Canon to Sony?

Beav said:
To be honest I upgraded from a Canon 60D to a 6D a few years back and it may seem daft but the shutter button feels very squishy, I find it hard to hold it down half way while it focuses then actually take the photo once I press the button fully.

I'm thinking of treating myself and spending a little extra for the A7 II if I go for it. (Using the MC-11 adapter). I do have a business as well so it will get used for product photos from time to time. (Not a photography business)

Have you tried back button focusing? It will remove the need to hold the shutter button half way.

Did you swap the lenses as well or use an adapter? I know the adapters stop the auto-focus feature for video but not photos. To be honest the videos I do are for social media so I do them on my phone 16 : 9 format anyway. :)

Ummmm. Yes, sort of..... At the time I used mainly vintage manual focus lenses anyway so..... I had those in 28mm, 50mm and 135mm.

I am all auto focus now though several years later.

The worms thing is a non-issue, even in Lightroom. If you're seeing worms you're oversharpening the file.

Yep, as per my post I said the same, worms are a thing of the past since lightroom updated their algorithm (y)

I am probably missing the point, but why bother to bring up past potential issues when they were resolved some time ago.

A question was raised about the potential rendering issues with Fuji so I was answering the question.

People always assume you’re referring to the old problems of worm artefacts and/or painterly effect so pointed out these were no longer an issue to save confusion/people jumping to the wrong conclusion (y)

I think Lightroom (as opposed to Lightroom Classic) handles Fuji files much better as well. I can make my Fuji images go wormy if I really try but I have to get silly with the sharpening slider to make it happen.

I saw an interesting video that tested the Capture One is better than LR for Fuji thing, and it showed it's not true. The defaults applied to a Raw file in each program are different, and equalising the settings showed that LR was actually better in most cases.

I tried them all, Capture One, Irident, Green Ninja (I think it was called) etc etc and I could get an equally good (or bad) result in each, however on the whole I found it easier to get a good result with Lightroom, but that’s maybe because it’s my preferred editor ;)

I find that Capture One is still superior then even the latest version of Lightroom IMO. I actually downloaded C1 again and I’ve been having a play with some Fuji files off the back of this conversation and it’s still much better for me than LR.

As I said before, Fuji is the one brand that (for a number of reasons) always calls to me.

Lightrooms default sharpening is far too high for Fuji X-trans files, I have set up a custom import profile that detects Fuji X-Trans camera (from a list I've entered) and sets a lower level of default sharpening.

Lightrooms processing has improved considerably over the last few years for X-trans, but it still doesn't extract as much detail as other solutions. I'm now using DxO Pure Raw as a plug in for Lightroom for RAW processing.

Going back to the OP, early mirrorless cameras are nowhere near as good (especially in focus speed, EVF quality, LCD screen quality, object tracking etc) as later cameras. Also joystick access to the focus point makes it easier to focus correctly on the target area. Autofocus speed will matter when pgotographing puppies/dogs. Lens choice is critical as it is with all photography.

In your shoes I would suggest staying with what you have, the 6D was (and still is) a good camera (possibly lacking in focus points, but it does have a sensor that works well at higher ISO's). Save up, and whan you have a decent amount of moeny in the pot you can look at switching to a mirrorless solution.

I find lightroom default sharpening too high for a number of modern day lenses tbh, but as you say Fuji in particular don’t play nice.

You called?

Its a shame you can only set LIghtroom up to recognise cameras and apply presets, a preset based on lens detection would be nice!

That would be good (y)
