Sony is making huge moves...i'm seeing people move in droves from canon/nikon.

Looks like a great camera, but I'm really glad to have the higher-res EVF in the RIII, as well as no AA filter (they haven't actually said whether it has one or not, but it's likely that it does as manufacturers generally tout the lack of one, so most are assuming it does at this time). Really curious that it gets everything from the new bodies in terms of buttons and joystick and battery but it goes with a non-locking mode dial. I find the locking dial on the RIII a PITA. It doesn't get moved unintentionally IME with the OG 7R.
The lens lineup is pretty mature now unless you're a pro wildlife or sports shooter looking for really long, fast glass. Pricier than their CaNikon counterparts though, sadly. Their lenses are top notch though, and they have lines that cater to people who are MF die-hards. I have the Batis 18 (probably selling soon, just not better enough than the wide zooms), Loxia 21 (which is phenomenal, it's one of those you just never even consider parting with because it's just perfect from corner to corner, I try to use it even when it's not wide enough by stitching frames together since it's so damn good), Batis 25 (great, focuses really close and the bokeh is great for a wide lens), 35 2.8 (tiny, sharp, little too much CA for my liking but what can you do), 55 1.8 (same as 35 but even sharper and even more CA sadly), Batis 85 (does OK on bokeh, razor sharp as a landscape lens), and the 16-35/4, which is fine but I'll be selling it along with the 18 soon to try the 2.8 version as I'm looking for better corner sharpness. Tried two copies of the 12-24 but found both of mine decentered. Still rocking an old 70-200 2.8 Sigma that is a brick but is super sharp and it's my least used focal range so I'm still sticking with it, but I may go for something native once I have the UWA zoom situation settled.
Fucking expensive hobby, but going for walks on the weekend and taking crappy photos is very enjoyable. I could have a much nicer fun car if it weren't for photography.

Oh, and I'm sure the high-ISO performance on the 7III will be fantastic. I can't believe how good the RIII is, and that's at 42MP. At web sizes, with a little work, you can barely tell the difference between ISO 100 and 10K. No hyperbole, I've tested it. Noise is really natural and film-like too, unlike Canon sensors.

Just about as good with a FF sensor, much better AF, better battery life, wider lens selection, better video, better high-ISO performance etc etc lol.

Probably close for that use. Same megapickles, though the Sony has bigger pickles, but the Fuji has no AA filter and the Sony probably does. RIII has all the pickles plus pickle shift. I'm used to the 36MP sensor on the OG R and the 42MP sensor is still noticeably better for landscape use.
