Hi fellow photographers. I am a sony user.. and have all the lens(some high quality) so I am stuck..sort of with staying with sony(dont feel like starting from scratch). any whoo will keep it brief..
I have a 2 sony a7r iii cameras (one really backup) and usually upgrade every 3-4 years. I sort of want to get a newer sony but after over info reading.. not sure if I should. One concern is that if I wait.. the value of the camera will be not even worth selling..so upgrading will be more costly(count on the money I get from older camera to assist with newer on. was looking at a7r v .. but seems like the a7r iii is better with low light/less noise w higher iso. there are numerous other better aspects to the a7r v but looking at less expensive models (a7 iv .. ) as the a7r iv is an option.. I would just jump to a7r v if I would go that route. I sort of have the money but feeling that "Do I really need it?" I am content with the a7r iii and agree with most reviews (the auto focus would be a better keeper rate with portraits with a7r v but also a heavy national park lover ((not professional..yet!)) but a7 iv has same I believe but having an issue downgrading mp.

bottom line is do I take the loss and know that I will get very little for a7r iii when i do sell it(will eventually) or eat the higher cost of 7rv or take the mp loss as I do really know its not going to effect the way i take pictures.
add'l issue with the a7r v is the extra space I will need to store(again not really needed but i only shoot in uncompressed raw..because with digital .. this is the negative of the picture and want the highest available saved image. Fell free to attack me as I want advice.. and looking for criticism even if its rough

will still have one a7r iii a as back up (or can use for low light ....) and use a7r v or iv for flash / regular iso levels.

thank you for any input... this is mainly for a trip to mt rainier in july fyi

Sounds like you have great equipment and if you're going to print I could see the need not only for newere cameras and lenses but a new high quality printer. If this is the case I would say a Fuji GFX 150 with a set of prime lenses and maybe a zoom or two would surface. Now printers, a lot of really high quality 24" to 72" 12 color printers out there from Epson and Canon plus a few others, Dye Sublimation is also a possibility. However if you're not printing examine what you have right now and if the shutter count on the bodies is less than 200k it's probably a juse excessive accusation.
