>>4222864Aside from stills resolution, it is very low spec'd for that price.
>You are paying $3k for 62mp and on-camera AI subject recognition and tracking. Every camera has claimed "on-camera AI subject recognition and tracking" for generations now. AF is a solved problem, and it's not going to AF better than anything made in the past 4-5 years despite marketing claims. This hardly justifies the price.
>The next best cameras are either thousands more expensive for a slight upgrade in the same direction (A7RV) or thousands more expensive to turn right around and prioritize other things (Canon R5, Sony A1). All of which shoot faster, have two card slots, have better EVF/screen, better video, mech shutters...the fuck is the point of this thing at $3k?
>and in the same price bracket as the R6 II which has inferior stills resolution to achieve superior video.$500 cheaper for way better video, way faster shooting, better EVF/screen, two card slots, mech shutter, and "on-camera AI subject recognition and tracking."
>All in all its a pretty solid release It is under spec'd in everything except MP. Who is it for? If you are a stills shooter looking for high resolution FF imaging, you can get that cheap with a 5Ds/sR or D800/810/850 or older A7R. Landscapes don't need muh AI tracking. For that matter at $3k you are in R5 and Z7 territory if you want mirrorless bells and whistles. You can save up a little more for new, or just buy used or refurbished. Same for an older A7R model.
>you have to pick and choose. Video or stills.Canon R5 refurbished for $300 more (or dead even during sales). Video, stills, shooting speed, EVF, screen, two card slots, mech shutter...
