Despiser

Nice pics. I’ve never heard of this lens. I can’t even google it. So I take it the a7iv is not on your wish list?

I agree. This is how you drive up prices and degrade return policies. Bigger companies like Amazon can absorb the impact. However, OP’s case is simply quality control at work most likely.

I would say where it dropped it, being a natural hazard. Still waiting to get an eagle.

It’s by far Sony’s most versatile lens, and a fantastic lens combining range with iq. If you include third party lens in the mix I’d have to go with tamron 28-200. Sure you give up 4 mm at the ...

Normally I like to skip a generation but if you can get a good price on your A7iii when the a7iv comes out that’s a good option. Unless money is not an issue then you have plenty of choices right ...

OMG, never thought of that! Hundreds of hours of footage worthless! AUGH!

Separate cards

I forgot to state that I use back focus, in which case it appears orange when you press the center button and stays orange when you move it.

If you’re shooting exclusively in one or the other then you’re fine. If you shoot in both then only jpegs are deleted.

Ok, but the point I was trying to make is raw files don’t get deleted, just jpegs, so it’s of limited use

This question has been asked extensively. I chose A7iii but since you have the kit lens included and it’s new, I’d go with A7c in your case. I am happy with my choice as it suits how I like to ...

Format is the standard for erasing files, unless you should exclusively in jpg, delete is limited. Sometimes I use it to flag files for deleting on the computer as they show up as one RAW instead ...

Bears in flight are hard at any time, let alone 3:00 am

I just keep the 28-200 on now. It started because I got frustrated with dust particles on sensor exchanging lenses no matter how careful. But I soon realized it has a superb range and you can ...

I didn’t like the tilt when I migrated from Canon to Sony to be honest. But when I discovered how useful it was for street photography and crowds I appreciate it much more. Canon has a fully ...

I hope they keep the same LCD flip in the M4 that’s in M3. Flip style is more about personal preference than an asset.

The first one is an easy fix. Assign the center button to Focus Settings and it becomes a bright orange box instead of grey. You can move it around via the joystick or center wheel. The trashcan ...

I was in the same boat, did lots of comparisons and ultimately went with A7iii. They are made for two different users so that's what it really comes down to, not that one is any better than the ...

You have been shooting so long that evf and lcd are almost optional. I don’t expect to reach that level, but I have got pretty adept at dialing in shutter, aperture and iso on the fly

If it’s the one that clips into the hotshoe it looks like a good solution. You can trim the rubber to fit snugly.
