Actually, they have something in common. Black colour Mirrorless body cannot sell… How about a silver A7 body? Something like X100 or omd 10? : )
What are you even talking about?
Can someone recommend a good e mount replacement for a A77? Which one is like the holy grail for these things.
Nex 7 is the E mount equivalent to the A77. The A7, A7r and A7s are great but more expensive.
ORLY! lmao.
The a6000 would be your best bet, and a7 if you want full frame
If I am interested in good quality 35 mm focal length perspective, what are the pros and cons of the following two options:
1. A6000 + Zeiss 24 mm 1.8 E mount
2. A7 + Zeiss 35 mm 2.8 FE mount
I think the price difference is minimal (< $300) between the two.
You better check the $ again that doesn’t sound right. The two lenses sell for pretty close to the same but the bodies price more than $300 difference I think. Focus speed of the A600 vs full frame of the A7. I personally prefer the full frame due to the lack of wide angle choices for apsc.
Thanks, according to Amazon U.S., the 35mm FE is $800 and 24mm E is $1100 new. The price difference of A7 and A6000 can be less than $600 (currently $1498 vs. $798 on Amazon, but there are so many deals on A7 recently…), thus the small price difference between the packages.
I disagree with you on the FE wide angle availability, for now. Because Sony currently doesn’t have any FE wide angle primes and there is no 3rd party supplier of FE lenses.
I personally think that the A7 may give better IQ, because of the FF and the highly acclaimed 35 2.8. DOF and low light capacity will be similar IMO. But I would like to hear some other people’s opinion about this too.
I am sorry, the A6000 body only is $648, so that makes the price difference larger. But still, what do you think?
I think you’re a Douche
Based on the fact that you are effectively comparing the A6000 vs the A7 (series) camera, you should buy yourself an A6000.
Both are excellent cameras, but you clearly don’t hold an understanding of what these cameras are, and what type of photography they are more suitable for. Sounds like you’re a happy snapper who wants nice holiday pics, go the A6000.
“I personally prefer the full frame due to the lack of wide angle choices for apsc.”
that’s such a joke. unlike aps-c E mount that has some wide angle lens options, the full frame FE mount system has: zero.
for A6000, Price difference with lens is $500 but you’re getting a 1.8 vs 2.8.. Body only price difference is $800. more focus points on the A6000. built in flash. cheaper lenses
for A7. larger sensor, better ISO sensitivity, weather sealed, phase detection on video, 1/8000s max shutter.
I will say go for A7 if you have money, A6000 if you have a budget constraint.
Thank you for the reply and the nice summary. I honestly think the two options are very comparable, with A7 having better ISO performance with the larger sensor. The weight for a7 + 35 2.8 should be 690g, while the a6000 + 24 1.8 is 569g, also quite close.
I am a landscape shooter and current a99 user looking to lighten my load during climbing and hiking. I shoot mostly between 14 to 75 mm focal length, thus the question. What prevented me from getting either is the lack of good wide angle for now. I do think that the FE series camera seems to fit my needs better, and is more future-proof.
