I have listed my Sony A7iii on the TP forum if anyone knows someone looking for one, save some money.

That's a bargain you have put up there, out of interest how come you are selling?

Just had one of those weird moments online, went to create a account to see this and apparently I already have an account. ...

I have no memory of this place

Are you going to treat cameras like bikes now?!

Haha definitely not, cameras are more delicate than bikes.

Big updates inbound this year for the latest A series cameras https://www.prnewswire.com/news-rel...through-major-firmware-updates-300778779.html

Finally Sony doing an upgrade rather than an update!

Shame they forget all about previous models as soon as a new one is out.

I'm interested in picking up an A7R III. It's been a while since I've had to shop around for a camera, checking google shopping prices shows such a disparity in prices for the body from 1,849 up 2,899 depending on the retailer - Jessops being at the higher end here. Is there something I'm missing here? Are there any specific retailers I should be trusting more than others?

Thanks in advance if someone can shed any light on this.

Got mine from the place that starts with Pano, excellent service. Even there warranty is good I had to use it once, post to a UK address. Got it back two weeks later fixed.

You need a certain processor inside the body for the animal eye focus and new tracking to work. The older models just dont have the ummph

Just about to pull the trigger on the A7iii.
I've ordered the Sony 85mm 1.8 and waiting for some budget for the 50mm 1.8 Zeiss.

What are your thoughts on the A7iii so far?

You mean the 55mm Zeiss? The 50/1.8 is pretty much a nift fifty, not a Zeiss, it's not in the same league as the 85/1.8 that you ordered.

oh, its a great camera.

Hi Raymond, Sorry yes I did mean the 55mm Zeiss.

Ah yes, great lens. Not the best bang for buck but its small, fast and sharp.

The Sigma 50/1.4 Art is better for value, the Zeiss 50/1.4 is best overall but most expensive.

Can I ask why the sigma 50/1.4 is better value?
