I know this is pretty common comparison and it feels like people are generally leaning more towards the Sigma 56, but I already own Sigma 17-40. I want a lens specifically for portraits and maybe street/people, I have a feeling that due to already owning Sigma 17-40, the Sigma 56 might not give me much difference where Viltrox 75 would? I still plan to use 17-40 as my main/daily lens, so Sigmas portability does not play too much here for me.

Thank you in advance!

I thrifted RX100VA recently, but haven’t used in a concert yet.
I find a lot of videos/posts about concerts, but with RX100VII instead and pictures look really good.

I thought I did my research on this and decided that F1.8 and nd-filter is a nobrainer for this use-case, but somehow I know keep finding replies/comments that VII is a way to go instead of VA

Did I make a mistake?

Has anyone been doing indoor concerts with V or VA and can share results?

Ignore the title, I don’t know how to summerize my question, but basically, imagine the following situation.

I am going to visit close encounter gorilla tribes in Africa and I am taking my A6700 with me. I am not an expert photographer and I am going to have people that only have done iPhone photos.

What settings would be the safest to get the best possible footage in that situation where you might not have the proper time to adjust and have to react super quickly to catch moments and you will give that camera to people that have 0-ish experience with mirrorless camera?

Is it “auto” or like “apeture priority” mode set to to like a specific F? (Is it 1.8 or 5.6 or 8?)

I will have my 17-40 Sigma most probably attached.

I’ve got a question.

I have A6700 with Sigma 17-40 as my main setup.
To have something more compact I bought SG Image 25mm f1.8. That combo is compact-ish, but.. it’s still not pocketable, nor can be brought to indoor/outdoor concerts.

I am thinking of RX100V to bring a literally pocketable camera to some events where I don’t want a visible camera (and attend concerts)

It costs 700 euros at least. Is it worth it? Or should I just stick to SG Image and simply use iPhone for concerts?

Can anyone red-pill-me on staying with A6700? I only hear "AF this, AF that", but why does every fuji photo looks thousand times better than anything A6700 produces? I even purchased a 17-40 Sigma lens which is supposed to be S tier. Am I just not skilled enough? I went through this entire sub and I am not seeing what I imagined to see. Everything is just flat and not colourful.

Is Sony FF line the answer? Or just Fuji ASPCs?

Anyone got A6700 + Sigma 17-40 and can share a photos that are worth looking at?
