About a year ago I sold all my Canon cameras and lenses and switched to Sony because I simply can no longer haul all that heavy equipment around. I now own 2 of their cameras, the 6300 and the a7Rii as well as several Sony lenses. Love them both. Only downside right now is the lack of a good lens lineup.

Do you have an adapter so you can use great Canon lenses on great Sony bodies?

Well, actually, the Sony fans are just too busy shooting absolutely fantastic award images to take time out for partying

(1) Did I just plain miss it. If so, I'd be appreciative if someone could provide a link to it. You didn't miss it, there just aren't that many fans of Sony

(2) Are Sony users just more modest There just aren't that many fans of Sony

(3) I know there are Sony users here, so no one to celebrate cannot be the answer. As I have said over and over, you didn't miss it, there just aren't that many fans of Sony

Hmmmm. Sony a7m3 is a strange name for a wife (or current girl friend).

Given that Sony fans are spread out between so many cities and towns, it is a royal task to book and stage the requisit number of Drum and Bugle Corps.

I'm very happy with my Sony a6000. I don't have the budget for $1000 lenses and $2000 cameras, nor the expertise to buy used items with confidence yet. And I'd rather spend money on travel. That said, I wish there were more topics more relevant to Sony users here, but I have learned a lot anyway. I understand many UHH folks are film Canon/Nikon users from way back and switching to Sony mirrorless didn't make as much sense wgen they went digital. I'm just getting into photography after a 30-year hiatus, so going mirrorless was an easier decision. And the a6000 was a great choice.

Sony has a great native full frame E-Mount lens lineup! Yes, not as robust as a Canon's or Nikon's -- but unless you're a professional photographer there really isn't an issue, and even then the only real gap is for professional wildlife and sports photographers. Sony has done a great job plugging up any holes in their full-frame E-Mount lineup. They've released a lot of native glass these past two years. Really, the only thing that is missing are some of the super telephoto primes, like a 400mm, 500mm, and 600mm prime. Super telephoto primes are not the province of many photographers because these lenses will probably will start at $8K and go on up...

You might be talking about the APS-C E-mount lenses? -- can't comment there as I've not been tracking those.

As a Sony fan -- the real party time was the release of the A9, the release of the A7RIII was nice but more in-line for a quiet celebration. :-)

The A7RIII has met with great news and reviews -- but the A9 was the game changer!! Other than criticizing Sony's lack of native glass for the E-Mount-- the one thing that many DSLR fans always used to say last year was: "Mirrorless cameras will never be able to autofocus as fast as DSLRs -- it just isn't possible". Boy, did the A9 prove everyone that made that statement wrong. I don't hear that statement made at all anymore.

The A7RIII is just proof that Sony has been listening to their customers. The A7RII is a really good camera -- but a combination of things always bugged me a little: the battery life, no dual card slots, the position of the video recording button, ... Basically, the A7RIII fixes almost all of the little things -- and as a bonus made auto focus blazing fast. The A7RIII is an amazing camera! Perfect for professional wedding and event photographers. Tons of reviews are in now -- and I don't think I've seen even one negative review.
