People need to realize that unless you are a full time professional, you only need to put your bucks into some fat glass instead of upgrading every generation.

I came from the A77/A99 to the A7R3 and hadn’t really put much thought in to how mirrorless evolved from the early days. Great analysis video bro 👏

Terrific video. Thank you for all the time and effort that went into producing it.

First, in an age where true unabashed opinions are getting rarer and rarer-thank you. I have been a Canon (all Iterations of 5D) and now Fujifilm shooter (X-Ts 2-4), seeing your analysis was very interesting. You commentary is honest without being harsh, but also somewhat hopeful. You clearly enjoy Sony A camera line! Your photographic work is very lovely. Your b-roll is also very attractive almost sexy. Your fluorescent tube lighting is just awesome! I want to shoot like Manny Ortiz when I grow up! Please keep up your great work. More importantly though, please take time to enjoy yourself, your awesome wife, and your family. May you have a blessed Christmas and a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year!

Just wanna acknowledge your time and hard work you put into making this video. We the viewers can sometimes take it for granted. Keep grinding Manny Ortiz!

I think, the biggest overall jump was the A7RIII. As you said, the image quality is still on par with the newest cameras. For me personally, it's still one of the best Sony cameras to buy in 2022. In terms of ISO performance, it's better than the A1. Stacked sensors always come with some downsides.
I still use the A7RI for my private landscape pictures and I still love, what this sensor is capable to produce. Also the JPGs have this really special look, that I still love.
The A7RIV was a step back in ISO performance, so it was directly out. It also felt a kind of slow. This camera came just to early after the RIII. All the nice new tech came after the release of the RIV. It always felt like someone just wants to put a 61mpix sensor in a body, even if the rest of the camera can't hold up to it. The A7RV feels completly different. It's not just the nice Af system.
What makes the A7RV special is also the new IBIS and the sRAW. These two things are the reason for me to upgrade from the RIII. I was able to handhold more than 1sec with a 50mm F1.2, thats such a huge jump for Sony. It's something the others said, it's not possible with the E-mount, but they proofed them wrong, again.

I was one of the early adopters of Sony A7R in 2013 and still have the camera. I never saw the need to upgrade and am very happy with IQ. I appreciate the video and information you put out there.

Great video as always Manny, thank you!

[Avatarbrayand]

Love this, definitely have to agree with the jumps between the R-R3 made upgrading feel worthwhile. Still have my R3 and love the balance it has and the video is good enough for general use. Love love love your analysis of this and glad you parted ways in the Sony artisans program but sad I wasn’t able to meet you when doing my sales training for Sony while you were in it.
