More DR and better ISO would help as I often take pictures in crap light and in places that need higher DR if I want to stop the highlights blowing and need to raise the shadows. Even an A7 struggles in Normanby light
He hasn't mentioned the dreaded "D800e" words since I brought it up.
He just says when I had full frame now.
I keep imaging you as scruffy little 14yr olds for some reason, level of intellect perhaps. You are clearly obsessed with me though, do you dream about me also?
Dude I could use a 1mm sensor and be 10 times the sorry excuse for a man you and your twin are. Don't flatter yourself, I stopped mentioning it long before you and other lad came out of the rotters with your lame 90's flames, because I was reminding myself of boring Sony A7III wedding photographers who never shut up about the gear they use. Money would be better spent on some grow the funk up classes for you.
It's amusing that you two lovers still follow one another around like 2 lost orphans nobody else pays attention to
As for the rest, was the A7 and ii crap in low light before the iii came along or something? Why do you insist everyone use the same camera? Bit boring that no?
Still hurts then. D800e
it's a camera dude, a piece of gear, get over it already . . When you realise you've mentioned it more than I have over the past few months . . 
That's one of the problems with improvements such as this, unless you see the difference for yourself it is hard to think it could be a significant improvement if you have been pretty happy with what you have already. Lot's of Canon users know the sensor's in their cameras are lagging behind Sony (and Nikon), but they are content with what they are getting with what they have.
With less time between models improvements may not jump as much as it did for me. These third generation Sony's do seem have a bigger improvement than between the 1st and 2nd generation cameras. And it is quite noticeable in my case.
What did you sell?
@woof woof BUY!!!
Less talk and more action chap! Time to stop the waffling and time to buy the awesome Sony A7 III
C'mon, this is impossible for you!
Is the A7III worth 4x the price of an A7? That's what you need to ask yourself.

but as I'm using AF more and MF less a camera with good AF and eye detect might be nice He hasn't mentioned the dreaded "D800e" words since I brought it up.

And why are you obsessed with my old D800E? It's unhealthy, it seems to be eating you up inside for whatever reason. it's making both of you look extremely pathetic. Yes I like using old lenses and given the chance to go out for a day by myself I'd put maybe three manual lenses in my bag and head off into the hills or to the coast but my days are pretty full and also I'm often pushing a wheelchair too so photography really has taken a back seat and a lot of my pictures now are taken rather quickly with an AF lens and then zapped off electronically to Mrs WW family overseas. We try to send some pictures every day. I may be talking myself into it
I wouldn't necessarily go by what's posted here as it's all going to be mangled by the posting process to some degree. Things may be different when you're looking at a full sized picture at home. Any increase in image quality is welcome but the making things easier bit is attractive and as I keep saying stuff like face detect make it possible to take pictures that couldn't have been taken before, not without stopping the lens down or asking the subject to freeze while I focus manually or move the focus point.
I took this a few weeks ago and it's now framed at home, it's just a moment in time but I couldn't have taken this picture with anything other than a mirrorless camera with at least face detect...
I have a lot of pictures like that now and I like that one of Mrs WW emptying the birdseed bag too.
Before I started using fact detect the only way I could take a picture of someone without getting them to pose would be to prefocus or let a smaller aperture cover movement with DoF. You can shoot quickly with a manual lens...
But that only works at smaller apertures like f5.6/8 so that the DoF covers any movement. Try it at f1.8-2.8 and chances are you'll be off.
The new kit with bells and whistles just adds other abilities.
.... But seriously? However did people take street candids on the fly beforehand? Many of them manage just fine with SP AF centred. If you feel you need it so much, fine, that's what you rely on but I manage candids frequently without ever using FD. I think you're over selling it to yourself. Maybe you should just buy. I was just saying you're doing fine with what you got. I didn't know the A7 was that far behind
Bit smug
Ah that makes sense, E mount APS-C and FE full frame Doh!!
I'm sure this new FD is great, but whether one 'needs' it or not is another thing. You're paying a lot just for that benefit. I have used FDfor video and it does work well, and now we have touch screen which is much faster than using a pad or even joystick t shift focus points. It's pretty much instant, where I touch, it'll focus. I can do this with the cam up to my eye also - takes a little bit of practice to nail but once you do, it's hard to ever go back to D-pads
I was kidding on the smug part, hence the smilie, I only use those when I'm playing
