Does anyone have any raw low light portraits shot on a A7R3 they would like to share? I'm still weighing out my options between the A73 and the R3 and would like to see if the R3 handles well enough in low light environment for portraits.

I'm on the verge of purchasing an A7R3 soon and I was wondering if anyone have any low light photos in Raw that they would like to share with me. I'm currently going back and forth between the A73 and the R3. I want the higher MP because I do work in Photoshop but I hear the A73 is significantly better for their low light performance. I'm wondering if I should sacrifice the extra MP for the low light capability. In a perfect world, I would like the high MP and good low light performance since I like to take outdoor portraits of people in the city with a shallow depth of field, and I'm just wondering how the R3 will perform.

I know these photos are edited, but a few examples of what I want to get out of the low light performance.

Generally speaking, the lower the MP the better low-light performance. But even with a 60MP camera I think you can get great results in low light, provided that you use an excellent lens. The new 50mm f1.2 that Sony will release shortly or other good quality 1.2 or 1.4 lens should give incredible results on the a7R4.

My advice would be to visit your local camera store and rent one for a weekend with a 1.2/1.4 lens and try it out. They are expensive, so a test-drive would be beneficial.

Thank you! I'll look more into faster lenses.

    • 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.
    • 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
