What's the mirrorless camera with the best image quality? Agnostic of manufacturer. I'm using a D800e right now... anything approaching that? And are there lenses in the 20mm/50mm/150mm range that aren't garbage? I haven't checked in on this sort of thing in a while.

The reason I'm looking into other options is weight. I go climbing for days at a time and weight matters. What I carry now, D800e, 21mm Zeiss, 50mm 1.4, 80-200 f/2.8, tripod, together weigh a bit over 11 pounds. With the a7r, 24-70, and 70-200, it drops to 7 pounds and change, and I can make it lighter with a slightly smaller tripod. That's huge. It looks like the lenses for the Sony aren't what I had hoped, however. I read around online, saw some samples, and ran into a local place today to check out the a7r and 24-70 combo. Handles fine, but yeah, that lens, not impressed. Workable, since I don't use the corners, but not ideal. My question becomes: Is there anything else I can consider? Or on the horizon? Otherwise, I'll be picking up the 70-200 f/4 to replace my 80-200 and just dealing with it as I have.

The Sony a6000 actually seems pretty sweet. Price is a little easier to swallow, too. It's even smaller and lighter... and the lenses don't seem to suck? I mean, I could certainly live with that and do more stitching to get larger images if I end up thinking I really need it.

Who the gently caress thinks cameras are only supposed to produce something "true" to a scene? Don't ever read about cinematography or really photography at all beyond instruction manuals and MTF diagrams

Hello old friends. I don't have any camera gear anymore, save a Canon G7 Mark II for backpacking. I like it. If I were going to buy a mirrorless anything, with say a normal and a telephoto lens, is the Nikon Z7 the thing to do? I heard about some banding issues? I don't care much for anything beyond image quality and weight. It's been a minute since I looked at camera gear intensely, so just looking for some broad strokes.

Does Sigma make actual good lenses now? My last experience with them was ~15 years ago, and they just weren't up to snuff with a comparable Canon/Nikon fast lens.

i suppose this post belong in the catch-all mirrorless thread, not a nikon or sony one i am weighing a sony a7RIII vs. a nikon Z7. I'm going to be pairing that body with a couple sharp primes; zeiss loxias if sony, nikon S lenses for Z7 (i guess??) ...i shot nikon for years, and prefer the feel of the Z7 and its top LCD. the technical aspects of the Z-mount seem solid. i'm a hesitant about the way nikon is controlling access though. the lenses available right now seem... good enough, i suppose. but the future is concerning. the sony seems the more economical. I know what I'm getting with those lenses, and no worries about the future. the sony has a few little technical things that are appealing (the HLG mode for exposure, the pixel-shift exposure, flawed though it is on that body) video/autofocus mean nothing to me ...any thoughts? Or maybe i'm being too myopic and there's something else i should consider (FF, superb image quality, mirrorless)

Does there exist some sort of viewfinder magnifier for the a7RIV? Or something like that? All I can find are viewfinders that use the fold out screen, or giant rubber eyecups. I wear glasses and even if I remove the rubber eye up to get my lenses as close as possible to the viewfinder, I still can’t quite see the whole thing. Any suggestions or leads?

The prescription is not the problem. Because of my lenses, my eyes are always too far away from the viewfinder, so I can never quite see all of it This must be a common problem, but I don’t see any solution to it

the nikon Z series cameras are nicer to use, i think, than sonys. if lens selection were better, i'd have nikon their future prospects are a little worrying, though Ihmemies posted:My Panasonic S1 has a large and smaller viewfinder image. You can switch between them. It wastes a portion of the viewfinder area and displays only black borders instead of utilizing the whole viewfinder area. That way eyeglass users can see the whole viewfinder.

a phone will never match a dedicated camera because a proper camera allows you to make decisions about photos that are otherwise left to chance with a phone (that WB example above is one good example of many) unless you use an app on the phone that lets you make those decisions try a fancy phone camera app before dropping serious coin on a camera

i've used it on an A7riv, but the longest lens has been 200mm. works really well, only has a problem in very low light AND poor contrast simultaneously. cats and birds, so far. i've heard about the 200-400's AF sometimes having issues on anything other than bodies from the newest couple generations.

bodies like the a7riv already are what we would have considered MF quality five years ago or so i get it, the larger sensor and 100MP along with the qualities of a MF lens are great. But if you're just after the resolution... i don't think the money is worth it. unless you're making prints the size of a wall. they're niche tools now, for photos that are going to see use in huge ads. i looked well into it when comparing the sony a7riv and nikon z7ii. it just wasn't worth it. i came to that conclusion before you even factor in lens cost.

Have an of you had luck tricking the tap-in console to update a grey market lens? Can I use a VPN to trick it into thinking I'm in some other nation and have it update or should I just sell them with my D810 and warn the buyer? Hold up, does Nikon require you to use lenses and bodies from the same market??? lmao

Low-end anything is a dying market. Phones do a ‘good enough’ job. Most consumers with enough money to be able to act on a desire to get a camera better than a phone have enough to buy something ‘mid-range’ or better and marketing is happy to reinforce that consumer’s notion of ‘more money=better than’
