Fujifilm X-A7 vs Sony Alpha 7 III

1-second in between the shutter press and image capture with the kit lens. It's a little slower than the X-T30 (0.05-second), but is decidedly more consistent than the X-A5, which could focus as fast when it used its limited phase detection coverage area, but slowed to as long as 0.5-second when focusing away from the central area of the frame

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

The Fujifilm X-A7 ($699.95 with 15-45mm lens) is the latest entry in the company's entry-level mirrorless camera series. It's built around a touch-based interface, easy enough for casual snappers to use, but with manual controls to help you learn the craft. Image quality is excellent, autofocus is vastly improved versus the previous-generation X-A5, and 4K video recording is an option

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 Though it's now been replaced by the Sony α7 IV, this well-built camera remains a popular choice among newcomers and photography enthusiasts.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.

Clean HDMI out with 1080p/60 and 4k/30 through HDMI. But 4k is only delivered when you press the physical shutter or record button in movie mode, otherwise it is just the default 1080p/60 idle output. The only downside to 4k output is that OBS only recognizes it when set to device default and you have to press the record button again to get access to other resolutions and framerates. I think the continuous autofocus is decent but annoying

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

The product box was pre-opened I could tell from the sides and some equipment inside did not have plastic bag coverage. The AF is poor quality compared to other cameras. a bit disappointed with Fujifilm. I am planning on buying the T-4 but am now hesitant after this product

There seem to be a lot of confusing overlap, but once you dive deeper into each setting and dial down to the one that you want for a particular situat...

Cons: Battery backup is very bad, it lasts just 30 to 40 min. Night photography is terrible. In night it won't fulfill our need. Sports mode is not upto the mark for motion photography

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

I'm looking for something below £750 / $1000 (preferably well below), a general-use camera for travelling, taking out on walks, to museums, etc. Some low-light, but usually the grey British outdoors. Traits I'm looking for are.

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.

The most important of which is that it needed to be small and lightweight. I love my DSLR - and when I'm shooting portraits at a park or getting shot of the milky way, that camera is my go to. But for every day walking around, I needed something that I can gather quickly and start shooting. A cell phone is ok, but they lack the sensor size, dynamic range, low light performance and a decent optical zoom

I mean the A7 3 is really borrowing a lot from other cameras in this series like the A7, R3 and the A9, but there are some standout things I do want t...
