Apart from very rare exceptions, I only use flash for the dance floor as Sony mirrorless works well in low light. Try and push it with available if you can, just watch your shutter speed doesn't fall too low - if it's below ~250th then start shooting more bursts. Don't worry too much about IQ...

I use both side by side for weddings so I can probably help. The r2 files mean there’s lots of scope for cropping when you’re editing and still getting excellent images. The 7iii has much better af, much faster frame rate, continuous silent shooting, bigger dynamic range and anti flicker...

I got this one about 6 months ago. Haven’t been able to tell any difference between the battery performance vs the original batteries and the charger works well. https://www.amazon.co.uk/NP-FZ100-Newmowa-Battery-Charger-Digital/dp/B07CTFQ2KR

I think that was probably r2 with zeiss 55 at 1.8.

But don’t forget, colors are rubbish on Sony cameras... https://flic.kr/p/QqqT8d (Link because my phone is refusing to let me put the image in )

you might find it worthwhile investing in a grip extension for it if you're shooting for prolonged periods. Unless you've got v small hands, you can end up with some unexpected hand/finger pain without one.

It can be frustrating but generally it does the job. The eye af is miles better on the iii and af is generally quicker. The R2 is great for whacking in to aps-c and giving extra versatility with the 85mm. Single shot silent shooting is a massive pain! On dance floor shots I’ll mostly just...

Not sure why I'm so late to the party on this thread!! I've been shooting weddings with an A7RII and A7III combo all this year. Love them!!

Well I've added an extra 16Gb too (from crucial), and moved approx 500gb of images on to an external drive. I am blown away with how much quicker it is! Lightroom is a pleasure to use again rather than something I dreaded opening. It's gone from a 5 minute task that could take an hour to a 5...

I’ve just been speaking to a very tech savvy friend, his advice was don’t do it unless you upgrade the HD to a SSD. Cheapest option is for a 500gb SSD, 16 gb ram upgrade then he’s recommended some very good external storage that is about £70 for 2Tb. Works out about £300 for the three things.

Thank, Chris. I’ll have another look as the first time I put all the details in to the crucial website it said around the 175 mark for the 16gb set.

Cheers. The import runs very quickly if I don't build smart previews but then it takes forever to open the images and edit them in LR - the time/pain I was getting on my old import seems to be transferred to the edit phase. Am I missing something obvious here??

Many thanks - I haven't got anything else open so it's just LR doing the damage! Sounds perfect, thank you! It was their website I was looking at so it's great to have feedback on them!

Hey guys, I’m hoping there’s someone with enough Mac knowledge to help get rid of my beach ball angst!! I’ve just changed camera systems to Sony and LR is almost incapable of coping with the files off the A7rii on my iMac - compressed RAW files are over 40mb, uncompressed in the 80s. We’re...
