blends with the side black bars of UA-cam when in Theatre mode. Makes your video look like it's in Super widescreen.
Question here.
Dave Said:
"Slog2 starts at ISO 800 for the a7Rii while the a7Sii starts at ISO 1600"
Since this is the case for the starting ISO for for Slog2 for each camera,
what does one do in the situation when (with the a7s ii for example) you
start at 1600 ISO and its overexposing the highlights in the frame (highlights
that you can't control)?
Do you all just carry around an ND filter to ensure you're not blowing out the HLs?
It's a bummer the a7s ii starts so darn high with its ISO.
What do you do personally to keep from blowing out the HLs?
Cheers.
We miss you, Dave.
Howdy Dave, I just saw that you have a GH4 course. On your store page it says not to buy it if you have a GH3 or older camera, but what about a G7 shooter? Is there enough relevant material to make it worth a purchase? I know it won't apply when it comes to some of the settings like Master Pedestal or V-Log but they are fairly similar cameras.
I'm still with the GH4. As you're familiar with the GH4... would you say it's definitly worth for you personally tradining in the compactness, battery life and pricing of the system for the fullframe capability of the A7RII? I'm not sure myself. An A7 body is rather pricey and I'd like to keep things compact... using fullframe glass just isn't (or with plenty of native cheap options). I don't really mind the crop and reduced shallow depth of field of Micro Four Thirds that much... because you can work around it... what does kinda bother me is the lack of flexbility in sub-optimal lighting conditions (noise levels) and the so-so stills quality (that's why I shoot stills with the Nikon D5300). I wish there was something interesting APS-C wise, but there isn't really for me, so I'm hoping the GH5 or E-M1mkII offer any surprises... else I might just have to take the plunge and go A7RII, unless they decide to launch the A7RIII already, or a non-overheating reduced rolling shutter A6400 without color issues.
Hi Dave, love your videos. I am currently shooting on a 6D and I'm considering upgrading. I can't decide between the FF Sony and the m43 GH5. In your opinion, which will be the easier transition for someone who loves grading and shooting video?
You're making me want to swap out the A7S II for the A7R II
Do you not run into any overheating issues with the A7Rii?
Thanks Dave. I always enjoy your videos.
Any difference with audio? Does the A7r have any less video features like audio level controls, audio quality, access to features while recording, zebras, or white balance?
for clarity: ...access to menu adjustments while recording? I would love to be able to enter the menu while recording, though I do appreciate that the quick menu is available during recording.
This is great. Thanks Dave! Hey I might have missed it - are you ever doing a look at the FS5? Or is it too big for your liking?
I did a video where I used that camera comparing 8bit vs 10bit.
Oh i've heard you talk about that on a podcast. I'll check it out. Thanks!
Currently shooting on the Canon 5dmiii and looking at switching to the A7rii for 4K and photos. I mainly shoot photos, about 85% of the time. Should I get an adapter to use with my 24-105f4L lens and my Tamron 70-200 f2.8 lens or should I just look at completely going to native lenses on the Sony? Thanks for your video. This really helped me lock down the rii vs the sii.
OK the main issue with this video. When you say the A7Sii is better in high ISO....you are comparing 42MP vs 12MP. You need to be comparing at the same size for an apples to apples comparison. When you do that, they are comparable up to 51200 ISO which is a LOT higher than I would normally go.
There are several tests showing this, for example the one by B&H. Go to 3:30 on this video to see it:
ua-cam.com/video/n8pksExD_64/v-deo.html
The only real reason to pick up the A7Sii over the A7Rii is if your absolute goal is to use for Video.
Nice video, as always! You really emphasize the better performance of the a7R in terms of moiré, to the point you won't use the a7S in 4K for a sit-down interview. Is there such a big difference? I've seen other people comparing these two cameras (like "Michael the Maven" in his "5 things to know" video) and he says that both cameras produce moiré and perform similarly in that field... What do you think?
Like I said in the video there is only a very slight difference, I think most people have not noticed it, I have have been using both of these cameras for a long time so it took me a while to finally notice it.
Dave Dugdale - Hmm... Ok. Just one more question: if I understood correctly, the a7S will only shoot 4k in FF mode, while the a7R is able to shoot 4k in both modes, but for some reason will perform better in crop mode. Is it wise to invest in a camera of this price to shoot aps-c when you could buy an a6300 or the new a6500 for that purpose and save a lot of cash?
A7R II - This camera I really like for the photo. But you can still make films on it (as in the movements in the film, well, at the level of Blackmagica, you can achieve the same picture)? What lenses to consider? and yet about the lenses of the Xeen Cine lines that you know? ... Thank you!
Thanks for sharing with us Dave. So you use a7Rii the most. Just curious which lens do you use most with your a7Rii and why?
the 18-105mm, because it is decent quality and covers what I need for general shooting.
Hi Dave, I'm wondering why you choose to use the A7RII for your wide shots, and the A7SII for your tight shots for interviews. It seems counter-intuitive to me because of the crop on the R2, vs the full frame on the SII.
But it makes perfect sense to use your 4K camera for the wide shot (Dave doesn't seem to trust the 4K on the A7Sii) and use the 1080p camera on the close up (where being very sharp can even be detrimental). If you have the right wide angle lens, the crop is no issue.
Dave, how much do you use the a6500 relative to either of these full frame cameras now (June 2017)?
Should I not even consider the A72? I want something for video... I have the original A7 and I find the quality isn't great for video with the old codec and I thought I could turn my 55mm into an 85mm with the APS-C crop-mode but the imperfections are just magnified... I thought the S was the one for video and the R was for photography and now I'm second guessing everything!
Hi Dave! From your experience is the A7S better for video and the A7R better for photography?
Thank you for you videos!!!
Yes, absolutely
Video: A7S ii
Stills: A7R ii
For both: A99 ii - (even tho I don't think it'll have better video quality/cinematic look then A7s ii )
I wish I can buy an A7RII. Unfortunately for me it's sold out everywhere and I'm forced to wait until their inventory fixes itself.
Would love to know your thoughts on Sony A7x vs Panasonic GH4 (soon to be GH5). GH4 way cheaper than A7x and I've heard better menus/usability on GH4. Is quality of A7x worth the price premium?
Dave! Can I have your advice which dslr to buy for video at the moment? I'm leaning towards the gh5, but I really want that shallow depth of field so may be ff is smarter? Thanks again.
Any ideas of when the A7r iii is gonna be announced?? I'm holding out for that!
+chris price sorry no idea
today
So what happens when you shoot 4K Full Frame with The A7Rii?
Is there a video that shows why he doesn’t like shooting in that mode?
Dave i am in a indecisive fix, help me out- With A7R ii, which lens adapter (Canon to Sony) is best suited specifically for VIDEOGRAPHY purposes? Would Metabones give good results in video too as it is said to give for photographs? And MERRY CHRISTMAS !! many good wishes to you and your family.. Happy Clicking..
Hello from georgia, I have a slight problem and hopefully you can help me out with it.
I am a film director and was waiting for the new Canon 5D Mark IV to come out. After it was released, I checked the features of the camera and read and watched some reviews, including yours, so I realized it is not exactly what I wanted and expected it to be. Therefore, I decided to buy Sony a7s II, Although I think Sony does not have such a variety of lenses and Zeiss Lens for Sony E Mount cost too expensive. So I decided I will buy the Zeiss Normal Lens for Canon Mount and use it with my Sony.
Although the problem is:
1. I Can not find a good adaptor, which in case of using auto focus, will not slow the autofocus. Do you by any chance know, what is the best adaptor I could find for it ?
2. Do you know if the Adaptors leak any light ?
3. I need the nd Fliter while using the s-L- Log , So can you recommend which of these adaptors with a Variable nd Fliter on the following links would be better ? Or is there any, you could recommend? Do you think it is better to buy variable Nd Filter separately and the adaptor Separately ?
Adaptor links:

Hope for your help,
I really appreciate your time,
Thank you in advance
why 7s ii ? 7R ii can't video
i currently have the gh4 for video and nikon d750 for photos... still debating selling both for the hybrid a7rii... i just hate that you arent supposed to shoot full frame 4k. I dont even know what lenses I would get shooting cropped in
Hey Dave, just curious on your opinion on this matter and I don't know if you have address this in another video before: don't you miss the colors that Canon gives vs Sony? I have a 6D and a Sony A6000. I really like the DR that Sony gives, but I keep falling back to the Canon just because I really enjoy the colors I get from it and I'm no colorist so it's not so easy to match Sony's colors to Canon's. I've been considering going FF on Sony but the image from Canon I enjoy it more.. anyway, I really enjoyed your video ;)
I'm wanting to buy the A7Rii but that's what I have noticed with many still photos is that the color just seems noticeably better with cannon or even Nikon cameras when it comes to stills which has stopped me from making a purchase of either so far but I think I'm leaning to a canon just b/c video is not that important to me, they're basically just my personal family videos.
If you talk to anybody that is on the industry level in film they will tell you Sony's color science is better than canon. I however think it's subjective
I think you've been looking at the wrong pictures lol DaleSavage i've taken tones of pictures that have blown many of Quote on Quote Canon pros out of the water. I really think its about mastering your gear and your post workflow on that note.
sony colors are not the same as canon colors because the sensor 's are made from different materials
s-Start learning colorgrading and you will forget about the 6D. Shooting in S-Log gives you so much creative freedom and power.
QUESTION: How is the 4K crop mode of the a7 R II compared to the 4K 24p of the a6300 / a6500??? Also, how good is the image quality (both 4K video and stills) of the a7 R II if you use an APS-C lens on it? (Specifically, the Sony 10-18 OSS lens). I understand the stills will only be around 20mp or so with a crop sensor lens on it, but would the stills quality be the same as the a6300 / a6500 with the 10-18 lens on it, too?
Hi. Magnificent your video I am an admirer of you.
I have a question. In the a7rii when panning the image vibrates a lot. Is there a way to eliminate that? Do you know about that? I always shoot 24fp 100M 4k / 50. Thank you very much for your good work.
I agree
So what do you think its better to wait the A7s3?
thanks for this video! I have a a7rii, when you shoot high ISO video (above 3200 or so) do you still use Slog or do you keep creative stiles or maybe cine4 profiles? I have found Slog to be noisy in the shadows when high iso is used.
Thanks!
I normally don't shoot in slog if the scene is very dark and does not have a large dynamic range to it, so mostly I use a CS like standard.
I think its just a personal thing you use the 7Rii most - because you do a lot of personal photography (which the 7Sii could easily do anyway).
The 7Sii is a better videocamera. The S-Gamut3.cine gives much more pleasing colors then the traditional S-Gamut3 of the 7Rii.
7Sii does lovely 120fps in clear 1080p. The 7Rii does ugly 720p = not usable in my mind.
Beautiful Fullframe 4K as the only camera on the planet. And if you want more reach just use Clear Image Zoom.
The problem with the 7Rii is the crop mode. To effectively use the 7Rii it you have to have two sets of glass: fullframe AND S35/APS-C. With the 7Sii you can invest in all fullframe glass.
12mp is enough for a camera - i do professional photography. Do i want 20mp and have a oversampled image.. Sure! But 42mp. That is too much. I don't need it. I would have to print 10m high image and stand 1m from it to use it fully.
So i still think the 7Sii as a videocamera is better. And the 7Rii is a better stillscamera.
спасибо вам
Hey Dave, do canon ef lenses attached to the sony a7rii with a metabones speed adapter work with autofocus for video? Or do you have to use Sony lenses for video autofocus?
Seeing as you are a photographer I can see why you would prefer the R2 vs S2 .. tons more detail in the still area. However if you automatically shoot the R2 video in APSC mode you are basically taking it to within 6 megapixels of the S2 . I would say the metabones adaptability is by far a more important attribute for the R2 .. If you are using Canon glass I would want some sort of maintenance of the auto focus features of the R2 rather than throwing those attributes away simply to use Canon glass. You published this close to a year ago... do you still primarily shoot video with the R2... That is really not the norm from what I can find here.
is your case of A7Sii, maybe A6300 is better choice
Hi! Does it possible to turn on focus picking output to the external monitor on the A7R II?
When shooting with the A7Rii, 4k, crop mode are you using APS-C lenses. Also when taking the footage into Premiere is it still the same frame size just cropped in?
I use both FF and crop lens in that mode. As for your other question which I am not sure I understand, but if you shoot in 4k it will be 4k in PPro when you bring it in.
Which camera would be best to shoot an indoor high school basketball game, from up in the stands at center court, and which lens?
mlong30 both would work the same in that lighting unless you needed 120fps at 1080.
Dave, what's your opinion on the color science in these cameras? In my experience it's not very accurate and the skin tones are always off or just plain ugly. I use a blackmagic cinema camera 2.5K, which is a lot more gradable. Sony tends to fall apart
+Max Huisman not as good as Canon's colors.
