Given that "she only shoots jpeg" means camera is used for stills and not video? Then a7iii > a7s Previously, a7s attract stills shooters because of low light capabilities but there's a new king in ...

Enjoy a7III now and wait for a9XL (DSLR-like mirrorless) ;-) But IMO the likelihood of Sony releasing a bigger body is very slim. From orig A7 to A9 design, the upsize of camera body size is ...

An a6 would be interesting (a6500 body with FF sensor). But hard to place between all the A7/A7ii still out there in the market on marked down price.

It was your capture where I got the inspiration, thank you. Taken with FE28 too. Cheers

Similar body size but possibly with beefier/thicker grip to accommodate better handling Bigger grip can house those cards, perhaps.

Yes tripod is a must. And also I had great results with a shutter release cable. Had a chance to shoot fireworks and my distance is pretty far too. https://www.flickr.com/photos/jpgomez/14554028354/ ...

5 counts for me a200, Nex-5, a65, a5000 and a7 All still working except Nex-5, my fault for forcing the SD card and broke the pins inside the card slot. Sorry for the OP tho

Get the A7iii + 24-105 now and invest on extra lens with $$ you saved. And then get A7RVI in 6-7yrs

It'll be a great combo. Small and fearless setup :-)

+1 on Samyang/Rokinon FE 135/2. IQ is really stellar and it's the best dollar per lens on that focal length. You can use that as an interim until Sony releases native 135mm.

Nothing wrong going with kit lens if you're starting. But I always suggest to pair kit lens + flash. Godox tt350s is decently priced and bouncing off ceilings will make your kit lens use-able ...

Once your guests and family see you pointing large/long lenses at them , it will take away the "candid"ness of the shot. FE85 will be great for the occasion.

I use Samyang 8mm f2.8 UMC APS-C e-mount when I need to shoot fish eye. That thing is tiny and balance well on Sony A7x. You will still have plenty resolution from your A7RIII in crop mode.

From your list, I vote 55/1.8 Biased as I used that lens exclusively for 2yrs. Added 28 and 135 recently and still have 55 glued to the camera.

F-5XZ what I'm using, F-5XC has it's own dedicated bottom compartment if you prefer that.

Check out Domke F-5XZ. The bag is deep enough that you can raise the paddings/dividers about 2 inch from the bottom and still have room for a lens and body attached facing down. Bag is roomy ...

+1 And once other major 3rd party manufacturers (ie Sigma/Tamron) start shipping/announcing new lenses, there will be more traffic on lens topics/posts in this forum. I understand previously there ...

With threads all discussing about lens in this forum, I think it is time for a dedicated lens talk forum. Your thoughts? Cheers

a5000 for me, and wife likes it as P&S and casual use. Same batteries and mounts make it convenient for me. But if I get to do it again, I'd likely get RX100 series instead of a5000.
