A9ii

I see that there is quite a lot of news on the internet about the A9ii due for release in Nov.

The previews / comments about the new camera strongly indicate that there is not a great deal of difference in the shooting capability with the weight of the changes being the ability to transfer files from camera to other devices.

There are apparently changes to the weather sealing and grip as well as mechanical shutter.

I was lucky enough to purchase my A9 for £2k with part exchange of unused Nikon lenses (A1 series) so very happy with the deal!  I love the camera and as I no longer work as a professional I do not need to update it especially since firmware V 6.0 release and it more than meets all my requirements so no intention / need to update it.

Sony has come a very long way in the past couple of years and offers a viable alternative to the tried and tested top 2 DSLR top of the range models and there appears to be a slow but consistent change to Sony in the sports arena.

    • I'd opt for a small zoom, but I must admit that there seems to be a dearth of lenses in the e-mount in the 24-50mm range -- for some reason.  I have a small 24-70mm, but that's an a-mount Tamron.  Maybe you can find something by looking at lenses slightly longer.  I have a heavy, but small 24-100mm a-mount, and Tokina made a 24-200mm a-mount.  Maybe there are similar lenses in the e-mount.  Kill three birds with one stone.
    • Well this! Thank you! I have been following suggestion after suggestion for the past 3 hours with my a7CR and never thought of removing the battery. Magic!
    • 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.
