Does anyone here own both cameras? I was thinking about selling my A7RII and getting an A6500 and I was wondering how do they compare (the A7RII in crop mode, of course). I've recently bought a Sigma 30mm 1.4 that I've tested briefly with the A7RII and my conclusions were:
- Soft image
- AF hunts and misses more than with Canon adapted lenses and more than with the FE 50mm 1.8 (which already not a super af lens)
- Unacceptable vignetting (no, I was not shooting in full frame with an aps-c lens).
After these results I was thinking that maybe the A7RII's cropped mode is not optimized to work like a "real" aps-c camera (which would be crazy from a camera this expensive). At the same time, after seeing so many really great A6500 samples and reviews I find it hard to believe that it has the same results as the A7RII crop mode. I've also read a lot of great reviews of the Sigma 30mm 1.4 and after using it with the A7RII I really don't see it.
Anyway, thoughts? (and please DO focus on the actual question instead of asking me why am I switching and so forth)
