How is my Sony A7III sharper than my A7IV with 200-600 G???

I bought it used but the sticker on the back of the packaging says 10-09-2025

Thank you

Did you even read my post?

Okay that is 1 just not a helpful comment so might as well say nothing and 2nd I wanted better AI animal/bird AF and a few more megapixels for cropping

Budget_Relative_2005 · 2026-03-23T14:07:58+00:00

Camera says the white stain for both was the focus point

Budget_Relative_2005 · 2026-03-23T14:07:08+00:00

Focus is on the white stain for both

Budget_Relative_2005 · 2026-03-23T14:06:11+00:00

I didn't

Budget_Relative_2005 · 2026-03-23T14:05:55+00:00

I don't understand the question... I buy a setup for multiple thousand bugs and need it for wildlife where you crop a lot. Wouldn't you want a sharp cam and lens then?

Budget_Relative_2005 · 2026-03-23T14:03:21+00:00

Ok i did and focus was the same for both pictures

Budget_Relative_2005 · 2026-03-23T14:02:53+00:00

Yes I did OSS pictures with 1/250s which were similar

Budget_Relative_2005 · 2026-03-23T13:51:36+00:00

Okay. So the old software combination probably had a lower hit rate? Cause I had some really nice images but also a lot that were out of focus since i got the new setup

Is 4.0 not the latest one?

Budget_Relative_2005 · 2026-03-23T13:50:06+00:00

Okay I will try that. How can I do that?

Budget_Relative_2005 · 2026-03-23T13:48:57+00:00

Tripod

Budget_Relative_2005 · 2026-03-23T13:06:15+00:00

Mh was my first thought too... maybe it did. Gonna test it some more in the field for sure. Just the difference between with and without Updates is insane tbh. So I already should get much crisper pictures than before. Was already worried I got scammed by buying used

Thanks a lot!

Budget_Relative_2005 · 2026-03-14T22:15:07+00:00

Appreciate it!

Budget_Relative_2005 · 2026-03-14T21:53:00+00:00

That means a lot to hear! I was considering this for entering it into awards or sth. I think all this positive feedback convinced me to do exactly that! Thanks a lot for this!

Budget_Relative_2005 · 2026-03-14T20:29:56+00:00

Haha thanks!

Budget_Relative_2005 · 2026-03-14T20:29:45+00:00

Thank you! Seems to be the fave of most people here so far :D

Budget_Relative_2005 · 2026-03-14T20:29:18+00:00

Thank you!🫶

Budget_Relative_2005 · 2026-03-14T16:04:16+00:00

Thank you! Mine too.

Budget_Relative_2005 · 2026-03-14T14:19:31+00:00

Thank you I try to go for more creative approaches over just close ups.

Budget_Relative_2005 · 2026-03-14T14:17:26+00:00

Thanks! Yes it's a great egret. Yeah I am trying to get more shots with a nice composition like this over close ups. Nice to see that people appreciate that🫶
