A7s - backup with A7 or A6000

Viewr

Which body would you keep as a backup to an A7s, the A7 or A6000?  I'm going to keep the A7, just curious to hear what others would do and for what reasons?


None

I'm going to keep the A7, just curious to hear what others would do and for what reasons?I think either would be good depending on what you want.I started with an A7 and added an A7s and they go well together.If I had started with the A6000, I would think I would keep that as my second camera.I do also have a M4/3 Panasonic GX7 that I like as my smaller camera.I do think about getting rid of a lot of gear I don't/hardly use now and have even started thinking of just keeping the A7s and GX7 (I use Canon lenses in large part on both) and maybe letting the A7 go....but I do like the AF of the A7C in a FF mirrorless camera from time to time (not often but once in a while...and it is a lot better than many give it credit for).I do find I am taking the A7s out in the daytime a lot more though lately instead of the A7.I like working with the smaller files too as I can just email the A7s shots (one at a time) as taken but the A7 shots often need to be downsized....same for the DPR gallery.....A7 full size shots are too big.

Also, I found switching between the a7 and a6000, the dials and buttons took a bit of muscle memory reconfiguration.  It'd be nice when carrying two bodies to switch easily between both.  I think I'll probably come back to the a6000 again later on. Fine body.The a7s is a pretty, pretty cool camera.
