Thanks Scott and Evo for your opinions. Both interesting and informative.
I did not know that Sony made a good wireless flash, so that was really useful info. Thanks.
Scott, the two lenses that you mention (24-70/2.8 + 70-400 G SSM), are these Sony lenses or some other brand? And the 24-70, what is the suffix (or prefix) to that lens?
On the question of Liveview... my initial opinion of Liveview was that is was just another of these silly "enhancements" that manufacturers seem obsessed with adding to the next version of almost any product that you can imagine.
However, having given it some thought, and reflecting on the comments made by Evo, I can see some really useful applications of Liveview. About 90% of my shots are taken using a tripod, so I can imagine that Liveview (when combined with the normal viewfinder) could provide an additional tool to facilitate the taking of a particular shot - which could be very advantageous. Need to find someone who will let me use their Liveview camera so that I can make a hands-on evaluation of this function.
Liveview is something I would never have considered, so thanks Evo for making me think about this again.
