i tested and used AF-C mode with a wide AF points selected on my Sigma 35,, ART f1.4 canon mounted lens and i was really surprised how well it tracked!

Having not really been keeping up with the tech for the last few years I must say they are cramming an awful lot of things in to the cameras now. Impressive list of things such as the S-Log2 and multi frame NR!

Think the first has to be my fave though, but you've some lovely shots there

Thanks and yes the amount of stuff packed on this little camera is sensational!

Number 4 is definitely my favourite. - The composition and lighting/colour contrast really make it look like your peering into a live action postcard of the funfair. Nice!

Shot 7 I assume taken from a ride is not a easy one to expose, especially impressive if taken whilst moving. I assume the image stabilisation showed it's good use here.

And some crit. - no offence intended - purely for constructive purposes.
In my opinion avoid using the auto exposure modes when you can. Such as in the church/outdoors.

In contrast to AHarvey to me No.1 is the worst. badly exposed, the top is cropped out, not focused, has motion blur, pointy elbows etc...
Taken in portrait, with a shorter shutter speed could have worked better.
Church interiors are never easy with the low but high contrasting light.

5&6 don't work for me, either a much longer or shorter exposure would have worked, either to show the rapid vast movement or to have captured the moment precisely.

No.3 - I admit to pixel peeping, however cant easily identify the focus point here. Again I think the auto mode may have let you down.

More importantly - how are you finding the A7R2 ? It looks like you had a fun trip and managed to capture some of the fun
