Got my A7rii today. Really great camera. Coming from shooting Canon for my entire pro life, it's really weird moving to a different system, but there are some really nice touches that show that the Sony system is really well thought out, AF Performance with Sony lenses (at least with the 24-70...

Check back with me in 12 hours. Should have mine by then.

Ended up going for a Fotodiox Pro as the early reports said it was faster than the Metabones IV on the α7rII- I can believe that as the IV has a microprocessor in-body which (going from early indications) appears to get in the way and actually slow down the new AF system.

I'm certainly looking forward to it. I think I'll notice the difference in IQ the most as the 1D Mark IV was 5 years old. I've had a fair bit of mirrorless experience prior to this with the Panasonic Lumix range and Olympus OM-D range, so I know what I'm in for with regard to the EVF. I think...

No - I'm moving to the system from Canon. Previously I've shot a Canon 1D Mark IV. Sold everything last month to preorder the α7rII. Third party lens wise, I'll be testing with my two remaining Canon lenses: Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS USM (never seen any Sony...

My α7rII is due for delivery tomorrow hopefully (WEX are expecting their delivery today so they should ship out today for delivery tomorrow) . Once I get it I'll try do an unboxing and a review, but I'm not really very good at doing technical reviews. I'll try to answer the questions on the big...

When it arrives I'll be sure to post the mandatory unboxing video and try to feed back to everyone on here about how I'm finding it. Having never used an A7 before I will be limited to my views as a Canon user.

That sounds like a great idea! Its certainly going to be an interesting transition for me, and others who are switching too. A thread would definitely help. Im using a Lumix FZ1000 as an interim camera right now, so it will be interesting to see how that compares too.

Well I can't say I truly belong on this thread yet as I'm not yet an A7x owner, but I've 'just' part-ex'd my one remaining Canon camera body to pre-order the A7rII. It's a bit of a risk for me, but I've realised that over the last two years the Canon 1D Mark IV has only come out of the house for...

Having done a street walk or two in London (and possibly the exact one you were looking at), I know a good route to follow and what shots to look for.

I'd be up for that!

My Girlfriend just got a Sony HX9V. I looked carefully at the Nikon S9100 and Canon Powershot IS220 / IS230 in comparison. The dPreview Travel Zoom Group Test was VERY Helpful for this. In the end, I discounted the Nikon S9100 because while it gets good write-ups, the owner reviews indicate...

Had a NEX-5n since early December. Mine originally came with the clicking problem so it was RMA'd back to Sony within 24 hours of it coming out of the packaging. All credit to Sony though, they got it back in just over a week. Now the problem is non-existent. Its replaced a Canon G12 as my...

Its an odd day if I don't have my Lowepro Passport Sling on me with my NEX-5n 18-55mm + 16mm with me. Its useful for me because it holds everything I need for pretty much any situation, and I don't have to fill up my pockets with things. The 1D Mark IV - Not as often as I'd like due to the...
