With grip, handling will be better, esp if you have big hands...... but of course the overall size will "grow"..... like a mini DSLR.... but I dont mind....

Sony at 313 has a demo set with grip . U might want to drop by to have a real feel of it
 

kns..... I use A7S the amount of "sharp" photo I get is less than the A6000..... need to brush up on my kung fu..... and probably APSC more forgiving with lousy skill... :dunno::embrass:

Hi bro,

If you used to Oly m4/3 it has IBIS with 5-axis so it's very stable. May I know what lens you using? If you using MF lenses and on A-Mode typically at low light the cam will set shutter speed at 1/60 I can still shoot using 50mm at his shutter but my pic will be prone to both shake and motion blurring. Even if you using FE lenses like FE55/1.8 and FE35/2.8 both has no optical stabilization.

Try shooting 1/160 for typical Amal lenses like 50mm or 60/80 for tele try faster shutter speed. Tks

No bro not your skill :-) you just need to get used to how the cam normally would auto preset for you and etc. I think fE24-70 should be ok as it has optical stabilizer the two other FE has no stabilization. Give it some time for you to get used to no IBIS hehe

Same for me when I move from Sony A77 and A55 to NEX7 and A7r, took me some time to adjust hehe. There are times I really wish A7 series has IBIS :-)

My typical indoor setting is S-Mode with either 1/160 or 1/200 and ISO set to auto and range I set is 100-12800. This way I don't need to worry about shutter speed the A7 series for small print are good until ISO8000-12800 for my taste.

For outdoor and sunny I set to A-mode and Auto ISO :-)

Haaa thank bro... yap will need time to understand the camera.... for me, indoor I will use flash, iso 100 or 200, 1/200 or so... aperture f2.8. to f5 like that... depending on lens... maybe should try out auto iso...
