I shall give it a shot!

I ordered a Sony A7R iii with the 24-105 f4 G OSS lens. I wanted a full one week testing and return, replace with new or refund policy. Not repair!
They are waiting a go, no-go from their district manager.

The main contender was of course the Nikon Z7.

Both had their pros and cons. I decided on the availability of a proven travel zoom lens with excellent quality for landscapes and general travel. The compromise was the ergonomics. Not in the build for me, but menus.
I have tons of set-up videos on YouTube and elsewhere to help me up and running on that score.

My Fuji’s? The repaired X-H1 and a few lenses have been given to my grandson who is here currently and resides in Canada. I shall keep the X-Pro2 and the wife the X-T1.

The Df....I have not decided what to do with it yet...along with some of the lenses. No haste there.

If the Sony dealer cannot give me return guarantee, I shall get one in the States, coz my family is traveling to and fro quite often. Not a big issue.

I have a trip planned in January 2020. I have a colonoscopy scheduled on Christmas Day! Guess Santa’s present for me. If results are satisfactory, I shall give myself a New Years present.

If, God forbid, something is not up to scratch re: medical test....I shall ask the wife to give me a present to ease my worry!

Sony refused to give me time to test and return/new. Once bought it is only repair!
So that option is out.

I live in a very dusty environment. And when it rains, there is dust followed by rain.
Nikon has better weather sealing. They will allow replace the body and/or lens if faulty when purchased new.
2 years warranty. Good pricing matching U.S prices.

Decision is whether a Z6 or a z7. Z7 is a a want ( what about my computer hw with those files..I have a fully specked late 2012 iMac ? And all the sw? Catalina does not run quite a lot of it esp. my CS6 ).

Lenses I shall get 24-70/4, 12-30, 85/1.8.

I purchase tomorrow.
