There is a new fw update for the R3 that allows you to do pixel shift images at 0.5 seconds plus some eye af improvements
To be fair I don't need to. All the things I've listed I will miss but aren't deal breakers. Better to have the better quality and low light ability.I'm sure you cam make a feature pro's and cons list comparison yourself on paper to see exactly what you lose and gain.
Buy one with a 5 year warranty that covers water damage, or get insurance privately that covers it. It's the only way to be safe.To be fair I don't need to. All the things I've listed I will miss but aren't deal breakers. Better to have the better quality and low light ability.
The only thing stopping me ordering one is the incredible lack of waterproofing the a7 has. Was reading some reviews and the connection covers aren't water sealed so it's a fair weather camera only. That's maybe a deal breaker. I sometimes get caught out in bad weather and the em1 is just shrugs it off. I've even washed it under the tap before now .
I think you are exaggerating the issue somewhat and it has already been covered in detail in tests and teardowns on Youtube. People's Sony A7R3's have not been dying like flies because of a little rain. How often are you going to be putting them bottom-down in water? For 95% of situations other than downpours or rainforests etc it will be fine.My household covers my current camera anyway so that isn't an issue. The thought of ruining a 2 grand cause it's started to rain bothers me. Not had to think about rain for years now.

Video reviews with a light misty shower for a few minutes filling the battery compartment of the Sony with water does not instil much confidence!!!! Why they didn't bother with waterproofing I will never know.
But I have GAS so I know I will end up buying one. Just deciding which of the three suits me
Nah, haven't seen any use for it yet to be honest and I haven't been lugging my tripod around with my lately.Anyone tried pixel shift on their A7Riii yet? I've not tried it, but I might give it a go later and do some tests to see if there's any improvement,
I haven't got any comments about Eye-AF because that has it's quirks and it's just something you need to figure out, but which 50mm lens was it?p.s. It's amazing what a single 50mm lens can do !
Guessing 1.2? Insane Bokeh!I haven't got any comments about Eye-AF because that has it's quirks and it's just something you need to figure out, but which 50mm lens was it?
He said native lens, so can't be the 1.2. Guessed it was the 1.4, but just wanted to make sure in case he had somehow managed to work miracles with the f1.8.Guessing 1.2? Insane Bokeh!
Do you generally use spot focus for moving subjects or area focus? Apologies for the questions all the timeActually it’s the Zeiss 1.4

ray use the model dials to create additional settings
Do you guys use wide focus area much at all?
