It has a fair bit more than 5D4 because A7RIII is holding 42mp files vs. 30mp files.It has decent buffer for fast burst mode. Slightly more than the Canon 5d4.
Once it fills it takes ages to clear

Yea trueIt has a fair bit more than 5D4 because A7RIII is holding 42mp files vs. 30mp files.
Haven't used in wedding scenario but have used it in other places. It's a nice feature if you are certain you always want a certain person (eg. Bride, bridegroom) over others in focus. It could also work against you in that if you don't want a registered person in focus but someone else and the camera will try to fight you lol (of course there are ways around it by moving you focus point etc for the odd different picture)Face registration, do any of the wedding photographers here use it and how does it work, is it worth bothering with?
Thanks
Looks like the a7iii wins out against the A7Rii. Just need to get the d750 and lenses sold to finance it now.
Probably going to try and pick up a 35mm F2.8 and 55mm F1.8 as the lens combo. Both fairly pricey mind!
didn't get much enjoyment from shooting with the a7r2/sigma combo, but liking what they can do together.
The Samyang 35 definitely looks a worthy contendor to the sony.Then buy the fe50 and samyang 35

new 24mm f2.8 gets good reviews too. £279
The rumor site says that an A6700 is coming later this year but there are no specs yet, so they're speculating

I wonder if Sony would consider an SLR style APS-C CSC? Some prefer the mini SLR style to RF style.
...18-50mm f2.8.
where did you order from?24mm Samyang on it's way

Sony need to bring out a better range of APS-C lenses before a new APS-C body.
I have the 10-18, 16-70 and FE 70-300 which I use on my A6300 and they all great lenses and give a 35mm equiv 15-450mm. I know the 70-300 is an FE lens but it's still fairly compact and I doubt an APS-C lens would be much smaller. The 10-18 and 16-70 are compact enough.
What do folk want, a few more APS-C primes?

Sony 55-210mm is crap also at long end.
.
The 55-210 is actually a very nice lens for the money and I've taken many a shot throughout the focal range and been quite pleased.
This Pheasant was taken with one at 210mm wide open through a window too.
I would have thought 35 and 55mm are a bit close together, have you considered the lovely little Sony FE28 f2.0 and the 55?
What is a very nice lens for the money is my canon 100-300mm I got £10
I have shot a few wedding now, a few portrait shoots now with the A73 with a combination of Sony, Sony Zeiss and Canon L and I have slowly realised:-
1 – Sony colours, white balance at least, can be really off, it can go way too blue, I can see the EVF actually changing in real time. I find the white balance is worst when people stand in front of a lot of green, like a garden...
Why don't you use a WB preset or custom WB for colour consistency? Any large swathes colour will fool any Auto White Balance.
I know the locations can change (quickly) at a wedding, but if for example you are in the garden on a sunny day, would it not be easy to change to Daylight WB as you may be there for awhile? On my camera changing the WB is pressing a button and moving the wheel a click or two. Is it not as easy on the Sony, or Canon?It's a wedding, inside, outside, shade, open light. There isn't time to set WB every 2 mins.

Wait, what?? You got a Canon 100-300 for £10?
If I am in quickly changing situations I will use Auto WB as it gets it pretty close to correct most of the time, and if needs be, fix it in post, but if I am in a specific lighting situation for awhile I will choose an appropriate WB. One second changing the WB when shooting can save 20-30 secs highlighting groups of images to make a global WB change, or changing the WB for each specific image that was wrong.It's just easier to fight the WB in post than faff with changing settings all the time.
Slow to clear bufferreceived a couple of Fuji UHSII cards yesterday and I tried fast bursts with A7RIII. Not slow at all in fact its pretty quick to get into preview mode. Not sure why people complain about it being slow. Just get fast cards?
Wasn't particularly slow tbh. It actually took me a while to fill the buffer in the first place. I am not sure who'd hold the shutter down that long. Normally you'd burst in short periods when you expect some kinda action rather than holding it down?Slow to clear buffer
