Hi Franciscus, new sub here. Just came across while searching spotted pardalot birding in sydney area. I got lucky yesterday while visiting Garigal N. Park. Although my pictures not as clean as your my main purpose for bird photography is for ID. (short term memory)...lol. Thanks for sharing. I will following you on your Australian bird photography.

I'm deciding between this and the a7r3 for birding. The former has great AF while the latter can help with reach via cropping. What would you pick?
@FranciscusScheelings
@FranciscusScheelings Месяц назад
I've never used the A7T3 so can't comment on what it is like. However both of these cameras are quite old now and I'd be looking more towards something like the A7IV if you can afford it because in this model you get bird/animal eye detect which is a huge bonus.

Yes mabye the A1 is better, but the price. The same the lens, when you bay the prime 600 is better but i will not pay 11 k euro. For a hobby will i update the A7R3. The have not focus on eye off birds and faster systeem for a good price. Now i have the A6600 for backup for holyday.

What I missed a great deal with testing the a7R5 (compared to my a9) was the missing capability of a shutter sound in electronic shutter mode. It’s just not present there, is this the same with the a7IV?
@FranciscusScheelings
@FranciscusScheelings 4 месяца назад
Yes there is a shutter sound on the A7IV. Are you sure there isn't one on the A7RV I'd be surprised? I've never used one so can't be sure.

I saw one of them up close & personal a while ago. There was a flock of silvereyes picking aphids off my roses, so I went outside to have a look. There was a tiny little brown / white / black spotty bird sitting there right in front of me. It was so minute, perfect & full of itself. We looked into each other's eyes for a minute & it darted off with its silvereye friends. A magic moment. Then I had to look it up. I'd heard about pardalotes, but never seen one. You live & learn, I guess.
