I think I am liking this Sony camera.


Sure it doesn’t have the true AF of the A9 but it is still ridiculously good value, its £1,000 less than a 5D4 ! The icing on the cake and what really clinch it is the Eye-AF in continuous.

EVF and LCD isn’t top spec but that doesn’t affect IQ so not a worry.

DR is currently one of the best you can get.

24mp is a sweet spot.

Dual cards (okay it should be the same in both but that’s for another thread!)

Flip screen.

Wifi enabled.


I have mapped a couple of the Custom buttons to mirror my Canon set up, using the AEL as Eye-AF, almost like a back button focus, but instead of tracking the body of a subject, it is tracking the eye, amazing. I just hope this can work against a face in the crowd.


There are many times where in the 5D4, and I would normally use single point focus AF single shot and it would miss focus, and is really frustrating. I can’t wait to really try out this system….Have an enagement shoot on Good Friday next week, will use it in tandum with my 5D4 and see how it compares side by side. Which means I need to really shoot something with it first to at least get to know it a bit better.

UK Stock, 3 year Sony warranty. Try again. :)



I would never have expected to be able to get a good discount on a (just about out) camera body, to be totally fair. I'll gloat for a while, because why not, eh? :banana:

Spill the beans then.

I can't, yet. But you already have an A7III, don't you? So..

That isn’t the point.

If it’s a way that no one else’s can do, like make use of a family discount then why not just say? It’s not like we can use your family member.

People are just curious why a retailer would give discount on a product that is brand new in high demand. There are no reasons to.
 
And I could be tempted to get a 2nd body ;)
 
Not right coming on here saying I got a good deal and wont share the details..

Basically, this. It’s 80% a genuine discount and 20% a glitch, increasing the already genuine discount further. Not a family deal, just a normal UK camera dealer. Don’t wanna rock the apple cart, see.

What you are trying to say is, you've found a misprice, placed an order, don't want a bunch of people flooding in an trigger the alarm and ruin your masterplan.

I am not that interested in the "glitch", that can be recalled any second but more interested in who would give 20% off for something brand new in high demand.

Sort of. Found an offer, but the dealer had a further money off deal which took more money off, which it probably shouldn’t have. The rest of what you said though.. yep. Don’t wanna flood the website with orders and have it go tits up - that helps nobody. If you also happen to find it, I suggest you do the same.

Happy to do someone a favour. But at the expense of my order being cancelled, I am not. I’m not an idiot.

When my order goes through I’ll post it here, I was always going to. Next time I won’t bother. Save myself a telling off from the morality police.

Adobe just told me it be 3-4 month before update comes for our camera. Can’t be right?

Well companies usually don't put their best and brightest on the stands especially for dear old blighty.

If I did believe it I'd just take it as added incentive to abandon their stupid subscription model.

I’ve already helped a few people get money off too. I’m not posting it on the open forum - for reasons stated above. As far as I see it, I’m doing my bit.

Berating someone generally speaking doesn’t foster friendships, I find.

Nor does mentioning amazing deals but then refusing to share them because you want to make sure you get first dibs.

I have zero problem with you getting a good deal and honestly wish you the best of luck with it but if you're not willing to share you probably shouldn't mention it in the first place.

I have shared, with quite a few folk. So, I suggest you dismount from your high horse, as lofty as it may be, up there.

High horse? I wished you luck and gave you a suggestion on how you can avoid sending the wrong message. Get a grip man.

Confused as to how me sending other forum members details to get money off is sending a wrong message. Thought I made it fairly obvious why I didn't post it on the forum. Not sure why you're getting your nickers in a twist over it. As others have done, just PM me and i'll tell you.

If I genuinely didn't want to help I wouldn't have posted it, would I? *facepalm*
