Well, I never thought I'd want it either. When Sony announced the 7M4 I was hoping for something between 24 and 30, figuring that range would be ideal. At 33 it was close enough. I bought the used 7RM3 as a second camera when I realized I simply didn't want to deal with two separate systems and sold off my M-4/3 gear. The 42MP was way more than I wanted at the time. Now, however, I love it. The sensor (same as the 7RM2) is fantastic, and 42 isn't near as bad as I thought it'd be, really only slightly annoying! And while I can't imagine dealing with 50 or 60, I'd still like to give it a try!I'm just not ready for 42MP. 24 would be my sweet spot.
One thing that can really bite you on the bum ...You guys are NOT helping me with my GAS problem.
I should just let go of my A7ii, but it's hard to let it go for trade-in prices. It's still a very capable camera even though it's not the latest and greatest.
I think they mean the RM3, not the A. From what I’ve read the only difference between them is an improved screen, but the difference in cost is substantial.That is why I'm leaning towards the R3a rather than an R4a. I think 42mb's will be fine for what I want out of a camera now vs the 61mp of the later R4a.
I've got an i7 computer so speed is not a worry, besides, I'm retired so nobody is holding a stop watch on me when playing with pictures on the computer.
My desktop isn’t bothered with processing. Upload time is a lot longer though. Overall I agree, but there’s also a lot to be said for the flexibility of cropping or shooting an 18MP image in APS-C mode.When I ran a Z7 for a while back in 2020, its 47Mp files brought the high spec Microsoft Surface Book laptop I was using at the time to a crawl. I’m of the view that 24-30 Mp is plenty for almost anything that an amateur will need.
Yes. I recently found out that Adobe had obligingly uploaded sufficient images to fill my 'free' storage space on their servers. Without my knowledge or consent!I have a Ryzen 7 powered Lenovo laptop currently, and I don't really find any difference in speed when opening files from different cameras I've had in Lightroom. Fuji files might be a bit slower, but even that is hit & miss. The differences I notice in processing files from the 42mpix a7R III or the 20mpix RX100 are really more about image quality and malleability, not that much speed.
Though one thing to check for any Lightroom user who finds his computer coughing: check that the Lightroom cloud app isn't eating your processor for lunch in the background. There's some bug in the app that makes it hog resources while doing absolutely nothing. Kill the app and disable it from running at startup.
It's a very good camera. The AF is pretty good, but of course Sony 's latest models are among the very best out there.SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....THIS morning I jumped off the deep end and ordered...drum roll please..............a used A7Riii from B and H. They had what looks to be a nice one with fewer shutter actuations than my A7ii so I'm pretty sure it'll do. Won't be here until Wed of next week but I've waited this long I think I'll be able to wait a couple more days. I think. Maybe.
Now the question is, do I put my A7ii up for sale at a very good price just to move it out. I really am looking forward to having the same battery in all my cameras.
I did a comparison of my cameras on the DP site using their tool and found I really didn't need the A7RiiiA's improved screen.
The sensor in that camera is fantastic. According to people over at Dyxum, it's the same sensor as the D850 and Pentax K1MII. I love mine, and even if I end up adding another camera at some point will likely keep it.SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....THIS morning I jumped off the deep end and ordered...drum roll please..............a used A7Riii from B and H.
