I rather go for the new version as the features are better. But I don't like to sell even hardly use, so, need to buy wisely also. Now my 135mm might be sitting duck since I am getting the RX10 mk4, as I will be having a lot of tele range.

Budget conscious buyer will consider price/performance...if $ is not an issue, then buy the latest model.

I got a little excited over the pixel shift thingy but read this. It's a major disapointment that they can't package the files in-camera. This is an important feature which could differentiate image quality between the II and III but the impplementation is half-cooked. Sony, what the hell were you thinking?

However, unlike the system Pentax uses or the earlier, 8-shot process used by Olympus, the a7R III cannot assemble the final images in-camera. Instead four Raw files must be processed using a freely downloadable image processing application for PCs that Sony will offer. The camera must also wait between 1 and 30 seconds between shots for the sensor to settle, which is likely to exacerbate the problems of subject movement between the first and last shot.

The other improvement I look forward to are the better battery life and dual card slots but frankly, these might not be enough to justify buying the III for me.

Probably wanna make you buy one of their crappy apps down the road... Just like their poorly implemented half-baked in-camera timelapse...

Nevermind about poorly implemented apps. The idea of asking customers to pay more for features available in other cameras is ridiculous!

Completely agree, in a 3-4 grand camera, no less. Still wanna nickel and dime us. The fact that customers pay more and get poorly implemented apps is just an extra kick in the nuts. If I paid and got something on-par with what's available in other cameras, I'm still willing to tolerate that first kick :bsmilie:

i'm into the R3 for the 10FPS mechanical shutter with flash sync, 15 stop DR, better battery life. 10fps in electronic silent shutter sounds good too even if not as good as the a9 one. Dual slots also a good update

I'm sure the speed department is enticing for many but that is not beneficial to my work. At the moment, I see money better spent on more glasses than the III.

Was waiting for the D850 to be in stock....

This looks like really good. The extra stop of dr, double the battery life, improved af looks pretty good

No apps support, those who used to it can kiss it goodbye if getting the camera ;p

I think they probably got too many complaints about the apps :bsmilie:

Adorama is an independent retailer. Providing trade-in is their own business decision. Why should Sony do the same?
