Upgrading from the Sony a7 III to the Sony a7 IV

Why the Sony a7 IV is worth the extra $500 for videographers (especially wedding professionals).

In Spring 2023, the a7 III costs $2,000 and the a7 IV is $2,500.  Here are the features that make the upgrade worth the money (or if you are buying a second camera and not sure which to buy).

-  4K at 60 frames per second

-  Unlimited recording time.

-  33 Megapixel photos

- 4K 10 Bit recording

- Improved electronic viewfinder: 3.68m-Dot EVF with 120 fps Refresh Rate

iPhone 4 vs iPhone 4S

The big improvements with the iPhone 4S are:

• Siri (personal assistant)
• 8MP Front camera and 1080p video (was 5MP camera and 720p video)
• Dual Core Processor
• More talk time (one extra hour of talk time and one extra hour of Wi-fi).

Buying an Electric Scooter

The e-Zip 750 (made by Currie Technologies) is the best scooter I've found under $400.

As of today, Amazon sells it for $334.19.  The normal retail is $449.

Scooter Specs:

• Speed up to 15 mph
• Range up to 12 miles (depending on rider weight)
• Constructed of hi-tensile steel; extremely durable and forgiving
• Front suspension allows for smooth turns and absorbs the bumps in the road
• Motorized folding with seat; great for getting around quickly and can be easily stored 
• Brakes: Front disc brake with power modulator and alloy brake inhibit lever  
• Drive: Chain drive; patented Currie Electro Drive system 
• Weight:  60 pounds

Other scooters I've considered.

The eZip 500 is only $250 on Amazon, but its range is only up to 8 miles.  Even this lower model is still made of hi-tensile steel.
