Great travel camera

on April 3, 2015

Posted by: mgphoto

Verified Purchase:Yes

I am a Canon 5D Mark 3 shooter who bought this Sony a7ii as a lighter weight travel alternative. I tried point and shoot cameras but they just didn't take the quality of photos that I was looking for. This camera is almost as good as my Canon 5DM3 but not quite as good in low light but it's a trade off I'm willing to make when I am traveling. The smaller size makes up for it. I bought the 55mm Sony lens and have been very happy with the clarity I get with this combination of camera and lens. In normal shooting instances it's on par with my Canon 5DM3 and the Canon 50mm L series lens. I guess if I had to complain about anything it would be the lack of Sony prime lenses that are available for the Sony a7ii. I do understand that there are new lenses being released this year which should help. I have used some of my Canon lenses with this camera using an adapter. The results aren't as good as I had hoped. Autofocus isn't available on all of them and when it does work, it's slow so I usually end up manually focusing. Overall I'm very happy with the image quality and portability of this camera and would definitely recommend it to others looking for a full frame, lightweight travel alternative to a large DSLR.

I would recommend this to a friend!
