bro, where do you live? Those nature pictures are beautiful. Regarding camera, if you're buying second hand, then A7III + 35mm 1.8 is great start

In 20 years and 1100+ weddings, I needed my backup one time. - when my Sony A7iii shutter went out at 579,000 count during the entrance of a bride at the ceremony. Was it worth carrying a second for 20 years just to have this happen to me one time? HELL YES.

C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) captured with my usual and modest astromodified a7III at 600mm. By pure chance, I was able to try the Sony 200-600mm a couple of nights ago.

I’m just going to answer this honestly because I think that’s what you want, he will likely be appreciative but disappointed. There’s a big jump between the a7ii and the a7iii.

lessons learned: Shoot 4K even if your final video will be 1080p. Downscaled video looks a lot sharper and also denoised. 1080 footage looks horrible on those cameras. You should have tried it. Also bitrate is not enough to handle wide shots as far as I remember. (but I'm not sure if a7iii shoots 50
