Why I’m moving to Sony

I became a professional photographer in 1980 and at that time, shot with a Mamiya medium format film camera. I also used a Canon AE-1. In 2002, I bought my first digital camera — a Nikon D1H. I upgraded my Nikons over the years and in 2015, decided that they were getting too heavy when traveling, or when doing street photography, and for vacations so I purchased a Fuji X-T1 and an X100T. Most recently I purchased an X-T4.

So, I had Nikons for most of my shooting and Fuji for when I traveled or did street photography.

Now, I’m at the age where the Nikon DSLR’s are getting too heavy even for use in my studio so I want to go 100% mirrorless but, Fuji doesn’t make a full frame camera so I was thinking of just staying with Nikon. I purchased the Z6 mainly for video but it’s not bad for picture taking either. I was thinking of getting a Z7 but really, the A7Riv is simply better so, I sold all of my Fuji gear and purchase the Sony camera and I’ll be selling my Nikon gear soon too except for the Z6 — I’ll still use that for video.

Note about my shirt: "Funeral Coat" is the name of my son's new band. Their first album is being mixed and mastered now. They have released three singles that you can find on Spotify, Apple Music, etc.
