Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Firstly I I have no prior experience in cameras besides Point&Shoots. I have been using a Cannon S90 for the last 4 years honing my skill in composition and exposures before making the investment in the big leagues. My friend who is a professional residential photographer who uses DSLRs recommended me to go with Mirrorless. I mainly wanted a camera for night photography/exploring/traveling. He pointed me to Mirrorless cameras as it is more compact & light weight, yet having specs that rivals DSLRs. For the kit lens I went with online reviews that all said it was a fair lens for the cost. I fell in love as soon as I shot for the first time & realized what I've been missing out on all these years. This camera has allowed me to explore a different style of photography as I can do things that I previously couldn't. I have taken some amazing shots with this relatively intuitive camera. You can see some of my Sony A7ii Kit Lens pics on my Instagram account --> @Parker.Chan Although the kit lens is pretty decent for low light as the INTERNAL STABILIZER in the body helps a lot, if low light photography is what you are into you should invest in a better lens - as I feel like I have already outgrown the lens (though not taking anything away from it. Just look at my low light shots 'Lightroom Edited.') Overall the A7II is a YES. - Light weight yet solid feel - Sleek - Relatively intuitive to use, yet highly customizable functions - Pricing: well worth every penny if you enjoy photography The kit lens is a YES for beginners. - Good lens to start for beginners who have no idea where to start. Very versatile range for both landscape & portraits. - Paired with Internal Stablizing function of the A7ii, you can pull of fairly low shutter speed shots by hand @ 1/25 maybe 1/20. - I really enjoy it and will continue using it for daytime photography.
