I am considering purchasing a Sony A7v. Does anyone have any experience with this camera? Good or bad?


Are considering the Sony A7iv ?
If it is, I'm liking what I read and hear. Worth a more serious look. Don't think it has been released yet, maybe early 2022

Hi Folks
I note the question has been asked before, but sometime ago and things tech change fast.
I need to upgrade from my present system too something with more power for photo and video editing.
So what are some of the latest specs that are being used at present?
I'm switching back to a Windows operating system from Apple....you ask why? cheaper and windows is much easier to upgrade
Regards and thanks.... Ron

You have made a great choice. A couple of years ago, I was in the situation where I was looking for an alternative the 17-55mm f/2.8 lens that has been the "standard" lens on whatever was my crop format Nikon for close to 15 years. I also have the 24-70 and 70-200 f/2.8 lensrs, but sometimes they are just overkill for what I expect during a day's outing. And I am also fortunate to have full-frame cameras and some other lens choices.

What I ended up doing was adding a 24-120mm f/4 lens that I found used for a very attractive price at my local camera store. It has proved to be extremely useful...both on the crop and full-frame bodies. In fact, the full-frame with that lens now gets used for more of the "casual" outings that formerly saw it left at home in favor of the crop outfit.

You have a very useful "core" of lenses that can serve you very well. You are in the enviable position of being able to add lenses if you "want" to, not because you "have" to.

I'm so grateful for all the amazing responses I've had to my question......thankyou everyone, what a great plateform to ask and get helpful answers.
I have decide to maintain my present kit and carry on. I am pretty happy with the result, so why spend more money for little improvement/gain
Regards

"...I did consult a well known photographer..." Who ronsmith? Far too many uncorroborated inferences on UHH, this statement is merely hearsay... And Well Know? Please share their name.

To answer your query I will give you an actual well known Sony Global Imaging Ambassador by the name of Mark Galer. I have great respect for Mark in as he not only is a virtuoso of his craft he is blessed with a very precious gift of clear and concise knowledge base transfer and documents his inferences with breathtaking artistry...

Please take the time to review all 50 minutes of his Sony Infomercial in which he showcases much of Sony's wonderful glass... I grew professionally from reviewing this tutorial at least a half dozen times!
Here is a link to Mark's splendid tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVdwKiTcJNs

What FL to I use for portraiture? 75mm to 400mm they all work well depending on the varying scenarios in which they are deployed.

If I had to choose only two lenses for studio & location portraiture it would be a 85mm f1.4 which can easily double as the same angle of view of a 135mm on a "Crop" body and for long glass a 300mm f/2.8.

However if you are shooting location "Events" for recompense then the fastest Zoom optic you can afford in the 70-210mm range is by far most appropriate and germane...

Below please find examples to corroborate my above inferences.

Hope this helps ronsmith...
Wishing all the best with your epic Sony A7111... so jealous... lol
