Best Praise

“A7c is such a great camera, do you really need to spend the extra money for the a7c ii? I would spend the extra cash on some good lenses, because they aren't cheap either. It's not like people were struggling to take great photos with the a7c. If budget is no issue, get the ii.”

“A7C series compared to the full sized bodies misses a bunch of seals and is over all not well sealed relatively speaking”
