Re: If you are a nervous Nellie, go with Sony

I agree. Sony is the safe choice, they hold the cards on sensors. But wow ergonomics and the shear joy of using your equipment have to count for something........in my case a lot as long as the quality is there. I'd be much more adamant if I had a FF lightweight ultrawide now, but ultimately it depends on your stomach for risk I suppose.

Pentax is for the bold iconoclasts. You have to have the stomach for it. Great gear, but you'll get zero respect from anyone.

So was Sony in 2009/10, and up to the current A series. But no more. Sony is thoroughly mainstream, now, and rich in variety. As a Nervous Nellie you can bounce around within the Sony ecosystem with plenty of choices up and down the scale of size and resolution, with excellent video thrown in.

I am all in with Pentax now, and extremely happy. Formerly I was with Sony, and I love Sony----think they are wonderful. Lots of great innovation, good prices, what's not to like.
