What the dark night sky looks like now due to Starlink satellites

a real dslr or mirrorless with 30s exposure will get you close. The main image in this post is a composite of multiple images over a night, stitched together. An older Sony A7II, tripod, and f2.8 16mm lens could get you close to this with practice.

Apple Announces iPhone Air With Ultra-Thin Design

I have just gone back to carrying an actual camera. Is it a direct replacement? No, but if your main goal is to take pics, a 15 year old mirrorless or DSLR will take better pics. My sony A7ii (which can be found used for cheap) takes massively better pics. These days I carry a Nikon Zf with a small

SL2 or A7RIV?

The Sony colour issues are a myth. That was from the a7 and a7ii era. There's no Leica colour or look either. It's all about the lens rendering. A skilled editor can make X look like Y in terms of colour. If you want to use the Leica APO lenses, get the SL. Otherwise the a7riv and GM primes are a gr

Camera preferences for using vintage lenses?

I've found my Sony A7ii to work very well with vintage lenses. I find focus peaking works pretty well for me along with the overexposure indication (zebra striping). And if I want to get really accurate with the focus I can zoom in quite easily.

Worth the switch?

Right, as a fellow Sony 20-70 f/4 owner and M43 shooter, let me share my thoughts… I own the Sony A7C (so, a step up from your A7II) along with the 20-70 f/4, plus a few other lenses. I also have an OM-5 paired with the 12-45 f/4 Pro. When I bought the Sony 20-70 f/4, my intention was to replace the

Camera für Fotobegeisterte Freundin

Hey. Da du eine Sony hast, bleibt doch bei Sony. So kann sie auch deine Objektive nutzen. Eine A7II wäre eine „günstige“ alternative, oder auf APSC eine von einer a6000 bis a6400 ist der Preis nicht so hoch und die Menüführung kennt sie dann ja schon. An den Crop gewöhnt sie sich auch.

Sony Electronics just posted a PSP vid on their Instagram

I bought a Sony A7II mirrorless camera because of my PSP lmfao. If my PSP can survive 15 years of use and abuse surely something they make that's 5x the price will last just as long. It's been going strong since 2019!

Two hobbies collide

Oh don’t get me started haha. I like to buy used and lean towards gear that lasts and can be repaired. Holds true for all the coffee stuff. Capricorn mode: Camera bundle bought for $520 last November: Sony a7ii with kit lens and Sony 85mm, 4 batteries, an extended grip and a 300w strobe kit. Then I’

Anyone Switch From an A7IV to a Z6III or Z8?

I have beaten this drum to death by now but I went A7R2 -> Z7II w/Viltrox E-Z for about 4 months. Mid June sold the Z7II for a Z8. I shared your sentiment for disdain towards spending a metric ton just to shoot decent FPS on Sony, not to mention CFe A vs B. Ultimately it was a mix of that, having to

Budget Full Frame for Vintage Lenses?

Sony A7ii should be in your budget. Has decent focus aids and pretty effective IBIS, and it's easy to find in good condition.
