I am looking forward to the A7CII, and will buy one.
The original A7C was great for size, and I hope that doesn't change much. The dedicated EC dial was useless to me, and in fact, was an annoyance. Having separate dials for SS and aperture is one of the main things that will attract me to the II version.
I read lots of complaints about the EVF on teh original version, but this seems to be someone's pet peeve that has been repeated over and over. I find the current versions EVF to be perfectly fine.
A joystick to move the focus point would be nice, but I have adapted to the Sony system in that regard (I'm coming from Nikon).
Lastly, I am hoping that the II produces full size embedded JPGs in the ARW file for use when previewing in Photo Mechanic. Not being able to zoom to large view makes culling files impossible, without going through the extra step of creating DNGs.
I want a small full-frame camera. If I wanted all the features of an A7V I'd buy that instead. I hope Sony doesn't try to stuff the A7C will so many features that it loses the small/llight characteristics.
