[Leica] Leica digital vs Sony A7RIII

[sonc.hegr at gmail.com (Sonny Carter)]

One thing makes the A7rIII the best camera I've ever used, and that's the
eye focus.   This is one of the first images I made out of the camera
(DSC00001  I had erased a few before this was shot. )

The larger batteries make the Sony power problem go away, and the high
quality of the EVF; like an HD TV.

A  few other things raise it above the quite wonderful A7rII, but those are
the highlights.

The compact nature of the Sony full frame cameras causes me to shrug at the
cute little Fujis, and the comparatively huge Leica SL kit.

Some illness and the unusually frigid weather hereabouts have kept me from
exploring the camera fully, but I'm pretty happy with what I have right now.
