as a measurement technician and PC nerd that alsom happens to be a photographer and camera nerd, I can only get a smile when I hear that camera heat dissipation testing is getting a team such as Gamers Nexus to help get the proper methodology and good testing practices. I am nothing BUT hyped for that !
I was scrolling down m subscriptions looking for your review on this and almost gave up and went to the next best thing. You're always the first person i go to for reviews, it's just quick and concise, your video can be 20+ minutes and it still doesn't seem dragged
Yes, this makes sense! Sometimes, over producing things is not necessary and it just brings in more stress! I'm glad Gerald found this new, more joyful format! ❤️
A script of some sort is needed. Even cue cards. Otherwise you will sound very unscripted and bounce all over the place, taking too much time in the video. Being a natural talking with an outline to keep you on track is a wonderful gift. Kinda like adlibbing yet staying on track.
I've had only a handful of different epochs of youtubers over the last 15 years that I could watch and relax... and feel really de-stressed and calm... thanks Gerald 👍
Ah, Gerald, I love how off the cuff the intro is, and how uniquely Geraldesque you blend top notch video, audio and informational quality with a bit of a "I’m confused by this new set" vibe :D Been looking forward for the official announcement of these cameras and I’m glad to see you got to make a review. Yours is the first I clicked on. =) And btw: glad to see you’re back to making videos after moving studios!
I really like the new studio setup with the notes and the new table! + the 3rd detail camera shot. Although I don't like the camera 2 setup with the "guest chair". It kinda throws me off, because nobody is sitting there so I don't know where to look. I get to see more of the room, but the framing is so different to the talking head cam that it feels very "empty". Maybe change the position if you don't have a guest so it matches better. Keep it up!
finished the video. Seeing the empty chair made me exspect you got a guest, but you didn't. Maybe I'm the only one, but I would have prefered a table with a fake plant or something else instead. (of course if you have a guest you could use the chair)
Yes, absolutely jarring. Overall, I like the new studio space (though I think I prefer the deeper, more complex shot of the old place, but might just take some getting used to), but that angle was so weird and threw me off every time. The composition is just so awkward without a guest here, the TV is just not in the right position for the "Let's pixel peep together" - which is probably why it ended up not being used for it - and I feel my eyes have to dart around, finding what to look at, every time. Nothing but love for Gerald though, I am sure it will be worked out as the new setup evolves.
Just a note, the front dial is a massive improvement on the A7C which doesn't have one, and as an A7C owner that's one of the camera's biggest drawbacks for me. Very excited for this!
made me flow so much better when I set up my back dail to be aperture, with the native iso button and the main dail for shutter made me think all the buttons on the other camera are redundant given I wasn't changing setting too often for portraits and when shooting videos
Great job on the video Gerald! Thanks for making it. I liked this format. I know it will only get better the more you become used to your new studio space. I dig the front shot where we see just the corner of the tv and the mic pointed out towards the guest chair. And what a nice angle for your product showcase shot.
If that chair there would be for special guests, I hope we see someone like Camera Conspiracies some time. Been watching you for years and I always love these new camera tests. Thank you for all you do with these!
I would very much enjoy the very nerdy camera heating tests with Steve and crew. One thing I'd be interested in is how much having a monitor connected to the HDMI ports affects things. At least for me if I'm running cameras for a long time (2+ hours) it's for streaming with HDMI capture cards and that's where cameras tend to overheat for me.
Im a Canon R5C user, switched from Sony a few years ago (last Sony I had was A7RII, shot stills and 4K video with it) and it seems like they've improved so many things! I'm considering one of these compact cameras as an everyday carry. Although the specs seem quite similar to the R5C, I'm looking for something with less bulk. Thanks for the review!
Thanks Gerald for a great review on these new platforms. I don't think either one is in my current "wish list" however, I very much appreciate your knowledge, experience and "hands on" review of both of these cameras. Well done!
Great reviews! The new lens looks great and improves on it's predecessor in almost every function. The A7CR is a great compact camera and packs 61 megapixels of resolution into a very small form factor, an ideal camera for hiking, cycling or general touring.
Gerald, excellent reviews as always. I love the new studio and you are managing it way better than I would (I struggle with one camera!). I just ordered the A74 (arrives tomorrow), (had the A7C but sold it for the A74) thinking I was going use that as my primary hybrid camera and would look at the A7Cii as the backup camera (I like the lightweight for travel!). Now, one of the things I shoot is the Sony 200-600mm lens for wildlife and that small A7C was just too small when using it. Now, on my Tamron 28-75mm (the largest thing I use with it), I was fine. I now have some options to think about! Keep the A74 and get the A7Cii for travel. Or, send back the A74, get the Sony A7RV for my primary (because of educators discount I can get the A7RV for $3300) and then the A7Cii as the travel/B camera. Or, crazy, probably, but get both the A7Cii and the A7Cr?
I would love to see some thermal testing with GN. Living in Arizona, it's really tough to figure out what's going to be able to meet needs. Obviously I don't expect to be able to record outside here with the camera body in direct sunlight very long, but we routinely have ambient temperatures in the shade of 110+ and even at night, it can easily still be over 100 for several hours.
Great video Gerald! My one comment is that, as a hybrid Sony shooter, I find it so annoying that they keep releasing cameras that feel slightly incomplete (cropped/binned 4K, rolling shutter, 4.2.2 in some modes, 4.2.0 in others, etc) instead of just completing the camera, even at higher price points (A7RV). I also find it inexcusable that they don’t update firmware on already released cameras. That tells me that they see their customers as a dollar sign, rather than as a community. Hoping someone from Sony reads this ✌🏼
I love the new set and vibe. The microphone and second chair has a very tonight show kind of vibe. One’s mileage may vary, but you may want to consider having a static logo on the screen when it’s not being reference. It definitely pulled my focus a few times. Again, YMMV Keep up the great work! I’m not even a Sony user, but I enjoy your videos.
Thanks for the TL;DR on the cameras, Gerald. As someone using the a6400 and currently shopping for the A7IV, I might just wait until the A7CII is locally available. Also: new studio setup looks neat! Would love to see Potato Jet on the guest chair :)
So hyped that Gerald showed back up on the feed. The new setup was a little jarring because I was just watching the FX3 video. The studio was different but the Gerald was the same, so I found it useful and strangely entertaining as always. The guest chair needs a purple pillow, maybe with a sequin face in it.
Another great review and loving the new studio setup too! I really like the idea of the A7Cii but for me, I own two A7iV (plus a third as a backup) for shooting weddings, I can't see a time where I would really benefit from what it offers. Doesn't stop me wanting one though, it's new and shiny, of course I want one! Or, do I want the A7CR as that's different with its mega sensor.... I don't need either, but I want both!
Congratulations on the new studio. I’d prefer the rear screen off or out of view on the tight shot. The 441 mike for guests is a classic piece of equipment.
Your content is always great man. I have to say I think the new setup (especially the wide TV angle) immediately made it look like you were on a green screen and like the TV side was part of a set extension, and the flat framing of that shot looks very much like a low budget public television talkshow broadcast. Side angle was great. And functionally, it's very cool. Just commenting in the interest of giving test reactions! :)
Off topic.. but your comment reminds me.. your Gamers Nexus studio tour was the best one of those videos you have done.. Great Channel.. love Your gear reviews..
Funny to see that Gerald uses the same background video on the TV as me on some of my videos 😂 Thanks for the video and I'm looking forward for the studio tour.
Finally. I've been waiting to upgrade from the a7c, the added slomo and breathing comp are going to be great. I also like that they moved the port up, the USB and HDMI were too close together and kinda fiddly. Also hopefully it has the streaming prompt once you plug it in, which I really wanted.
Heyyy, Gerald! Love from Malaysia recently discovered your channel and gotta say kudos on your constant effort to always prep well for your videos and excecute it smoothly if you're ever in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia :)) Jordan Gautier
Solid as always Gerald. At this point, a new camera comes out.... I see what Gerald thinks... then I buy or don't buy. A7Cii is gonna be my new A-Cam (and only camera). Stoked for the smaller setup out in the mountains.
Ha! That Sennheiser to your right, I used to sing through it in the 70's... Great videonas always, looking forwsrd to digging into the new studio setup
I've always said you were always like the Gamers Nexus of camera tech UA-camr to me, and look at what's happening now. Love it. Any chance any of the 1080p modes are oversampled from a higher resolution?
I do like that now Sony and Canon have grip extensions, I wish the other camera makers would follow suit. I also think it'd be really neat if they made an battery that was physically longer (i.e. extended height and capacity) to make use of the extra space that otherwise goes to waste under the battery door, if you're likely to just keep the grip on all the time anyway
This makes me excited for the a7 V and maybe we can get an a7s IV in the next twelve months? That new 16-35 is exciting. I’ve come to really rely on the aperture ring on the lens. Love that for video.
Great video Gerald, you're always first watch with new releases. And if only Sony would update the a7IV with these new video features, like LUT support, it wouldn't feel like I’m wasting my money with buying new camera bodies..
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?
Love the style and format of the video! Currently using the A7C alongside my extensive Canon setup with a 35 GM as my "Sony experiment"; Canon sensors have issues with vertical bloom when using mechanical shutters, exposing blue LEDs as purple and some of their lenses produce a bit more flare when I have backlit situations whereas Sony excels in these areas. Seriously considering the A7C II for the IBIS improvements as I don't shoot with the viewfinder and the UVC HDMI support but will have to look into whether the sensor will be a better option vs the A7C for dynamic range and low noise at high ISO (6400-12800). Additional grip option is a great feature if I want to shoot with this more seriously with Canon lenses via a Metabones adapter as they become front heavy. Is there any improvement in anti-flicker when shooting under LED lights with PWM dimming with the A7 IV/C II vs. the A7 III/A7C? I am encountering more and more of these situations as time goes on, especially when shooting live music. The primary benefit of the A7C form factor is I can take it with me a lot more easily than the Canon (their new GM lenses are also smaller and lighter than the Canon RF L variants) and as such, it's less imposing for my subjects - and the silver colour adds to that deprecation of "seriousness" when doing street photography. Now if only there was an 85 1.2 GM....
Love your vids, thanks. Feedback - Sounds like you're recording the sound in a very small room/box.....to much bass I'm thinking which doesn't sound natural.
I feel like I'll be waiting for an a7R6 or other full size but that's only because I just picked up an a6700 for compact and I love it. I'm glad the C series is being maintained as an option for folks who want a FF sensor in a smaller body. As for the lens I've never really wanted a 16-35 but maybe I'm just not the right target. If I'm working at those sizes I much prefer a prime lens. Once again, glad for folks that don't want to purchase a 15, 24, and 35 GM but I just really don't like zoom lenses at such small lengths.
Gerald...thanks for your review -- solid as always and the new set looks great. The GM IIs are worth it especially if you're carrying a camera all day with the lens for say weddings or even sporting events. Your body will thank you!
nice work as always. would like to know if you have done video on filming with no picture profile and in creative mode on the sony a7iv and sony a7s3 and if that will have a dual iso and how to expose correctly? if not could you please?
That front dial/scroll wheel on the grip is not carried over from the A7C, thats new and very welcome. I use the A7C when out and about/ traveling more than my A7Riv, the biggest miss is that front dial on the grip, really pleased to see it on the examples you have in this video. 10 bit video woohoo! I can see the upgrade being a no-brainer from the A7C to the A7C II but not so sure about the A7CR. I use my A7Riv when I need the reliability and reassurance of the two card slots. The A7CR gives that up so I would pass on it. ...Nice new set - very Late Late Show ;-) - Nice humble opening too - keep it going mate
as a measurement technician and PC nerd that alsom happens to be a photographer and camera nerd, I can only get a smile when I hear that camera heat dissipation testing is getting a team such as Gamers Nexus to help get the proper methodology and good testing practices.
I am nothing BUT hyped for that !
Using the TV to assess overheating/record times with face tracking is a genius idea
The definitive camera review channel!
Hands down
Wasn't expecting the show host desk and guest start chair, I'm so ready for the new Gerald Undone content that must be coming soon!!!
*fingers crossed* for Conan O'Brien as first guest.
I was scrolling down m subscriptions looking for your review on this and almost gave up and went to the next best thing. You're always the first person i go to for reviews, it's just quick and concise, your video can be 20+ minutes and it still doesn't seem dragged
Am I the only one that loves this unscripted video style from Gerald? It feels more “real” if that makes any sense.
Totally agree it shows how good he is! Trust me from a UA-camr this is so hard!
Yes, this makes sense! Sometimes, over producing things is not necessary and it just brings in more stress! I'm glad Gerald found this new, more joyful format! ❤️
natural*
A script of some sort is needed. Even cue cards. Otherwise you will sound very unscripted and bounce all over the place, taking too much time in the video. Being a natural talking with an outline to keep you on track is a wonderful gift. Kinda like adlibbing yet staying on track.
I like a bit of both tbh.
Dude, I am absolutely loving the "late night" studio setup. So excited to see what sort of content you're able to make in the future.
Man, I always dig your reviews. Thorough, thoughtful, and no slo-mo B.S. on skateboards or pouring coffee. Thanks.
😂 agree ..
I've had only a handful of different epochs of youtubers over the last 15 years that I could watch and relax... and feel really de-stressed and calm... thanks Gerald 👍

(of course if you have a guest you could use the chair)
Was thinking the same thing !
I laughed every time I switched to that view. I think it's hilarious but makes zero sense as a serious angle when there's no guest
Yes, absolutely jarring.

If you don't know where to look at, why did you click on the video?
You look at the host and/or the product he is reviewing.

Love the new studio! Great to hear your thoughts on the new gear as always.
Loving the new desk! Looking forward to the tour VOD.
It was great seeing you at Kando and this was an excellent amount of information, thanks for that.
Good in-depth overview. Thanks
Great info here, Gerald! As always thanks for being so open and honest.
Great breakdown as always! Lots of stuff all at once for sure! Nice new space!
Congrats to 400k!
You're always the first for me in a new camera day!
Digging then new setup Gerald. Thanks for the video
Five million videos on these two cameras in my feed, this is the only one I need to watch. Nice job.
Congrats for the new studio. You are the guy!
Gerald, excellent reviews as always. I love the new studio and you are managing it way better than I would (I struggle with one camera!).

Love the new setup!! I will copy it for my studio. Thanks.
Digging the new setup mate, can't wait to see the studio tour.
Great video Gerald! My one comment is that, as a hybrid Sony shooter, I find it so annoying that they keep releasing cameras that feel slightly incomplete (cropped/binned 4K, rolling shutter, 4.2.2 in some modes, 4.2.0 in others, etc) instead of just completing the camera, even at higher price points (A7RV).

+1 as an A7SIII owner annoyed that my $4k camera isn't getting firmware updates.
Love the new setup! Can’t wait to see how you use it!
Loving this new setup Conan
Love this format and the new studio!
Really like the new set. Clean and unique. And thanks fir the run-through of the new gear. It's getting more and more tempting to jump from my apsc.
I love the new set and vibe. The microphone and second chair has a very tonight show kind of vibe.
One’s mileage may vary, but you may want to consider having a static logo on the screen when it’s not being reference. It definitely pulled my focus a few times. Again, YMMV
Keep up the great work! I’m not even a Sony user, but I enjoy your videos.
great setup, looks like some sort of talkshow with the nice chair. love it!
Like the new format, Gerald!
Great review as always. Interesting new set. Yes to thermal heating tests with GN
Thanks for the TL;DR on the cameras, Gerald. As someone using the a6400 and currently shopping for the A7IV, I might just wait until the A7CII is locally available.
Also: new studio setup looks neat! Would love to see Potato Jet on the guest chair :)
Wow… you are an excellent presenter delivering a huge amount of useful information… as always. Thanks for sharing!
So hyped that Gerald showed back up on the feed. The new setup was a little jarring because I was just watching the FX3 video. The studio was different but the Gerald was the same, so I found it useful and strangely entertaining as always.
The guest chair needs a purple pillow, maybe with a sequin face in it.
Even though it's a gear review... I'm genuinely excited everytime you upload:))
Another great review and loving the new studio setup too! I really like the idea of the A7Cii but for me, I own two A7iV (plus a third as a backup) for shooting weddings, I can't see a time where I would really benefit from what it offers. Doesn't stop me wanting one though, it's new and shiny, of course I want one! Or, do I want the A7CR as that's different with its mega sensor.... I don't need either, but I want both!
Congratulations on the new studio. I’d prefer the rear screen off or out of view on the tight shot. The 441 mike for guests is a classic piece of equipment.
Thank you so much for reviewing the lens, Gerald. I thought maybe it didn't get released based on the other UA-camrs videos out there.
Fantastic new setup!
Your content is always great man. I have to say I think the new setup (especially the wide TV angle) immediately made it look like you were on a green screen and like the TV side was part of a set extension, and the flat framing of that shot looks very much like a low budget public television talkshow broadcast. Side angle was great. And functionally, it's very cool. Just commenting in the interest of giving test reactions! :)
Could be lighting related.
Off topic.. but your comment reminds me.. your Gamers Nexus studio tour was the best one of those videos you have done.. Great Channel.. love Your gear reviews..
Funny to see that Gerald uses the same background video on the TV as me on some of my videos 😂 Thanks for the video and I'm looking forward for the studio tour.
loving the new set. you should add a news esque intro and stack the paper notes on the table haha
Finally. I've been waiting to upgrade from the a7c, the added slomo and breathing comp are going to be great. I also like that they moved the port up, the USB and HDMI were too close together and kinda fiddly. Also hopefully it has the streaming prompt once you plug it in, which I really wanted.
Also I'm so glad this was up right away, your reviews are all I need to get a good idea.
loving the new setup! The a7c2 looks like a little beast!
Love the new studio!
Gerald..!! hah,, glad to see new content from ya,, very nice table btw.. looks like your a talk show host now ; )
Nice job. As a landscape photographer whose #1 used lens is the 16-35, definitely worth the upgrade. Thanks for making me spend more money.
Been considering picking up a Sony camera. These are tempring.
Can’t wait to see the new studio!!!!
Heyyy, Gerald! Love from Malaysia
recently discovered your channel and gotta say kudos on your constant effort to always prep well for your videos and excecute it smoothly
if you're ever in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia :))
Jordan Gautier
Love the new "New Desk" looking setup!
I like the desk. Curious to see the new studio setup
nice studio setup! I like it!!
I'm pretty happy for the 16-35 as I didn't buy into the first one but have developed a greater need for the focal range.
Chair next to desk ... Are we having the late night show with Gerald Undone?
Late Night with Canon O’Brien
Cool! Thanks for sharing it. ✌️
I absolutly love the checking done things on the "skript"
Solid as always Gerald. At this point, a new camera comes out.... I see what Gerald thinks... then I buy or don't buy. A7Cii is gonna be my new A-Cam (and only camera). Stoked for the smaller setup out in the mountains.

I love the md-441, this mic is awesome. I don't quite get the secondary framing including the empty chair though 😆
I love the new setup! Looks like you are all set up for a guest like you are a late night host too.
I do like that now Sony and Canon have grip extensions, I wish the other camera makers would follow suit. I also think it'd be really neat if they made an battery that was physically longer (i.e. extended height and capacity) to make use of the extra space that otherwise goes to waste under the battery door, if you're likely to just keep the grip on all the time anyway
great video. As a A7c owner, I will step up (plus selling my FPL) to get the A7Cr :) I like your new setup!
This makes me excited for the a7 V and maybe we can get an a7s IV in the next twelve months?
That new 16-35 is exciting. I’ve come to really rely on the aperture ring on the lens. Love that for video.

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?
I'm glad that Sony is continuing this line. I got the original A7C and it's a fantastic camera for travel.
Love the style and format of the video!
Currently using the A7C alongside my extensive Canon setup with a 35 GM as my "Sony experiment"; Canon sensors have issues with vertical bloom when using mechanical shutters, exposing blue LEDs as purple and some of their lenses produce a bit more flare when I have backlit situations whereas Sony excels in these areas.

Love your vids, thanks. Feedback - Sounds like you're recording the sound in a very small room/box.....to much bass I'm thinking which doesn't sound natural.
Love the late night vibe
0:08 Gerald Undone. America's new favorite late-nite talk-show host.
I love the new set. All you need is another "side kick" chair and a band to be a late night show.
I feel like I'll be waiting for an a7R6 or other full size but that's only because I just picked up an a6700 for compact and I love it. I'm glad the C series is being maintained as an option for folks who want a FF sensor in a smaller body.
As for the lens I've never really wanted a 16-35 but maybe I'm just not the right target. If I'm working at those sizes I much prefer a prime lens. Once again, glad for folks that don't want to purchase a 15, 24, and 35 GM but I just really don't like zoom lenses at such small lengths.
Yes for thermal testing with GN please. Thanks!
Gerald...thanks for your review -- solid as always and the new set looks great. The GM IIs are worth it especially if you're carrying a camera all day with the lens for say weddings or even sporting events. Your body will thank you!
Love the non-scripted! Great video
the a7C II that's what I've been waiting for! upgrade time baby
I love the new studio!!! To hell with the Late Night hosts… I’ve got Gerald! 🤘
I hope the rV gets the new software stuff soon but when looking at how they abandoned the sIII and a1 i highly doubt it getting updates
nice work as always. would like to know if you have done video on filming with no picture profile and in creative mode on the sony a7iv and sony a7s3 and if that will have a dual iso and how to expose correctly? if not could you please?
great job!
That front dial/scroll wheel on the grip is not carried over from the A7C, thats new and very welcome. I use the A7C when out and about/ traveling more than my A7Riv, the biggest miss is that front dial on the grip, really pleased to see it on the examples you have in this video.
10 bit video woohoo!
I can see the upgrade being a no-brainer from the A7C to the A7C II but not so sure about the A7CR. I use my A7Riv when I need the reliability and reassurance of the two card slots. The A7CR gives that up so I would pass on it.
...Nice new set - very Late Late Show ;-) - Nice humble opening too - keep it going mate
Gerald do you see the Caleb pike square cinema rig for this camera?? Is sick!!!
