| 0:00.0 | Jared Polinfrono's photo.com and this is the Daily Fro for September 16th, 2019. |
| 0:07.5 | The time now is officially 824 in the a.m. |
| 0:11.9 | This is episode number 278. |
| 0:14.4 | 278, where I sit down sometime during the day to share what's on my mind with you and you. |
| 0:19.6 | Get to share what's on your mind with me by calling or texting 267-454-6376. |
| 0:25.1 | Yeah, took some, well, you know, when I don't feel like doing a show, I don't do a show, but I had a lot to talk about. |
| 0:31.7 | I've just haven't done it yet. As you know, I went on the road, or some of you may know, and I was fretting, fretting over the past |
| 0:38.6 | couple of weeks on what camera system do I take? Do I take the Z7 because it has higher quality? Do I take |
| 0:45.7 | the Z6 because it has better ISO capability? Do I take the Nikon system because of the Z lenses? And I have a |
| 0:51.7 | lot of them and they're super light at this point, other than |
| 0:54.9 | the 105-14, which I would adapt to it and the 70-200, which I would adapt to it. Or do I take a Sony |
| 1:01.2 | A-9? Because the Sony A-9 is one of those things that is such a unique camera that it changed |
| 1:07.8 | the way the future of photography is going to be with its 20 frames a |
| 1:11.7 | second and silent shooting. So I will tell you that I still didn't make the decision until |
| 1:16.8 | roughly 45 minutes before Senator Sanders showed up to the first event that we were at. So what |
| 1:23.2 | happened is I'm still debating what to use. But the reason I was debating wasn't because I had the |
| 1:30.6 | Nikon with me. I decided not to take the Nikon about a week before. I decided that I was going to take |
| 1:35.2 | the Sony. And the reason I decided to take a Sony kit is because I got an A7 R4 in the mail from |
| 1:40.6 | Sony, which didn't even come out until the 12th of September. So I had it a week or so ahead of it coming out, a full-on production model. |
| 1:48.9 | And I had the 35-1-2 from Sigma that I already did a review on, the 14 to 242.2.8 Sigma, |
| 1:57.3 | the 24-70-G master, the 24- 70 Gmaster, 70200 Gmaster. |
| 2:10.4 | I asked Sony to send me out some lenses to take on the road, a 135-18, 85-14, 24-14, and I think that's all I got from them. |
