  • APSC crop 6700 vs FF a7C ii or M iv and lens suggestion plz for 3 lacs

    Posted by Prashanth Linkala on March 26, 2024 at 1:12 pm

    Hi Everyone! Greetings for all the passionate photographers.

    Myself Prashanth. Initially had bit used to with Nikon 7200.
    Planning to buy a camera with lens budget 2 to 3 lacs.

    Purpose: multi purpose hybrid cam – Portraits, travel, street, landscape and video purpose as well..

    I have gone through many models and decided to go with Sony and listed these two models.

    Sony Full frame A7C ii and other is Apsc crop sensor 6700

    which are both newer models released in late 2023 with few newer features added.

    option 1

    ———-

    Sony A6700 body

    sigma 18-50 mm F2.8 DC DN or Sony E 16-55 f2.8 G

    Sigma 56 F1.4 DC DN prime lens

    E70-350 mm F4.5-6.3 G OSS

    costing me around 3 lakhs. Is it worth this money on Apsc?

    2

    option to go with full frame body. a7M iii or a7M iv or A7C ii which is compact body.

    M3 is reasonable but dont like the screen and is almost 6 years old model and 8 bit.

    A7C ii is compact and full frame with AI auto focus but has single memory slot.

    where as M4 has no AI auto focus and costs 20k more on the body.

    Lens

    ——

    Sony FE 50 mm 1.8 prime which is compact and costs around 20k

    Tamron 28-75mm F2.8 Di iii VXD G2 – 65k or

    Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 Dg DN – 98k

    FE 24-70 F2.8 GM – 140k or

    FE 24-105mm F4 G OSS – 85k

    Required initially one lens around 24 to 75 mm and
    1 prime lens preferred 50mm, 1 zoom lens.

    More confused how much money to spend on prime or zoom lens.

    PLEASE SUGGEST ON THE CAMERA AND LENS I CAN GO WITH If i have to go with full frame for 3 lakhs budget.

    Thanks a lot, Gr8 day!

    With a budget of 3 lakhs, I would recommend you to go with a full frame body like the A7C series and with remaining budget go for Sony lens and avoid third part lens. Difficult to get single lens to accommodate all genre of photography. Go with a multipurpose lens like the 24-105 to get started with and then slowly get new lenses.
