Yesterday evening's project right before going to work. Poof found them trapped. Police/fire department uninterested. Wildlife agency only an answering machine.
Never touched nor held one before...kind of exciting.

Well done MM

Did anyone pre-order the a7RIV yet? I just placed my order. So excited!

Not even tempted. It wouldn't make the Alaska trip coming up
Nah sitting this one out.....going to wait for the unicorn mini-a9 which really is more fitting for my targets. If Sony hasn't
produced one by November-ish I'll begrudgingly add the Riv.
The pixel density of the Riv is 7.11, greatest pixel density I've ever seen.
Putting into perspective the D850 and A7Riii are 5.32 MP/cm² 4.94 MP/cm² respectively.
The difference is HUGE.
Be most curious how Sony addresses the associated noise with those densities. I'm sure they've got mojo up their sleeve.

Im ordered and with a personal connection I've confirmed first batch shipment

Nice. I had a client once who had a peregrine falcon that they rescued and fed for months before releasing. I really enjoyed watching its behaviors. It would also call out and a red tailed hawk would hang out in a tree close by...

I'm all aboard the stacked sensor or bust train

I'm not really hurting for cameras, there are a few things that I want, and mainly a FF A6xxx sized body with Z battery. Popup or external EVF, just dont use it enough to have it full time.

On another note, ready to preorder the Tamron 17-28, but am I too late? I'de hate to be on some impossible wait list.

Awesome Alfredo!!!

I have the funds available to order the camera, but that money is part of this year’s emergency fund. So, I’m going to hold for a while - maybe for the rest of the year - just to make sure it’s a safe purchase.

When I do buy the camera I hope to get the FE 200-600mm with it as well. 26 MP in crop mode @600mm is great. With just a few notable exceptions I haven’t ever needed huge-printable images, but having essentially a FF and a high-res APS-C camera in one single camera opens up new possibilities for me. I’ve always felt that more resolution just offers more flexibility.

I picked up a A7R3 last December for a trip to Portugal so I think I'm going to pass omg the A7RIV even though there are somethings that I really like about the new camera. What I'm really looking forward to is the A9 replacement.

This is what’s tempting me, I too have been waiting for the mini-A9/A7000, however with this it is both in one, has anyone seen if it has the zero blackout like the a9?

if it had the blackout free like the A9, everyone would know by now. They didnt advertise it, it's not there.

Apologies, if this has been already posed !!

Sony's Mike Bubolo talks about the new A7rIV

Enjoy !!

Speaking of that video featuring Kai and maybe the Peak Design tripod, here's a video on that very subject.

I hope your mini-a9 is released soon.

I was going to hold off on this camera but decided to get on the pre-order list. I was wanting to get the FE 100-400 GM but that will have to wait a while.

Thanks David! Sounds like a good approach. Yeah the crop mode will be quite interesting. I've seen some sample JPEGs from the camera and the ability to zoom in is pretty nice.

I would take the same approach if I had the a7RIII. I was going to hold off on this a7RIV but really wanted the dual card slots for my commercial work.
