Hi, I'm looking at getting a camera for amateur product photography, macro, still life and occasional landscape. It will mainly be used to take photos of products I'm selling on eBay and Etsy etc. After doing a lot of research, I've decided an APS-C camera will be more than adequate and I'd...

I'm in the process of moving from a Sony R5 and Fuji X-T5 / x100vi setup for street photography to a Sony A1 II setup. Historically I’ve used back button focusing with spot AF and tracking for street in particular - this worked very well on the Canon R5 and reasonably well on the Fuji cameras...

I just bought a Sony A7Rii and I’m enjoying so far. Only thing I can’t figure out is while recording video you can hear the sound of the lens focusing constantly. It has on a 35mm 2.8 lens and when I play the clips back it’s got a very noticeable sound from the autofocus doing minor adjustments...

Hi all, I’ve been asked if it’s possible to shoot a Timelapse for a minor bit of building work which will take 2 days - approx 20 hours of labour. Is this possible with a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 or Sony A7IV and if so, would there be any risks to the cameras in terms of overheating or burning out...

I have found it infuriating that my A6600 can change settings so readily. Once set up, if you even lightly brush against the control Wheel, you may get a very different setting. You can also touch the screen with your nose if you use the viewfinder. In the last few days I lost several shots...

Hi there, I'm looking some advice on upgrading my camera. I mostly do macro photography of butterflies and use the Canon 7D with the Canon 100mm L 2.8 macro lens. The results are stunning and I've always been very happy with what I've been able to capture. However, I'm now looking for upgraded...

What is everybody's opinion of the Sony FE 24-105? Good or bad as an everyday walkaround lens for my holiday coupled with my A7ii? I would be mostly taking pics of (in this order) Landscapes Buildings Sunrises/sunsets Cars (especially old VWs) Lets see some examples so that I can convince...

Hi.... I have a Sony RX100 vii and am a bit confused by the highlight metering. I haven't posted in the specific RX100 thread because I assume the same metering is used by other Sony cameras so someone using those may also be able to offer advice. The issue is as follows.... When I use...

I have recently acquired a Sony A7SII. Does anyone have any experience with the camera body? I seem to be having problems with the autofucus system prodominantly in the AF-C mode; where the focus just seems to pulsate without locking on to anything. I only have one lens a Samyang 135mm 1.8 AF I...

Hi All, I have received a Sony A7RV from Panamoz - however a few things lead me to believe it’s now new. No seal on the box LCD screen with the screen out and not screen side in against the camera No manual in the box I know they are grey which I don’t mind and to be fair I am not really...

Hi guys, Just finished my uni degree and looking for a budget setup (under £650) for portraiture photography. I was going to get a Sony a7r ii but people are selling them for a little too much for me. I’ve found an ad for a Sony a7 with its kit lens (28-70mm 3.5/5.6) and a viltrox lens (85mm...

As the tittle suggested: Looking for best Value TTL flash for Sony A7 IV ? My shoots are mostly in controlled environment, where I can comfortably adjust the strobes manually (using Godox FV200, or Godox AD200) Almost never shooting events, but looking for some nice small-ish on camera TTL...

Hello people, Im looking at getting a Sony a7 mk4 but I’m curious as to whether an a9 would be better suited for motorsport. Has anyone got experience of both that could share how they found the tracking af and the eye tracking? The 20fps of the a9 is appealing but I’m aware the a9 came out in...

Hello All, I have recently purchased a Sony A6600 and the RAW files will not display in my LightRoom Classic 8.1 However I have used the Sony Imaging Software to convert all the A6600 RAW files to tiff or I can down load Adobe file convertor RAW to DNG My question is, which file format is...

Hi does anybody know if the Nikon Z9 has more processing power than the Sony A1 or vice Versa? Thanks

Evening all, Been a lifelong birder and more recently a qualified Marine Mammal Surveyor. Always carried a long zoom Bridge camera to save space and weight. Had varying success with the bridge but found it just not quick enough in the field. I 'bit the bullet' recently and went to a Sony A7III...

Hey all! Just a quick one, I'm looking at renting some lenses and maybe a 2nd work horse body for certain shoots (Mainly sports so bigger lenses 400mm etc.) What website do you use or know about that would be good for this? Decent prices etc. CHEERS!

I primarily have shot with Nikon and only shot with my D500 however, I'm looking to upgrade my kit finally to get myself a 400mm lens and another work horse sports body. I currently have a Sony A7R3 and was wondering what peoples thoughts were on using that and a 400mm f2.8 lens would be like...

Hi everyone, Fairly new here and have been looking for my first camera for a while now. I have been looking at the xt3 and a6500 and have recently been looking at the full frame A7R II. Ideally I want to spend under £1000 on the camera itself. I am mainly interested in street photography and...

Hello, I have recently purchased a used Sony NEX-7 and and have been using it with my Sony 50mm f1.8 OSS E Mount, SEL50F18 When the camera is focusing using Flexible spot AF or centre point the AF is pulsing slightly backwards and forwards on the target, meaning I cannot get a sharp image ! ...

Hi all, I am hoping to get a Full Frame Sony lens for my current Sony mirroless a NEX5R and my future purchase of either A6600 or A7iii After reading some reviews it seems the Sony 24-70 f4 ( SEL2470Z ) is not that sharp even though it is image stabilized. What alternatives can I look in...

Its been a few years since I sold up all my Canon 70D and lenses but Im missing a proper camera after using my phone for family shots. Question is what are people now buying? It was always Canon and Nikon with a little Sony and others behind but I feel the game has changed a little. I also used...

Morning All, It's been some time since i've been on TP but pop in now and then for a read. I'm not fully up to date nowadays so was looking for some advice - but first some history. Many moons ago my main use was motorsport but i moved away from that and then it was predominantly airsoft as i...

Hi! So I have recently started looking into photography and am really excited to start! I’ve been looking at many different cameras and am currently really interested in this one: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F293123093666 Is this a good...

Hi I am looking for an action camera which has a very good full HD (not 4k). I was recently looking at GoPro Hero Black 7 and DJI osmo action but cannot find much about quality of their full HD. As these are expensive, I researched cheaper options, and cam across SJCAM SJ8 Pro - which supposedly...

Hiya, I'm planning on selling my Sony A290 digital camera with the 18-55mm lens. It was passed on to me but is sadly not being used and is taking up space. So what I came to the forum to ask is what would be a decent price to sell this camera at? Auction or buy it now? Where would you recommend...

Hi all, I'm currently studying A Level Photography (1st year) and have been tasked with a project running from now until the end of May. It can be on whatever we want, but to be honest that's just a little background information on this question. I've come across some photographers while...
