If Sony is reading this - A 30 MP, 15fps APS-C body in the shape & form factor of A9 /A7 series (and not a6000 series) and a 600mm/f5.6 lens in a medium-high budget range would be an ideal Christmas dream deal for many of us.

I believe it will sweep the market very well.

Any thoughts ?

or

Means of sending this wishful request officially to Sony ? ??

If your Santa has deep pockets: ask him to buy you an A7Riv and put it in crop mode. Gets pretty close to your desired specs, with the added versatility that it can even shoot fullframe if you so desire ?

      Bokeh?

      By Cameratose · Posted

      Shooting a cactus flower is probably where you do want to have nice bokeh. I can't recall which camera you're shooting, or maybe you haven't said, but using live view you can see what the shot will look like before you press the button. Try setting up on a flower or something stationary where you can control the background and see the changes different settings make.

      Bokeh?

      That's what I got from your post here: When shooting at f/11, bokeh is indeed not something you should be concerned with, unless when shooting closeup. Nearly all lenses have a polygonal iris shape at f/11 which naturally gives a more edgy rendering of out of focus areas. @Cameratose's example is perfect for demonstrating the relevance of bokeh. To some extent you can influence the backdrop of a shot, but if it is busy foliage relatively close by, it'd better not be distracting from your subject. Some lenses are able to create a more pleasing background than others, even at the same aperture setting and focal length. For the impact of the entire image one might even argue that the smoothness of the background is as relevant as the sharpness of the subject.

      Like Cameratose, I usually go for as much depth of field as I can, but sometimes there is no getting around out of focus areas, such as a closeup of a cactus flower.  I guess, everything else being equal, I might be concerned about a lenses bokeh, but everything else is seldom equal.  At this point in my photography I think I have bigger problems than unattractive bokeh.
