Sony A7IV! Welcome to the family! It was an easy decision.

Nikon Z6ii or Sony A7iv? That is the decision Katie is faced with. Stick with my old Nikon Z6ii or get a shiny new Sony A7iv? The decision is easy. Seriously easy!

Watching someone enjoy what they are doing and experiencing is always a pleasure to witness. Really looking forward to the side by side image comparisons that will be coming. Josh: Your "new" job is to enjoy all the times when Katie has a better image than you. Then you can ponder on G.A.S. and experience, talent, skill and luck some more, as you patiently wait for the Z400 2.8 and/or the Z800 6.3,

    Well Katie, you enjoyed the Duck slipping off the ice and that's what really matters. When we get consumed by what others may or may not like, we lose focus on what's the important part, us behind the camera doing what appeals to us. That 100-400 lens is also very sharp, I have it in my newly converted from Nikon to Sony collection, it also works very well with the Sony 1.4 teleconverter, even if it does limit you to f8 at 400mm, but it's still very sharp for a tele on a non prime lens, maybe Josh can push the boat out and find one for you somewhere.

    Nicely done, Katie. Though I’m deep down the Nikon rabbit hole, I’ve said many times recently that, "irrespective of which gear tribe you belong to, what a greeat time to be a photographer/videographer”. There are many lens/body combos that afford us the technical advantage of increasing the odds we’ll get the shot/footage we seek. The key is if she likes the feel/weight of what she has, she’s far more likely to keep using it. I know you know that but kudos for encouraging her choice. Happy shooting together.

    Sony is a far better system, at this point than Nikon. Z9 is the exception. I shot Nikon for years and the A7iii, a7riii etc, all far far superior to Z7ii or Z6ii. Z9 is epic but Sony has very similar dynamic range and resolution, etc.

The sony 200 600 lens is fantastic, I've got that on the a7iii just now. Internal zoom and quarter turn takes you from 200 to 600 quickly. Off to grab the Mrs and get her to watch this as a) she likes your videos b) she is very similar style to yours Mrs, she goes off wanders whilst I sit and wait.

    The end of this was cute. My girlfriend loves joining me when I photograph wildlife. We did Yellowstone three times last year and spent a total of about 28 days in JH and Teton park. She saw her first wolf on our second trip and decided she needed a Vortex spotting scope. I'm an R5 shooter and know nothing of such things but she picked it out and the last trip, bought an Iphone mount. Watching her light up the first time she watched wolves with her own optic and taking video through the phone mount was magical. I think she has the bug for wildlife videography now and I love it :)

It's just thrilling to see someone excited about starting a new chapter in their photography journey. I have that 100-400 GM and it's a beast. One of my "pry it out of my cold, dead hands" lenses.
