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

Silent shooting is dangerous. Although only shooting 8fps I have come back with waaaaaaaaaay too many photos.
 
Well this is costing me a fortune going round all these threads!!!

Decided to join the Sony guys for a try now after being through the Canon and Fuji sections so just purchased an A7III with the Sigma MC-11 for now.

Amazed at how well it seems to work with a lot of the Canon primes in decent light but will add a dedicated Sony lens soon i hope.

Some lenses are better than others but pretty crazy how well canon lenses work on a non canon camera.

Only one its a little hit and miss on at the moment seems to be the 50 f1.2 but not tried it on the 500 f4 yet :D
 
Doing my first Sony, well mostly Sony wedding today been pretty happy. Just having dinner and looked through some stuff from today.

Only major pain is every time I drop the camera to my side it is changing the shooting from single too timer and all sorts. Pain in the bum.

Hate the way flickr goes rubbish on here! Even Facebook looks better.

For comparison... the actual photographer there was also Sony shooting and pics are here.

Really hard to tell with the other photogs photos as they're tiny compared to yours. I like yours, not much too complain about I think. Perhaps increase exposure a bit and up saturation a very tiny bit.

Huh? Are you knocking the mode dial or a custom button needs changing?

Thank you. First time shooting Sony and an EVF too so good practice!

This is why I have held on to the D750 and borrowing the A7iii. Admittedly I did but the 70-200 but you don’t see them for sale 2nd hand very often.

Are the pics any better? Hard to tell after one shoot. Got more over next 2 weekends so no rush to decide!

BUT... the silent shooting is awesome! In the dressage arena where it’s quite quiet you can here the D750 rattling off. The A7 eerily silent! Trouble is don’t have it in 8fps for something that doesn’t need it... 200 images in a 4min dressage test :LOL:

Would imagine anyone that has the camera in a sling style strap or a double strap would run into this. Our videographer today is having the same problem. I guess need to consider always turning it off before dropping to my side but that isn’t always possible.

I keep hitting that dial, shame you can’t lock it.

The Canon don’t allow you to press down on the dial so actually never had this problem before. It’s kist a wheel, not a click wheel.

The Sony dial is the thing that protrudes out of the rear the most so it gets knocked so easily.

I mean one could deactivate all the features on it but then you will have to go into menus a lot to change settings.
