Have you tried taking a picture of an actual subject? I'll bet you have no problems shooting, landscapes, people and animals.

DON'T UNDEREXPOSE. High ISO is not a problem with this body. ISO 40,000:

Get the G or GM Sony lenses if you can afford it. The 24-105mm is a great all around lens. I think that a 70-200mm comes next, because the 100-400mm GM breaks the budget. If you're a bokeh-queen, ...

Yes, Francis, it's quite light and manageable. The IBIS make it easy to handhold down to very low shutter speeds.

It's built with mirrorless in mind. It's light, but doesn't give up image quality.

I love my FE 12-24mm f/4 G, using it with my a9 and my a7RIII. I love the full functionality of using the native Sony lenses with these amazing bodies. Use mine often. It compares well with my ...

DSLRs, by their nature, have a blackout. It's brief and not total, because the mirror is moving throughout, with many degrees of openness/closedness.  The blackout of the a7RIII is total (100%) ...

IME, high-ISO performance of the a7RIII blows the 5D MkIV in the weeds. Don't even think about shooting the 5D4 at ISO 40000, like this: For BIF, the a7RIII's several "Lock-On" AF modes also blows ...

What is a "slideshow" in the EVF? Both are WYSIWYG. I know people that complain about the blackout between shots with the a7RIII (not a factor with the a9), but I find it no more annoying than the ...

LOL. I had a period where I was shooting both Sony and Canon. Every time I grabbed a Canon, it felt archaic. The lack of WYSIWYG EVF was huge. You quickly get very accustomed to seeing the ...

Of course! The 5D4 is an excellent BIF body, just not in the same league as the a9 or a7RIII. The native Sony body/lens combinations AF more quickly and hold focus more tenaciously. Your keeper ...

I think we're agreeing. In the comparison of Sony's latest bodies to Canon's 5D MkIV, both with each makers' latest lenses, the Sony is superior in lens, sensor and AF. Saddle either one with ...

I had over 100,000 clicks on my 5D4, mainly shooting wildlife and I'm approaching 100,000 with my a7RIII and I'm there with my a9. I have no idea what you're talking about. With GM and G lenses, ...

Eye-focus doesn't work for many animals yet, mainly humans. Someone post on this forum that Sony is working on eye-detect for many species. I'd like to see deer and canines added.

This is Cherry Creek Reservoir, in Cherry Creek State Park, immediately below Denver. It's an incredible urban wildlife refuge and recreational facility, 10-minutes from my apartment.

I often see them fishing in ones and twos. I agree that the cooperative fishing is a hallmark, particularly compared to the individual diving-fishing of the brown pelicans. I witnessed close to ...

First time out with my f/2.8, I needed ISO 40000:

The better EVF, resolution and dynamic range make the a7RIII the better choice for landscape, unless you're never going to print anything, then resolution won't really matter.

Here's an Album of sample shots, all handheld and taken with either a9 or a7RIII. https://www.flickr.com/photos/dcstep/albums/72157703862444294/with/44743830945/

Light weight Faster AF Sharpness/contrast (only a little) Low light capability (f/2.8 vs. f/4) Comparing to 500mm with Metabones on a9, several more AF modes, particularly Lock-on AF modes. Each ...
