One Month After The Switch
It’s now been a month since I moved away from Fujifilm for my main workhorse setup and began using Sony. In this blog, I will share how the switch has been going so far, what I’ve learned, the issues I’ve faced, and whether I regret the move or not. For full clarity, this switch wasn’t sponsored in any way, and Sony doesn’t know who I am. There were no issues with Fujifilm as a brand or with the people there. Even though my main kit is now Sony, I still have my X100VI for everyday carry. Lastly, I picked Sony because it ticked all the boxes for me and my specific needs. I’m also not someone who jumps systems every year; prior to this switch, I used Fuji exclusively for seven years.
Why
For those new here, let me quickly summarise why I switched:
I wanted to experiment with other brands and didn’t want to be tied to a specific one.
I found myself moving away from the compact Fuji gear to their pro-level gear, which completely negated the size and weight advantage.
I found the performance and reliability of my Fuji cameras to suffer, from focusing issues to full breakdowns requiring repairs.
Many pro features that are standard in other systems seem to be missing in Fujifilm, and there appears to be a greater focus on hobbyists than professionals.
The overall build quality seems to be on the decline with each new model.
I found myself being overly reliant on Fujifilm’s colour science when editing. The first time I tried to edit Sony files last year, I struggled to get the colours how I wanted. I didn’t want to be dependent on one specific brand for my style and wanted to expand my editing skills.
I’d become known as a “Fujifilm photographer,” and I no longer wanted to be defined by the brand of camera I used, especially since I’m not an ambassador or involved in any commercial agreement.
From a pure business perspective, using different gear opens me up to a wider audience and gives me more content ideas, especially for blogs and YouTube. This is my livelihood, and while some people may feel this reason is a little “off,” I need to ensure I can provide for my family.
The biggest reason of all: I got bored. Just like you’d get bored driving the same brand of car every day for seven years.
Why Sony
While there are many brands out there, Sony offers the best overall package for me. The bodies are compact, and there is a huge choice of lenses, both native and third-party. Sony also has a vast range of APS-C lenses that can be used with a full-frame system in APS-C mode. Sony files seem to be the most neutral and require editing to get the best out of them. As someone who loves editing, this is a bonus. Amazing autofocus, comprehensive customisation, a vast ecosystem, and pro-level features are further reasons why I chose this brand. Finally, Sony just feels the most familiar to me, having owned and used their cameras before. That said, I’m not exclusively shooting Sony—I still own Fuji, Leica, and Hasselblad gear.
Shooting Experience
Overall, I haven’t noticed much difference in the shooting experience between the A7R and my old X-H2. I heard a lot of people say Sony cameras feel boring or lifeless, but so far, I can’t agree at all. In fact, the A7R is much more enjoyable to use than any other camera I own. It’s better than the Leica, Hasselblad, and Fuji. It feels great in the hand, and so far, I haven’t come across anything I really dislike. It is a little heavier than the Fuji, but not by much.
Performance
One reason I praised the shooting experience is that the Sony just works. This is the first camera I’ve used where it feels like it’s designed to get out of your way and let you focus on being creative. You can assign custom camera setups to function buttons, meaning I can be shooting in aperture priority, but the moment I press and hold a button, the camera switches to shutter priority and a specific shutter speed. Everything is instant—from the autofocus to powering on and switching modes. It’s nice not having to wrestle with the camera and being able to 100% focus on photography.
Camera Setup
This is where the Sony can get a little advanced and overwhelming. There are so many options, configurations, and settings that it can feel complex at first. I’m still in the trial-and-error phase when it comes to setup. Despite the Sony having extensive customisation options, some key features, like AF Lock, are missing—or I’ve yet to discover them. It will take months of continuous use to explore all the possibilities. This isn’t a camera that’s ready to go straight out of the box.
Image Quality & Editing
The image quality is outstanding on both the A7R and A7C. The images are sharp, detailed, and have ample dynamic range. However, editing Sony files is vastly different from Fuji, Leica, or Hasselblad. Sony files don’t have a look baked in—they’re very flat, dull, and very uninspiring straight out of the camera. The colours aren’t that nice by default, so you need to edit them quite a bit to achieve the desired results. That said, the files are incredibly flexible and can be pushed in many directions. Once you get the hang of it, these files make excellent starting points—assuming you like to edit. If you prefer results straight out of the camera, this system might not be for you.
Unexpected Quirks
My Sony experience has been smooth overall, apart from the A7C II overheating after an hour of indoor video shooting. When it overheated and shut down, the video file being recorded was corrupted. Fortunately, I managed to restore it using Wondershare software. I’ve read online that others have experienced this issue as well. Another quirk is the lack of some key features, such as AF Lock, and a few software inconsistencies, which I’ll cover in a separate blog. Other than that, the cameras have been flawless.
Challenges
The biggest challenge so far has been editing the raw files. They behave differently from what I’m used to, and I need to figure out how far I can push them and which adjustments to make to achieve specific results. My colours are still far from where I want them to be. There are no shortcuts, but I’m actually glad I’m going through this process because I’m learning a lot.
Regrets
I’m sorry to all the Fuji fans, but the only regret I have is not making the switch sooner. I can’t remember the last time I was this excited about a new camera. I’m thoroughly enjoying the shooting experience on the A7Rv. There’s honestly nothing I miss about the Fuji cameras. I’ve kept the X100VI as it’s fun for casual days out and everyday carry, but for pure shooting experience, the A7Rv is unlike anything else I’ve used.

My Little Photography Book is everything I know about photography in one concise place. This book is designed to save you time and share years’ worth of knowledge in an easy-to-follow format. Think of this as a workshop and a course in one affordable 300-page package.
This book covers psychology, gear, lighting, composition, storytelling, style, and a lot more. In other words, I’ve emptied my photography brain into this PDF. As always, keep in mind that this is simply my approach to photography, and everything I share is from my own experience.
The book is a digital PDF download and comes in two flavours. Two page spread and single page. The spread might be better for landscape viewing and printing, while the single page is more suited for vertical scrolling on a phone or tablet. The total download will be just over 100mb with each PDF being around 50mb.
This book has been in the making since mid-2017 and is by far my most involved project to date. This is also entirely done by myself from scratch. All the writing, editing, formatting, everything… it’s all me with no external input. I really do hope you like it, and as always, I welcome any feedback.

What on earth is this and why is this so expensive?!?!
A zine is a self-published body of work and serves the following purposes:
It showcases all photos from a given trip or period of time. Think of this as a digital contact sheet. I only share about 50% of the final photos online. This has them all.
It can act as a source of inspiration.
It can act as a visual planning tool for your travels. It will show you the types of photos one can get at said location.
Allows you to support my work, especially if the other products in my store are not suitable for your needs.
So what is a lifetime zine?
One payment gives you access to all current and future zines. You can download to store them offline, and even print them if you fancy.
As it stands, there are 39 zines published, and my first milestone is 100.
The price you pay today gives you full access for life, even if the price increases in the future.
One payment. No subscriptions. Lifetime of zines.
Digital… really?!
I can’t even imagine the logistical nightmare to print these and ship them to every corner of the globe.
Saves wasting resources.
Works out MUCH cheaper for you. Imagine buying 100 zines…
Formatted for tablets, phones, and laptops.
Makes this accessible to more people.
What’s inside each zine?
Between 100 and 350 photos.
Only the images, no writing.
Each zine focuses on a specific trip, location, or period of time.
When purchased, you will get a PDF document. In the document is a link where you can access all the zines. Each zine can be up to 200mb although I try to keep them closer to 100mb. This allows you to zoom in and see the images up close. However, due to this higher resolution, some older devices might take longer to load the images. For the best viewing experience, I suggest viewing on a device with a big screen, and if you have a choice between scrolling or swiping to change pages, I suggest scrolling for the best experience.

Instead of telling you how these will change your life, I would rather be practical and answer the most common questions that people tend to have when buying presets.
What are presets?
They are editing settings that are saved in a file and can be applied to any image.
Why do people buy presets?
Sometimes because they like the work of the photographer and want that style for their own photos. Mostly because they would like to see how other people edit and learn by reverse engineering the presets. Other times it’s just to support their favourite photographers, thank you!
What’s the overall style of these presets?
- Filmic
- Warm
- Soft
- Bright
What are these presets suitable for?
Street & Travel Photography
Some Nature (with further editing)
Some Portraits (with extensive editing)
Do I actually use these?
Yes. This is the same pack I use right now for all my editing. This isn’t a pack made just to sell.
Do these presets get updated?
Yes, as my style changes, these presets will also be updated. Any time a new update is available, you will get a free update via email. Of course you also keep all the old presets in case you prefer the older looks. Only presets purchased from 2025 onwards will receive the updates.
What file types are these presets for?
- All RAW files
- JPEGs & TIFFs (not recommended)
What camera brands are these presets for?
These were designed around Fujifilm, Sony, and Leica sensors. With that said, they will work with all camera brands. While there might be differences due to individual camera colour science, the overall feel of the preset will carry over.
Will these work with JPEG files?
Yes, but you will need to reduce the intensity and make further edits. I strongly recommend editing RAW files.
Are these one click edits?
95% No. You would need to do some basic adjustments as each image is different. These adjustments can include exposure, colour balance etc. In 5% of cases you can just apply and leave it alone.
Do I need to know how to edit?
You need to have a basic understanding of adjusting exposure, highlights, shadows, etc. A more comprehensive editing skillset will let you get the most out of them.
How many presets are included?
10 in the main pack and 24 in the extras pack
Why two packs?
The main pack is what I use for 99% of my edits and is kept small to reduce wasted time scrolling through presets. The extras pack is everything I don’t use often.
What software do I need?
These presets will work with any of the following:
- Photoshop (adobe camera raw)
- Lightroom Classic
- Lightroom Desktop
- Lightroom Mobile
Will these presets work with free versions of the above software?
You need to research and double check before buying. These presets were designed for the full paid versions.
Will these presets work with very old versions of the above software?
You need to research and double check before buying. These presets were designed on and for the latest software.
What file type do I get?
XMP
What else do I get?
- Comprehensive PDF guide
Can I modify these and turn them into my own?
Yes! In fact I encourage you to modify them and play around. Use these to help you get your own style.
