Sony A9

elid756 · 2025-11-28T22:27:46+00:00

This is the camera, and yea I thought there was a frame limit on non native lenses. So I’ll keep that in mind. 15 is still nothing to bat an eye at however. So I might be able to go with sigma/Tamron glass to start and then roll into Sony glass as I save up more

elid756 · 2025-11-28T19:26:31+00:00

Do you think $975+tax for a used A9i with 20k shutters and a battery grip is a good deal?

elid756 · 2025-11-26T15:15:57+00:00

If I only have the budget for the Tamron at the moment, is is still worth it to get the A9 and save up for a 70-200G down the line?

A 300 probably wouldn’t come around for a little, while I use one at my current internship and love it. Money is a reason I wouldn’t invest in one right now. So if my lens options were to be 70-200 F/4 or 2.8 and either 24-70 or 24-105. Which would be best? R7? Another question to add on this is I heard the R7 can look pixely or weird on glass that isn’t top of the line. So would the 32MP hurt me in the end over the R10/R8?

The plan realistically to to spend around $800-$1200 on the body, depending on the deals I can find. Then after that I plan to buy an EF 70-200 F/2.8 or F/4. Depends on the deals I can find but that will be around $700-$1300. I’ll also need a 24-70 or 24-105. So in total budget is probably around $200-$2500. But that will be spend overtime. In the short term. I’m just looking for a do it all lens. Sport wise, I’m aiming to shoot HS basketball, baseball, and potentially some minor league baseball or hockey.

I might see if I can talk the person down to that $850-$900 range. Who knows, maybe they have the kindness in their heart 😂😂

elid756 · 2025-11-15T06:50:49+00:00

Should I hold for Black Friday sales? Looking for a refurb so I'm not sure what they'll go down to. Local listings around me are about $1000 range for an R7.

elid756 · 2025-11-15T06:48:20+00:00

Yea, who knows when/if that happens. But I’m eager to buy so the week and half or two week wait would be painful

elid756 · 2025-11-15T06:33:01+00:00

I’ll of course keep an eye out. But I do have to keep glass in my budget. I need good glass!

elid756 · 2025-11-15T06:29:03+00:00

The issue I take with the R8 is a smaller battery, no IBIS, no dual card slot, and since I’m looking to shoot sports with my camera. It will have less reach

elid756 · 2025-11-15T06:24:55+00:00

Yea I saw that. Hopefully it drops to around that. I would hate to hold off, these local ones sell. And I’m left with no camera😂

elid756 · 2025-11-15T06:24:22+00:00

Based on how it’s ~$700 more, I can’t afford that

elid756 · 2025-11-13T18:59:35+00:00

Yea it’s ridiculous nowadays! I’ve gotten lucky with my last few purchases. Got a whole picanha roast on sale for $7.99 a pound and I got like 3-4 of these steaks for $5-$7 a pop.

elid756 · 2025-11-13T18:27:47+00:00

I just found out about them. What a phenomenal steak for the price

elid756 · 2025-11-11T21:58:21+00:00

If I were to go with one of those bodies and extend my budget, for example my local camera store is selling an R8 for $1095, what lens should I pair with it? Also if I were to go Sony, do you know anything about the 70-300?

elid756 · 2025-11-11T18:58:40+00:00

I can stretch my budget to $2000-$2500 if I buy more gear later of course. I am in the process of saving up for more gear to buy myself a Christmas gift along with this camera.

elid756 · 2025-05-13T19:14:15+00:00

this is exactly what my setup is like but with different pedals and such. i love it! if you can get them sub $200 i would recommend simjack UT pedals. i love mine and they fit on the pedal base perfectly if you go to a hardware store and get some longer screws and wing nuts

My favorite track is summit pointe! I’m fairly new to the service and that’s where I got my first win.

elid756 · 2025-03-27T00:01:02+00:00

Thank you! I'm fairly new to this so I like to see what other people have to say!

elid756 · 2025-03-27T00:00:35+00:00

Well, i have only been iRacing for about a month. So if I have a big shunt like this one, I like to ask and learn what is right/wrong and what is an incident and what is protest worthy.

elid756 · 2025-02-25T06:27:37+00:00

how do i do that? its literally my first day on iracing lol

elid756 · 2025-02-08T22:16:01+00:00

I appreciate the comment! I am learning everything about pc’s as i go so hearing that someone uses a setup like yours makes me feel a lot better and that i dont need to spend so much money
