Tell me about it.

I was very settled with my Canon then saw Eye-AF and boom...

Thought I would get a body and then adapt it all...

BOOM, 2 bodies, 4 prime lenses and a flash inside 6 months, I spent like £10k!

My logic when I switched from Canon to Nikon was simply, once your core lenses are in place, the body upgrades wouldn’t have the same ridiculous premium that Canon continue to have. 3 years later and Nikon lose the plot a bit.

When does your a7 arrive?

Not sure. Bought e-infinity in the end so only just received the mail confirming it’s shipped. Haven’t got a lens sorted yet anyway, still haggling on trades. Expect I’ll sort by middle of next week.

I'm going back to Florida in March, which is partly fuelling my gas (it's always good to have an excuse for buying new kit!).

I'm off to NYC next week, birding and fall colours in Central Park, adding to my vast collection of grandchild portraits and more wildlife/birding and fall colours in the Catskills. Mustn't forget drinking in the village pub with the local Trump lovers, very difficult to keep my trap shut when I'm 4 pints in!
Next March booked to go to Spring bird migration in Eilat.
 
More advanced eye AF etc for A7III etc. Looking promising for a nice FW update in the future

My guess is that Sony will make existing Eye-AF even more stickier and give you the options to pick right or left eye priority. Maybe even multi Eye-AF and / or eye open detection to ensure no eyes are closed on photos.

7) About the Sony A7sIII: “The next model should of course be more than they expect. So we’re planning a future S model right now, but it will take time.” Sony also knows that their customers want “4K/60p, 4:2:2 10-bit, and of course more battery power, increased AF accuracy – many things!”

From the rumours site

That would be a bummer I like eyes closed for a lot of stuff :)

Xt3?

What you reckon then?

I’m waiting for the dust to settle with the xt3. Although there are some deals popping up here and there for the h1. It’s very, very nice to use. I’d probably buy another of them if found at the right price. Tempted to see what happens with the next firmware update.

Can’t really judge as unfortunately I was short on time I didn’t get to put a lens on either canon or Nikon - but the bodies feel very comfortable in the hand. Nikon edging it with the joystick. I like the innovation of canon with the customisable ring on the lens or adaptor. Yeap I said canon and innovation lol.

I’m shooting at a Sony/wex sponsored event at the weekend and if I’m organised and arrive early enough I may get to spend the day with an a73 or a9 - which could be interesting.
