mttran, I have to say Gunzorro is on the right track here-- at least for this thread!
This is a conversation about centerpoint AF, one-shot, using 35mm lenses (ideally native to their respective systems for the sake of size/speed) on the 5D2 vs. A7-series cameras.
I-- the OP here-- am not really interested in any of the Sony crop-sensor options at the moment. And I'm not chasing the A7(r) as an IQ upgrade-driven process. As I've said, I'm satisfied with the tools I have, but I'd love to get the same in a smaller system.
There's no doubt the A7r is a resolution/IQ monster with the right lenses under the right shooting conditions, or that the RX1 is a unique blend of sensor-to-lens (which is why I may well pick one up for giggles, AF aside if I can't go in another direction in the short-term).
I'm brand agnostic, as those things go, but wary of change just for the sake of change (or for minor improvements). ...Show more →
OK. I finally got to test my A72 in low light. I shot an exposure of ISO 100, f9 at 8 seconds. So reasonably dim (15 mins after summer sunset). Fantastic. I shot mostly on the 16-35 and it was pretty quick and dead accurate, any where on the screen. It's been a while since I've owned a 5D2 but I feel the A72 was better as a low light camera.
Forget teh XE1 or 2. They collapse in a pile when the lights ae low. Great high ISO but they don't focus in low light. The XT1 is the only real option from Fuji. Even the A7R is better than the XE1.
I bought the A7S as a low light focuser for receptions. Maybe I didn't need to. The A72 is really good as an AF camera in single shot.
And I know your not looking for a quality upgrade but you will be surprised about how damn good the A7 sensor is compared to the Canon.
