I took photos with smartphones for a long time. And although what was on hand for a sufficiently long period had the best cameras by the standards of smartphones, he became interested in photography in more detail. For self-development, I got a Nikon D5100 with an 18-105 whale lens. A little later, for him, he got a Chinese fix for 50 mm Yongnuo. But I wanted more. First of all, the speed of the photo and tenacious autofocus. And then a full frame. To seriously and for a long time. At the time of purchase, I understood that I would eventually get lenses. Yes, in fact, it was not tied to any system. The choice was made from current offers for mirrorless cameras Nikon Z6\Z7, Canon Eos R\RP, Sony A7M3\RM3. As a result, the toad and Sony won. Since the solutions in terms of Z7, Eos R, RM3 went at a cost of 200 and the "simplified" Z6, Eos RP, A7M2, according to reviews, were inferior to older generations in terms of autonomy, focusing and speed. As a result - Sony A7M3. And to be honest, I didn't regret it. On the simplest whale lens, the camera allows you to take photos that were previously inaccessible to me. First of all, in terms of quality, and then in other parameters. Gradually I will get 2-3 lenses for the camera. In the meantime, except for the price - I really like everything. Examples of photos, compressed from ARW to Jpeg, are just below.
