There is one big difference! The a77ii got XAVC-S Recording and better autofocus with software update 2.0. And also for sports photography its miles better, since you can shoot 24mp raw images at 12 fps, rather than low quality jpegs with a 2x crop at 8fps. I own the predecessor of the a68 the a58 and it shows how much better the a77 is in terms of software features. Oh i also forgot that the a77ii has eye autofocus too.
Really enjoyed the video. Have got an old Minolta Dynax 9 and was looking for a Sony DSLR that I could use with the lenses. It looks like my options are an A68 or an A 77ii so your opinion is really worth while.
Hello! Your vids are wonderful, thank you for the effort you put ino these, I was wondering if you still have the A77ii in your possesion and if you are willing to sell by any chance? Finding it hard to locate a body only seller as I have loads of A mount Sony/Minolta glass. Long shot but I thought I'd ask!
What do you prefer for me? I am a student and doesn't have so much money. So my question is whether it is worth investing in the a77ii. Or whether the a68 is sufficient. It is important to me that I can use higher iso from time to time and that it is definitely good. Maybe you can tell me if the a77ii is much better.
If you require high iso then neither the A68 or A77ii will be of any use as they are not good at high iso in fact I would not use either above 800iso. You will need a more modern sensor something released within the last 2yrs.
Because you don’t get a sense of the depth of field without stopping down the lens to the aperture you are planning to use as the live view and evf are only showing the image with the aperture wide open.
@@GrandadsReviews So the SLT EVF didn’t operate as the mirrorless EVFs do? Even back in the NEX 7 days (shared sensor as a77 and a65), the EVF behaved as do modern mirrorless camera EVFs, where the live view uses the selected aperture in real time and not wide open, as did SLRs/DSLRs. I’ve never handled a DSLT, but I thought they were a good stopgap between mirrorless and DSLR, achieving fast autofocus due to the PD plane + mirror, while also having the convenience of a mirrorless camera in the form of an accurate live view.
@@LeoNatan All cameras SLR/DSLR or mirrorless use full open aperture to give you live view it’s only when you take a shot that the the camera closes down the aperture or on some cameras when you half press the shutter button and if you engage the depth of field preview.
@@GrandadsReviews Mirrorless cameras do not open the aperture, by default, that is not correct. The only exception is when using a flash. I have a Sony mirrorless camera with me right now, and the aperture closes in real time, as set by the camera, even at f22. This is also true for Panasonic, Nikon and Canon mirrorless cameras.
@@LeoNatan what mode are you in as all the cameras I have owned over 40yrs of photography have metered and displayed at open aperture with the aperture only closing down when taking the image in video it's different
A very good comparison. I don't care about frame rates. Do you think that one could change the view panel from the A77II over to the A68, if I could get one from a broken A77II? Would it be possible from a pure mechanical point? I can't believe they use different electrical adapters inside. Can you see any electrical cables? Thank you in advance.

I love the quality in this video :) Very pleasing to the eye and the content is very informative. Keep up the great work!
Nicely done!
Looking forward to seeing your A68 vs A77ii AF comparison.
I never knew a68 ever released, at least here in Indonesia. I'v never heard about that camera. Thanks for your short video.

Thanks for the review that was pretty useful

Hi thank you for your comment unfortunately I have sold my A77 and have a A200 now plus a Minolta 7D
Hey there. I know you sold off the A68 already but did you know if the A68 allowed for mic level adjustment during video recording?
Hi you can’t adjust the levels while recording only before you start recording
@@GrandadsReviews awesome. Thank you very much 👍🏼

@@GrandadsReviews So are the a68 and the a77ii comparable in terms of the sensor? Or is there a difference to be seen.
@@tjarkgrueneklee1981 same sensor in both.
These cameras being DSLT, with constant live view in EVF and screen, why would they need a DoF preview button?
Because you don’t get a sense of the depth of field without stopping down the lens to the aperture you are planning to use as the live view and evf are only showing the image with the aperture wide open.

Do you still use A-mount lenses regularly?
Hi yes I use my A mount lenses most times I go out to take images or video.
David Hoult Interested in a Tokina 11-16mm 2.8 for your A68? I am going to be selling mine on eBay soon. I am switching systems unfortunately.
André Lousada, Conductor thank you for the offer but no I don’t need one.
@@andrelousada is this still available
@@mra.b7406 Yes it is!!! :)

I can’t see any electrical cables I believe they are in the hinge but yes it could be possible if you are willing to give it a go.
Are you going to sell any one of them
Already sold the A68 didn’t need both.
Where is the image quality comparison video?
Nice job anyway.
Unfortunately I didn't get chance to do that test before I had to sell my Sony gear due to financial reasons.
@@GrandadsReviews ok, your videos was helpful anyway. Thanks!
Thanks for Arabic translation
And I need a goog viewfinder.
