I'm planning to move to full frame from my Olympus OM-D E-M5 (micro 4/3) setup.
I'd narrowed it down to these two options and went and had a fairly lengthy play with both. I was expecting a clear winner but that wasn't the case. Both would involve significant compromises.
I shoot mainly studio and location portraiture of one form or another, and a bit of street work and candid portraiture. Plus the inevitably family snappery.
The pros and cons as I see them..
Nikon D750
+ A proper 'pro' camera
+ Good battery life
+ Decent tracking autofocus
+ Good range of lenses
+ More 3rd party accessories
- Massive
- No EVF
- poor ergonomics
Sony A7II
+ Decent EVF
+ Small, light
+ In-body stabilisation
- Tracking AF merely adequate
- Poor battery life (but probably no worse than Olympus)
- No good f2.8 standard zoom
- uncomfortable
- poor ergonomics
Has anyone else made a similar switch? Or moved from one to the other? I'm interested in all relevant views & experience. In particular, if you found the Sony uncomfortable to hold but got used to - or failed to - that would be worth knowing.
