However, I have never enjoyed Sony. I hate the menus, dont love the design, and really question the durability.
Durability is the question but I have been told that was before they transferred their manufacturing to Thailand lately. We are not sure but my brother, as GASsed as he is, had been buying Sony A7*s from 2015 to 2020 and he had many sort of recalls/under warranty repairs for this A7Rs, A7 IIs and A7 IIIs. Some of the repairs are like flanges breaking, shutter leaves exploding, etc. He is properly meticulous in taking care of his cameras/gear so there came a time he questioned himself what he was doing wrong. He is using a tank in the form of the Pentax K-1 now for his landscape and nature photography.
I was truly surprised by the camera repairs as I am a fan of Sony gadgets because they can be handed over to next generations, in my experience. I have gadgets from the 70's, 80's and 90's that are still with me and are working perfectly.
my work cameras are the same ones I use for fun. I might keep an Olympus kit for that. Haven’t decided yet.
Oh I see. I was thinking GAS initially but I agree, cost/expenses can be tricky when a single camera is used for work as well.
Since the E-M1.3 can handle what you need for your work, are you considering getting MFT's tiny, tiny, tiny offerings for personal use?
I totally agree about Sony UI sucking, but my experience is dated. I have read it's been improved.
There is a newer gen version of their firmware which is much easier to use. I don't really worry much about menus though as I always have the user manual with me whenever I am trying to learn a new UI/system.
To relieve the anxiety, do what I’ve done; buy into ALL the systems. Nomore “fear of missing out” lol
That was what my brother did. He bought ALL top-of-the-line FF models from Canikony + Pentax and then APSC from Canikony, Pentax and Fujifilm. He ended up with Pentaxes and X-Pros.
He has calmed down now. He would usually ask me for help in calming him down whenever he finds himself under the influence of GAS.
Now he just started looking into MFT for portability, IBIS, etc. I will be receiving a call from him later today or tomorrow.
