    Great review bud!! I just got my A7Cll a few days ago and I'm going through many YT vids trying to learn about it as fast as possible. Thanks!!!
  • @KGeorge-1
    Great review!! It Answered my questions! Thank you! It’ll be my first ff digital camera soon.
  • Thank you -- concise, infromative -- one of the best vids I've seen! The choice is all so bewildering. At a push, if you had to choose one, would you opt for this or the A74?
  • Best review yet, this has helped me make my decision and I will definitely be purchasing this camera now. Thank you!
  • Yoo the camera quality is insane and the videography that you've done is too good man
  • @xiongej
    best review hands on, no nonsense, straight to the point, facts, etc. Thanks dude
  • @MartinV.
    Great Video!! I was gonna pick up a a7IV but I'm leaning more and more towards the a7CII because of the size. Even tough its not really that much smaller that the a7IV
  • @kylemeshna
    So. Many. Options. Super impressed by this little guy
  • @cbmediapros
    Been waiting for you review! Appreciate all the work you do. For some of us, it’s a lot of money to consider an upgrade and you do very well and allowing us to get the most information to help us decide. Thank you 🤙🏾
  • @LiroozShop
    Thank you for your very good video. Why did you mention the micro hdmi port as a problem? I would be very grateful if you could explain what is the advantage of the large HDMI port over this micro port.
  • @TheCyberdrache
    Bought it a month ago and I have to say that its incredible. Have to say that my previous camera was a Canon 5D M2.
  • @onnie1968
    As always Bro great review and info..... I have the A7IV and picked up the A6700 to be more of a grab and run with. So for now I can't see myself upgrading anytime soon. Big fan of this channel bro please keep the cool content rolling in. 🤘
