  Sony A9 iii or wait for A2ii

  Posted by Aditya Bhalla on March 6, 2024 at 4:25 pm

  Dear Sudhir, I am planning to buy a new camera for birding and need some guidance. I am leaning towards Sony A9iii and want to know if I’d wait for Sony A1 ii for higher pixels which will prove better for cropping. Please suggest whether I’d buy 200-600 zoom or 600 tele (Which you were using in your Bharatpur shoot). I presently own D500 and a 200-500 zoom but despite numerous repairs, my focus is still way off. Also suggest which gimbal you were using in Bharatpur.

  Aditya, One issue with upgrade is – if you keep waiting, you will keep waiting forever and will miss the opportunities from now till then.
  Just go for Sony A9 III. Regarding the lens, you cannot compare a 1.5 lakh lens to a 12 lakhs lens. So no comparison between 200-600 and 600mm f/4 lens. If you can afford, then go for the 600mm lens.

  Regarding the accessories, these are the recommended ones:
  1. Leofoto Ranger LS-365C tripod
  
  2. Leofoto BV-15 fluid head
  
  3. Leofoto MPQ-325C monopod
  
  4. Leofoto MPG-01 monopod head
