***This week with your a7x/a9x/a1, Nov 19th - 25th, 2022***

This weekly topic serves as a place for forum members to share recent work with our Sony Alpha full frame cameras. It's OK for a7x and a9 camera owners to dazzle us with images made with other cameras, but the idea is to allow owners with similar cameras to compare notes, chops, and sensibilities.

Using Threaded View helps to keep each person's contribution and responses linked in a tree-like structure so replies/discussions are easier to follow.

To begin:

1. Add your contribution for the week by responding to this, the first message in this topic.

2. Change the Subject of your message, then embed your image into the reply with whatever you’d like to say about it. (Embedding makes it easier to participate, easier than a link to an image located outside the forum - but links aren’t a great offense).

If you especially want C&C (criticism/critique) or technique feedback, say so. It’s assumed one does want such feedback, but direct requests may garner a more studied analysis/response. If you don't want such feedback, say so, and others will respect your wishes.

If you feel you've been ignored, select your post, reply to it with a brief note to the effect of "Can I get some feedback?". Not getting feedback on a post isn't uncommon, so don't feel offended - no one is charged to ensure all posts get attention (we're not organized enough for that). If you want particular feedback (composition, exposure choice, etc.), saying so can be helpful for the potential respondents as to what your needs may be.

It is courteous and advisable that, should you post images for feedback, you also make comment on at least one other contribution. Respectful acknowledgment of everyone is the goal, and it’s requested that all participants assume some responsibility to that end.

Sometimes people illustrate suggestions by re-editing images that you post here and reposting them in this thread. If you don't want that done, please say so. Otherwise, we'll all assume that's OK with you. Of course, it is never OK for anyone to take your images, edited or not, and repost them elsewhere.

Re: Snaps

Roger Great shot of a very beautiful child. Always helps when you start with a good looking subject.

How are you finding the A7RV?

Thank you Wade

In all true, I am having mixed feelings about the A7RV: IQ and operability is as expected but AF disappoints me : The slow unstacked sensor and shutter lag is a significant handicap for this new AI AF. I have had the camera for a couple days but I already have hundreds of OOF test-shots of my kids just moving around at home...

Re: Snaps

Roger - given the touted increased AF abilities with a variety of subjects and the 8 axis image stabilization along with a dedicated AI processing unit, this is a disappointment if you end up with consistently OOF images. Unless this can be addressed in a FW update, then this will be a real problem. Any chance you unfortunately got a bad unit? Would be nice to hear from others on the forum that have already obtained this camera if they're experiences are similar.

Wade

PS Wondering if you noticed the OOF photos taken with any of the three Sony lenses that required a firmware update to work properly with the A7R5?

It is much better recognising and tracking. I know it is not A9x/A1 but I expected AF to keep up better on kids. Some examples (the A7RV has this nice feature of showing the green box when displaying images on camera):

OOF both. Green square couldn't keep up tracking.

it does look like it slightly missed eyeaf in that photo you posted.

Happening often. A couple more examples (green box right on the eye, but still OOF)

On the other hand, the operational upgrades are really nice. It feels great to do a handheld shot at 3,2":

I don´t want to derail the weekly thread much. I am still learning the camera, iron out my own errors and decide if it works for me.

Re: Of Eagles and other birds

Great series dv ... thanks for sharing and inspiring!  The A1 and 200 - 600 are an awesome combination in the right hands ... and the 1.4 TC seems to be the icing on the cake!

I am curious whether there was much cropping in any of these?

Cheers
