Thanks, I have some fast cards for sports and from my experience fast write speeds do seem to matter. For travel probably not so much. I was not sure if fast cards made any difference with video. ...

I have shot just about every system except full frame in my long lifetime. I have owned the a6500 and similar cameras as well as micro four thirds systems, Canon and Nikon dslrs and have used my ...

In June I will be going on a five week trip to Slovenian and Croatia. I have only had a corrupt card once and that was well over twelve years ago, but I lost some great shots from a cruise ...

I have been debating about getting rid of my a7r3 and just using my Panasonic G9. Nearly all my photography is now travel photos. I mainly display photos over the internet but do like to make ...

Continuous tracking was a big deal for college sports, great for that basketball player running down the court for a slam dunk. Not likely to happen with 12 year old girls basketball. ;-) Biggest ...

I usually shoot right under the basket and sometimes 70mm was too tight. When shooting college sports I liked a 24-70 2.8 on a cropped sensor. I found the 24-105 on the a7r3 worked well enough do ...

Resale value is part of the equation if I really do not need 42 megapixels for most of what I will shoot. I should be able to get $4,000 total for a7r3, 16-35 2.8 Gm, 24-105, and 55 1.8 pricing ...

I used to shoot a lot of wedding, portraits, and sports professionally. When making money I wanted the best tools available. My needs are totally different now as I mainly want to do travel ...

Thanks for the reply. I would not keep my full frame Sony system. To me it does not make sense to keep it for that one large print I would want for my living room. I do understand the 17-55 would ...

I understand this camera is new so I may be asking these questions too soon. I mainly am interested in travel photography, but may also want to shoot some grandkids sports (mainly basketball). I ...

Thanks, I really appreciate the information. I will probably wait to see what the Olympus OM5 upgrade will be like before I decide what to do. I was thinking about getting the Oly 12-40 2.8 over ...

Understood. I cannot justify the cost of the X version for what I want to shoot. I probably will try the G9 and wait to see what come out in next 6 to 8 months. I like the idea of the rumored ...

I was hoping there might by another model coming out before next June. I can hang on to my Sony a7r3 for now. I have the 24-105 4.0 Sony along with the 16-35 GM lens. The GM is 2.8 but really too ...

Oh how I know how easy it is to get carried away! The nice thing about my grandkids ages are that I am confident by the time they are in high school there will be newer bodies that will probably ...

I recently purchased the G9 with the Oly 12-100 and have fallen in love with this combo. So much so I am considering selling my full frame Sony gear. For travel the G9 with the 12-100, 8-18 Pany ...

Thanks, removing eyecup and cleaning sensor area fixed the problem.

I had F3 set for bracketing and switching between viewfinder and monitor seemed to work fine at one point. I will strictly use that button for switching between viewfinder and monitor and try ...

I had a great experience on a recent trip using the G9 and 12-100 Oly. It was my first time getting to use the camera. I loved everything about the camera but for some reason am now having trouble ...

Nice shots. I already bought the G9 and had an extremely enjoyable experience taking it with me on a tour of the Canadian Rockies. I lot of bad weather in Jasper and Banff so could not get some of ...

I have shot college, high school, and youth sports professionally. I have typically owned the APS-C sports cameras such as 7D, D7100, and similar cameras. I am now using the Sony a7r3. A huge ...
