"Last, but not least, I want to talk about image quality.

In fact, cameras like Canon 7D Mark II, Nikon D7100 and Fuji X-T1 seem to perform similarly in comparison, which is rather disappointing.

The question was crop sensor going to full size sensor...do you not understand the conclusion here? Wtf...it says performance is similar or worse to crop sensor cameras like a Nikon d7100...hence going from a crop a6000 sony to this will FF Sony will not yield any noticible improvements in image and performance.

So you quote this article comparing a nikon when the question was about a sony a6000?

https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/...ha-7-ii/12

Also the nikon is not $1000 inc lens

Come on dude

I made the same switch (paid $1500 for mine). Definitely worth it at this price.

The one thing that's a downgrade is the burst rate. You'll go from 10 fps with the a6000 to 5 fps with the a7 II. If you're shooting fast action, stick with the a6000.

Everything else is a significant upgrade. Low light performance, shallower depth of field, dynamic range.

I recently upgraded from the a7ii to the a7iii but man did I love that camera. Anyone considering moving from APS-C to full frame should jump on this deal, keeping in mind that Black Friday is just around the corner and similar deals are undoubtedly a few weeks away.

What are the significant differences between the ii and iii and is it worth the increase in price?

Can it track moving subject well. I am good if it can track with at least center af point as good as canon rebels.
