Hello fellow photographers,

I am a amateur wildlife photographer. I am interested to switch from Canon to Sony.
I am having some problems making the dissicion which camera i should buy. I am going for the Sony 200-600 lens but do not know what camera I should use with it. The a6400 and a6600 have the new autofocus system, but are very small and miss some important features for me. But the Sony A7R IV is to expensive for me. Here is my question: Did the Sony A7 III get the same new autofocus system as the a6xxx and the A7R IV in the most resent firmware update. 

I would be very happy if someone could help me out choosing the correct camera for my needs.

 

Kind Regards,

Tim

Hi Tim,

As far as I know the both a quite similar. Both feature eye autofocus for humans and animals, but only the a6600 has eye autofocus in video mode. The a7iii on the other hand has more focus points, covering a little more of the screen.

Main difference to decide on is the crop factor, which has its advantages and disadvantages...

Hi Tim, 

      Best bet for wildlife photography is the a6400. I shoot mostly Birds.. birds on perch has a very good resolution in a6400  with 200 600mm. Birds in Flight can be use to but quite challenging and must have some skillful technique, but if you made good focus, the resolution is great.. I mostly use the a9 in birds in flight for great percentage of autofocus..

      Looking for an a7R mk I, (second generation)

      By NewSonyUsER · Posted

      I'd really like to find a package deal for an a7R (mk I, second generation) which includes the neckstrap and box. I've searched Ebay and currently no one is listing what I'm looking for. They either have the camera only or a first generation a7R and a lot of them don't offer the Sony neckstrap or box it came in. I know your site doesn't have a formal 'Equipment For Sale' thread and granted Ebay is a better place to sell gear but I thought I'd see if any of the members have one and would like to upgrade to a newer model but don't think anyone would be looking for one that old. The cameras I've been using are in the 20 megapixel range and rather than jumping to a 40mp camera due to file size, the 36mp that the first a7R has was appealing to me and wouldn't break the bank. I've been using Canon and Nikon but really want experience a Sony. If a post like this is undesirable for this website, I understand but I thought I would ask. Thank you.

      Any A7R iv A issues with 200-600 zoom?

      By SonyFF32137 · Posted

      Here's a good thread on the issue.... https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4571046 And here is the info on the A7RIVA that maybe explains why I don't see the issue...  The change in wording that caught my attention is that the new A7RIVA brochure says the structure has been "re-examined and redesigned." Don't know, but given the text of other parts of the brochures are copied word for word, the change in text here seems significant. My reading of this is that it is a redesign of the A7RIV. In that case, perhaps the 200-600 issues are less severe with the new body.

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By XKAES · Posted

      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.
