I'm not who you asked, but I've recently been experimenting with a Sony A7Rii (I primarily use a Nikon D810 & various f/2.8 pro-grade Nikkor zooms, from 14mm through 400mm). The Sony is really very good; feels good in hand, the sensor and image rendering is great, and the glass (55mm f/1.8 and 16-35mm f/4) are also very high quality. They also seem quite solid. The thing where the camera still misses a bit - for me - is in the ergonomics. The D810 has all the right buttons, dials, and switches, so I rarely need to go into a menu for things that change frequently. I find the Sony to be not quite there yet. They do seem to be evolving a lot quicker than the traditional DSLR makers.
- StavrosK 11y agoLet's hope Canon and Nikon get some competition. They seem to be avoiding adding easy software features so they can add them to later models. Digital cameras still don't have detailed intervalometers (or even a timer that goes over 30 seconds)? Why don't we have burst modes that can average/median multiple images into one so we get fake long exposures? I can find tens of features I could very easily code, and which firmwares like Magic Lantern have, but that Canon still has not added.
