Well I like or even prefer the EVF for some/most shooting but there are instances where the DSLR still wins which is why I havent moved totally to Fuji or Sony.
I really like the specs for the Sony cameras but I really dislike their menus.
I havent tried the A1 or latest A7R series cameras but all the ones I looked at about 5-6years ago the menus were horrible. Designed by a monkey on crack!
The lenses are very nice but they should be as they have only just finished updating and extending the range.
Regarding future cameras.
I see no reason to upgrade to a Z9 or even a Z7ii. What will come in Z8?
I am waiting for the Fuji XH2 and will decide whether I move totally to Fuji or just stick with what I have with a mix of Nikon and Fuji. I actually have all I need in the Fuji and I prefer the XT3 to any camera since the Nikon F3, the D3S is close behind the XT3, really only due to it bulk and weight.
I must go and see if I can get a hands on with an A1.
Eric, any chance of you coming down this way? I know Land Rovers need a run out to keep them in good order. My Discovery did 120k miles before I sold it, and it never missed a beat.
The menu system on the A1 is entirely different to the previous Sony menus. For one thing it's vertical like most other cameras
It's different to the Nikon but now more intuitive to follow ..apart from some of the Sony terminology and the sheer amount of options!!
