The portrait of Lewis Hamilton is actually cropped as well, which is even more mind blowing. It has a tiny bit of grain added as it was never meant to be viewed so close up, but the clarity of the IWC is still super impressive.

@@eastonchang Crazyness! I love the progressions made in camera tech these days 😍

i went the same route. picked up an a7rii for chips. what an outstanding camera for the price of an entry level crop canon combo with a kit lens. spent onto decent lenses. i am pleased with my choice although, i am just a hobby photog. anyways, really nice pictures from Mr. Chang.

I would have thought so, otherwise he'd have had to give a Credit to the photographer that did take the picture.

The sensor dust is insane, I think it’s a combination of full frame with no mirror to protect it. The R5 has a mechanism specifically to cover the sensor for lens changes. I’ve never had this level of dust before but also the Sony is my first FF mirrorless.

Hey @jeff what adapter do you use for your canon lenses to your Sony? Thanks

I'm still loving the quality out of the A7R4 so I don't feel like I need to upgrade yet! Some quality of life improvements (screen resolution, EVF, etc) would be nice but unnecessary at this stage. For my type of work I don't need fast AF so I've still been adapting my Canon glass.

Interesting that you are talking about Canon R5 R3 and R1. Canon R5 has lower resolution (still amazing camera) and R3 most probably will be only 24MP when finally released. Additionally R1 and R3 will be sport cameras, whereas Sony a7r iv is not…

@@pawelmod3292, yeah I should have been more clear. I am a hybrid shooter but now I shoot more stills than video but I’m moving into a more 50/50 shooter. I’m looking for something like the A1, single all-in-1 body but it is a bit steep for me and the low res screen bugs me for that price. The A7R4 is used for studio, landscape, and portrait work and I love that I can crop and still get more MP than current Sony bodies at ~26-27MP, but the video specs are not good enough for what I need. So I ventured towards the R5 last year to test and learn. It’s also a great stills camera first with has impressive video capabilities but the overheating is an issue for what I do, unless I use an external recorder which I don’t wish to do. It’s not reliable enough for long form work and having 2 bodies is too costly and/or an external recorder is too much bulk. Some people prefer two bodies and I have that current setup, but would like to try to downsize. For sports and wildlife, I still use the A9 and don’t feel the need to upgrade. I’ve added the A7R4 when I need more details than speed. On the other hand, the R5 can perform similar to both of these camera bodies for stills and can perform better in video with overheating management. But this is too costly to have two systems. I still prefer the DR on Sony cameras. I’m still sorting it out which way to go for hybrid shooting but it’s good to see that Easton is a pro who used Canon cameras for years and still uses the A7R4. I may trade the A9 for the A7S3 as my new setup and see what Canon will do to solve the R5 overheating or maybe exchange for the R5m2. What about you?

@@pawelmod3292 Yep, as far as I'm still seeing it. Canon has yet to truly replace the 5DsR.

@@nomad0714 Thx for response and all details. These days are perfect because you have so many options! Personally I'm using A7 III at this moment. It is good enough for my video needs - 4k@24/30 is perfect for me at quality is much better comparing to A7r IV. At the same time A7 III has its limits for action/sport photography that I'm doing more and more. 10fps is good enough but I'm missing the resolution (I need that because sometimes is very difficult to have good framing) and perhaps I do not like the rolling shutter in silent mode (I'm not using mechanical shutter in A7 iii because I noticed some strange scratches in it and it is well known issue). So A1 would be the best but it is too $$$ for me. That being said I try to figure out if I should upgrade to A9 (perfect AF, buffer, rolling shutter but small res) or perhaps upgrade to A7r IV (the best resolution, worse than A9 but better than A7 iii AF, poor rolling shutter in silent mode but perhaps mechanical shutter will do the job). Or maybe even wait for A74. Well, decisions, decisions, decisions :-P I will for sure not go for Canon because Sony as a system has the best $$$/quality ration for me (a lot of bodies on the market, a lot of lenses from many brands) Best regards, stay safe Pawel

@Rebel Hikes It's still worth it even if its crop 4K/60fps. The a7R series is more for portrait and landscape photography. 4K/60fps is an added bonus to the camera. If you want full-frame 4K/60fps, then get an a7Siii and stop complaining.

@Rebel Hikes I would recommend the a7IV since its video quality has improved a lot now with the amazing eye-autofocus. If you only wnat photographs and don't care too much about videos, then the a7C would be the best way for your backpacking since its a smaller camera with a full-frame sensor. A7RIV is great for landscapes for and its video autofocus is a bit better than the a7C. I personally would go for the a7IV since its a hybrid camera with great video and photo features. Prices will be the other big factor as the a7RIV is at $3,000, a7IV is at $2,500 and a7C is at $1,800. And instead of the Sony 24-105mm F/4, I would go with the Tamron 35-150mm F/2.8. Even though it starts at 35mm instead of 24mm, it opens wide at F/2.8 which is what i prefer F/4 is good enough but i still prefer at least F/2.8 for those dark scenes to get the most light out. The lens is $2,000 though it is like $1,000 more

That would be exciting!
