Should I Keep My Canon R8 or Switch to the Sony A7S III? Howdy everyone, I’ve been using a Canon R8 with a 24-240mm lens mostly for photography, and while I’ve enjoyed it, a friend recently offered me their Sony A7S III with a 24-105mm lens for $1,600. It’s in great condition, and the A7S III’s reputation for video makes this really tempting. Here’s where I’m at: • I *don’t do much video right now*, b…

More creative options with a super cle…

Used Sony a7R IV should knows? Hello I have the opportunity to buy a used A7R IV for $1600 which seems like a great price. The seller is the original owner and bought it in 2019.
