The other way to think about it is that if you choose a higher megapixel camera, then you get the extra luxury of being able to shoot in crop mode if you want more reach without changing lenses. You end up with less megapixels than the maximum, but still very respectable. This is my strategy for travel photography where I don't want to change lenses. If there's something that I want to get a little closer to, I can flip on crop mode and get that extra reach. Of course I could always crop later in post, but it's nice to be able to see the composition in-camera. If you use the Tamron 35-150mm f2-2.8, then you have an incredible amount of flexibility in range, maintaining a max aperture of 2.8, and can use crop mode to extend reach to effectively 225mm when you need it.
I love the Sony 70-350 APAC lens, and didn’t want to give it up when I moved to my first full frame A7IV. The 14?megapixels seem fine. My bird photos are extremely detailed. The weight savings is great.
I use the 24.2 MP A7 III. Even though I have G-master telephoto lenses, I use super 35 mode a lot, and have the custom buttons on the lenses mapped to trigger it. Resolution drops to 10 MP, but I shoot for a band where the images are viewed on social media, so it is not a big deal. Still, I use Topaz Labs full suite of photo products. Their Gigapixel Ai upscaling/enhancement software works incredibly well.
I literally just did this for entire family shoot. I totally forgot I put it into crop for a few wildlife photos and thought I was backing up a bit too much, but it was a long day and I just got the mirrorless about a month ago and totally forgot about it. At least it wasn’t a wedding I guess. 😆
You gotta get your hands on an Arri Alexa for a day. Glorious 8.29mp 😂 Watched some dance short, amazing what lenses, dynamic range and color depth can do. Shot in 2k (4mp) Skyfall, The Avengers, District 9, Star Wars 3, The Martian, Sin City, Hunger Games Mocking Jay 1 and 2, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Shot in 1080p (2.1mp FTW) Game of Thrones At least in hollywood, most movies and tv shows from the last 10yrs were shot in 2.7k or 3k, then down sampled to 2048x1920 or 3.9mp The ONLY times top level professional DP shoot over 4K is for heavy punch in and heavy VFX. They don't shoot unnecessary big files. The industry is still headed for 4k, not there yet, but soon. Only a tiny handful of features were shot in 8k. James Gunn I think did it just to try it plus they had very big VFX scenes for Guardians of the Galaxy 2.
I just order an A7 IV, and this has helped me in my process of selecting lenses for Photography. Thank you

Great idea about that! Thanks for share!
Great video. Thanks! This gives me a new perspective on selecting which lenses to buy. Could save some size, weight and finally money! ☺️👍🏼
thats why i cant decide on a hasseblad 1xd II or fuji 100s
Haha out of those two I’d go for the Fuji. It’s just so much more responsive and easy to shoot with.
@@HansRosemond confirming what i was thinking. thank you.

The a7s3 only has 12 megapixels. That’s a 3,500 dollar camera
Under studio conditions...with good glass...that's true. Try that again...at night...with only environmental lighting...then come to talk to me.
Light, location, lens.
An okay image has only one of these, a good image has two, an exceptional image has all three.
Refreshing video. Thank you

Haha yeah it’s so easy to do!

I love this video
Hi Bro！Can you share the raw files of A7M4 in the video?
