I just got an email from B&H that my A7C with lens has shipped! I should have it tomorrow, Friday the latest. Very psyched! I have never pre-ordered a camera body before--I have always wanted to wait for the shake out and early reviews. But I am quite excited about this camera.
I dont think you will be disappointed - got mine yesterday - few jpgs in FE thread. Its a nice little package.
Nice pics! What is your impression of the kit zoom, especially in comparison to the Contax G45 that you were also shooting?
Thanks Chiron
And ggweci and nehemiahphoto
The viewfinder does not really bug me, and I am getting on and wear specs, it is noticeable yes but TBH I found the pop up on the RX1R2 more fiddly despite more magnification. I tend to use centre/small mostly for focus so am concentrating mostly on that part anyway which possibly plays in my favour. I havent used the tracking but playing with it it seems pretty good - so another helpful aspect.
Kit lens - it has piddled with rain here since I got this camera and still forecast for a few days, but so far I am glad I got it because together with the body I think it is a bargain ( I read it might cost much more when released on its own - but not sure on that obviously) It complements the body very well and the rather hurried shots I have taken have certainly looked OK to me - but I am no expert.
I do want to try it more in concert with my little Contax lenses and 40 Summicron - and I will try it on my RIII too - no doubt someone here will pop it on and RIV soon then we will really see!
Overall I am happy with both so far - knowing there would be some compromises here. It is a very easily portable little package - which was the inteent I guess.
Congrats with yours and hope you enjoy it.
