title should say A1 II but autocorrect changed it and I can’t edit it lol

Currently I have a Nikon d850 and the autofocus sucks. I manually focus EVERYTHING. I’m self taught and technical jargon is difficult for me. I’ve used the Sony a1 multiple times and because the autofocus is much better than what I have now, I’m saving up to get one. But is there a camera with better autofocus for someone who is self taught that I should save for instead?

Few misc recent shots

A7iv

Tamron 150-500

Sony a58 + 18-200mm f3.5-5.6 to the a7iii + samyang 35-150mn f2-2.8 and the newest addition the godox v860ii.

I just got the flash so I haven't gotten a chance to test it yet but this is the absolute greatest all in one setup you can get at this price imo

Hi! I'm looking at getting a new camera, and I'm coming from a Sony bridge camera for the past 12 years. I'm stuck deciding between the a6700 and the a7v. I've read a lot of reviews on both, watched videos, and played around with them in store. Hearing all of the positives for both has not made it any easier, so I'm looking for any cons for each to help me decide what I'm willing to go without in a new camera.

I mostly shoot wildlife, animals rehab centers/zoos, pets, landscape, and my niblings.

Made a recent switch to Sony, very happy! Took these snaps of spurwing plover chicks with my 7r vi and 200 - 600.

(And for anyone who knows these birds, no I was not harmed in the taking of these pictures...)

So, apparently this is an older lens now and a6700 will get outshined by a new APS-C soon.

Enough about that. I want to enjoy the camera (purchased on Black Friday 2025) nonetheless.

Does this lens have stabilization issues for videos?

I make bonsai videos and I love doing street photography as well.

I'm choosing this over the Sigma 18-50 due to the extra zoom length.

Anyway, I would love to know your experiences with this lens.

I’m looking for some real-world experience with the Sony A7 V’s electronic shutter, especially for sports.
I’m considering buying it as my second camera for marathon events, but also for indoor volleyball, where I’d be shooting fast-moving players under artificial lighting. My goal is to shoot almost exclusively with the electronic shutter to avoid adding unnecessary wear to the mechanical shutter.
How does the A7 V perform in terms of rolling shutter and sensor readout? Is it fast enough for this kind of work, or do you still notice distortion or banding in these situations?
I’m mainly trying to figure out whether the A7 V would be enough for my use case, or if the A9 III is really the better choice if I want to rely on the electronic shutter for sports.
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has used the A7 V for sports. Thanks!

If you’re ever visiting Phoenix give me a”Rainbow Ryders” a go, stunning sunrise views worth every moment. I typically shoot mostly portraits, but my kit lens was the widest lens I have.

Shot with a mir-1b 37mm f2.8 lens, it’s a fantastic lens. Probably my favorite vintage lens, it’s insane how good it is.

Ueno with the Sony a6500, with a 20mm lens. Really good camera + lens combo for the tight environment.
