I sold off all my Canon gear and was about to pull the trigger on the A7II when rumors about the supposedly imminent release of A7RII/A9 started circulating. Should one expect a significant price drop of the A7II when that happens? Because if so, I'll wait a bit longer... Does anyone have a qualified guess? What usually happens when Sony release new models?

In my Sony experience (going back to their acquisition of Konica-Minolta camera tech) there won't be any price drops from Sony. However, there will likely be lots of used a7ii's available on the market as some owners migrate to the new tech. Btw, I currently own the a7ii as well as the a6000. Sony's best prices are generally to be had during the Christmas season. For example, last year I bought the a77ii and vertical grip for the price of the body only. I used it for a few months and sold the combo for more than I paid for it!

The three A7 models never seemed to affect each other's prices. The a7ii got a price drop 1-2 months ago.

Can't get a sweeter deal than that!

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By bs.shoots · Posted

      I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.

      Sony a6300 after shutter repair

      By dev001 · Posted

      Hi, I have got a6300 which shutter stopped working. I managed to change shutter but unfortunatelly broke shutter motor tape but I fixed that. After repair the shutter is working but not in a proper way, watch with sound. I bought the second shutter and tried to test it before dissaembling again and it doesn't react to magnet but it works fine when I apply 3V. Are there different type of shutter for a6000 - a6400? Back to the question what is wrong with my shutter after first repair? I don't want to put next shutter unfoundedly. Do your sony cameras perform such a self-check after start up?  IMG_5579 (1).webm
