I appreciate you checking out the video and I hope it helps in any way! Thank you!
Nailed it! Thank you
Hey do use flash for your weddings
Really good honest video bro. Thank you.
Shooting with your ears!!! Nice quote!
Hello, do you think this would be a good combo with the A7III? I shoot primes and I was thinking that a 2 camera set-up would be good for wedding photography. Thanks a lot!
Hi Omar, great vid! I currently have the a6000, and am wanting to buy a second camera body. I'm deciding between the a7ii and a7Rii. Was the a7ii still good for weddings? any advice would be great thanks!!
Well thank you. This really help. Appreciate it.
Hi. Fellow photog from Vegas here. Loved your vid. Beautiful images.
Omar, so much thank you for this really good video.
Will you talk about what lenses you should use when photoing weddings?
Go Knights!
I do have This camera , But I’m not a professional, how can I set it to get these colors(like on the images on the video) Maybe someone knows
Hi Omar… I am getting ready to start as wedding photographer, actually own 3 cameras but well, although it IQ is great 2 of them are not much suitable… the Canon 1DS mkIII and the Nikon D610. The 3rd camera is a Canon 5D MarkII. Now… that the A7III and the A7RIII are on the market the A7RII's price went down nicely. Would you still recommend me buying the A7RII for weddings? What first Native lens to buy for weddings? Could I use my Sigma 24-35mm 2.0 and Canon 70-200mm 2.8 with the Sigma MC 11 adapter on the A7RII ? Thx for your advises. Other friends are welcome with commentaries. Thx.
I currently shoot with the Nikon d750, but I'm buying an a7rii at the end of the month.
Bro this was an awesome video. I'm subscribing!!!!
I only have 2 wedding's shot. I used the sony a55 yes old a mount and sony nex7
One of the finest photography channels on YouTube. Great clip. Good review. Excellent advice. Looking forward to watching more of your down to earth common-sense videos. Cheers for posting, Omar!
Great vid Omar. I just started using the A7rII and I can't believe I waited this long to make the switch from Canon. I'm looking to grab a 35 for this bad boy. I saw the review you did comparing the Rokinon and Zeiss 35 and was wondering did the eye af feature work with either of the 2. And what lens did you get these shots with. Awesome!!!! Thanks man
Great video, thanks
Very cool. Thank you.
Love the photos man. I recently switched to Sony from canon and have a few weddings coming up glad to know the Sony can handle it.
by ''grace'' I think you meant dynamic range
The A7R II is not a professional camera!! ALL professional cameras have 2 card slots. The Fuji X-T2 and a Fuji GFX 50s is the best combo. A properly processed GFX 50s will have Much Much sharper photos and Much better colors than any Full Frame camera.
Can you share your settings on your camera?
Never trust the silent shutter with working with room lighting you can run the risk of banding. Outdoors on a Sunday no problem.
Just trolling.
All joking aside I have a lot of respect for you as a photographer your not one of those Loser Lanier clowns.
I would sue you if you photographed my wedding with a Fony camera.
Loved this video!!! I just upgraded from the Sony a6000 to the a7rii! Im super excited to use it! Thanks for your honest review! Im knew to your channel so I dont know if you have a video like this or not, but I would love to see a tutorial on how you edit your photos, especially portraits of people with different skin tones! 🙂
I only ask because I’m wondering if the A72 fell short as a wedding camera for you, simply because that’s the camera I’m eyeing.
Thanks for sharing, I found this very helpful. I’m looking to get into weddings myself. Do you have a second body? Also how was your wedding experience with the A72? Thanks for your time bro in advance!!!
THE A7RII IS HEAVILY DISCOUNTED (25% OFF!) NOW ON AMAZON. JUMP ON IT GUYS! http://amzn.to/DBNdh2
You are honest. 💭💦
4:24 and 4:28 are great shots. Well done. If you don't mind, I'd like to ask you a question. When you shoot group portraits, with 2 or more people, what F stop do you choose to ensure all faces will be in sharp focus? Say I was using the 28mm. F 5.6?
Some say the absence of 2 card slots and poor battery life are the main reasons you should not make this your main camera for wedding type photography.
Nice video! Subscribed! I will be buying rhis camera this week and i needed to see reviews of it before buying it, and youe videos are pretty much what i needed lol
what would be the 3 lens you would suggest if youre into wedding?
I've been in the video world for a long time and just moving to more stills than usual for some extra $. I tried looking for a video that would explain the things you talk about during wedding photography with no luck until I came across your vid. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and tips. Your advice is really going to help me when shoot these weddings. Again great video you rock!
See if u could do a video on the best lenses, both third party and native, along with some comparisons. Wouldn't mind seeing how the Sony A7 rii does against other cameras of it's caliber. You def got a like and a sub out of me, keep up the good videos.
