fp Mirrorless

I shoot on Sigma FP L, pretty much the smallest full frame cinema camera existing, the autofocus on that thing is non existent, but it has electronic contacts for modern lenses, unlike this GoPro, I just don't know how your friend is going to use this thing.

Perfect for Sigma FP L too !

the a7cr is the direct higher end version of the a7cii, buy for most people the sensor is probably overkill and the rest is the same. so for you a7cii might just be the best option. the canon r8 is cheaper, slightly lighter and arguably more ergonomic, they are pretty similar but the a7cii has ibis

Speaking as an fp owner, it really depends where you're coming at this from i.e. when you say 'beginner', is that to photography/videography in general or to cinema cameras, workflows, etc. If completely new to manual settings, exposure triangle, use of NDs, etc., let alone 'processing raw cDNG, col
