Compared to the A7RII, it focuses faster, shoots faster, turns on faster, reviews faster, writes faster, has (mostly) better UI and controls, better sealing, MUCH better battery life. I agree none of these things should increase the cost by 2x, but people who think the A7RII is God are deluded. I bought one with my own money and have been shooting it for the last three months: it still feels like a beta exercise."
It feels like a beta exercise since day one of the Nex series. PPl who use those camera and say "ho !! ha!! this is the best !! ho!! ha!!" just crack me up. Those ppl never used a Nikon D700/800/3/3s/4/4s (or canon counterparts) . Just because of the UI, the whole mirror-less Sony venture stay and will stay a joke compared to a pro Nikon menu and ergonomic. Some ppl cry out loud when someone say those Sony gear are "toys" but hey !! They are toys, expensive toys, who feel and act like toys, with miserable user experience.
When you see supposedly very good and respected photographers endorsing and saying that Sony is the pinnacle in photography ... I just want to go AFK walking and forgetting.
For me, the more the fact of "taking a photography" is easy, the less is the pleasure of photography. Ofc there is a threshold but I do not know yet any ppl who get personal satisfaction / achievement out of easy work.
The ones who stand straight in their boots saying me the contrary are just a bunch of lazy potatoes or weak jerky hipsters.
