it's the thing I always have with me when abroad. I'm used to it because I got it 4 years before I bought my first laptop. And there are workarounds for a lot of things on it...


Now I watched the video. Good I'm not into wedding photography, good there's a battery grip, not good they put so many functions into it and a battery change or system error resets the custom buttons. As it seems, dancers in motion and dim lights will be too challenging for the cam and frustrating to the guy behind who happens to be me. I try to be nice to me but I'm also curious and like new toys. I was wondering why Darren rated the whole thing so high. It's about image quality, right, but it's always easy to cheer the images coming out of a camera instead of getting the images the camera won't want to take, because of empty battery, not so state of the art AF, stupidly lot of settings not to speak of the apps you can buy additionally... .


That's the thing I always complained when using Sony, the guys in their development department have more attitude of geeky game boys than working photographers.

  For the most part it gets high praise because it really does well what many DSLRs just don't do, namely 4K video with pro AF and super 42Mps high DR low noise still images, with as many bells and whistles as anyone could possibly wish.

   But all it does apart from that is shows that it's AF and frame rate still isn't quite there.......at the moment................however at the rate of new models I don't think it will be long before it is.........I still can't understand why they can't cram more amp hours into the battery though, things have advanced some in the last few years.
