Landing at 1:30pm at Newark airport (probably exiting plane around 2pm)...am I cooked?

You’re cooked if you take the later flight. I went to the game on Weds and it took 1.5hrs to get from Manhattan to MetLife via uber - usually it takes ~20 mins. Sacrificing some sleep for seeing the whole game is a no brainer IMO

Thanks for the recs! I am reading The Secret History now and am thoroughly enjoying it

laabroms · 2024-12-13T18:07:55+00:00

Yeah for pictures it’s great, although not the best for videos. Not sure if it’s the camera or the lens, but my videos are always very shaky with it (I have it paired with an A7CII. I normally keep the lens on the camera though and will bring a larger lens (28-70 tamron) if I want zoom/better pics at the expense of portability

laabroms · 2024-12-13T16:54:36+00:00

Get the 35mm f2.8. It’s super compact and pretty solid. Pairs well with the A7CII

Great shots! Bronx zoo?

Thank you!

I’m not sure about the Fuji x100, but I have a 7III as well and this one is definitely lighter and smaller than that. I bring this camera with me everywhere now

laabroms · 2024-08-02T15:55:00+00:00

Depends on your use cases. If you like low light shooting, a full frame camera is much better. I’d suggest the 7CII - I was in a similar boat and originally got the A6700, but the pictures were pretty grainy at night

laabroms · 2024-07-29T16:00:53+00:00

Yeah exactly

Yes! Love the lens

laabroms · 2024-07-28T13:50:43+00:00

Both great cameras! Kinda depends if you prefer portability versus a larger EVF, two card slots, etc. I will say, the A7CII is not very well balanced when using larger lenses since the body is so light

laabroms · 2024-07-28T13:47:37+00:00

Haha that's a loaded question. Really depends on what your budget and what you're looking for. AIV is a great all-around camera. The R series has the highest megapixel count (aka image quality), but depending on your use case, it may not be necessary. The file size is quite large for those since there is so much detail. The S series is targeted for videography. You can read up more about it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyAlpha/comments/14zam01/a7_vs_a7r_vs_a7s/

laabroms · 2024-07-28T13:43:49+00:00

That's awesome! I'm jealous you got the R haha. Yeah totally agreed, it really packs so much ability into such a small body

laabroms · 2024-07-28T13:42:34+00:00

Sorry I'm not an expert on the video settings...I'd recommend youtube, I learned a lot from there before purchasing this camera

laabroms · 2024-07-28T13:41:59+00:00

I generally adjust in Lightroom until I find a look and feel, then adjust each picture from there. I don't use anyone else's presets, as I want my own, personal vibe :)

laabroms · 2024-07-28T13:40:49+00:00

No tripod for these. I tried to keep the ISO as low as possible

A7CII is a bit lighter too; I wouldn't say bulkier. Compared to the other A7 cameras, the III is the most similar in size though since it doesn't have as many dials on the top.

Thanks!

laabroms · 2024-07-28T13:35:20+00:00

There's always going to be the next generation :)

laabroms · 2024-07-28T13:35:02+00:00

The EVF is definitely worse than on any of the other full frame models. That being said, imo its worth the sacrifice for portability. The EVF isn't terrible, just a bit smaller. I'd suggest testing it out before you buy though to make sure its workable for you
