just got my hands on the sony a7v and i gotta say its autofocus is insane 🤯 so smooth and fast, making it a total game changer for photography and videography alike 😎 but yeah i'm still kinda miffed about the video recording limitations, 10-bit 4k just isnt enough 🙄
 
I'm still loving the Sony A7V despite some of those limitations 🤔... like, yeah I get that it's not ideal for serious video creators, but I've been using mine for vlogging and it's honestly been a game changer - the autofocus is so fast and accurate, and the image quality is just wow 💥. Plus, all the manual controls are super nice to have when you're experimenting with different settings and techniques 🎨. And let's be real, who really needs 4K RAW or native resolution capture? Not me, I'm happy with what I get out of the camera 😊. And honestly, that Auto Framing mode is a total time-saver - just press record and it'll set up the shot for you, no fuss! 📹 So yeah, if you're looking for a solid camera for photography or vlogging, the A7V is definitely worth checking out 💯
 
I'm totally stoked about the Sony A7V camera 🤩 but at the same time, I'm kinda underwhelmed 🤔... I mean, it's got all these awesome features like super fast and accurate autofocus and amazing image quality 📸, which is perfect for photography. But then again, if you're a serious video creator, you might be disappointed 😐 'cause there are some pretty major limitations - no RAW or native resolution capture, which can be a total bummer for those who need more control over their footage 🎥.

And don't even get me started on the video stabilization and autofocus 🤦‍♂️... it's not bad, but I've seen better in other cameras 📊. So yeah, if you're just into photography, the Sony A7V is an awesome choice 🙌, but for videographers? Maybe not so much 😐. The rating's a bit confusing too - 9/10 for photography, but only 6.5/10 for video 🤷‍♂️... yeah, I'm just kinda meh about it 😐
 
the Sony A7V is way overrated 🤦‍♂️ i mean, who needs 10-bit 4K in MP4 anyway? it's not like anyone's gonna watch that in 4K on their phone lol. and the lack of open gate capture for vertical video export is a dealbreaker for me, i use my camera to create content for tiktok and instagram, can't have that kinda limitation 🤦‍♂️ plus, who needs RAW video recording when you can just edit in post? it's not like it's gonna make a huge difference in the end. for serious video creators, yeah maybe other options are better but for casual users like me, the A7V is perfect 📸
 
I just got my hands on the Sony A7V camera and I gotta say, it's been a game changer for me! The autofocus is insane fast and accurate, my portraits are looking better than ever 📸. But what really impressed me was the video stabilization - no more shaky footage! However, as a YouTuber, I do wish they had more advanced features like RAW recording or open gate capture... it's still a great camera for photography though 😊.
 
The Sony A7V is looking like a solid camera for stills photography 📸👍. I mean, who doesn't love fast and accurate autofocus? And the image quality is top-notch, no doubt about it! But for vloggers and serious video creators, this thing's got some limitations 😐. I'm not gonna lie, having 10-bit 4K without RAW capture just feels like a half-measure to me 🤔. Plus, the lack of open gate capture can be a real bummer if you're trying to export vertical vids 📺. For those folks, I'd say stick with the Canon R6 III or Panasonic S1 II – they're worth the extra cash 💸. But for casual snappers and everyday photography, the A7V's a great choice 👌.
 
The Sony A7V is looking pretty good 🤔... I mean, it's a solid choice for photography enthusiasts, especially with that fast and accurate autofocus - can't go wrong with that! 📸 And the image quality is on point too, high dynamic range and low noise are a big plus. But, for video creators, it's a different story... those limitations are gonna be a bummer, I feel like you're stuck in 4K MP4 mode only 🤦‍♂️. Not to mention the lack of RAW recording options - that's a big deal for serious vloggers or filmmakers. Maybe Sony will update this camera soon? ⏰ Still, it's a great option for those just starting out with photography or vlogging... just don't expect too much from video creation 📹.
 
I just got my hands on the Sony A7V camera and I gotta say its autofocus is insane 🔥📸, like it can pick up even the slightest movement in a split second. But for me, its video capabilities are a bit of a letdown 🤔. I mean, 10-bit 4K MP4 is good and all, but where's the RAW or native resolution capture? 🤷‍♂️ That would've made it perfect for serious videographers. And don't even get me started on vertical video export - no open gate capture = major bummer 😒. Still, its image quality is top notch 💯, so if you're just starting out with photography, I'd say give it a shot 📸👍
 
I don't trust this camera at all... like Sony's just trying to sell us a bunch of hype 🤔. Fast autofocus is cool, I guess, but what's the point if it can't even record video in RAW? That's like trying to take a selfie with a DSLR – redundant! And 10-bit 4K MP4? Please, that's just basic stuff nowadays. The lack of open gate capture for vertical video export is just another example of Sony being lazy 😒. If you're a serious videographer, keep looking elsewhere, like Canon or Panasonic... they might actually deliver 💸
 
🤔 I'm so done with Sony not offering open gate capture on their cameras yet! 🚫 I mean, come on, it's like they're still stuck in the past. And don't even get me started on the lack of RAW video recording in external format... it's just not ideal for serious video creators, you know? 😩 Like, if I'm gonna invest in a camera, I wanna be able to capture my footage in all its native glory, not have to deal with compression. 📹 But hey, I guess for photography, the Sony A7V is still a solid choice... autofocus and image quality are top-notch! 👍
 
The ones who have to care about every little thing will never amount to anything. 🤷‍♂️ Sometimes you gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em - that's the name of the game. 💸
 
😊 I can feel you guys are really excited about the Sony A7V camera, but some of you might be feeling a bit frustrated about its limitations for video creators 🤔. I get it, it's like when you're trying to capture that perfect shot, but your gear isn't quite doing the trick 💔. It's hard to deal with those extra features and settings that we all want but aren't always available.

Anyway, if photography is what you're passionate about (and let's be real, who doesn't love taking amazing pics? 📸), then I think you'll really love the Sony A7V! The autofocus is super fast and accurate, and the image quality is just wow 💥. It's like having a magic camera in your hands.

But hey, don't get discouraged if video isn't your thing 😊. There are so many other awesome cameras out there that might be more suited to what you need 🤗. Maybe take some time to research and find the one that's right for you 💻?
 
im thinking of getting this camera but i'm kinda confused about the pros & cons... so like, it has fast autofocus which is awesome right? 🤔 but then why can't it do raw video recording in external format like other cameras? that seems super limiting to me... and what's with no open gate capture for vertical videos? shouldn't that be a thing nowadays? 📸🎥 anyway, i guess it's still an excellent camera for photography but for videographers, they gotta keep looking right? 😐
 
I've been thinking about the Sony A7V camera and I gotta say, it's a solid all-rounder for photography 📸. The autofocus is super fast and accurate, which is a big plus in today's fast-paced photography world. And the image quality is top-notch - that high dynamic range is something else!

However, if you're looking to get into video production or want more advanced features, I think Sony might've missed the mark on this one 🤔. The 4K MP4 limit without RAW capture is a bit of a letdown, and no open gate capture for vertical video export is a major bummer.

For photography enthusiasts like myself, though, I'd say it's worth considering. The manual controls are super handy, and the AI-powered features like Auto Framing mode are pretty cool. Just don't expect to get too much out of it if you're serious about videography 📺.

Overall, I'm giving it 8/10 for photography - the autofocus and image quality alone are worth the investment. But for video creators... maybe wait for the next gen or consider one of those other options I mentioned 👍
