>>3121739Honestly, all I can tell you is to go give it a try. Go to
https://www.lensrentals.com/ and rent an a7ii w/ a few lenses for the weekend.
I love that I can carry it with me anywhere. Pic related is in my bag every time I go out.
>im feeling the sony stuff is a big hoaxIt isn't the perfect end-all of cameras, but e-mount is a pretty solid system.
In my opinion, the a7 series wasn't worth looking at before the mark ii line.The ibis and increased AF speeds of the mark ii line are a major boost. I am looking forward to the a7iii, and hope it has the speeds and sensor of the a9. That thing is a beast.
There is a lack of affordable lenses (think nifty fifty style, almost disposable lenses) and some thing on the longer side, but the lens lineup is decently filled out.
>i mean the emount wasnt supposed to be ff even sony guys and lens manufactors confirmed thatFirst I have heard of that.
There wasn't much to e-mount when Sony decided to switch to FF, so if there really was any technical limitations I would have suspected Sony of all people to change the mount.
>i started some research on the robustness of the the a7 series and it seems that a simple drop could damage the cameraThat is true of most cameras. There are delicate pieces of electronics and not something that should be treated roughly.
>when im going to buy one i would definitly get me a good camera insurance.A good idea. Sony's warranty service in the states is mixed. Glad I am in Japan.
>have you ever droped your cam? Yes, a few times.
The worst was when I was walking in the imperial palace gardens and dropped it from a height of about 5 feet.
It went skipping across the ground and got covered in dust. Aside from a few scratches, a scuff where it landed, and a broken lens hood it works perfectly fine after I dusted it off.
>other rough stuff?I got it wet a few times, nothing serious just a minor drizzle/summer shower. I would be hesitant to get it really wet though.
