The Amazing Sony A1/A7/A9/APS-C & Anything else welcome Mega Thread!

I think switching about is great, keeps it fresh. There's morons on here who think everyone is 'loyal' to a brand, or gets overly defensive about someone trying to slate what they use ... pfffft, it's lumps of plastic and metal, designed to aid us in the only real important part, capturing the image.

People have labelled me a fanboy in this thread when I was using Nikon and slating Sony but to me it's a badge, a logo, nothing more, I just want to use what performs the best for me. After using so many cameras I know all the systems weaknesses, none are perfect but I'll praise the all rounder that delivers during that gen, don't care who makes it.
 
Will tell you tomorrow what I think of the A7iii lol.

Is silent shooting at 8fps a bit on a no go? Get strange distortion?

Don't do it for fast moving stuff.... People are okay though.

If we all take a little time to step back, and really look at what we smack talk on ere, it is just that. Gear talk. I have no idea why anyone ever gets upset or angry about gear that we have no shares in! People seem to think for some reason I do, but it couldn't be further from the truth. I'll drop any make or model like a hot snot as soon as I get the urge for something else. Bit like my love life history ... Though, I am owned by one major brand atm ... :D

Dump it all and buy the a7iii. trust me.
 
Tbf though if I filled my bag with sand and salt water a Pentax is the most likely camera to survive... Their weather sealing is insane.
Fair point but as I don’t intend filling my bag with sand and water,I won’t bother :D
 
I’ve got to say the advancements made in the A73, for its price, it’s ahead of anything I expect from a camera, if the A9 and A7R3 came after it, I’d think it would’ve had an even bigger impact

Yup, they really wanted to screw canikons new arrivals.
 
Yeah them London dudes got some expendables (n)

AH that explains it, you get paid like 10x your worth in London, though it costs 6x to live there to begin with and they're still all miserable :D


Kidding btw lads, though I have been to London 6 times now, and it does have a 'certain' vibe ... :cautious:

Last time was to see the mighty MAIDEN :plus1:
