7dii. In bushy park right now trying the lens out for the first time. The 7d means I can hand hold with a shoulder strap. Been out for a few hours and not tired yet.

So you need reach more than IQ/ Low noise? because going to a 1dx3 or indeed an a9 will lose you reach

Yes I'm aware. All a balance. 1.4tc would make thing viable.

Is that from a seller or Amazon proper? Saw it mentioned on Talk Photography but could only find it that cheap from individual sellers.

Buy it from Pana Moz and get a 3 year UK warranty and it’s £1350 too.

Excellent find, thank you.

Amazon cashback is misleading as it states £300 for A7iii but on Sony website it's only £150!

That Pana Moz deal is great especially with the warranty. Made your mind up yet @SpartaK

?

No problem.

I got my A7 iii from them and they were excellent.

It was indeed, just a shame I have no clue when it comes to taking photos, just like new shiny stuff

Haha, what lens/lenses are you using with it?

I had the Tamron 28-75 2.8, 55 1.8, 35 1.4 and a 70-200 2.8.

Sadly they are all gone now, I’ve been looking at the A7R3 for the higher resolution as I’d like to have some artwork printed onto canvas for my house.

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.

A7iii has usb c which you can connect to computer for direct download off the camera. Not sure how quick it is tho.

off load to cloud with RAW file that can be 100mb will eat up any mobile data plan like mad and also you need fibre connection to be able to download it to PC faster than SD speeds.
