Well I'm sure you've been following my saga so you'll probably know this already but I've always been looking for a one system do-it-all system (no different to anyone else I guess) but due to health limitations weight is a concern. However, I've always tried to find a way that this doesn't prevent me from getting the image quality I want. Now I know you don't get everything you want in life (if I did I'd have bought the Leica Q2 and not been struggling to find a 'walkabout' solution
) but as new tech comes out it brings me closer to the holy grail.
On top of this I've lost my mojo and have really fancied going down the more analogue approach of Fuji so that I might 'engage' more in the process, but as you may have seen from a previous post the Fuji, as beautiful as the cameras are, still wouldn't be a one stop shop and I'd still end up with two systems which defeats part of the purpose. Which brings me onto Sony.
With the crazy 61mp it allows a 2x crop whilst maintaining decent resolution meaning that I can use a 100-400mm for wildlife and get the same 800mm effective reach I currently have. Also with the newly announced Tamron 70-180mm f2.8 I could replace my 70-200mm f2.8 and save 700g, nearly half the weight. Actually it's less than half the weight when you consider that I currently use my 70-200mm with the FTZ adapter.
The 'only' drawback with the Sony system is that it's no less 'sterile' to use than my current gear.
Now I know to some on here it looks like I'm jumping from pillar to post and procrastinating over and over but it's just a case of weighing up all options trying to find the best solution/compromise. We're not talking a couple of hundred quid investment here and so it's not a decision I'm going to jump in to. Now I know all the stars are not going to align and provide me with the perfect solution (that would be the Sony System with Fuji styling and analogue controls
) but I need at least 90% of the stars to align
