Errr
Did it lock eyeAF with A7III in this image?
Just giving capture one a try and not sure if anyone else thinks the same but the difference in colour rendering is HUGE. Actually would make you think adobe wants the A7III files to look terrible
Download it and try it. Run them side by side same files. Difference is absolutely huge for skin etcIf the differences can be seen at web size how about posting an example or two?
I've been thinking of replacing CS5 but subscribing to CC doesn't appeal to me.
Not Sony specific, but I create a profile using a Colorchecker Passport for each camera to not only hopefully give accurate colours, but also accurate colours that match between different cameras. It's up to me to add any 'style'. I'm not sure if you can do that with C1. I use Adobe Camera Raw and occasionally Lightroom.I prefer LR colour, C1 is just a magenta boost and loads of contrast by default.
Have you tried switching the LR profiles?

Mmm, so he prefers the way C1 renders RAW files compared to Lightroom, but he felt everyone (on the internet) he could consult on the subject was biased towards Adobe, so he consults Phase 1! So people who use software may have a bias, but a maker of one of the the software being compared is going to be totally fair. And indeed the chap proved that for praising the way Adobe's software does certain things well. Yeah, OK then. He didn't actually say, as far as I saw, which image, if any, looked like the scene in real life.

But LR is a more complete package that offers more than CP one. I haven't found anything that does everything to a decent standard like LR6.
Might have to consider the 55mm f1.8 or maybe even the 50mm f1.8 if I stick with Sony. A small 50mm f2 would be nice.

Indeed.Thats the problem, everyone says they are better in some way (mostly processing) but most cant use catalogues or manage libraries, non destructive, etc etc.
They will also need to be able to read and implement Adobes file format and XML info for a seamless switch..... but that aint going to happen, most people dont want to lose all the work they've already done and thats why Adobe has a huge advantage already.

I’ve been thinking about chopping in my Fuji kit and dipping a toe into Sony water with an older model to see how it feels. I’ll be honest and say I’ve been a bit underwhelmed when I’ve picked them up previously but hey I need to be a bit more prudent about these things at present.
I was thinking about picking up an older A7R or A7ii as the used prices on these are pretty good now.
In truth I don’t need the huge MP of the a7r2 which is what led me to look at the A7ii to start really. I’m also not really wanting to drop a huge amount of cash on the new a7iiir until I know Sony is for me.
I’m wondering if anyone here is still using them and their thoughts.
Performance wise I wouldn't be surprised in the Fuji is faster in operation but I'd take my A7 every single time and not just for the old lenses as pixel peeping I still haven't seen a Fuji APS-C raw that I've downloaded look as good as an A7 raw via my CS5.
I don’t think the older Sony cameras are a good indication of how good Sony is right now or because to be honest, I’d take a X-T2 over a A7II.
Put your money where your mouth is fanboi and post some examples then.I still haven't seen a Fuji APS-C raw that I've downloaded look as good as an A7 raw via my CS5.
Thanks Raymond. I currently have an X-Pro2 & X100F so the same sensor as the X-T2 and frankly I really don’t like the files from it, so that wouldn’t work for me - apart from the fact I prefer the X-Pro2 over the X-T range.
Next you know you'll be saying you'd rather take f2.8 prime over f1.4I don’t think the older Sony cameras are a good indication of how good Sony is right now or because to be honest, I’d take a X-T2 over a A7II.
I'd suggest getting an A7RII which is where things started to really improve. These days they go at a very good price, especially a bargain for what you get.I’ve been thinking about chopping in my Fuji kit and dipping a toe into Sony water with an older model to see how it feels.

Well you could shoot in APS-C mode and get 18mp filesMy only real issue with the A7RII is the file size which is nowhere near what I need. Hell, this time last year I was happy with my 16mp Nikon Df files

Before I got A7RII I felt the same way but once you see the results there is no going back

Haha! I didn’t know the A7RII did that! I think I’ll have to take a closer look at them
No point keeping something if you don't like it. Have a look at the lenses you'd like on Sony first though, as it's not a cheap system. The second hand market is really small as well, and depending on the lens can be bit of a minefield due to variation.
Haha... I’ve not yet spent enough time in turmoil wondering what to do let alone having buyers remorse before buying or putting funds in place. Doubt yours will be about by the time I’ve gone through this processA shameless plug - I have one for sale
I for one will never tire of great photographsofsuch beautiful sceneryI know, I know... I need to find a new location. But the lough is only 5 minutes drive from home and is by far the best scene for miles around....

Won’t be worth as much eitherYou never know
It won't last long if it goes on eBay.
I normal wait till I get £1 or £3 selling fee offerWon’t be worth as much either
Unless you fancy and X-Pro2 & X100f in part ex.
Lens wise is an easy choice - just replicate what I have with Fuji at present, 28mm, 35mm, 85mm. I believe the Sony range of lenses are pretty good st these FL’s.
I have to disagree.
Sony has never tempted me until this generation and time hasn’t done any favours to its first couple of bodies, it wasn’t great when it came out and its still isn’t great now.
Your obsession (?) of being able to use old lenses are VERY VERY niche, 99% of people will want auto focus and old Sony body sucks, we all know that.
And from what I’ve seen...I’d take my Fuji X-pro 1 flies over those over the A7 any day of the week too.
