Nomoreheroes I understand that it's PDAF vs CDAF, with that said it's still based entirely on their live view AF interface and tracking algos, which is garbage. It has no relation to the...

They survey the sony pro support guys. I got one a month or two ago.

Nikon live view AF (which is what this was based on) was always garbage.

A blackrapid sport attached to the 70-200 foot. Very simple very comfy

I shot a HS night football friday with an a7iii and it was fine.. No missed focus, tracking players running right towards me full speed at close distances, under really crappy light, the works. ...

The a7iii works great for sports, it performs similarly to the a9, which is also great. The one distinction is the e-shutter and zero blackout on the a9, but the focusing is basically the same. At ...

The way I remember it, it should be an advantage for really wide, fast lenses. So if you want a 12-24 2.8, cool. Does it make a difference for a 50 1.2? Not really.

Better EVF, better interface, way better ergo, articulating screen, 4k60, a9 e-shutter, more lenses, and weather sealing . If sony does this I will pay any amount of money.

Why do you care that I'm being negative? Are we not allowed to have opinions on this [checks notes] camera review site?

@DarnGoodPhotos why so defensive? You shoot fuji..

I own lenses that are more expensive than this camera. If I had 40 grand to throw at a system, I wouldn't start with an $8000 body that matched the a7iii, at best.

No I mean I'm literally confused why people would spend an extra six grand for what seems like a worse camera than say, an a7iii. Lets see image quality.. no.. build quality.. maybe a little.. this...

$8000 for a digital camera that's nothing special. No thanks. Why do people buy this crap?

It doesn't mean anything as its not a warranty anyway. It's like when a manufacturer says a camera is weather sealed.. but no one will touch a camera with water damage.

it's an MTBF, by definition some shutters will fail earlier

Does anyone who gets a typical well-done repair ever yelp about it?

It's not fraud. It's sony's official warranty repair center. I've been there (in person) and I can vouch that they're nice upstanding people. They have no reason to rip anyone off.

Yeah, this isn't something Corel came up with. It's called a plotagraph and it's been around for years. Corel just ripped it off and called it something different.

The sirui video monopod everyone usually recommends is 74.8", so the 80" one wins out, but the sirui is CF as opposed to magnesium, and the foot looks far more substantial. I'd still go with the...

They make the RX1R. It's a compact body with a popup viewfinder, FF sensor. I don't think they'll ever make an a7 style camera without a viewfinder. Ever.
