Canon EOS M6 vs Sony Alpha 7 III

Our verdict on the M6 is pretty much the same as the M5—they've got the same tech inside, after all. Both are solid performers, but they lag behind the best in the category. The M6 is less expensive, and more compact—the lack of an EVF keeps the size and cost down. If you're invested in the Canon system, it's a strong option, as you can adapt SLR lenses with full functionality, and use the same flashes

I then tried to use the manual focus but nothing happens, I remembered I had to turn the manual focus option on, so I get into the menu and the focus mode option is greyed out, if I try get into the option an error message "your lens is not supported or its installed incorrectly" shows up, only way to go is to shut camera off and turned it on again, which will return autofocus to work, but if i repeat the exercise it just stops working all over again, sometimes even without crop mode/zoom mode on, just by going from 28 to 70 mm on the lens, or even mid way, maybe 40 mm or 50 mm. Sometimes even the camera would pull me out of menu screen, I would click menu button, I am trying to navigate menu, then you can hear the focus mechanism moving and camera pulls me out of menu screen o regular screen, I have to press menu again, sometimes to be pulled out of the menu repeated times I re installed the lens (white dot with white dot, turn until click noise) golden plates on the lens are clean, did this 3 times, nothing. I called Amazon service, friendly person who quickly contacted me to Sony, and this is the part I did not like. We went through basic things to try and fix the issue, including resetting the camera, after which the issue presented itself quite quickly, so the person at Sony (again, a very friendly and helpful person) told me I needed to send the camera back to Sony for service

Battery life is bearable but barely. I ALWAYS carry an extra because the camera battery gauge seems to go from full to empty without much warning. I don’t much care for the SD card slot; it’s right up against the battery so it’s not always easy to get in and out. I’ve set up the camera for back button and central single-shot focus, my preferred setting on all cameras

I started with Nikon, went to a Canon 5dmkii, have had other canons and also 3 fuji x series cameras Firstly, what kind of company ships a $2000 camera without a battery charger? I get it, it can plug into your computer to charge or car adapter via USB-C. But that means more wear and tear on the USB port which will eventually be loose and then have issues. When I get home I prefer to take my battery out and put it on the charger which will tell me when its charged. Second

That's actually sharp enough. That means this camera could be a dream. Come true for landscape photographers who value portability and you'll be pleas...

The best camera for landscape photography we've tested is the Sony α7 III. Though it's now been replaced by the Sony α7 IV, this well-built camera remains a popular choice among newcomers and photography enthusiasts. It uses a 24-megapixel full-frame sensor that delivers incredibly high-quality images with a ton of dynamic range to give you more latitude when processing your photos.

But sadly the 15-45mm Lens has way too many limitations. It's very inconsistent depending on focal length. It's slightly soft most of the time. I would have gladly have paid more for a SHARP walkaround zoom lens

8 lens. Obviously, the latter is the most expensive option, but it also has a coveted autofocus feature. For the former two options, I know that the difference only really comes down to the zoom capabilities (55mm vs. 85mm), but are there are other features on the 55mm lens that prove it superior to its 85mm counterpart?

It's become clear that the A7C overheats shooting 4K24/4K30 around the 1:20 or 1:30 mark. This is not even recording continuously, it's just having the camera turned on (for CamLink output or b-roll) that long at a time. I wanted to see if this "issue" lines up with what the A7C is capable of. I do video work for a living, so I am considering selling my A7 III and getting an A7S III as my main video shooter

However, since it sticks out, you can use your left eye at the same time while tracking, which is a big advantage for action photography. No weather-sealing: I wish it was weather-sealed, but this given the price point I don't expect this advanced feature. No in-body-image-stabilization: Again, something I wish it had, but no Canon camera has this feature except the most recent R5 and R6 models (as of August 2020). No RF lens compatibility: The M lenses still don't have a good selection

The A9 has all of Sony’s bells and whistles, but it comes with a price tag to match. The new A7 models, however, bring many of the A9’s advancements down to more pedestrian price levels. These are certainly still professional level cameras — the A7 III runs for $1,999 without a lens, while the higher-resolution A7R III commands $3,199 — but the difference in price from the A9 leaves a lot of room for lenses or other necessary equipment.

Otherwise, just a paperweight. I cleaned the contacts with the magic eraser as the app said and still doesn’t work. Any advice? It’s somehow on software 3.6

A Sony A7iii could be an option as they’re slightly lighter and, being an older generation, cheaper. The biggest bulk & weight is going to be your lens though and if you’re using it professionally I wouldn’t recommend cutting down on the quality of lens so I’m not sure how much you’re going to save in terms of weight and size overall to be honest!

IS was on, but I used a tripod and electronic shutter to minimize shaking. But even with other settings I get the same results.

Before getting into the details, I'll just get the summary out of the way: This camera is fantastic. It is replacing my aging Canon 5D Mark III, and it does that job well. The biggest benefit for me is the in-body stabilization (SteadyShot), which works perfectly for legacy and other non-stabilized lenses. Sony calls this a "basic" model, but it is far beyond what I would consider to be basic
