Currently I'm looking for used A7 or A7r but dunno which is the good buy , either go for new A7ii.

Do you guys have any opinions or experience on Sony A7 performance, image quality with ISO else.

Thank you so much 😊

i used sony a7 before, but you compare with a7MII the autofocus is faster 20% not just video and also photo too on af iso is about same with a7 plus a7 dont have 5 axis but a7MII got this i can say if you are video lover then is this is good for video. one a7r autofous is slower but good thing is the pic megapixel is very huge for photographer for the video still ok
