What the dark night sky looks like now due to Starlink satellites
a real dslr or mirrorless with 30s exposure will get you close. The main image in this post is a composite of multiple images over a night, stitched together. An older Sony A7II, tripod, and f2.8 16mm lens could get you close to this with practice.

Apple Announces iPhone Air With Ultra-Thin Design
I have just gone back to carrying an actual camera. Is it a direct replacement? No, but if your main goal is to take pics, a 15 year old mirrorless or DSLR will take better pics. My sony A7ii (which can be found used for cheap) takes massively better pics. These days I carry a Nikon Zf with a small

Camera preferences for using vintage lenses?
I've found my Sony A7ii to work very well with vintage lenses. I find focus peaking works pretty well for me along with the overexposure indication (zebra striping). And if I want to get really accurate with the focus I can zoom in quite easily.

SL2 or A7RIV?
The Sony colour issues are a myth. That was from the a7 and a7ii era. There's no Leica colour or look either. It's all about the lens rendering. A skilled editor can make X look like Y in terms of colour. If you want to use the Leica APO lenses, get the SL. Otherwise the a7riv and GM primes are a gr

Worth the switch?
Right, as a fellow Sony 20-70 f/4 owner and M43 shooter, let me share my thoughts… I own the Sony A7C (so, a step up from your A7II) along with the 20-70 f/4, plus a few other lenses. I also have an OM-5 paired with the 12-45 f/4 Pro. When I bought the Sony 20-70 f/4, my intention was to replace the

Two hobbies collide
Oh don’t get me started haha. I like to buy used and lean towards gear that lasts and can be repaired. Holds true for all the coffee stuff. Capricorn mode: Camera bundle bought for $520 last November: Sony a7ii with kit lens and Sony 85mm, 4 batteries, an extended grip and a 300w strobe kit. Then I’

Anyone Switch From an A7IV to a Z6III or Z8?
I have beaten this drum to death by now but I went A7R2 -> Z7II w/Viltrox E-Z for about 4 months. Mid June sold the Z7II for a Z8. I shared your sentiment for disdain towards spending a metric ton just to shoot decent FPS on Sony, not to mention CFe A vs B. Ultimately it was a mix of that, having to

Ich brauche eine Zweit-Kamera (Gebraucht - DSLR/DSLM) mit Objektiv für Fotos - 600€ Budget
Wenn du die Fotos bearbeitest sind die Sony Farben wieder irrelevant, hier würde sogar einmal in LR exportieren, Adobe Color Profil drauf und exportieren reichen. Dann hättest du den großen Vorteil alles in einem System zu haben, du brauchst also nur den Body und kannst deine Objektive weiter benutz

How to make a photo like this where the subject is on focus and everything else is moving?
Yes, I’m pretty sure that I did it that way on my Sony a7ii - worked like charm

Christmas in Miami on Film
Never a gate keeper here, I love photography. I would highly suggest a Pentax K1000 or a Pentax Spotmatic for a fist film camera as they are fully manual and you can get them with a lens for around 100-200 depending on quality. Can’t speak to video as I’m primarily a photographer. My Sony A7ii is a
