The A9 for the AF with birds, and it's proved to be good for BIF and unreliable for small perched birds.
The A7R III is just as bad.I was just congratulating myself on some nice perched bird photos with the A9 (+ 200-600mm). Can you expand on "unreliable"? Thanks.
I've never had any problems with the A9, which is just about the perfect camera as far as I can see, EXCEPT that it doesn't have as many pixels as the A7Riv, which is really the only reason I have the latter. But I have had occasional focus failures with the A7Riv, and do not get the same proportion of keepers for moving subjects, including BIF.The A7R III is just as bad.

A9 focus fails
The first time I took the camera out I noticed that locks were often hard to come by with small birds. Nothing would get focus. Some settings experiments and a firmware update later and I'm not seeing any improvement. The bird can be in mid ground with little around to confuse the AF or it...www.talkemount.com
same here...A6400 and size was also a factor....plus the fact with an adpater I can use all the Nikon glass I haveGot the A6400 because of the advanced AF, the image quality, the APS-C format makes for great travel camera, and I couldn't afford a full frame anyways
Me too, I traded in my Canon gear for the A6400/18-135mm bundle. Love the light weight and vibrant colors. However, I am struggling with the AF. Anyway to move the focus box? It always seems to be lower far left or right. Thx!Me too, I opted for the Sony A6500, APS-C was all I needed, saved enough money to buy an $890.00 lens. I couldn't afford a full frame anyway.
Do you use any of your Pentax lenses on the Sony? There's a new af adapter that works with screw drive Pentax lenses but it's still in Beta. I'm interested in trying it with my A7rII.I've upgraded to the AR7iv from my R100v and Pentax K3-ii (although they both are great cameras and they can be very handy) but I'm looking to produce large exhibition prints, and the ability to crop from the max full frame was certainly attractive. I was also looking for better AF capabilities and colour rendition. So far I've been shooting on full manual and love the results.
As the title says, with a good range of varying Sony models available what made you pick the model you own.
Personally I have the A99ii the last A mount by the looks of it.
At the time of buying it there was nothing else on the market like it and having lots of A mount glass it was a no brained.
One day I'll change to E mount but I'm still happy with my choice so changing to E mount won't be happening any time soon
I have 3. The A6000, A7iii and A7Riii. The A6000 is super portable and takes excellent images. The A7iii is my day to day camera and love the dynamic range. The A7Riii is 41 mp which is great for cropping when shooting birds or anything in the distanceAs the title says, with a good range of varying Sony models available what made you pick the model you own.

I had a Nex-6 and it was time to update. Thought I wanted the a7iii. Got to the camera store. Explained what type of photography I enjoyed and how travel was key. Sony rep. recommended the a6600. I picked up both camera bodies and it was a no brainer for me. The a6600 even though it is a ASP-C, was significantly lighter in weight. I don't shoot professionally and have no intentions of printing large photographs so a crop sensor fits my needs. Now when I attach larger lenses, I'm not increasing the weight I hold in my hand as much as if I'd gone with the a7iii. I'm very happy with my decision. It works for me. I might not work for others.As the title says, with a good range of varying Sony models available what made you pick the model you own.

What does GAS stand for?Same here. GAS. Got the A9, then 90mm macro, 24-104 F4, then sigma 35 1.4, then 100-400GM, then 1.4 teleconverter along with tripods, lights and light stand. It’s fun!
Gear Acquisition SyndromeWhat does GAS stand for?
That's a trade-off. When you put the shoot and focus modes on dials you make it easier to change them, but you then can't put them in a memory to recall. I like the dials on the A9, where for most action uses you want them quickly; on the A7Riv it's nice to be able to switch everything just be recalling a memory.Unfortunately not the extra mode dials in the left upper part of the camera body.
