Not very different from your reasoning, but although I will not get back to Lightroom I still haven't found a substitute - I guess many years using Adobe's software... :) Imo, not the same ...

The problem, at least for some of us, is that the standalone/permanent license was discontinued... :( All the best, Pedro

It just means the new/updated/upgraded X1D with the 44x33mm 100MP Back-illuminated Sony Sensor will be available soon... :) All the best, Pedro

I guess simply a bad design/concept option; and the same seems to be true about the tripod socket/thread! :( ...The second "major" problem with the bottom seal is the unprotected/forgotten battery ...

...I believe that every single A7RII owner will gladly trade their camera with you - Problem solved! :) All the best, Pedro

A general rule, valid for (almost) everything - says that the final "product" reflects the quality of the lesser element in the chain - In photography it can be the photographer too, but ...

You're welcome. IMO, the correct decision. Great choices, afaik - I know it's more expensive, but I would also have a good look at the Batis 1.8/85... ...That's why I mentioned portraiture and ...

...All very good choices - I opted for the SEL1224G as an ultra-wide complement for the SEL24105G. Not my opinion regarding optical quality - In fact I purchased the SEL70300G after comparing it ...

...I would definitively go with the Sony part - In fact that was what I did as soon as it was available and had not one single problem with it. There is a lot of information (and misinformation) ...

I would sell the (Canon) lens and go native - Sony SEL55F18Z is a great prime for the asked price; adapters and adapted lenses is a road to avoid, IMO. unless you have some stellar glass worth to ...

...We are always learning and discovering new things! :) Leaving «PlayMemories Mobile» running with «Location Information Linkage» set to ON and shutting down the (my) phone and starting it again ...

Welcome to the "Club" - Hope you have fun and enjoy your hobby and camera - And congratulations for some amazing photos you're sharing with us through the link! ;) All the best, Pedro

As long as you have «PlayMemories Mobile» running with «Location Information Linkage» set to ON the "GPS Position" will be added to your photos every time you turn your camera On and take a ...

And arms&hands capability, I guess... :) All the best, Pedro

I believe that third party will show up, but no, I wouldn't buy - I prefer staying with the most compatible ones called Sony, even when most of the time my piggy-bank cries... :) ...And specially ...

In a word, the SEL1224G! ;) ...But, yes I understand the filter limitations, specially if you don't want to carry the very big available solutions - Nisi comes to mind... :) I had the same ...

I do agree with your reasoning, but a slightly taller grip would be welcomed, wouldn't change its compactness/size a lot and would certainly help holding it better and give a little more space to ...

I doubt - The only feature A7x users may "envy" is the extra Mode Dialer, at least for what focus is concerned - IMO opinion the A9 series will just have updated/upgraded A9 cameras... :) The A9 is ...

...Maybe it was your lucky day?! :) All the best, Pedro

Although I would certainly prefer the "SD Direct Update Method" I never had - fingers crossed - one single problem with a Sony Firmware Update! ...Maybe I do it by the (Sony) book, in other words, ...
