I'm addition to convenience Amazon has just killed off a lot of retail options. The only competitor left with brick and mortar is Walmart and somewhat best buy for electronics. Very hard to find those small specialty stores nowadays for little random things unless you live in a big metropolitan area. Even stores like Walmart now will have the same products by a million different brands instead of having an actual variety of products.

I know you're referring to a VR headset but my mind immediately started imagining standalone over-ear headphones that can play all PC games through a purely audio interface. Imagine the accessibility possibilities lol
That's a good idea. I think in that situation the fancy stuff matters less than the magnification so the "cheaper" telescopes might make more sense. I'll have to look into it!
I actually was using my 200-600 with a 1.4x teleconverter. For photos it was a little easier but particularly for video was harder. But honestly it's all great. I don't do crazy hikes with a lot of gear so I'm happy to lug my 200-600 around. And it usually gets me the shot or close to it. I'm not a professional so it's not like anything depends on me getting the shot. It's more about the journey anyway haha
Main thing is my a7iv no longer feels like it's limiting me like my d3300 did and more often than not, it is my own limitations
I started with a used Nikon d3300 a while ago, and then upgraded to an a7iv when it came out. I was mostly starting to feel the limitations of low light performance and slow autofocus on the d3300. For me the a7iv seemed like the right choice at the time, and I've been very happy with it. But I think if I were making the same decision now, I might choose the a6700. It's smaller, similar specs, cheaper, and most importantly for me, the apsc crop would be better for wildlife as it gives better reach. I recently went to Yellowstone and the number of times cool stuff was happening just a little too far away was a bit frustrating. If I had something like an a7riv or a7rv, it wouldn't be a problem because of how high resolution they are. But those cameras cost a ton more. But I'm still very happy with my a7iv and will not be changing cameras any time soon.
I would say that unless you have a lot of nice glass for the d3200 already, don't worry about switching to Sony. I think it really is the best brand for hobbyists because of how much affordable and excellent 3rd party glass is available for the system in both full frame and aspc. Just cannot be matched with any other system. Also, if you do want the crazy fancy stuff, the Sony G and GM lenses are some of the best in the game, and definitely have the most variety of lenses.
I would avoid m43. A lot of the newer cameras aren't particularly light or small. I think the Sony apsc cameras are often more compact and more affordable.
Which coaster is that? It looks terrifying!
Hasn't this always been a possibility? People could always record their screen or take screenshots during meetings or whatever
Glad I could help! The zoom ring really is perfect. It's so easy to go through the whole range from 200-600. This makes it much more comfortable to hand hold since you never actually have to take your left hand off of it.
And yeah, you're never gonna regret a photo that looks too good haha! As for wraps, I really like the alphagvrd vinyl wraps. They even have a Lego one that the kids might get a kick out of!
I take it on walks for wildlife and usually hand hold there. If your subject isn't very far and tiny, you can hand hold relatively comfortably. I did get a small rig baseplate to make my a7iv's grip tall enough so my pinky fits comfortably. I'm 5'11" and kind of chunky, but if you're a lot smaller the lens may not be as easy to hand hold. In that case even a monopole is enough to make it easier to use the lens, I think. I used to feel shy about carrying my big lens around, but once I got over that, I realized I should use the best thing I've got to take photos I enjoy taking. I just got back from a Yellowstone trip where every dude over 55 years old made some comment like "now that's a camera/lens" when they saw me, but I just laughed and carried on. I wouldn't be too worried about how you look. Just carry on with the things you enjoy, and get those overly profession photos of your kids' sports.
I was only slightly kidding about that sigma haha. I have the Sony 200-600 and it is a great lens. Not one you'd regret, though it is bulky and attention grabbing, so maybe not exactly what you're looking for either. There is also the sigma 500mm prime for e mount which is pretty small and light.
Sigma 60-600. The one lens to rule them all.
It is most likely this. OP is one of the unfortunate people that just cannot use marijuana safely due to his biology. If you have cannabinoid hyperemesis, best to stay away from weed because the constant nausea/vomiting can lead to unintentional weight loss and a lot of other physical problems that are no fun.
