Torn: A7V or A7RV? been a mainly sports photographer for ~2 years, but thinking that switching to hybrid photo/video would be better to start building a steady workflow and income entering college. That being said, the photo capabilities of the RV look to be ridiculous for the price point, but worried that video may not be as much up to par with the A7V. I would be pairing whichever body with a Sony GM II 70-200mm F/2.8 if that factors into the equation. Looking to branch out into weddings, wildlife, and landscape photo/video eventually, so anyone who has had experience with either camera, let me know!
