@woof woof the soft focus reminds me of an old film camera (might just have been the ones I played around with as a kid tbf ), I quite like the effect although annoying if it was unintended.

@snerkler having had a think about it I am probably concerned about nothing; it is not like a computer really that is only supported for so long! @woof woof hmm I was just pricing this up this morning before seeing your post. Definitely getting closer and I did get the opportunity to see and...

@mike_6480 I hadn’t had chance to have a look at the deals today. £1,100 for the camera with the kit lens seems amazing! Do you think that they may be discontinuing the A7iii soon?

Thank you all, there is a lot for me to think about here. Visiting Wex tomorrow, they have a much larger range of cameras / lenses. I don't want to simply rush into a purchase but do understand there is an element of personal preferences which I will only learn by getting started!

@snerkler thank you! Just had a Quick Look at your website - you aren't based a million miles from me, I'm in Nottingham. Both from a bit of a play about and speaking to people on here and others I know I don't add the 16-35 from day 1, I think it will likely be my next purchase. I should add...

@ancient_mariner size / weight is a consideration, I was quite surprised at the heft of the A7iii with the 24-105 attached. It's not the end my world at all but I'm not sure I'd want anything heavier for the type of photography I'm looking to do.

@ancient_mariner I'm interested in architectural / built environment, cars / motorbikes (stills, likely won't be taking photos of motorsports), street photography and portraits. I would like to eventually use my camera to take photos for my website / business for promotional purposes too mainly...

@woof woof the costs are definitely piling up! I have already considered processing software and have an Adobe Photoshop / Lightroom subscription which I have started playing around with. Had a go at my first ever street photography style photo today when the opportunity of this guy watching...

@ancient_mariner I did try the camera with the 24-105; it was a bit of a beast tbf! @f/2.8 I'm open to buying the body with a different lens, appreciate the kits are the best value. The guy in the shop didn't seem to rate the 28-70 very highly.

Yes, it was a typo, the deal includes the FE 28-70mm Lens, not a 24-70mm lens. The other deal includes a 24-105mm Lens.

Bit of a duplicate post but looking for Sony specific opinions on this: Background: looking for my first mirrorless set up. I used to have a Nikon D300 DSLR MANY years ago and never really got out of auto. Enjoying taking photos on my iPhone so much I want to get into photography more. This time...

Thank you all so far for your opinions, advice and help. It is very much appreciated. I went to my local branch of London Camera Exchange today. They didn't have the two retro Nikons but I got chance to have a look at a Sony option. The staff were very friendly and knowledgable. I was really...

@lindsay thank you!

I've just found out my local branch of Wex Photo Video (Nottingham) has an event on Friday. That's my office day, so I think I'll be taking an hour or so to have a walk up there. @Stephen L thank you! I am a little confused by the APS-C v full frame sensors as to which would work best for the...

Thank you both, much appreciated!
