And the three apps you mention do this? Andrew

I’m not sure what you mean but guess you haven’t used the Samsung Camera app.  It’s like using a GM1 or a more advanced version of controlling an Olympus or Sony from your phone. If the apps you ...

I find the A7R4 uncomfortably large.  The grip is badly designed - seems to be a Sony feature. Andrew

The R4 seems to be optimised for landscape, although you might argue that the R2 is all anyone needs if only shooting landscape. Andrew

You don’t need to buy an app with an S20, it comes with a Pro mode.  Strangely you can save JPEG’s to your microSD card but not DNG files. Andrew

My normal max is ISO 600, so the different dual-gain switchover on the R4 works for me.  At base ISO, the R1 still inches it (just). Andrew

They don’t look the same to me and you can see which I picked in my first post. Andrew

If it’s going to be handheld, then I’d go with the Olympus 8mm Pro as a single lens solution.  The Olympus 8-25/4 makes sense, once the price falls a little. The Samyang 7.5mm fisheye is a cheap ...

Been there, done that - got the T shirt! Andrew PS Which was the LR image or are you planning a grand reveal?

Low light AF of the A7R2 is much worse than the A7R4, in case that matters.  Being a low ISO shooter, I find the A7R4 even silkier than my much loved A7R2.  Where the A7R2 won out was being ...

That’s an interesting point but I’m content with an A7R4 for the time being. Andrew

I use C1, so I don’t know how LR chooses default tone curves etc.  What have Manual and ISO got to do with RAW processor defaults? Andrew

If you were using C1 then the first one would be the RAW.  No idea what defaults LR uses. Andrew

I’m not well informed about thermal noise but long exposure images in low light are a special case.  AF in low light got a lot better between gen 2 and gen 3 Sony bodies. If you want detail ...

Your beginner may never need a FF camera.  If you decide you must have a highly functional and FF camera, then the A7iv is a reasonable choice, once prices have fallen from launch. You could put ...

https://timfordphoto.com/sony-a7r-for-video-first-impressions/ I'm an almost exclusively stills shooter (never used video on a Sony) and I agree with techjedi, the idea of a stills only camera ...

and, you are able to switch to uncompressed RAW for the kind of single shot photography that might be affected. Andrew

Definitely heading in the right direction.  That could be a unique camera (for a while). Changes my thoughts about which system to buy lenses for until the specs are published. Andrew

Lenses with good contrast are my favourite.  If you read Jim's blog, you will see that the artefacts are not just glare. Andrew
