@jonneymendoza tbf mate u cant really expect it to focus as fast as 5d3 that's why i kept my 5dsr ;-) its 90 to 95 % as quick imho
I never got round to trying an a7s the a7sii however is an absolute low light monster wow seriously impressive!!!!
check back on this thread i have posted some amazing high ISO shotsI haven't done a decent test yet against a7rii I can see why people would buy the sii tho cant lie those 12mp are high quality 12mp lol

@twist pretty much how we cant survive with dual slot cards hehe8mp is enough for A3 prints for me. We only have to go back a few years and no DSLR offered more than 12mp and we managed. I don't know how we survived back then.
@twist the a7r2 is a magical piece of tech but i may bring my a7s too as a backup in peru
Whisper this... so as not to cause panic... in the days of film no one had an extra card slot.
And it's light as f*** as well mate.I think youd be silly not to take a backup.

mate if i could shoot 20fps an 50mp on two xdblah type cards with a 100% AF coverage id be super happy.For some 8mp is enough, or having to work out backup routines between shoots every hour with 6 different cards and buy extra gear and insurance policies and to carry more stuff, why when I have 2 card slots! I know which option pretty much every working pro would go for given the choice. Only people who dont have the choice would choose the more complicated option.
Perhaps people should go back to film and manual focus lenses or living in a cave, because clearly technology has done nothing to improve things. Just because its good enough for them.... and then some people go on to talk about dinosaur technology. Hilarious.

What I've always advised is that people think about their needs and actually I don't think that people do this enough.
I don't need fancy gear too...... but I have GAS so I couldn't resist lol.
We all have GAS that's why we are here lol
lolExactly, some need the additional advantages and speed of a certain type of camera and the added security of dual slots etc. Un/fortunately, I am one of those people and all those things add up, but I also understand how nice it is to have a smaller camera with a single prime or two just for the other times and thats why I also have my A7. But this can create problems for my bank account.
Parp, sorry. GAS.
Did I miss anything?
I wish I mellowed out.... but GAS has got me hard...... and as soon as the new Sony G Master lenses come out... the bank manager will end up calling me to protest! lol
Sony FE 12-24mm f2.8 G Master
Sony FE 24-70mm f2.8 G Master
Sony FE 70-200mm f2.8 G Master

Sony A7RIII with DUAL SD slots, a gazillion AF ponts with 5 billion ISO, 50fps and 100mp
Did I miss anything?
I wish the r2 had dual cars slots. Let's be honest, 64gb gets used very quickly with those monster files.
In other news I've done really well not to buy a Nikon today. I wonder how long I can hold out..
I'm sure the next generation A7 series might get dual SD slots along with other great features, and it'll be a welcomed edition but it hasn't put me off investing in Sony now rather than holding out, I got a nice deal so just had to pull the trigger.
I'm going to just swap out my SD cards every hour or so as I have 10x 64Gb and 4x 32Gb SD cards at my disposal. Use a Western Digital drive to backup SD cards in the background.
How many full size uncompressed RAW images can you get on one 64GB SD?

Nope, was thinking of using a western digital portable HDD unit which has a built in SD card slot.You mean you use your laptop to backup your stuff?
I doubt I will take 739 shots on each 64GB SD card split over two bodies739. More than I thought actually.
If you're filling an SD card just swap it out for another one. The point of dual slots that people complain about is that there is no 'live' redundancy. However, the issue isn't a deal breaker by any means seeing as many photographers manage with a single slot just fine.
I do think this thread has the most amount of 'if only' type posts rather than people just getting out and appreciating the quality of the kit they actually have in their hands. It feels like Sony's short period between new bodies is fuelling the sometimes ridiculous amount of GAS leading to people agonising over the smallest of details instead of just shooting. That's not aimed at anyone in particular, just an observation.
O nice. Got a link.Nope, was thinking of using a western digital portable HDD unit which has a built in SD card slot.
So just swap SD cards and let it backup in the background etc.
I can pickup a 1TB version for £116 so a relatively cheap option. It also has built in wifi and is USB3.
and those main 2 faults they pick on are Card slots and battrey, there just jealous as they feel at risk, of Betamax syndrome
O nice. Got a link.
