buy liao regret then can sell cheap cheap for us

Yea, actually i was thinking to get A7ii, by the time i want click down the "Place order", i suddenly found a review regarding A7ii focusing system weakness, especially in low light, even worst than entry level DSLR. This thing is stopped me from continue looking at this model....
So... really quite complicated in my mind to make decision....argh...

Can you share the link? Perhaps in the sony fanboy page and see what they think ? And we can continue the conversation from there. Feel strange talking about Sony camera in Nikon forum... . While I never used A7ii before, i've with A7. I found it quite snappy, no problems as long as there is enough contrast in the scene. Without much contrast, any camera can suffer in term of AF.

Just a simple reference to A7ii AF, please refer to : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SMFI3dc0ZQ

best is ask your friend who use nikon system and lend you 35/50mm f/1.8, then ask another sony system friend lend you body and lens together and compare... also compare AF focus system before you waste money and then regret XDDD

Bro, is actually a comparison video between focusing of A7ii and DSLR and iphone 6 or 6s (4got d), i remember A7ii just having difficulty in low light focus.
I been asking this question in Sony thread, and there was an actual A7ii user feedback the same thing for me, he is jumping from Canon entry DSLR to A7ii
He do agree that the focusing of A7ii lose to DSLR, even entry level one.
But still, he told me he is enjoy using this camera, and i saw all his photo with 55 1.8, just fabulous.


My group all use Nikon and Canon... nobody dare to buy Sony for their very own reason.
My area also a small town, camera shop only have A6k and Nikon D800 the most expansive unit for test, other need pre order.
Ask JB sony center also no show unit... sign...

You know, you can use AF assist light to help in AF. And ask yourself, how frequent you need to shoot in those extreme low light condition? There will be way to work around your gear limitations.
I hope you don't mind me saying this, you worry too much.....and it started to sound like you haven't really understand the full potential of your D5200. I think it will make more sense to just stick to your D5200 with better lenses as others already pointed out. You might be very surprise with what it can do for you with the right lens, instead of blindy chasing after gears, which will leave you disappointed in the end if you don't know how to unleash their full potential. Better gears doesnt necessary mean better image. Again, just my 2 cents.

Yea, is ok, i know u all are giving the best word to me. Much Appreciated.
I admit that i never fully used the D5200, as i said i wanted to shoot in FF in someday.
And, i am the kind of person like to one shot to get the best one, instead of slowly upgrade.
So once i know there is FF system with better sensor, better bokeh, better IQ (maybe?), then i stop investing in APS-C field.
Again, i thank you for your words, u guy are just too kind to me instead of keep poison me, haha
really appreciated, i will take all the consideration before fire my bullet.

Welcome Bro, and thanks for not taking my words the wrong way! Whichever route you choose to go (switch to FF mirrorless or get more nikkor lenses) I wish you the best.

happen to come across this blog which i find quite interesting ...

But of course depends on what you want to do, and most importantly how you justify your upgrade.

Im still using my d300. but less lately due to other commitments, I shot my own product advert using the d300 results still quite decent. for the most part, lightroom and photoshop can do a lot of 'saves'. Just the shutter might be dying on me. it got stuck a few times last month.

Only when Im needed to shoot video, then I would bring out the d600 probably if I shot the img below with d600 we can see more of the kitty walking past..

Wah so cheap? Second hand SB700 already around rm650

I find slow AF annoying whenever I wanna take candid shots.

The moment you able to focus the subject, the special moment gone

I got that a lot during my days in uni where they asked me to shoot for stage event in college. Some events like orchestra cannot use flash and need to perform under low light. Hard to get good photo.

Waaa....I don't really know that... usually shooting on film slr(Pentax Me Super & Olympus OM10)..this is my first time owning digital slr. My colleague need urgent money so sell me all that for RM1k. I take it.

Any dslr sifu around here suggest me...izzit okay to use my old manual lens on digital slr( my case : pentax 50mm 1.4 lens on nikon) using adapter... is there any calibration/other setting needed to be done?
