A7iv in 2024 as a professional photographer?

Sorry bit of a rant on this one but it's true. You only need the gear that does the job for you, I see so many photographers obsessing about gear when in reality 90% you don't need!

    Well said…. I picked up a used a7iv recently only because a used one popped up with a very low shutter count and was half the price of a new body and it came with a 24-70 2.8GM and 2 cards. Half way thought it was a scam. He left the pictures on the cards(same number of photos as the shutter count). All his photos were astrography related. I believe he got frustrated and put the camera on the shelf for a bit before selling it.

    I agree. Instagram is not what it once was. Many of the people I follow don't post as much as they used to do, and some of them apparently have stopped posting. So I get a lot of advertisnig thrown in my face when I'm on insta. I have recently discovered an other app, which is focused on photography and sharing photos. It's called VERO - but I don't know how widespread it is and how much traffic you can get from it And then again it's a platform that is not yours. you don't have the control you can have on a webpage.

      Your not just buying a camera, your buy in into a system. It is best to go to a camera shop that sells new and used cameras and put your hand on them. How they feel in your hand and their button layout, menus..etc makes a difference. Also learn about light and practice, practice, practice.

    Lenon, Why didn't it convince you to upgrade? You listed the Pros and Cons but you also address the cons as minor. A9iii is leagues ahead of the a9 > a9ii in terms of technology and features. So what made it not worth it for you?

      You have a valid point, I guess for me it just didn't do anything that would really make a difference to my workflow, I like all the new tech but ultimately the a9iii wouldn't be a smart investment for me as it wouldn't do anything my a9 can't (other than flash).

    One thing that helped me is exclusively buying second hand equipment. Instead of getting me the latest mirrorless camera as “recommended” broadly on RUclips (I do not need a small camera, I need a big and heavy camera, I need a very rugged camera, not some Chinese cheap plastic) I got myself 2 Mark IV with 3 amazing glasses (all 10-20 years old, all premium). So for 2000 USD I can start to work and make income. I don’t get this latest and greatest run, specially in photography. Build quality was definitely better 20 years ago, not now. Some tech needs to be tiny (cameras…), other tech as large as possible (TVs…). For me, the right size and weight is important. And I need material that I can treat like crap. Cool vid of yours.
