That sounds pretty close to my plan.  18-135 for general use.  I've got the manual focus Samyang 12/2 for occasional astro and wide landscapes.  I don't have anything in a portrait length but that ...

That was my plan.  $279 is going to be tough to beat.  Thanks.

I haven’t seen anything comparing these two similar lenses. Is the Sony worth more than double the price? I’m using the 18-135 as my main walk around lens and have a Rokinon 12 for extra wide. I ...

I bought a used/like new 6400

Interesting that they are starting with the 6400 rather than the 6600. Either way, this is good news for their future APS-C cameras. I think the idea that they are moving towards APS-C as a ...

It’s just a matter of how long you will need to wait. I wanted a new camera now, so I got a used 6400 with plans to upgrade again when the next gen aps-c camera is ready.

I don't know what is happening but I seriously doubt that they will completely discontinue the APS-C line.  The only logical way to do it would be with an upgraded A7C body with a higher mp sensor ...

Camera has arrived, looks like new from the exterior. The sensor is visibly clean and a photo of a blank wall looks clear. Just uploaded a photo to a shutter count test site and it came back at ...

Just found a 6400 in E condition from Adorama for $769.  Done.  Will start to get better lenses and consider a new body if and when the next APSC camera comes!

That went quick. I’ll start looking there every day. I have mpb supposed to email me when they have one in stock for the 6400 or 6600. Are there other reliable resellers other than those and Adorama?

I’m trying to use resellers/camera shops, not ebay. Any advice on where to look?  I’ll pay retail for something that has been professionally evaluated and is in excellent working condition.

That’s certainly an issue although the AF improvement from the NEX-5N should also be night and day from what I’m used to. Stupid chip shortage is making this way harder than it needs to be.

At this point, just finding a6600 or 6400 is challenging. I’m tempted to get a cheap used 6000 and new lenses and then wait for another cycle to upgrade the body.

I think I'm closing in on my final plan: a6600 Tamron 17-70/2.8 Sony 70-350 I have a Rokinon 12/2.0 mf for landscape/astro I think for about the same price as an A7iv with 1 lens, this will keep me ...

Thanks to everyone for their input here.  I think I've talked myself into circles and realized that FF just isn't worth it for me.  My new plan is to find an a6600 (there are reliable resellers ...

Yes, I’m looking at used.  30 day return window and then 90 day “warranty”. Yes, it’s a bit of a risk but I’m only looking at retailers who sell used, not ebay, etc. I will probably get the 6600 ...

I'm finally getting around to upgrading my NEX-5N.  I only have the kit lenses (16, 18-55 and 55-210) so getting better lenses is also in the plan. Probably the Sigma 18-50 F2.8 rather than the ...

I got an email from Sony today that the A7 iv was back in stock in limited quantity. Sold out already. Hopefully this is a sign than more will be shipped out to retailers as well.

That’s a good point about the A7C grip being larger than the 5N. As for the A7Riv used idea, I think the better autofocus and processor will do more for me than extra megapixels.

I realize I was a little unclear about “size” by which I was mostly concerned with grip depth. From that comparison site and from what I’ve read online, the A7C grip depth is the smallest of the ...
