Just recently I have been contemplating whether the resolution on the A7RIV is actually multiplying the issues caused by heat haze and other atmospheric issues, and whether cutting back to a different, lower resolution camera may actually be better.
Today for example, we went to shoot some Bee-Eaters, a relatively rare bird in the UK, and they were at a stupid range really, 80-100 yards probably, and they aren't big, but my shots, even shooting crop mode (26mp) are not as good as my wifes shooting on a 20mp Nikon. Obviously I am aware the RIV is unforgiving of poor technique, and especially underexposure, but I'm not guilty of either. The weather today wasn't helpful, warm and clear, so heat haze evident, but not so much on the Nikon. I don't remember having so many issues before, so I'm wondering if others have notice an increase in these kinds of issues as the resolution of the cameras has increased. I'm seriously considering swapping systems at the moment!
