Hey, I wanted to jump on the Sony bandwagon until Sony owners, again many of which where from here, told me to stay the hell away. Many photographers lost entire weddings because of their beloved A7R (Mark I or Mark II). Shutters getting stuck in wind or cold weather. I'll try to find the link from a photographer on here about that. The point I am making is until Sony has a track proven record like Nikon and Canon, its nothing more than a risk. As for evidence, try google, it's quite easy. Sony comes into the game and calls their systems better. Well, I agree and disagree. I agree that the A7Rs are endlessly better than anything Canon makes. Better image quality, DR, video and so on. But, this all means zero when they you cross your fingers in hopes it turns on. That's my point, not that its less of a camera or doesn't produce stunning images or video. It was just stunning to see how plagued their cameras have been...Show more →
Just like anything else on the internet, people more often post the bad experiences than the good. In the case of me, I've been shooting a7 bodies professionally (portraits, events, weddings) since the original a7r was originally released...so basically 4 years now. It's taken sometime for the system to mature, but in terms of reliability, the only mechanical issue I've had was a broken rear LCD and SD card port on my original a7r when it slipped off a black rapid strap onto a tile floor. Outside of that, under the normal abuse that a camera gets shooting events, I've never had an issue with the various sony bodies I've owned.
