The Sony A73/A7R3/A7S3/A9 Thread

Is a Sony A7iii with the Tamron 28-75 a good shout for someone who wants to branch into portraits and general every day family pics?

Yea it's cool

That’s what I’m using mine for with some sport action in the mix too. It’s probably overkill for everyday shots given the size of the system but if it works for you then great

Hmmm I hadn't considered size.

The A7Mk3 is a fantastic camera IMO. Fave I've owned....until I bought the A74 Mk IV.

One area which really needs to be improved across all DSLR, Mirrorless and Compact cameras is the transfer of the photos from the camera.

We are nearly in 2020 and I can't believe you still need to exit the memory card and plug it into a computer to get at the photos.
Yes there is wireless transfer option but the process is nearly impossible to setup and if you do get the camera connected by wireless the interface is super clunky to use.

Give me photo cloud storage for a small fee each month and all my images auto transfer from the camera via WiFi or a data signal.

Any A7III owner without that lens has more money than sense

New firmware inbound for you A7iii/A7RIII/A7RIV users, only minor though.

 

[Spleen Sauce]

The only update I really want for my A7R3 is to change the colour of the focus point selector. Its too dark, especially in low-light situations. You'd think this would be simple to implement.

• Improves the overall stability of the camera

Love me some speculation and rumours - a supposed A7 IV around the corner with a fully articulating screen. I know Sony are ahead of the game with a number of technologies so recent updates are incremental but hope it's more than just the screen .

The tumbleweeds continue for the A7siii......

 

[MacRS4]

Ah man - if it had that screen I'd be all over it! Cos obviously I need it //ignores pile of cameras to my left.

 

[The_Abyss]

Yeah, I’d love a better screen and higher res EVF, but won’t upgrade from the iii alone for those.

 

[And]

My A9 is currently with Sony Service Centre (Pencoed). Since around October the shutter half press was becoming unresponsive - not good for a camera which at that time was 6 months old.

You tempted by the 1dxiii? Or have you converted to sony completely?

 

[And]

No, quite happy shooting in silence and carrying 3lbs less

You tempted?

I would love it tbh. I've just bought the 500mm prime so out of pocket for now.

The weight thing doesn't bother me as much.
