Sony a7ii or upcoming mirrorless full frame?

Badger_grr · 1 Apr 2016 at 20:50

Just sold my nikon d5100 and lenses as I want to move into full frame and something more compact.

At the moment my eye is on an A7ii and the Sony fe 35mm f2.8 which I think would make a nice tidy combo and also force me to move around more instead of using zoom lenses and super wide angle.

I'm on holiday in July so I will need something new by then but I was wondering people's thoughts on alternatives or news of upcoming mirrorless cameras. I have read canon and nikon may be releasing end of the year but that will be too late for my trip.

Many thanks

Some great points here guys. With regards to zoom lenses and longer than 35mm I just don't take portraits or much close up material. Mostly this will be used for traveling, city/ town shots, landscapes and groups of people. I will have a look into olympus but I was put off by the size 4/3s sensor. I always felt with my d5100 couldn't capture the subject matter without being further away and ended up using 11-16 tokina most of the time.
I also like to take night shots and I believe the full frame will allow me to achieve a better picture in lower light.

Yes I have a tripod I normally use for low light shooting

Well I'm just an amateur. A friend has the Sony and I do like it which why it's top of of the list but I haven't handled any of the others. This camera will be used for the next 5 to 10 years so I want something to last.

The other camera I might be interested in is em1 which is m43. It looks nice, I will have to get a look in person.

I'm also not after a bang for buck camera, like I said I will not be upgrading for a long time so regardless of what lenses I choose etc I want a good quality Base to work off.
