remind me, if I am not on a budget... why'd I really buy A7RIII and not A9 ?
As far as I am concerned I feel that my D850 and lenses are superior to anything Sony currently offers except in terms of compactness.
This is why the a7III is appealing. It’s the cheapest way to get the compactness without sacrifying too much in terms of performance compared to my Nikon current set up.
I would pair it with the best compact lens there is and that is the Batis line. I still want the images I shoot with it to be of high quality.
When/if I am convinced at some point of time that Sony is ahead in absolute performance, then I'll sell my Nikon equipment and invest into the best Sony will have to offer at that time. With the current trends, that should happen in a year from now unless Nikon moves their ass big time.
Cheers,
Bernard
