Sony A7C II

Pros: Operating Speed - Stabilization - ISO Sealing - Autofocus - AI Implementations - Compactness - Construction

Cons: Lack of a battery grip among accessories - Lack of directional pad - Single SD memory slot

Opinion: Taken as a body for work use, which replaces the Nikon D850, for the use I have to make of it I can only be enthusiastic. Excellent files, ISO hold up to 3200 really excellent, at 6400 usable and higher it makes no sense to go, except for particular uses that do not fall into my cases. Top-of-the-range operating speed, lightning-fast autofocus that, set in the right way, doesn't miss a beat except in really extreme situations. On a construction level, it does not present any critical issues, the body is small and light but the feeling of having a solid object is present right from the start. I can't talk about real flaws, but more about some shortcomings dictated by the form factor that don't make me crazy: - the lack of the directional pad makes some operations uncomfortable that must all be done through the D-pad, making it sometimes difficult to look at the shots just taken and zoom in on the details; - the lack of the second memory slot (they could put an internal memory even small, but which would certainly have been useful) for some professionals could be a limitation; - the menus, for those who come from any other manufacturer will seem hellish, but with a little practice and with Google at hand everything can be solved. I close with a consideration, Sony to date has never created a battery grip for the previous version or for this one, probably not to put it in direct competition with the "sister" A7IV, a real shame, because it would make this camera an instant buy for anyone who wants an ergonomic body without sacrificing excellent quality.
