>>3283042I posted this in another thread. Don't get me wrong, I like what I see, but it's not perfect.
>average size of lenses and the small grip compared to the lenses looks like really bad ergonomicsIt looks like with how shallow the grip is and how close it is to the lens mount, with one of the fatter lenses mounted, there won't be enough space for my fingers. With how big most of the lenses are, it seems like it would be hard to count on holding this camera with just one hand.
>cost of buying inThe $1999 price point of the a7iii body is attractive, especially for the feature set. That is a great, market-affecting price. The a7rii price has already matched it at $1999. However, the nice lenses are still more expensive than equivalent Canon L lenses, especially given the huge used market for Canon L glass compared to the relatively new Sony lenses, and the Canon lenses are a known quantity whereas I hear complaints about Sony sample variation pretty often. Nikon lenses are also less expensive and more available used, on average, than Sony lenses, although they also suffer from sample variation.
>no top LCD The Fujifilm X-H1 and Panasonic G9 have proved that there's plenty of space on top of a mirrorless camera for one. Without an aperture ring or analog dials, like Fuji uses on most of their cameras, it's necessary to power on the rear LCD or look in the viewfinder to check your settings, which drains precious power.
>seemingly not enough dedicated customizable buttons, and no front-of-camera function buttonsThere are certain things I need to be able to change without a menu dive, and I wonder if there are enough assignable spots on the camera. I wish I could find a list of possible assignable functions, to know for sure.
If you just want to buy into full frame, you can get a used Canon 5DII or 6D for well under a grand, and Nikon's high megapixel D800E is also coming down into the $1000 used price point. Lots of reasons to go DSLR over mirrorless.
