I tested every single Sony camera to Find the best ones Sony has amazing Technology and a camera for almost Anyone but picking the right Sony camera Can be a bit overwhelming Sony has Multiple camera series with sub series And even multiple versions of the same Camera with different design and just Because the camera looks good on paper Doesn't mean it's right for you so in This video I'm going to make it super Simple for you by telling you the best Sony cameras depending on your shooting Style and budget and which version of The camera is right for you also I'll Leave links down below with the best Pricing on all the cameras we talk about Today now if you're looking for a Sony Camera that's a jack of all trades AKA Good hybrid camera Sony actually has two Cameras that might be perfect for you And that is the Sony a7c Mark II and the Sony A74 but these are just the first cameras On this list and there's other cameras Later on in this list that might be a Better fit for you if you're on a budget If you're mainly focused on video or if You want a Powerhouse of a professional Camera when it comes to the a7c Mark II And the a74 the two cameras are pretty Similar but they have some pretty major Differences and the right one will Really depend on your specific shooting
Style they both have a 33 megapixel Fullframe sensor which is an incredible Amount of resolution for cropping in and Zooming into your footage and you can Touch up even the smallest detail when It comes to editing both cameras have a Super solid and sticky autofocusing System but to be honest every single Sony camera on this list has good Autofocus and because Sony is so far Ahead of the competition when it comes To autofocus there's really no such Thing as a Sony camera with bad Autofocus one advantage of the A7 C2 Over the a74 is that it also has AI Based autofocus that can intelligently Recognize subjects like animals humans Cars trains insects and the list goes on And this AI based autofocus is the most Advanced autofocusing system from any Company the a74 does not have ai based Autofocus but also has face and eye Detect but the a74 has its own Advantages as you'll see later on both Cameras are also pretty decent in lowl Light shooting and both cameras also Have inbody stabilization that's going To give you very smooth handheld footage For video the A7 C2 does technically Have better stabilization however I Doubt anyone will notice unless you're Really looking both cameras can shoot at A pretty fast 10 frames per second which Is decent enough for most action but the
A74 can actually shoot 800 uncompressed Raw frames in a row where the a7c Mark II can only shoot 44 frames in a row Before the camera needs a break so the A74 is a much better camera for Action To that need to shoot for a long period Of time however in jpeg mode they both Shoot a th000 jpegs in a row which is Crazy but in jpeg mode both cameras Should perform just about the same in Video mode both cameras also have 4K at 24 and 30 frames per second that is down Sampled from 7K so you're literally Getting almost double the resolution of 4K but in a smaller 4K file size both Cameras can also shoot 4K at 60 frames Per second for two times slow motion However you do have a 1.6 times crop Which zooms into your image it isn't Ideal but you can still shoot full HD at 60 and 120 frames per second without a Crop and all these frame rates can also Be shot with high data rates anywhere Between 200 to 600 megabits per second With 10bit color at 422 with slog 3 in Cinr profiles making them very easy Cameras to color grade but also good Enough for professional use and the rest Of the cameras on this list also have High data rates with 10 bit color 422 And Cinema profiles built in so all of The cameras on this list are also very Good for video editing now the biggest Difference between the A7 C2 and the a74
Really comes down to the design because Like I said earlier Sony often makes the Same camera but radically changes the Design to better fit different shooting Styles the a74 has a beefy Pro style Body with a very robust grip with four Custom buttons and a joystick for Changing your autofocus points the A7 C2 However has no joystick but it does have Two custom buttons and the a74 also has Dual SD card slots where you can Individually record photos to one card And video to another card or just have a Redundant backup but the A7 C2 only has One SD card slot but what is the same is That both cameras have three custom Presets on the mode dial so you can set These cameras up for different shooting Scenarios like 4K 60 4K 24 and nighttime Shooting and there's also a toggle to Quickly switch between photo video and Slow motion modes but the biggest Difference is that the A7 C2 literally Fits in the palm of your hands both Cameras are very powerful hybrid cameras And the right camera for you really Depends on if you need a beefy robust Professional style body or if you prefer Something more small and Nimble for more Casual photography or if you're a Professional that wants a fun B camera But if you're looking for a powerful Hybrid camera without moving up into the Extreme professional line of Sony
Cameras these are the two best options For you and as much as I love these Cameras a lot of you guys may not need This much power in your camera and maybe You rather save a bit of money and if You want a powerful hybrid camera but at A pretty massive discount you can still Get about 80% of the features of the a74 And the A7 C2 but save almost ,000 with Your camera so the next camera might Just be perfect for you and that is the Sony a6700 it has a 20 megapixel apsc Size sensor which is about 1.6 times Smaller than a full-frame sensor the Main difference with a sensor like this Is that you get a more narrow feeli of View which might be better for certain Shooting Styles like sports Wildlife or Travel shooting where you're shooting Things far away and your sensor is Already zoomed in so you get more range Out of your lenses plus it's only about 7 megapixels less which you probably Won't notice but the a6700 does have a Dual native ISO for 800 and 2500 making It a really good lowlight camera and you Can push this camera a lot further and It also has the same Ultra reliable Sony Autofocus from The a7c Mark II with AI Based subject tracking and again this is The most advanced autofocusing system in Cameras right now and it has the same Seven stops Sy stabilization from The A7c Mark II in terms of photos the a6700
Can shoot slightly faster at 11 frames Per second and can shoot 59 Raw photos And a th000 jpegs in a row so in terms Of shooting speed it's pretty on par With the much more expensive a7c Mark II But for almost ,000 Less in terms of Video the a6700 has phenomenal video it Shoots 4K at 2430 and 60 frames per Second that is also downsampled from the 6K image area giving you 6K quality and Detail but in a smaller more Nimble 4K File size and it also shoots 4K at 120 Frames per second sadly with a 1.6 times Crop which isn't ideal but that's a Pretty crazy feature to see in a camera Like this and it's a feature you don't Really see unless it's a professional Camera and just like the other cameras It also has 10bit color 422 with Cinema Profile so if you want to do some Serious video editing go nuts and the A6700 has a pretty similar body to the A7c Mark II it's a great hybrid body With an electronic View finder and a Side articulating screen with touch Autofocus and touch controls and it also Has two custom Ms with a toggle to Quickly switch between photo video and Slow motion so you're getting a lot of The design language of the more Expensive a7c Mark II but in a more Affordable camera and the a6700 also Only has one SD card slot if you're a Hybrid shooter the a6700 is a very solid
Choice if you're looking for a more Affordable apsc size camera without Sacrificing all the other important Features like autofocus stabilization And high data rates now now if you want The very best when it comes to Resolution and performance from a Sony Camera the next two cameras are exactly What you're looking for the as7 R5 and The A7 crr both cameras have a Ridiculous 60 megapixel fullframe sensor And this is one of the highest Resolution sensors that you can get in a Full-frame mirrorless camera compared to Other cameras that are maybe 26 33 Megapixel sensors this is basically Double the resolution you can literally Zoom in and see someone's pores and even The eyelashes on their face again this Is only going to matter to you if you Really care about resolution but this High resolution sensor has benefits for Both photos and videos and both cameras Also have the same AI based autofocus Which is simply spectacular and I've Talked a lot about it in this video and They both have the same seven stop in Body stabilization and when you're Shooting photos with a ridiculous 60 Megapix Resolution sensor this is where Things get really exciting the A7 R5 Shoots at 10 frames per second but has a Ridiculous frame buffer of 538 Raw Photos in a row meaning you can pretty
Much shoot forever but you can only get This feature if you're using a faster CF Express type a card and most of us mere Mortals are probably just shooting on a Pretty inexpensive SC v90 card probably And you guys will probably get something Closer to 41 to 49 uncompressed Raw Photos in a row the a7c is slightly Slower at 8 frames a second but you can Still shoot 36 raw frames in a row for a Small smaller and cheaper camera this is Still pretty decent and pretty much just About as good as the A7 C2 but both Cameras can also shoot a th000 jpegs in A row when it comes to video the two Cameras perform almost the same they can Both shoot 4K at 24 and 30 frames per Second and 60 frames per second with a Slight 1.2 times cropped which is barely Noticeable so let's just call it Uncropped and it can also shoot full HD At 60 frames per second and a 120 frames Per second for slow motion the one Advantage of the A7 R5 is that it can Also shoot 8K video but it's got a Little bit of rolling shutter that's Really noticeable with a camera shake And it's only 42010 bit color the 8K Video isn't perfect but it's a really Cool feature to have and both cameras Can shoot 10bit color with Cinema Profiles but the one cool thing about The A7 R5 is that you can also record PR Res raw out using external recorder and
In terms of body and design it's a Pretty similar deal as the a74 and the A7 C2 the A7 R5 is more of a pro style Body with more custom buttons and the A7c has slightly less custom buttons and No joystick but it's a smaller and more Nimble camera and they both have a side Articulating screen with touch controls And touch autofocus but the one cool Thing about the A7 R5 is that the screen On the back can both work as a side Articulating screen and a tilt screen And this is going to be a pretty big Deal if you're a serious shooter but for The most part it just comes down to if You're a pro shooter or if you want a Smaller sleeker body both the A7 R5 and The a7c are very powerful hybrid cameras Especially for someone that's into Resolution the a7c does have have a Slight reduction in power but Considering what you're getting in that Camera it comes at a really good price And if you want the best possible Pricing on any of the cameras we talked About today make sure to check out the Links in the description down below and I will see you guys in the next video Peace
