Well not for the first in my photographic journey I think I can admit to having made a mistake. And that mistake is getting rid of the A7 that I tried over Christmas!
I had a week in Prague last week and took the D800, even with just a couple of primes it was a chore to carry with me and took up a helluva lot more space than is ideal in this age of carry on and budget airlines!
So I've made the decision to sell all my lenses for the D800 aside from the 24-70 and 70-200 (until I see how I get on) and pickup either an A7 again or maybe the A7r, I can't see any reason why an A7x body with the 35mm f2.8, the 24-70 f4 and an adaptor for my Nikon 24mm can't do everything the D800 does for me and with a much lighter and smaller package.
Looking at the images I took with the A7 they're practically indistinguishable from my D800, and I'm sure the A7r would be even less so, I have considered Fuji or another Olympus (EM1) but I can freely admit to being a full frame junkie so it has to a Sony for me!
