Luego de 8 aos usando CANON finalmente realice la transicin a SONY. El motivo? Trabajo como fotgrafo y video-realizador y necesitaba una cmara hbrida que cubra profesionalmente ambas necesidades (y que ofrezca 4K con un codec funcional) Si bien la tengo hace 1 semana y llevo tan solo 3 shootings con ella la experiencia ha sido muy buena. Excelentes funciones de vdeo y muy buen auto foco para fotografa.

Sony finally listened to us, Camera is nothing short of AWESOME. Still needs articulating live vie screen and still needs an intuitive menu upgrade. Not to mention internal features like an intervalometer and double exposures etc... otherwise a great camera.

Battery life is so good.

I shoot manual focus lenses mostly and had to return the a7rii because the screen output was absolute trash. That has been fixed along with the joystick and new battery make this worth the money. Best Sony camera yet.

I love the camera!

there are a few things that it doesn't do that you would think it would.. Like communicate through its own wifi to a computer.. or transfer images like a wifi enabled camera would.. an articulating viewfinder would be useful.. other than that.... It is the dopest camera with huge versatility in the video world and photo world.. love them!

This is all I ever wanted the previous a7rii to be. Quick to focus, responsive, accurate, long lasting battery and it makes a Canon 85 1.2 perform like a native lens. Stunning!

I have zero complaints about this setup. This is not my daily driver but I use this set up VERY often and its lightweight, the battery lasts me about 2 full shoots before I need to replace the battery, and the small size of this body fits my hand perfectly.

RAW file image quality approximately the same (perhaps very slightly better) than a7R II. Improvement is greater with higher quality lenses for given focal length than upgrade from predecessor. Responsiveness in writing to memory card and battery life are significantly better.
