These cameras are very similar yet quite different due to the sensor. The A7C II sports the 33MP sensor while the A7C R sports the 61MP sensor.
Photographers have so many choices now plus as hybrid shooters this will give you a lot of options.

    You've got a solid point Jason. Even though the high res feature of the R model is very tempting, I have to admit that shooting massive raw files would be a pain in post and storage at times. The mark II seems like a more balanced choice.
  • @almightyri1757
    I agree with you. If you are already spending that much on a camera just spend the extra on the a7RV. I am disappointed in the a7CR. I was waiting for the announcement thinking that would be the camera I'd get, but it ended up being the a7CII
  • @xhenriquefps
    I would love to have the budget to get the A7CR. 61 MP would be a dream! But then I see the price of the body and lenses, and I personally can’t possibly justify spending that much money on this hobby 🥲. Who knows, maybe someday
  • @GregorMima
    Don't forget 1/4000 vs 1/8000 shutter. a7cR vs a7RV. Still i like the a7cR. Size is great for travel and rigging. And 12Bit RAW out is a big plus for me too.
  • @MarioScott
    was looking forward to this video from you.
  • @hi2chris
    The a7c2 sure is tempting upgrade over a zv-e1 really not sure which to go. Both really good
  • I don't do video now days...I am happy with a pair of used A7c bodies along with an even older original A7s (low light work)...street work while retired in Bangkok. Cheers
  • I love my a7iv and just bought the a7cii for my EDC….small compact,lovely looking in silver and a little powerhouse without chewing the ass out of my computer.However I will be changing my a7iv for the a7rv in the future…..
  • @bala1000mina
    Thank you so much Jason! Very helpful and lots of precious info I learnt from your video!
  • @alexdubois6585
    Thanks for raising the buffer depth concern with the A7C R. For me I think it is still a better fit. I can have half the number of primes initially by cropping. I get 61M for landscape and can go hunt birds with a lighter telephoto... Fantastic proposition... I would just have liked more info on the experience with the EVF. Is it usable or so bad you naturally go to screen...
  • @mrz1342
    Hi, it was very informative video specially your point about 1 card which is important to know since your professional experience and other equipment. I agree a7Rv is a complete camera but not comparable as a7cR in weight and size! On the other hand still I’m not sure to sacrifice buffer speed, 1/8000 mechanical shutter, high resolution evf and lcd, dual card slots, amazing panel technology, etc. for better portability or not!
  • Hi Jason and the community. Would appreciate any short answer. Which hybrid camera to buy: 7CII / 7IV/ or 7CR My basic needs and only focus are photos/VIDEOS (KEY FACTOR) for REAL ESTATE (can't afford Sony 7R V). Where is better VIDEO quality? Other factors "doesn't matter" at this point. Thank you for your time. (not my first research... but asking on a channel I follow a lot).
  • @eike.zender
    The pricing of the newer models is so strange - sure, they don't want to cannibalize their own lineup, but as a customer it's confusing to choose the right one.
  • @tokelahti
    It's sad that Sony didn't give "Pixel Shift Multi Shooting" to a7cii.
  • @vicentvanmole
    I still think resolution is everything important thing any companies trend goes for .1st choose of 2 type of lens ,full & apsc.great for range extension for wildlife
  • @maddybaliga
    Is it possible to shoot 4K 60 fps with the APSC crop mode in the SONY A7CR ??
  • @jackpatmoreinc
    What are your thoughts between the A7IV and A7CII? I currently have an A7IV and need a second camera. I love the compactness of the A7CII for travel and everyday shooting, but I worry about the single card slot and possible overheating when compared to the A7IV. Please let me know your thoughts!
  • I am a beginner and hobbyist,not really into using camera for professional purpose, and was waiting for a7cii,but the price has put me off...now i am confused between a6700 and zv e1 , i want good camera for video,which one should i buy?
