I started reading on here, so I figured I’d register and get involved. I’m from the Midwest in America. I have an a7riva I bought a few years ago and a few cheap primes. I had some life issues I’m coming out of so I haven’t invested a whole lot into lenses yet, but am looking at buying some of the sharper third party zooms at some point this year finally. I’ve been pretty happy with the camera so far other than struggling with low light, so I may eventually get a lower mp body to make that range easier for me. I mostly shoot for my own use (photographing my daughter as she grows and wildlife), but I’ve done a few jobs for a local print shop that needed some larger sized prints. This is my first mirrorless, though I own film cameras and grew up with my mom using a dark room and being a graphic designer so I’ve liked photography from a young age. Mostly here to read and learn more as there’s always wisdom to gain.
 
Best thing for high noise files is something like Topaz Photo AI or some other denoising software.

Not all files will work great but a lot of them will and every update improves things more and more
