It's a desperate attempt by Nikon to catch up to Sony. But, they have a long way to go. I love my A7RIII. John

I've completely gone over to Sony after using Nikon since the 70s. I have the A7RIII. It is an incredible camera. John

Sure I considered it. But, I don't have the energy any longer to climb. I'm still dealing with the after affects of Lyme disease. John

Nice shot John

I was hanging from a cliff to get this shot and holding the camera as low as possible to see through the bushes. There was only a small opening in the bushes. No processing done. John

I'm a convert from Nikon so I'm not used to the Sony A7RIII. My thumb keeps accidentally touching the exposure compensation dial and messing up my exposure. Is there a way to disable the exposure compensation dial? John

It was finally sunny at my home in Northport after many days of rain and clouds. I traveled to a lake to photograph it with my new 16-35 mm FE lens at 16 mm. When I got there, it was cloudy. I took the shot anyway. (Sony A7RIII, 16-35 mm FE lens at 16 mm, f/8, 1/640 sec, ISO 100) John
