Reddit mentions of Sony a7R II Full-Frame Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera, Body Only (Black) (ILCE7RM2/B), Base, Base

/u/crescentcompositions - if both stills and video are a priority, I would sell the D7000 and get a [$3198 5-axis stabilized A7r II] (https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Full-Frame-Mirrorless-Interchangeable-ILCE7RM2/dp/B00ZDWGFR2/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20), a [$19.99 adapter for your Nikkors] (https://www.amazon.com/Mount-Adapter-Concept-mount-Camera/dp/B00LECYFKE/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) and a [$249.95 (on sale) Adorama 3Pod Orbit 3 Section Carbon Fiber Tripod with Q2 Fluid Video Head] (http://adorama.evyy.net/c/60286/51926/1036?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.adorama.com%2F3pp3cork3.html).

That will give you a camera with 5-axis internal stabilization for smooth run and gun - and leave you with over $1500 for native Sony lenses.

Without a gimbal, this camera can produce handheld video that looks like this:

  In my view, this camera produces the highest still and video quality combination in this price class (and there's no way the GH5 will be able to compete with its sensor size or still image resolution).
  
  Hope this is helpful, good luck putting your package together and best of the holidays to you and yours!
  

If you want comparable quality (or better) then stick with Sony and pick up the a7RII. Nothing else even comes close, including the Fuji.

Side by side comparisons show the Sony blows the Canon out of the water with almost no comparison between them. In fact, the Sony a7RII is presently the highest rated camera on the market (by the numbers) and it's much lighter and smaller overall than the Canon or the Nikon.

The Sigma Art lenses work flawlessly on the Sony so you can still execute on your plan to pick up the full line.

You may also want to consider picking up a lightweight monopod. Get a collapsible one and sling it so you don't need to carry it and when you go to shoot you'll be a lot happier for it.

Edit: I felt it mattered. I shoot with the Nikon D810 with the 14-24, 24-70, 70-200mm f2.8 Nikon lenses.

This prosumer camera is over $3K and that doesn't even come with the lens. If you want some really nice pictures you have to pay the big bucks.

You might want to consider the A7Rii if you do primarily photos. It can produce 42MP still images, a resolution almost 4x higher than the A7S II.

A7sii is a better video camera but the A7rII is very capable in doing video as well.

The S II is only a 12MP camera... so if you're frustrated by resolution now....

A7R II http://amzn.to/2juRlHL plus a rokinon 24mm 1.4 makes an awfully nice star shooter - and an everything else shooter.

Sony A7RII I love this camera!

If you don't mind going used, Amazon warehouse has 20% off.

The A7RII is $1397 -20% = 1117

You can actually get one here for under 2k. The problem is that Sony lenses are fairly expensive, so keep that in mind.

Don't think anyone mentions the A7RII Deal on Amazon

Is this a good deal in 2019? I'm currently on a a6000, and have been wanting to upgrade,

Not sure if this is the chance, or if its not worth in 2019.

i believe he shoots full frame as well and with high end lenses so that helps. these arent iphone shots

yep just checked EXIF of recent photo. shooting with this:
