That’s great :)
Let’s hope future Sony bodies incorporate Animal Eye-AF :D
 
All important screen protectors arrived yesterday. Got a multi pack as usually go wrong or get annoyed with a tiny spec of dust and in anger throw the protector on the floor :ROFLMAO:

Agree,I think only twice have I been successful and that’s an awful low percentage

For the first time ever when I put mine on the A7III it went on with no issues at all not even the tiniest bit of dust. :cool:
 
If you get a spec of dust you carefully lift it and use a piece of sellotape to lift the dust then drop the protector down again ;)
 
Anyone else ordered the 135 Art 1.8? I got it from Toby deals there, not bad at £832 incl delivery. Definitely miss the compression of the longer lenses. Can't wait to get it
 
Your collection is building nicely, you'll have every Art prime soon?

I'd have the 14mm 1.8 and 20 1.4 if they didn't have bulbous elements lol

Cannot wait to get this 135 though. Was absolutely spectacular on Canon when it hit the point, will get only a small amount of use during weddings but it will add alot I'm hoping
 
Hi TPers, does Sony has a default App for iOS or Android with wifi connection just like Canon's Camera Connect? I know on A7II and A7rII they are using playmemories which is now disabled in their third generation. What's the viable alternative?

Thanks.

Pretty sure playmemories still does this, it's only the built in apps that have been removed from the camera.

Can confirm. Playmemories still works.
 
So excluding the resolution difference how does the A7RIII compare with the A7III?

A7R3 Pros

EVF, LCD.
It also has pixel shift for sharper images.
No AA filter

A73 Pros
Better AF system
AF points covers more of the frame, and more of them
A fraction better in DR
Faster write to cards (being smaller files).
Has AA filter so actually preferred if you shoot fabric like weddings (I do anyway)

Has much better 4K video, same as A9 but with picture profiles for grading
 
The Sony A7 III has to be contender for camera of the year.
Can’t fault it for the money. :)

I come home and turn my computer on and see this...

Stop it.

I'll have to make my mind up, Currys still haven't got them in but If I decide to get one maybe Wex will price match.

I think most people would take the better EVF over marginal improvement in battery life :p

True but they had to make some cut backs on the A7iii!

Focus system on the A7iii works better for me than the A7riii

Can't say I noticed a huge lot of difference but I haven't really used the A7III much.

I'll keep my A7RIII :D

Got the 70-200GM yet?
