Realworld Review
Great camera. Just used it for a photoshoot and the next day for a coorporate conference video. It allowed me to do a full 2 hour shoot without stopping. I could have easily done 3 to 3 1/2 with a battery grip. I was shooting inside but also at 4K 30. Better than expected performance and it was nice to match my other Sony A7R III vs mixing with 5D IV and having to deal with the Canon codec. I used the MC-11 and 100-400 with 35 crop to extend to 500. With stage lighting I was able to shoot at 125 ISO, 60fps, 7.1 manual focus due to non-native glass. I would love to see this in video with native glass but I have yet to get longer lenses for the Sony platform.
File sizes are HUGE for photos. Why can't sony provide a smaller option. I would be okay with it buffering longer to shoot at 24 or 30 mp when shooting real estate but 120 uncompressed and 60 compressed is a pain. I have to use a different body. Tired of rolling through Terabytes of data every month. I know, this can be solved by me deleting files but I hate deleting source files.
