I wonder when Sony will realize they designed a perfectly functional, flip and rotating screen 10 years ago, on the A77/A99/A77ii/A99ii.

I know the world is more expensive than it used to be, but I am pretty disappointed by the $2500 price tag. the base A7 is supposed to be the "affordable" option.

The A1 has a 21MP APSC image.  So it will have larger pixels The A7Riv has a 28MP APSC image.  So it will have smaller pixels. BUT the A7Riv has a more advanced BSI sensor.   So it will have better ...

The 35-150 is expensive and huge. If you can deal with those two things then it looks like it will be an awesome lens. I wish Sigma would recall the early lenses because these experiences are ...

A Sony system is easily going to be the better bargain if you include 3rd party lenses.    The new Sigma's and Tamron's are both excellent. As for Holiday sales, I wouldnt count on them this year.  ...

Yeah I think it was a little much.    But do try those other settings I suggested. Video is slower to AF as well, that is done on purpose to keep videos from being too jarring.

I am saying that your test may be bad, not the lens.  Rocking back and forth from near the lens, is a large percentage movement in distance to the lens. Here are two settings you should look at (1) AF ...

Moving back and forth from a close distance, could be large percentage changes in terms of focus distance.  Its possible that the lens cannot keep up with someone moving their head like a chicken ...

I think you should probably sell the lens for parts. If you are using E-mount, you can try the Tamron 70-180mm.   Its not 200mm, but its pretty close. The A-mount Tamron is very sharp, but it has ...

I would not repair the A7Rii.  I think it was selling for 1K new recently.  A water repair will probably cost more than half that. I would suggest buying an A7Rii used, and A7Riii or waiting for ...

You can change the Aspect ratio to 16:9 from 3:2, on the first menu page.

Its a 3x2 sensor. 4k is 16x9

Sorry its actually 10MP to fill a 4k screen. 3840*2560. So it looks like you are good to go. Yeah 24mm is nice to have. but so is access to all of your sensor and that extra stop of light.

If you want to fill the width of a 16x9 4k screen without stretching, you will need a 12MP image. The 16-55mm is the equivalent of 24-82.5mm at F4.2. But as you say, the size difference is ...

I think the A7Rii is an excellent camera.  I am not saying those are big issues to me. But if those are things that are important to a buyer, then they should be considered.

Agreed.  If you ask people on other forums, you would think the A7Rii struggles to autofocus on a turtle.  The A7Rii's AF is actually very snappy. Where the camera lags is: (1) Battery life (CIPA 290 ...

IMO, its not likely that you will notice the difference between the latest firmware A7Riii and the A7iii AF, unless you are really pushing it. You are more likely to notice, the increased crop ...

You are not?   Is Auto Image review on or off?

While the A9 has superior Autofocus to the A7iii, the A7iii will have a slight edge if both shots are in focus. If I were made of money, I would go with the A1.  It will allow you to crop in 1.5X ...

They are sufficiently sharp.  However there are a couple of caveats. (1) If you are in AF-C, the adapted lenses are constantly adjusting focus even on still objects.  Pretty annoying.
