Re: Switching back to R5... help needed

If my combo r3 + 200-600 was working always as expected and if I didn't have body replaced and later fixed twice and if I didn't have to send back the lens... You know - now it is working flawlessly but have no idea for how long.

Also I wanted an upgrade to newer body to get AF tracking as I find it very useful for what I am doing. And thats why I started this topic. I've checked prices for new bodies, checked what they offer and I want and what I don't want to have... Seems like A1 is perfect but the price in Poland is around 9000$ and for this price + price of my future-dream-lens: 400/2.8 i don't feel like i trust sony enough to invest such big money in this system. Believe me - I tried - I keep my gear in perfect condition, use only native Sony top-class lenses, fast cards...
Last thing is that - especially during winter time - when conditions are changing rapidly I started to miss shots due to the fact that i am not able to change settings after burst of shots... Its generally minor thing but again happens quite often
