I think I've had mine about a year now. Easily the best charger I've had, my only complaint with it is that the battery condition readings are way off with aftermarket batteries. Eg I've got one ...

Apologies, I meant the Sony 200-600 but having re-read your post I see you have dismissed that.

I take it you didn't see that the Tamron was down to £885 a few days ago on Amazon?... If space and money are restricted, definitely the Tamron. If not, it's the Sony all day long for me.

Oh, Raycom where I got mine in the UK still seems to be selling them.

Another vote for the ISDT charger. It is excellent, don't even look for a different charger. In terms of batteries I've had good success with Ravpower, but I have an A7rii and I believe that is ...

Another vote for Godox, great system that lets you expand up to some very big flashlights. I'd recommend the V860; not the cheapest one they do, but an excellent balance between value and ...

A quick google suggests that the TT350 will work with any ISO compliant hotshoe, but only via the central sync terminal, so it will fire when you take a shot, but that is likely to be the extent ...

I also went from GX80 to FE (though only the Rii!) but I didn't take a flash with me so can't comment on hot shoe compatibility, but you should be able to set the TT350 up to optical slave to ...

I wouldn't personally recommend the Rii if one of his primary uses is portraits. One of the newer cameras that incorporates eye AF in a better manner (ie without having to hold down an additional ...

And also keep in mind that stepping back a few steps won't give you the same composition of a 17mm, nor will getting up closer give you the same look as a 28.

The Tamon and 20G are very similar in size - basically the same diameter but the Tamron is half an inch longer and 50g heavier. Really not much in it to be a deciding factor. Tamron is internal ...

You need a camera now, under £2000 and you prefer landscapes. A7riii. Onky reason in my mind to get the A7C is better auto focus tracking, but that is useless in landscapes.

The main complaints about battery life come from Riii owners using it to justify paying near twice the price for the same sensor! 😂

This. Occasionally use number 2, never used the third. If you're a pro out shooting the entire day on set then you maybe want a few, otherwise you'll probably be fine with what it came with. ...

The R5 will be to the R4 what the R3 was to the R2 - an incremental upgrade that uses the same sensor with improvements in autofocus, processing power etc. Take the best bits from the A7iv and add ...

Had two cheap batteries for my M43 camera swell, one of them quite considerably while in the camera which took quite a bit of prying to get out. Not saying don't use them, but you sometimes get ...

For your use case that seems easy - A7IV for the new processor and AF.

I don't own either camera (still on the R2!) but if you don't use the MP then moving to the A7IV sounds like a great idea. I'm sure the new XR processor will offer a bit more headroom for new ...

Ah, just a picture of one bungalow with a car roof taking up one corner??

Why the difference in recommendations when BOTH R2 and R3 are basically on the same sensor and both have IBIS??
