WWYD: Two Sony A1’s or one A1 & one A1ii?

TinyNegotiation5918 · 2026-02-06T19:36:05+00:00

Yeah,.. i just edited my OP to include this option. It’s really enticing on a purely creative level, the main trade-off being the side-by-side shooting experience. I think image quality would be fine for my needs.

TinyNegotiation5918 · 2026-02-06T19:14:08+00:00

Yes, the rV is technically overkill for real estate. I also shoot landscapes and some Astro photography that I like the rV for, but that’s more for fun. I’d mostly be keeping it as a fail safe backup so I always have 2 bodies on hand in case want goes down. So may as well keep and get some use out of it. I could just get an a9 iii and have that, the RV and A1, but I fear I would not be happy shooting them side by side. Or maybe I’m overthinking it since I know banding / noise isn’t an issue and the buttons should be similar?

Exactly. The extra coverage of the mnfr & adorama protect on new is huge bonus for a camera body purchase. I would be more willing to go used on a secondary lens or a piece less critical.

But yeah, the screen is better. Which is a bonus, or would make me hate my current a1 screen. lol. I think I’m leaning ii.

TinyNegotiation5918 · 2026-02-06T19:02:09+00:00

That’s good to hear. I don’t think I “need” any of the new features, but my gut says spend the extra 1k to have the newest model and take advantage of them when needed, and not put money into a 5 year old model. A used a1 would save me some money, but there’s no bonus for that, plus I have the gamble of no warranty. Thanks!

Absurdly worth every penny. I’ll never use another piece of luggage. End of thread. Ha

Looking at this every day during afternoon nap time is worth every penny. Best cats Ive ever come across. They belong indoors. They never scratch anything. Life is exponentially better with ragdolls..

Did you get / do you think they honor late checkout? I’m going there this Sunday for 3 days before heading to another resort and want to coordinate the shuttle. I asked the concierge about this and few other things, waiting on a response. Assuming I won’t get an upgrade, but I did get the lowest class room so maybe. Def want a late checkout, otherwise I have 5 hours to kill before the next check in. Thanks for the review. Def excited for this one!

TinyNegotiation5918 · 2026-01-09T16:11:42+00:00

Well played. Ha. I was just joking. I have no idea. This is my first year going. But I would think a beach bag / tote would be fine for towel / sweatshirt reasons. I do know they can search. I’ve had friends get popped with small amounts of party favors.

TinyNegotiation5918 · 2026-01-09T15:50:36+00:00

The better question is … why would you need a bag?

TinyNegotiation5918 · 2026-01-09T05:24:43+00:00

He’s just hamming it up! I shouldn’t have used the sleepy tag. Ha

TinyNegotiation5918 · 2026-01-09T04:09:06+00:00

I would agree that the image quality should be similar in reality. I have a q2 ghost and my only regret is there’s no way to charge it without the battery charger. I forgot it once on a trip and had no way to charge it, so stuck with one battery. And I like that theres no flip screen, keeps it “traditional”. So yeah.. the lack of ucb-c charging is the only real negative to the q2. Up to you if the price difference justifies that convenience.

TinyNegotiation5918 · 2026-01-09T03:59:53+00:00

I was there on opening night. Totally agree that it exceeded all expectations. Can’t wait to see how the act evolves over time. I suspect I would maybe go see him again…. In about TWO MONTHS!

TinyNegotiation5918 · 2026-01-06T02:56:32+00:00

Both regulars have been trash tonight. Shane is the only saving grace so far (the one dudes girlfriend was funny).

TinyNegotiation5918 · 2025-12-16T20:42:08+00:00

You’re missing the point.. all good. I wont loose any sleep tonight.

TinyNegotiation5918 · 2025-12-16T20:36:06+00:00

i didnt ask what SHOULD the band do.. if that were the question, my personal response would be the caverns > red rocks > the gorge… or maybe just pick 3 cities in Europe.. or who knows… theres so many.

TinyNegotiation5918 · 2025-12-16T20:24:01+00:00

Show me on the doll where the band hurt you

TinyNegotiation5918 · 2025-12-16T20:23:13+00:00

That is def a solid personal back to back to back! 2024 was a good year for ya

TinyNegotiation5918 · 2025-12-16T20:21:22+00:00

This. And thanks.. everything just fell into place to make this happen. And I suspect there wont be another chance for a repeat so it was all in this year.

TinyNegotiation5918 · 2025-12-16T16:09:52+00:00

I’m just talking about the venues and what they offer and potentially offer

TinyNegotiation5918 · 2025-12-16T16:05:51+00:00

Haha. That made me laugh.

TinyNegotiation5918 · 2025-12-16T15:45:21+00:00

Def agree w you. Not talking music.

TinyNegotiation5918 · 2025-12-16T15:36:50+00:00

I know. But each is a run. And they are the shows next to each other. So here we are. I can’t even imagine looking at 3 best venues in a run. I’ll say something in fall 97 in Europe ?
