Switching to sony A7 (from m4/3)


Full frame in a small package. Just for the size, I'm interested. Can't wait to see more video samples from the A7R.

BTW, please stop the cliché "it's the man behind the camera and not the camera that matters"
Doesn't mean people who keep switching camera system cannot take good pictures. It just happen that they can afford to switch.
Can't one be rich and talented? Not me, I'm poor by the way.

Half agree. Yes there are some talented ones who can afford to keep switching. Unfortunately cameras nowadays are consumer electronics and like handphones, the next model usually has more features etc. But, there are those who think that by buying full frame, my photos will immediately look better. To some extent yes, less noise, more fine detail, better IQ (in some situations), ability to get shallower dof etc. but if this person has not learnt the basics of composition, lighting, rule of thirds etc.. He won't progress or take aesthetically or compositionally exceptional photos, his shots will be just "meh" kind of shots. So talent and skill are more important than the tool. But of course here in Singapore, many people change cameras like changing handphones... Really a gear acquisition syndrome. Good for us of course. More great deals in BnS.
 

Buying camera = expensive hobby
Making photos = passionate past time
Buying and making = rich passionate hobbyist kekeke, just kidding.
Let's all keep buying shooting and smiling! :bsmilie:

You really sound the shooting range safety officer at my shooting club. :bsmilie:

"By going to a larger caliber and buying the best gun possible, these idiots think that the bullets start developing a brain and eyes. Yeah right..."

Same with photography and that is something that I have been preaching here in this community for a long time. Share PHOTOGRAPHY based on the PLATFORM.

And yes, GAS help Olympus and Four Thirds consortium make profits so that they can develop more new toys for us. Nothing wrong with that.

Actually, even if a person keeps buying gear and shoot crappy pictures, if that makes him happy, so be it. He is enjoying photography. No need to judge that person.

And there is this psychologist who once mentioned this at a cocktail party that had everyone in stitches.

"The root to why men loves photography started when they were young. Think about it. Your first time in an elevator. Usually your mom have to threaten to smack you to stop you from pushing those buttons right? Now these boys grow up, and buy a camera to satisfy that need."
 

I am messaging the administrators to see if I can ban you from here just because of your venomous nature. ^_^

where's the Like button?!?!??! :bsmilie:
