Yes mabye the A1 is better, but the price. The same the lens, when you bay the prime 600 is better but i will not pay 11 k euro. For a hobby will i update the A7R3. The have not focus on eye off birds and faster systeem for a good price. Now i have the A6600 for backup for holyday.
@hilmarkampstra16862 ай бұрын
What I missed a great deal with testing the a7R5 (compared to my a9) was the missing capability of a shutter sound in electronic shutter mode. It’s just not present there, is this the same with the a7IV?
@FranciscusScheelings2 ай бұрын
Yes there is a shutter sound on the A7IV. Are you sure there isn't one on the A7RV I'd be surprised? I've never used one so can't be sure.

No I just shoot in normal profile. I’ve thought about using log profiles but then I’d have to do extra colour grading which I’m not quite sure I can be bothered doing.

I saw one of them up close & personal a while ago. There was a flock of silvereyes picking aphids off my roses, so I went outside to have a look. There was a tiny little brown / white / black spotty bird sitting there right in front of me. It was so minute, perfect & full of itself. We looked into each other's eyes for a minute & it darted off with its silvereye friends. A magic moment. Then I had to look it up. I'd heard about pardalotes, but never seen one. You live & learn, I guess.
