>>3065364>>3065462I sold my A7ii because I found myself shooting with my Fuji xpro 1 with a 16mp aspc xtrans more often than the 24mp Bayer.
DESU at this point sensor size is a meme. The best IQ I get comes from my Sigma Merrills which are years old, which outresolve a Sony A7RII with a gmaster lens for less than $500. The second best comes from my Fuji xtrans 24mp aspc 3 bodies followed by xtrans 2 aspcs, thanks to rendering and color outcomes.
Micro contrast, color accuracy, and lens sharpness is superior in my sigma and Fuji kits and the only thing my Sony kit had a leg up on was bokeh with the 85mm gmaster, but the Fuji 50-140 2.8 is just a better portrait lens.
Steering op into the Sony ecosystem before he's had a chance to develop on a compact Fuji, Ricoh, or inexpensive dslr is going to have him fall for all the memes without being exposed to a less expensive ecosystem with more and better options to explore. Unless he wants to do strict portrait photography, there are less expensive and better options to grow with.
