p.77 #4 · Pre-orders open! Sony A7R III and FE 24-105mm f/4 OSS lens!
Greetings.
Happy to say I got my R3 Friday the 24. (much to my surprise). Unfortunately I haven't had much time to play with it as I was rather busy this weekend and it gets really early dark here in Norway during winter. Good thing is that every change is for the better, except I think they have done what should have been next to impossible and actually made menus even more messy and painful to use. Not too worried about that, because if you invest the time and set up the custom menu properly that should take care of all your needs. Grip was much nicer, the auto switch to viewfinder is less eager, but still a bit too sensitive. Anyway, I think Sony have got a winner on their hands here.

BH is still saying shipping will begin on Nov. 30, at least on my order. I ordered first day so it looks like BH is playing by the rules for the most part at the moment.
That's pretty much what B&H told me in Chat today. I guess I'll rent A7RII for the trip instead.

This is going to be a long week waiting. Anyone here in the states credit card get charged yet. Curious as to when they are shipping. I see no news on the 24-105 at all shipping either

You guys are waiting with bated breath..... . It will be coming alright and the more anxious you get, the longer it feels; just relax. True, it is easy for me to say and do that this time around

Yep, and I wouldn't have even cared if I wasn't leaving on a photography trip on December 1st

Yeah, but maybe you guys got the better deal after all. I have a store here that has the a7rIII in stock, but I don’t have the money!
Which reminds of a classic Homer Simpson: “I have 3 kids and no money. Why can’t I have 3 money and no kids!”

I’m good with this . So the marketing was true. I’m shocked . Lol
No, the quarter of a stop increase, which is what Bill measured was exaggerated by the marketing. They claimed much more. Hey and quarter of a stop is not something I would reject, but let's keep it in perspective--that is a very small increase and all below ISO 640.

What kind of LCD screen protectors are you guys buying for the MkIII? Want to have one waiting here when the camera arrives. Maybe two in case I mess up putting the first one on.
Are you going to remove the factory screen protector first, or just double up on the protectors?
