  1. Thank you pm-r! Yes, I tend not to shoot anything with speakers or where audio is the primary focus. I do have some Rode mics but because I'm doing such a fast paced hybrid thing, i've found that I skip adding the mic's altogether now. I need to start consciously adding those back in again. I like the size of the one you posted as well. Another reason I was thinking of a dedicated video camera so the mic would always be on it. But, I can see where I could set up the a74 or a7r5 as a dedicated video camera and then use it as a backup to my other stills camera when needed. Thanks for the insights. Regarding the a7sIII, I always forget about that one. I think probably because of the 12 MP but if it was dedicated for video that wouldn't be much of an issue. Still hard to keep all the pros and cons of each straight!
  2. I've decided I want to focus more on video in the future. I was originally looking at the fx3 and fx30 to have more of a dedicated video camera separate from my photo work – i find that i tend to mess things up when I try to switch back and forth between photo/video on my current cameras. I've been reading a lot about the a7Rv, though and it seems to have some video improvements over the fx cameras with stabilization and some other things that now I can't remember. Would it make sense to use that primarily for video? I love astro photography as well and so some of it's other features related to focusing seem pretty intriguing. Primarily I shoot for travel/hotels and for adventure type races. I haven't completely ruled out the a1 but the price is definitely getting in my way of committing. Is there anything I'm not seeing that I should be taking into consideration when upgrading? I currently have a beat up a7r3, a good a7r4 (but that has never been my favorite) and an a74. I will be trying to sell 2 of them to move forward. Should I also be considering the a7s3??? Thanks for any insight!
