A7r, A7r2 - and why I'm keeping both ...

Visiting a friendly Neighbor for the Thanksgiving Dinner.

She also happens to have a wonderful orchid collection with some orchids in bloom.

Well, there is also some turkey meat buried in there, next to mashed potatoes, gravy, dressing, sweet corn, red cabbage, cucumber salad, and cranberries, followed by a piece of pie. :grin:

K-H, from now on we shall call you: 'The Birdman of Enchantment' ... :clap:

Thanks Bart.
Here is an un-cropped version of one of the White-breasted Nuthatch images.

I think I prefer this version, showing more of the environment that bird lives in.

Well no HIFs shots with electronic shutter, too severe rolling shutter artifacts.

The IQ degradation (compressed RAW, ES) is just astounding!

A9 has it and is the champ! I am waiting for my A7III with an A9 sensor.

A7III with an A9 sensor isn't that the a9? :facesmack:
What do you see differently?

Price tag, naturally.

OK K-H

Got myself an A7R3 and having trouble setting it up on A and S settings.

Want front wheel to change fstop only on A. What am I doing wrong since SS changes too?

Should I get the a9 for a bit larger feel in the hand?

I woud like for someone to detail their settings. If the User Interface is better on this than on the A7R2 then they must have been real bad!

Theres usually a category called “Dial Setup” in the Gear Category Submenu 7. I don’t know if this was changed after the A7RII but that’s where you set it on that camera.
