You can even hide the camera under your coat in a place where you might feel a bit isolated. There was also the sensor size &#8211; they were the first to bring out 42MP sensors &#8211; at that time twice the size of other DSLRs &#8211; so there&#8217;s lots of scope for cropping, without losing any quality.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div>\n<figure style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.robertharding.com\/preview\/1226-724\/dubai-skyline-burj-khalifa-sheikh-zayed-road-interchange\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/images.robertharding.com\/preview\/RM\/RH\/HORIZONTAL\/1226-724.jpg\" width=\"1000\" height=\"668\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dubai skyline with Burj Khalifa and Sheikh Zayed Road Interchange, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Middle East<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"p1\">Fraser also considered the video quality of the new Sony cameras to be an important factor influencing his decision to switch. &#8220;They were the first to bring out 4k video in camera at a reasonable price,&#8221; he says. &#8220;They were way ahead of the competition on this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;I do a lot of time lapse work,&#8221; Fraser continues. &#8220;At the time I switched, you would get aperture flicker when you did time lapse on a normal DSLR. Even at F2.8 the shutter never opens and closes the exact same amount and those minute differences create a flicker, even if its a 100th of an F-stop&#8217;s difference.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<figure style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.robertharding.com\/preview\/1226-582\/leadenhall-market-city-london-london-england-united-kingdom\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/images.robertharding.com\/preview\/RM\/RH\/HORIZONTAL\/1226-582.jpg\" width=\"1000\" height=\"668\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Leadenhall Market, City of London, London, England, United Kingdom, Europe<span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">&#8220;With mirror-less they don&#8217;t have to open and close the shutter every frame as it doesn&#8217;t need to,&#8221; he continues. &#8220;When you put time lapse together if its F16 on every shot, there is no flicker. This speeds up the processing by hours and hours.&#8221;<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;I launched straight in and bought the whole kit,&#8221; he explains. &#8220;The lenses are every bit as good as the Canon and Nikon equivalent &#8211; though some are quite heavy still. Even sports photographers are moving over. The Sony A9, for example, can shoot at 20 frames-per-second, retaining a massive picture size. With this better burst rate many find they are getting the shot every time now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<figure style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.robertharding.com\/preview\/1179-3711\/bernina-express-train-transit-colorful-woods-autumn-morteratsch\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/images.robertharding.com\/preview\/RF\/RH_RF\/HORIZONTAL\/1179-3711.jpg\" width=\"1000\" height=\"668\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bernina Express train in transit along colorful woods in autumn, Morteratsch, Engadine, canton of Graubunden, Switzerland<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div>Italian photographer Roberto Moiola, specialising in stunning mountain vistas &#8211; especially those of the\u00a0Alps near where he lives &#8211; is another robertharding photographer who has found the switch to Sony beneficial for his work. Roberto&#8217;s experience with the brand echoes many of Fraser&#8217;s sentiments, although Roberto preferred to wait until later mirror-less cameras had been developed.<\/div>\n<div>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Six months ago, after more than 15 years with Canon equipment, I decided to move to Sony,&#8221; he explains. &#8220;In reality, my first attempt had already taken place some years ago, but the Sony A7R didn&#8217;t satisfied me. But the entry of the Sony A7R3 onto the market made my curiosity come back to the mirror-less world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a

some friends, I decided to change all my gear,&#8221; he says. &#8220;I love Sony especially for two reasons: reduced weight and size compared to a Canon reflex system, and the depth of colours and quality of the images produced by the sensor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The wide dynamic range of the Sony A7R3 sensor has even allowed me to reduce my editing times and in many cases I modified my way of photographing and interfacing myself with light and shadow while I work.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a
