Keep my a6000 or go for a7 III?

In need of some advice. I currently own an a6000 with a speedbooster that allows me to use Canon EF on my Sony. I currently use a canon 35 f2 and the 50 f1.8. I’m in college and work part time but want to start shooting senior portraits, events, and selling prints to make a few bucks here and there. But I mostly post to Instagram right now. I have no problem shooting in full manual mode with manual focus lenses on my a6000.

 

But with the announcement of the new A7 III I’m wondering if it’s worth it for me to invest in a serious performing full frame body. I’ve always wanted the A7R2. But I’ve heard the a7 III is extremely good. The only thing that’s holding me back is the price for Sony glass. I have roughly $2500 to spend on a new body and glass at the moment. Not really much more than that.

 

I guess I’m asking will it make a massive difference on the quality of my images if I invest in the a7 III with a kit lens? Or should I wait and save up until I can afford a nice lens like a GM series. I need advice on where to go from here before I buy another used canon lens and adapt it to my a6000.

 

Thanks

      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.
