Sony A7 III Used Guide book?

[steveparry]

I was hoping to find a used guide book in the UK as new ones are so expensive. As this has been out since 2018 there must be many people with an old one that's unused? Would a guide book for the A7Riii be worthwhile? I ask because it seems almost identical apart from the larger sensor.

One difference between the two variants is that the R version does not have scene selection mode (SCN) on the control dial so it is not described in my David Busch guide for it (which I found useful). You can, of course, find explanations of this using your favourite search engine.

I have and there are some useful resources indeed. However, I don't need the BEST lenses etc; ie Sony's most expensive versions of everything. I expect I'll look for either Tamron or Sigma zooms as the difference in quality of output would be relatively small. I did also found Mark Galer's videos on YTube an excellent intro. I've just signed up (for one month only) to his Patreon channel in order to d/l his ebooks and watch the many hours of videos.

Mark has some good stuff but I think his use of aperture priority for wildlife is no good.

Dustin Abbott has good reviews on more budget lenses
