My use case is photos and small video clips of my vacations. Here are my thoughts about the A7CII in no particular order

Initially it seemed like battery life was going to be much lower, but in real world usage of shooting vacation pics, there's practically no difference. It lasts me 2-3 days, ymmv.

The size and weight difference may not be significant from the specs, but it's definitely noticeable. It is much easier to carry in my hand and it's less torture on my shoulder when in my bag.

The creators app is way better than the old Imaging Edge app: it connects MUCH faster, and there are more controls for remote shooting.

The shutter button of the A7CII needs to be depressed slightly more than the one on the A7III, I liked the latter better but no biggie.

Same for the ON OFF switch, it takes a bit of getting used to. I prefer the older implementation.

Flippy screen! Love it. Something that really bothered me on the A7III.

For a casual shooter like me, the number of custom buttons is just enough.

The new menu system is such a great improvement from the old one that I can't bear using the A7III's anymore.

Finally full touch functionality for tracking/focus, AE, settings, and also shooting.

The auto mode is a lot better than the A7III. It means I can just switch to auto, hand the camera to my wife and I can be guaranteed a good shot. As long as the horizon isn't tilted lol.

AF was already great on the A7III but it's CRAZY GOOD now. I've clicked pics and videos of running dogs and it latched on throughout. Only when the subject gets really small in the frame does it start to fail.

The viewfinder is not as good as the A7III's. If you want to compose using it with your other eye open as well, it won't work because the image is too small in the viewfinder.

I'm loving that the camera now supports streaming mode, people can now see me in all my splendor in zoom calls. Although I did run into it overheating and shutting off around the 1 hour mark. Battery life does not drain when connected to the PC by USB C as long as you have a good cable and a higher power output port.

On that note, the USB port is on the left side on the top, so when the screen is flipped out the cable tends to be over the screen. Not ideal.

The built in timelapse and bulb mode settings is great, I had a separate USB remote shutter release for my A7III that I don't need anymore.

I much prefer the unmarked exposure compensation dial on the A7CII.

When 'New' doesn't really mean new anymore

Probably it is just me that’s run out of luck. But I'm starting to wonder if Amazon's definition of "new" has changed these days. The camera itself is good, I like it. However giving this purchase one star doesn't even begin to cover my frustration. I paid the full price for what I believed was a “new” camera, not something that had been marked as an "open box" deal or part of the "warehouse deals”.

Upon arrival, everything seemed in order; the package appeared to be factory-sealed. But the surprises that awaited me inside. First off, the moment I turned on the camera, it skipped the standard initial setup process, greeting me in French no less. Then, I discovered the camera was already Bluetooth-paired with a stranger's phone. As if that wasn't enough, the rubber seal around the SD card slot was marred with scratches, a clear testament to its previous adventures. And the shutter count was over 2000 – clear signs it wasn't new.

After trying out this camera, I might still buy it from another store. It’s balanced and lightweight. The autofocus is great. It's just that my trust in purchasing certain items from Amazon has been deeply shaken – to the point where I'm questioning if I'll ever take that risk again. Whatever Amazon's strategy here, it's damaging their credibility, at least in my eyes.

Not a new camera

I saw a review stating that someone received a used camera but thought it was probably a one off case considering the rest of the reviews, so I ordered anyways. I went to open the box and it seemed like it wasn’t a brand new product (no film on screens, cord not tied up etc). There is a scratch on the top. When I turned it on settings had already been changed. I checked the shutter count and over 700 photos have been taken and the Bluetooth had someone else’s phone paired. Really not impressed after spending $3000 on a camera and receiving a previously used product.

Premium full-frame compact camera

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.

The Sony A7CII has been my sidekick for life vlogs and studio magic, and it's nothing short of amazing!

This camera's lightweight and compact design make it a breeze to carry, ensuring I'm always ready to capture the moment, be it on the go or in the studio. The hybrid capabilities seamlessly switch between my lively vlogs and professional setups, delivering stunning image quality with vibrant colors and sharp details.

The user-friendly interface and speedy autofocus make shooting a delight, even for a camera newbie like me. Plus, it's held up like a champ through all my adventures.

In a nutshell, if you want a camera that's as versatile as it is reliable, the Sony A7CII is the real deal. It's made my content pop, and I can't recommend it enough!

AI is the real deal!

Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2024

The Sony a7Cm2 advanced imaging system is powered by a 33MP full-frame Exmor R CMOS sensor and the BIONZ XR processor, a combination capable of 10-bit 4K imagery at up to 30 fps or a top continuous shooting rate of 10 fps with AF and AE using either the mechanical or electronic shutter. The new focus system powered by an artificial intelligence (AI) chip is a huge improvement over my Sony a7m4. It locks on and sticks like glue. Not sure how to algorithm works but boy are my photos sharp and the focus has improved in some of my non Sony lenses.

Great Buy But!

The autofocus performance is top-notch. However, my two main observations are that the battery life is significantly worse than the a7iii, and the photos appear better before capturing than the final results. Nonetheless, it remains a worthwhile purchase. If opting for a larger lens, consider a grip for better weight distribution, or stick to smaller lenses. An inconvenience is that the articulating screen doesn't extend out flush with the camera's side, a consistent issue with the a7c/cii models.

Muy bonita pero...

Color diferente al de la publicación, empaque del producto venía sin sellos y tampoco incluye batería, únicamente la correa que es lo menos importante, en general con Amazon todo bien pero se está volviendo complicado pedir del extranjero por la aduana que abre todo, la cámara estaba llena de huellas, no está usada pero el que no venga sellado el empaque deja ciertas dudas.
