i only use the higher res A7’s and have used A7r (now in Amey’s camera museum) a7RII (spare)and A7RIV which is my main camera.
you can break it down by resolution
12.2 mp usually filming biased/high iso/low noise
24-36mp probably where you should look if hi res isn’t needed.
42-61mp high resolution biasedso A7II, A7III, A7IV, A7C or maybe A7RII might be worth looking at, i have no idea of prices though.
if 12mp is enough then A7s/A7sII
Mr_Smyth-
Thank you - I don't see any major need for super high resolution, it's pretty rare my photos end up anywhere other than the internet. But then a6500 seems to be 24mp and it's maybe a mistake to go down from that.
A7SIII seems like it would be perfect for me but way over budget unfortunately.
Almost seems like I should maybe get an A7 i and just use that for photography and keep a6500 for video. But I have too much excess camera stuff I'm not using already.
I just don't have time to do proper research on it now. But from a quick look at ebay A7 iii seems to go for 700ish and still shoots 4K, so maybe that makes sense.
Need to check what I can sell a6500 + lens for first too.

Can anyone advise me which Sony full frame mirrorless to buy second hand for maybe around £1000?
I currently have an A6500 but I want a full frame as I've got a really nice full frame Sony macro lens and I don't think I'm getting the best out of it using it on a crop sensor.
But I also sometimes need to shoot video for work and definitely want 4k video.
I guess I could potentially keep the A6500 for video and get an older A7, but probably makes sense to sell the A6500 and get one thing for both, but am a bit confused by all the models... anyone with more experience able to advise?
