Smaller camera advice & thoughts please?

[justintime2001]

Looking to buy a smaller camera. I use a Canon 7D Mk2 but I want to find something smaller and easier to lug around. I am considering the Sony Alpha A7 III Mirrorless Digital Camera and just wondered what you folks think of them and any advice on alternatives please? Only going to be used for general photography and occasionally with a long lens. Thank you.

The A7iii or the A7Riii is a good shout for a fairly compact setup that doesn't cost the earth. Personally I prefer the A7Riii as the extra resolution is there for macro crops, and the AF is good enough for street.

You could look at an A7C or A7Cii if you want something smaller again, but it doesn't feel as good in the hand with larger lenses and the EVF is worse.
