Some interesting perspectives from this photographer: I’ve been railing against this niche nuisance for years now. And I give Sony credit for at least starting to pay attention to it in 2023 with the A9 III, but it just isn’t doing enough. My A9 III feels slightly better to use than my original A1 t

Technically, the Sony far outperforms the Fuji. I shot Sony for a while, on a semi-pro basis, had a full lineup of G Master lenses, and if you want clean, clinically sharp images and unbelievable autofocus, that’s the way to go. But I sold the whole bunch and went back to Fuji. Nowadays I mostly use

What do you mean you say you’re looking to upgrade? Are you finding that your gear is limiting what you are able to capture? Or are you just looking for something new? I’m totally over the moon with the OM-3, but when it came time to take family Easter pictures, I went back to the Sony full frame be

Why do you need such great ibis for that use case? I switched from Fuji/sony to Nikon, but I’d probably pick a Sony A7C II or an Fujifilm X-T5 for your use case. The Nikon is much heavier.

Sony A7cII is my choice of the 3 for what you are looking for. Fuji autofocus is not good. So not good I sold all my Fuji gear because with each update it got worse. My experience. Lumix doesn't have an electronic shutter, no hot shoe, and no evf (I don't care about this really but the other 2 optio

I used both and now have sony a7cii + lumix s9 Do you do pro videography? If not, 8 bit is more than fine and I'd tell you to go for the a7c The s5 is a major downgrade in AF, the s9 AF is still worse than the sony (but good overall) but the build quality feels super cheap and then as you said, no e

well, im a pure hobbyist, so my opinion might just be totally different from people making money on photography. The K1-II story for me: I've got a bunch of Pentax glasses and I like Pentax colors/custom images (since I barely edit photos except for trying out different custom images), so I know I n

Very similiar story to yours: after years of being out of the photography game I bought a GX80 with a few lenses (12-32 kit lens, 20mm 1.7, and the 42.5mm 1.7). I love it, it’s such a great and capable camera for the shooting I was doing (holiday snaps, street photography). I’ve ended up pivoting mo

Although I love full-frame cameras, for travel I'd recommend a crop-sensor/APS-C or micro four thirds camera. FYI I'm a Canon shooter so you know my bias upfront lol. But I try to recommend what's right for the OP, not push my brand preference onto them. Some options: Canon R50 + Canon EF-to-EOS R l

43 is small enough on K1 indeed. The motivation initially were 1. 43 is not small enough when i adapt it for Sony A7CII, so I wanna see how far it can go with this when adapted (apparently not as far as I wanted since adapter now is the big boy) 2. there's a custom image "Kyushu" (nine autumns) avai
