Title: A Compact Powerhouse That Redefines Everyday Photography
Review: I've been eyeing Sony cameras for a while, contemplating a switch, and the Sony Alpha 7C II finally convinced me to make the jump. From the moment I unboxed it, I knew I had made the right choice. The compact size immediately stood out, offering a sleek and stylish design in silver that feels fantastic to carry everywhere. Here are my thoughts:Pros:1. Compact Size and Design: The small form factor means I can bring it along without feeling burdened. It's perfect for spontaneous shoots and casual day trips where capturing beauty in the moment is key. I hated bringing my Canon R6 with 24-105 f4 lens because it's a bit weighty and ended up using my phone most of the time.2. Unlimited Recording Time: As someone who loves shooting videos, the unlimited recording time is a blessing. I can film longer sessions without the constant worry of hitting a recording cap. It does get warm but it has never discouraged me with that overheating icon.3. Stunning Image and Video Quality: The quality of photos and videos is exceptional. With the sensor comparable to bigger Sony mirrorless, this is a no brainer when it comes to image and video quality.4. Improved Autofocus: I know Sony is the king when it comes to this category (go on, change my mind) but when I jumped system from Canon, the speed and accuracy just blew my mind. This is another level of autofocus.Cons: It's not a perfect camera so here are the ones that I wish were improved.1. Lower Resolution Screen: The screen resolution could be better. While not a deal-breaker, a sharper display would enhance the overall experience.2. Viewfinder Resolution: The viewfinder is on the lower resolution side. It functions adequately, but a bit more clarity would be appreciated.3. Single SD Card Slot: Having only one SD card slot can be limiting, especially during if one is doing some client work. Having 2 sd cards just give one a peace of mind. I did realize that with its compact size, it would be a challenge to get.Despite these minor drawbacks, the pros far outweigh the cons for me. The compact size alone makes it an absolute joy to carry around. Pair it with a small prime lens, and it becomes the ultimate everyday camera setup. It’s rekindled my love for walking around with a camera in hand, ready to capture whatever catches my eye.All in all, the Sony Alpha 7C II is a fantastic camera for anyone looking to combine portability with full-frame power. If you've been considering a switch to Sony like I was, this camera is worth to consider.

Title: Compact, takes incredible photos
Review: Has a leg up on A7 IV with the AI subject detection AF. Autofocus is incredibly quick. If you're upgrading from another A7, you already know how expensive full frame E Mount lenses can be, but if you're coming from APSC, definitely research lens prices before buying this, and maybe look into the A6700.

Title: Autofocus is great
Review: Purchased just for the AI auto focus feature. Just as good or better than the research i have done. Everything else this thing is great at is just a lot of bonuses for me. The mobile app for phones is great!! Works fast and transfer to phone is excellent. Image attached to this review was taken by the A7cii, use app to transfer to phone and shared. Manual with auto focus. As I've aged my eyes have aged more. In the past I've spent hours if not a full day shooting just to get to my monitor and blur blur blur. Now I can pretty much point and shoot.

Title: Excellent portable camera
Review: I have owned professional/semipro cameras for over 10 years from Nikon d750, D500, Sony, canon etc. in that light , I am making some comments.PROS1.) Ultra light. The lightest full frame camera. With some of the pancake lenses, it is falls in range of 2-3 lb. It is lighter with prime lens than most mirrorless without their lens.2.) Compact. I can fit this easily in a front pocket of backpack or in a moderate sized satchel.3.) Long battery life. In a recent Disney trip, the battery lasted me entire day and evening.4.) Accurate color. In my case experience, this camera has given me most accurate colors comparing side by side with real scene. Even in night time, the photos have accurately captured colors.5.) Weatherproof. I used it in Disney on a rainy day and I did not used a cover or case.6.) Photo transfer. Bluetooth photo transfer to phone or devices is a breeze.7.) Other - usability: Ultra nice menu, quick start, three control dials,CONS1.) Night time focus. focus in low light conditions is tricky. In fact, it is hard to get out of focus in day time by contrast.2.) viewfinder is horrible. Small, low resolution and side location. I would simply use live screen. The viewfinder has been compromised due to compact design so it is an acceptable thing for me.3.) Cost. Objectively, it would be nice to have it 300-400$ cheaper but there is no competition for this thing. Only better options are either APSC (Fuji, etc.) or so expensive (Leica).4.) JPG mode gives darker, little under saturated pictures.Summary: overall, it is a great buy and it would be definitely goto and travel camera for coming years.

Title: Better than Ever
Review: I owned an A7c for 2 years. The New Sony a7c II with the Zeiss 55 1.8 is a magical combo. This camera is very fast focusing even with this 10 year old lens. It is very sticky when tracking, and with the Ai chip face detection is quick to lock on and stay with the eye. If the head turns it goes into tracking mode then back to eye AF when it sees the eye again. The touch screen is very good. If the camera is small for big hands you can buy a plate so your pinky has a home. I love it. Hope the honeymoon never ends

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

Review: 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.

Review: 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.
