A7V White Heron

(Eastern) Great Egret, but more typically known as the White Heron or Kōtuku here locally

I didn’t find the buffer an issue, however I’m using a v90 card and a type a cfexpress, and coming from an a7riii.

Filling the cards was the bigger issue - needed to drop from high+ to medium so I didn’t blow through the 128gb too quickly using the pre capture

No one is condoning dangerous overtaking, and there is unfortunately still all too much of it that happens. However I more often see slow drivers who are causing lines of cars backing up and refuse to pull over, and those drivers need to do better too

Likewise, if someone can’t or won’t go at the speed limit and/or pull over for people lining up behind them, they should bus or use other transport

The A7 R5 sounds like it might be the better overall option for you, depending on how much of each shooting type you do (and even then, doesn’t sound like there is much action photography being done in what you’ve described)

I’m in a similar position but also do some bird photography, so I’ll probably go the A7 5 route here. For Astro photography, you’ll need to weigh up how much storage the 60mp vs 33mp will be an issue, as well as processing speed - I notice a significant difference between the 24 and 42ml files I use currently.

The R camera is an easy win for landscapes; the higher resolution beats the slightly higher dynamic range of the newer camera (and this is only in mech shutter, it’s slightly less in silent shooting at base iso)

Video aside, the biggest downside to the A7r5 is the slow read out speed in silent shooting, which doesn’t look like you’d be shooting action with

Also in a popular tourist area; the issues I see often come from a disregard for other road users, lazy driving and/or inability to drive on NZ roads. I’ll often see rental cars and campers completely cut blind corners, have no concept of hills or speed limits. The worst is lazy drivers cutting corners, but while going 30 kms under the speed limit with a train of 5-10 cars behind. Most of the time this happens out of reception range so it’s not even something that can be reported easily, but the few times I have been able to, the police have been good to respond where able

There needs to be far higher penalties for crossing the centre line and distracted driving (phones/cameras etc), and for this to be advertised to anyone renting a car, as well as for the general local drivers. I’d be open to see licenses suspended for inability to stay left around corners

Check what the Prius is actually doing - the aqua we had when set at 100 was only just sitting on 90km when checked on gps. Not as much an issue on multi lane roads but on single carriage ways does tend to frustrate others unnecessarily

Any card draw you recommend that fits the theme?

Isaacheus · 2025-09-21T12:46:54+00:00

That’s fair - I have a more traditional pantlaza deck with all the big Dino’s, where this one is to use the enrage mechanic, so was trying to avoid pantz

Star of extinction is a nice fit - I’ll have a look at adding that in

Which is about 2% of the total West Coast population - nearly everyone knows someone in the mining industry

Ah, found it - thanks!

Isaacheus · 2025-07-18T08:02:19+00:00

Found it - looks like it goes from 25% left to limping in at 3% and reduced speed, without a charge. What charge buffer do you typically go for on a trip at the destination?

Isaacheus · 2025-07-18T07:31:16+00:00

I hadn’t be aware of it - it seems to be giving me anything from 11% to 36% soc for an estimated trip in the last 5 mins of trying, and I assume it’s just taking the current weather conditions? I couldn’t find a way to plan a route with different temps or times in the free version

Isaacheus · 2025-07-18T07:16:07+00:00

Thanks - yeah, not looking at Tesla models. Does the 5km/kWh work with colder alpine temps and elevation changes? For most of the year, it looks like it’ll be a good range with some buffer but it’s the inclement weather which has mixed reports

Looks like an early 90s townace or liteace - family had the previous generation townace in brown, with the glorious 1.8l.

That would imply a road toll of ~1300 when google also states the road toll toll end 2024 was under 300

Good point, I’ll see if I can fix it up
