nice shots...

I moved from the a7iii and a7Riv to the a9 because of the focus speed. The a9 and ii and iii are fast with different bells and whistles . I missed the resolution of the a7Riv so I now also have the A1 . The A9 is my back up but it is also my primary star photography and low light photography camera. The A9 has less noise at higher ISO. Is the a9 still viable ....Yes. The a7iii is fast but not as fast as the A9. But what about the a7iv. A used a9 is less $$$ than a new a7iv. If you shoot birds, animals, and sports, the A9 series is the way to go.

check out the Images posted by gwilliams6 using the 200-600 with 1.4x and 2.0x. I think it will answer most more your questions.

Tastee Treet. Yes it is still there. Beats McDonalds . Is everyone getting ready for the Last Great Race ?

Thanks all for viewing and your comments.

nice outfit. I had one several years ago. I used it in my college Photography class. Many of my older students were switching from film to digital. They would have a hard time figuring out the screens from the big three. I would show them the way Fuji is set up just like their old film cameras. I would still have my T20 except a student decided that she just couldn't live without it and purchased it from me. If I had $500 laying, around I would snap up your deal.

The Jay and the Starling generally run each other off the feeders. But the recent Freezing Rain and cold (12F) temperatures overcame their dislike to each other . So they ate on either side of the pinecone. Mother Nature takes its tole. I have 3 heated Hummingbird feeders for these hardy guys that hang around the winters here in Central Oregon. For about 4 years now 4 birds stayed all through the winter. Last year I found dead one near the feeder after a long very cold spell. This year, 3 stayed but after the first night of freezing rain I found another dead hummer near their favorite perching tree. It appeared that it had died in battle. Wings were out and the tail was splayed out as wide as it could be. Now after 4 grueling days and nights of freezing rain and 20 f low temperatures, I have not see any humming birds. I hope that they had migrated to the coast to get warm and find natural flowers. But logic says that the cold finally claimed them. I'll miss them this winter as I have my breakfast and morning coffee. I hope some will migrate to here next spring. Farewell my little friends.

what stuff is left ?

I totally agree with Bill. My A1 is great with birds. I recently tested the a7Cii and a7CR. I still prefer the A1. I'm hoping that the next Sony firmware will upgrade the A1 eye and tracking to that of the a7Cii and a7CR.

very nice shots

welcome, I'll be waiting to see shots from New Zealand

5 min to load one photo???? there is a major problem with your machine . I just upgraded my 2015 iMac with a 2T SSD from OWC. It is still a bit slower than my 2019 MacBook Pro but still very manageable. I have an 51 mp camera and it will do OK. But you have to weigh the cost of a SSD upgrade vs the cost of a ne M chip computer. I wasn't ready to give up the 27inch screen on my Mac. https://eshop.macsales.com/?trk_msg=SV7HBK88691KTCQSMKEGAPSSLK&trk_contact=4TH5T4A4U3FN8S2OLOMKO6NOD8&trk_sid=DFDD5CCL7DL8NKJ8A48POJ5TAS&trk_link=3VKVO33DGS2K91C0ODJH7DGC5S&APC=READERSPC&utm_source=listrak&utm_medium=email&utm_term=https%3a%2f%2feshop.macsales.com&utm_campaign=Area51email12-31
