SONY A7RV - Thoughts after a YEAR as an AMATEUR (with photos)

[@spowartco]

What’s the camera setup you’re currently using and are you happy with it?

[@alirecant3955]

Im saving up for the A7RV hence Ive come across this video. Im planning for my future kids to have a time capsul through pictures. I also have a background in design and art composition. Im excited as I always am for a new hobby.

⁠@@alirecant3955that’s incredible, they’ll love that! I wish you all the best in this awesome hobby, you’ll for sure have a camera that won’t hold you back in anyway 👌🏼

20mm 1.8G for landscape and docu style street. 85 1.8 for portraits. 200-600 G for wildlife. I've had an A7r 3 for a few years and thinking of updating to the 5 as I'm happy with Sony after using Fuji and Nikon in the past.

Do you do much of or any video recording If so is it as good in this department as photography?

[@lancechinnian4043]

Some gorgeous photos!

[@mikec1851]

Agree 100% with you mate. The best advice I also was given is if you are serious about something was to buy the best you can afford and grow into it as it will save you $$ in the long run. It hurts the bank balance initially but you will be glad you did as you won't need to upgrade for many years. If that is not an option I say buy used gear. If you want to then pursue your photography sell the used gear and then invest in the best.

[@spowartco]

Thank you! Appreciate you sharing this, who ever gave you that advice is absolutely spot on!

[@grflow8400]

Good review!!

[@spowartco]

Thank you! 🙌🏼

[@TheLegend27StrikesBack]

If you enjoy using the camera, then that's all that matters.

[@spowartco]

Exactly, I for sure enjoy this camera 🙌🏼

[@jasonsiddall1483]

Oh man now I’m gonna have to buy one! 😂 good video, I have the 24-70 GM2 it’s an epic lens.

[@spowartco]

@@jasonsiddall1483 thank you! Awesome, you’ll end up with an excellent duo!

[@alirecant3955]

great pictures and I think their subtlety will work great on those walls you are planning to hang them up on.

[@spowartco]

Thank you, that means a lot 🙌🏼

Cropping is the most bogus way of thinking to photography in my opinion. I have a 7iii but for travel i use an olympus EP7, i have more range in a much smaller and nicer package

[@spowartco]

@@cristibaluta each to their own, cropping when I need to if I only have one lens comes in useful 👍🏼

[@blah163]

If you have the time to compose and you're able to "fill the frame" then you don't need to crop. But that's not always possible.

[@spowartco]

@@blah163 spot on. Not the go to, but a great tool to use if you run out of zoom or want to change the framing.

[@Government_Username]

Use tools when you need to. Dont limit yourself like an idot

[@cresk]

What a bunch of horse crop talking about a camera that takes the pictures instead of you filling the frame. Just go grab an old manual rangefinder camera and learn photography for heavens sake.

[@spowartco]

Love this 😂

[@blah163]

Rangefinders are for children learning how to take their first pictures. Real men use Daguerreotype cameras and slowly descend into madness from breathing the mercury vapor.

[@fredriksvard2603]

The audacity to make a video like this 😂

[@spowartco]

How come?

[@nevvanclarke9225]

Sony make great cameras but they are boring as bad shit to use and they are over sharpened images. In my opinion. They have no character people criticise Fujifilm for their auto focus but give me a Fujifilm any day of the week because it has beautiful colours it has character and the images look great. Yes you have to work a little bit hard to get him to focus but guess what? That's not difficult.

[@spowartco]

@@nevvanclarke9225 Fujifilm cameras are great too

[@dleise]

Having owned both kinds, this is an awful take. Maybe your lens situation didn't suit you, or you prefer the ergonomics of one over the other, but to call a body of any professional/prosumer system boring just means the body isn't being used properly. Someone might get the wrong idea.

[@nevvanclarke9225]

@@dleise The photos out of Sony cameras are just boring.I'm sorry they are!

[@dleise]

@nevvanclarke9225 I'm sorry as well.
