Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Used Sony a7ii + some vintage lenses with converters
  • sony a7ii (fullframe comparable to a6000 in terms of AF).
  • I found a good priced a7ii and used remaining budget to buy a Tamron 28 70.
  • A7ii for around $500-$600. This is about as cheap as you’ll find a mirrorless full frame body.

Cons

  • Why: Cheaper (600 euros) than the A7iii, while still offering alot of the benefits of mirrorless FF Concers: IBIS being bad, worse weather sealing than A7iii
  • Definitely the Z6, Sony hadn't quite gotten their mirrorless tech ready until A7 III
  • The A7II is nothing more than the A7 which has had some usage issues that have arisen corrected. The camera is worth it but if you have the chance try to get the A7III, another world.
  • I can't speak to the A lenses but I can say that the A7ii is not nearly as good as the A7iii in several categories so if you can find one of those, that might be the better body.
  • I already asked for recommendation here when it was about a Sony A7ii however prices on that seem to be extremely wacky rn... i like how it looks and the body image stabilization seems nice

Sony is only better with bigger budget, because both A7II and A7I is just no go.. RP should be considerably better than these two
