    • I don't know what people see in new cameras really. Used ones just so much more exciting. A GFX 100 for £1800. You don't need to buy a single medium format lens for it... Bang on a 10 quid adapter and Minolta 50mm F1.4 for 50 quid and it looks like a Leica M11 with Noctilux F0,95. A7 IV for £1300... What a bargain that is. Does everything. If you need the exotic frame rates and codecs... EOS R5, 4K/120p, 8K raw, £1700. Sony a1... You can go to Japan and the flight pays for itself. The list goes on. I will never buy a new camera or pre-order one again.
    • My thoughts on the blog. https://www.eoshd.com/news/are-canon-back-on-top-in-specs-race-sony-a7-v-and-canon-eos-r6-mark-iii-comparison/
    • I agree. However, when this rumor first surfaced back in July, it seemed fake and not any kind of a leak from Sony. The FX3 and FX6 are still wildly popular cameras in the TV/doc business, so there is no urgent need to replace them. Meanwhile, the FX9 has been entirely discontinued, which is a shame as it has the best image of any FX camera. Based on market conditions, it is possible that Sony may abandon the prosumer Cine Line FX cameras in favor of the lower FX cameras. Since Burano came out at $25K, which is about $10K overpriced based on where the F5 CineAlta was priced, I've had a very bad feeling about Sony and its market segmentation.
    • The thing is, open gate is a pretty big deal for people in charge of social media for companies big and small. Almost everyone i know doing that kind of work is a Sony shooter and are frustrated that they don't have that option, while my S5II X does.  I know of at least three folks who switched to Lumix for open gate, though that's a drop in the bucket. Still, as other companies introduce it, Sony might find themselves shedding customers if they too don't introduce it soon. 
    • $3,000 being entry-level is crazy...the A7V is a beast but so is every single camera out right now haha.  Honestly the GH7 or used G9II is whats tempting me at this point if I were going to upgrade.  I'd take the smaller sensor for crazy IBIS, tons of features and great IQ that punches above what people expect from MFT.  Lowlight would be fine with a sigma 18-35 and metabones 0.64 lol.   But that's a totally different topic...back to the A7V.  I just don't like how expensive cameras are now; seems every new model is crazy in price.  Nikon are the outliers with incredibly competitive pricing.  Sony not having Open Gate here is very lame.  Yes you don't need Open Gate, yes the A7V is still a beast, its just that every camera is a beast right now.  I could buy a 5 year old A7SIII on eBay for $2,400 USD and never need better in my life...and we had this camera 5 years ago.  The fact that the A7V doesn't give me a dramatic reason why I'd want it over the 5 year old A7SIII or even the A7IV which as previously said will become cheaper...says a lot.
