I bought a used Sony A77ii from eBay for £450. The RRP of this camera is £1200, so I thought that was a bargain. The screen was a bit scratched but luckily isn’t visible during normal use. The 79 focus point over the 15 I had on my previous camera really helps, as with the faster frames per second shooting.
I also bought a Rode microphone at the same time, and I’ve been impressed with the video capabilities so far. SteadyShot really helps my shaky hands and the audio from the mic is very good. The camera can record video in XAVC-S 1080p 60fps which is very good quality. Here are some sample clips:
