Sony Final Thoughts
"No issues here!"It's not great but it will get you started for sure. Sony mirrorless system has been advancing rapidly. Switching back and forth between photo and video is cumbersome. In practice, the Sony produces superlative images. I've only touched in certain points there's so much more.

Sony ILCE7M3/B Final Thoughts
"I bought this bad boy."In spite of all the motion on my end, the pictures were sharp. Great camera and bundle from this deal. I works flawlessly with my Sony lenses. So, when Sony ILCE7M3/B came, I purchased it immediately. So having a backup battery is what I would consider a must.

Sony ILCE7M2K/B Final Thoughts
"I am not disappointed."Higher ISO produces very usable images, even at ISO 12800. I've added some sample photos taken with this camera and a 50mm f1. I chose to shoot most outdoor shots with an aperture of + or - f/5. This really shouldn't stop you from buying this Sony ILCE7M2K/B. The availability of the control dials makes a huge difference.

"Enter the Canon 3075C012."I doubled down and ordered a second body. The availability of the control dials makes a huge difference. The longer you have it, the more small issues you find. The focus speed in general is so much faster and more reliable. But, this fps was rather limited.
