A7ii still revalent today in 2017

[bujanda_strong]

I am interested in going to full frame mirrorless. The a7ii has such a great price point right now. I shoot portraits and at Time my kids in sports(I realize not the best choice but I make an canonnm3 work for sports). Or should I just get the A7rii? Just wondering if anyone still uses the a7ii at all. I use tons of vintage on my canon mirrorless and this is one of the reasons I am dumping my dslr’s. And going all into the mirrorless. Thanks for any advice in advance!

The A7 II is still a good camera, why should it not be relevant anymore today? And if you were ok with the EOS M3 before, then I believe the A7 II should serve you well...

Thank you for your response I agree!

Show me a "more relevant" camera for 

about $1600. The other two contenders 

are SLRs. Since relevance is the theme   

here, SLRs are lesser contenders, less 

relevant every day gone by. 

   

Sony is the only FF Live View system 

anyway, so the only alternatives are the 

other Sony a7 types. The a7-II is simply 

the basic model, least costly, but when 

would simplicity reduce relevance ?   

   

Of all a7 type Sonys, observations of 

forum postings tell me the users of the 

basic a7-II are the most satisfied with 

their camera. Price does affect users' 

expectations. Users of the 'R' and 'S' 

versions are a complaining bunch, cuz 

they fail to realize that they are using a 

$1600 camera with an enlarged pixel 

count [or enlarged photo sites] and an 

enlarged price tag to go with that. They 

expect their cameras to be a lot closer 

to perfection than one can reasonably

expect of a $1600 camera. 

   

Only the a9 appears to be an actually 

different model. For the price it damnt 

well better be ! So, choose between 

the 9 and the a7-II. Both are the basic 

versions of themselves. Ignore the two 

"boosted" versions of the a7 series as 

nothing more than hot rodded versions, 

boy racer machines, high performance 

boy toys. The a7-II is just a "boring old 

daily driver" ... the most relevant thing 

on wheels tho not the most exciting.
