What's up Y'all? Hope you're having a great week. Me pretty good! This week will be a little different . Usually I'm buying something or getting something new but this week I'm getting rid of something. Now I have changed my camera set ups many times. I've gone from a film shooter to a digital shooter from a Nikon full frame DSLR to a Sony crop sensor Mirrorless camera and back to Full frame Mirrorless and film again. So kind of full circle. Now I have two full frame mirrorless camera's. Both are basically the same . Same sensor and everything but one is a compact size and one is more professional traditional camera. Well I was finding problems on when to use this camera or that camera and what lenses to use just too many choices. So one or the other camera would just sit at home depending on what mood I was in. What a waste. So I needed to get rid of one. So now which one?

Both of my camera's are Sony full frame Mirrorless cameras. One is a A7III which is the more traditional camera with dual card slots a larger electronic view finder and is very robust. It's the one that I use for wildlife and landscape photography. I have 3 main lenses that I have talked about in the past the 16-35mm, 20-70mm, and the 70-300mm zooms which I love them all. I also have the A7C which the "C" stands for compact. It is built in a range finder style and is more compact than the A7III. It's great for travel and street photography with its low profile and I recently used it on a Colonial Williamsburg workshop where it worked great and gave me excellent photo's. For the compact camera I have one zoom a 28-60mm to compact primes a 35mm Zeiss and a 50mm.  Both which I love. The knobs and switches are a little different on each camera so when I go from one to another I have to relearn what switch does what. That slows me down a little. And since both camera's have the same sensor and megapixel count I really need to pair down to one camera. But which one? Well I had to make a decision and I'm going to keep the A7III the more traditional camera and letting the compact go. The main reason really came down to the electric view finder. The one on the A7III is larger than the one on the A7C the compact version which has a small one. And with older eyes the larger one won out. So now I have to decide what else I will get rid of. I decided on the 28-60mm will have to go also because it is in the same range as my 20-70mm zoom which is the better lens. 

Selling the cameras was easy for me. I sold them back to MPB which was where I bought them from to begin with. All you have to do is let them know what you're selling and they give you a quote. Package them up and they send you the label to ship them with and then you take them to a Fed X store and send to MPB. When they receive them they inspect them and make sure they are okay and then they send the money. I originally bought the A7C for 1100 dollars and I sold for 900 three years later. Not too bad. 

Now that I've paired down I only have one system to think about. If I need something small I can always use my little Canon point and shoot that I love for that kinds of stuff. So there you have it I have paired down my Camera's to just one system . So until next week Get out and shoot !
