Owns both the a7C II and the a7 V. Loves the a7 V's screen and fast CFexpress slot and would keep it if they could only have one, though they still prefer the smaller C body.
“I also love the screen on the V and the CF Express card that’s a lot faster than any SD card I own”
Shoots wildlife with the A7V and hasn't noticed any rolling shutter. Suggests renting one to check before buying.
“No other way to know than to try, i do wildlife with the A7V and the rolling shutter is imperceptable. Though i can imagine youd like precapture for it if you can get it.”
Owns both the original A1 and the A7V, and previously an A9. Prefers the A7V for video because its AI autofocus keeps the intended subject even behind clutter, and its controls and screen are better. Still prefers the A1's faster readout for sports and wildlife.
“I prefer the A7V over the A1 for video work. The readout speed is a bit slower, but the AI autofocus system, controls, and tilt/flip screen are far superior.”
Just moved from an a7 IV to the a7 V and is happier than with any camera in years: colours and skin tones need far less editing, and they prefer its video to the FX6 they sold. Says the autofocus is fantastic, battery life is good, and it's unbeatable for the price.
“Just got an a7v and haven’t been this happy about a camera in ages. The image and colour requires such less work to get where I want than the previous a7iv I was using and skintones finally look good.”
