So I just bought a Sony a7riii. I also just picked up a Sigma 100-400mm. I had plans of shooting some birds at the park, but it was a beautiful day and people were everywhere on the trails. So no birds so I just messed around in the woods which is hard when your shortest focal length is 100mm. This is what I walked away with. All shots are handheld as I'm lazy and don't want to carry a tripod. I was worried about the weight of my new set up considering my main set up prior was a Sony a6100 and Sony 70-350, but I really didn't notice it. CC is welcome as I'm just a hobbyist and always looking to learn and grow. I'm hoping to purchase a Tamron 28-200 in the next few weeks.

Jessica, how would you compare the experience with an a6100 and 70-350 to the A7R3 and similar focal length? The R series is the higher megapixel count right? so I'm guessing in review/editing you probably had "more to work with" in terms of pixels/details when you want to crop?
 
I had some pretty much super under exposed photos that I recovered in lightroom. I am more comfortable with my a6100, but that's just because the a7riii is new and there are some differences in the menu. I was really wanting to get some photos of birds on our bird feeders but after the snow left they have abandoned my feeders. I wanted to compare shooting at relatively the same distance to compare the end result, but unfortunately the birds have other ideas.
