Saaaaaaad

@Ebrahim: He just doesn't want to accept Sony made a good camera, and seeing as Nikon/Canon haven't beaten it, it's a boring year. Forget that both the A7III and the X-T3 present some of the...

@Davitor10: Camera companies spend millions on lots of things. They spend it on sharper lenses, and they spend it on better sensors. All 3 of these cameras are sharp. The Canon has slightly better...

Canon has the sharpest picture, but falls short in dynamic range and high ISO performance. Not everything about image quality is sharpness.

@cdembrey: Time lapses can be used on anything that changes over time, not just clouds. Sounds like the creativity issue is with you, not the technology.

It's like saying out of focus backgrounds...

Almost everything in photography is done to death. A creative person is someone who can find ways to put their own twist on something that has been done before.

@Kiril: the idea of dual card slots is instant backup while shooting. If you're coming home to connect to your wifi, you might as well just back them up on your laptop/PC.

@bjphotolabs: you realise that's a response from 2016 and his argument actually reads:
"As a result the speed of imaging sensor based AF systems has pretty much caught up with PDAF based systems in...

That's nice and all, but then you need a SIM and a massive data plan for camera, so it can upload a 500mb size pack of burst shots.

Maybe in 10-20 years that will be a possibility, but it's hard...

@xPhoenix: And weather sealing. Just a larger grip and weather sealing and there's nothing left to complain about (except for the menus, which really isn't a big deal).

@jonby: Check out this video from Matt Granger on his opinions on the AF with different adapted lenses:

Might not be the type of video you were looking...

@Stu 5: You should really go into a store and try an A7rIII and a Z7 side by side. I have, and the Z7 was noticeably slower to focus. On the flip slide, while the EVF was better in the Z7, it...

I don't think an F2.8 prime is considered fast, but ok.

PDAF has been consistently faster to focus than contrast detect. It's the more reliable tech right now, and panasonic has yet to prove otherwise based on their current cameras.

I'd rather have...

Sure it's zeiss batis, but $1300 for an F/2 lens is ridiculous.

@wasTF: It's very much a 24mm: https://www.dpreview.com/articles/4837244851/hands-on-with-the-sony-24mm-f1-4-g-master

You might be thinking of the Tamron 28-75 F2.8, which is quite compact, but...

Maybe, but with the exceprion of Canons 24-70 F2, none of the other mounts are offering any real improvements in lens capability or size.

Sony also just released a fairly light weight 24mm F1.4,...

@webber15: And what aspect would you prioritise to be "taken seriously"?

Outside of the contrast detect AF (and personally thats a big factor for me), i'd agree. The comment about "Sony's electronic gadgets" is pointless though, Sony A7III are sold out almost everywhere...

That's not what they said at all. The FF body will use an L-mount, and the M4/3 bodies will continue to use an M4/3 mount.

I'm a bit apprehensive about contrast detect AF only, but will have to wait and see how it performs. Otherwise it seems to tick all the boxes.
