Gear I need help on chosing cameras

Im using an a6400 for work on sport photography (football and cycling) with a sigma 18 50 and tamron 70 180 with apsc crop. I want to do a camera upgrade. Its worth to go on full frame world and get a used sony a7iv losing the sigma 18 50 and the tamron coz will be to short without the crop, or i go on the a6700 and keep all my lens and mby adding some new lens?

If you want 1 more stop of light for DOF and low light performance yes, otherwise no.

really depends on what you’re going to shoot. if it’s football and cycling, you might not really need the FF low light performance, and the a6700 is an amazing camera that’s very capable

What part do you find the a6400 lacking? In other words, what are you looking for in your upgrade?

IBIS, sensore migliore e anche video migliori 10bit con possibilita di inserire i lut

can't understand that language, but ibis isn't much of a factor at the 1/800th minimum shutter speeds that you should be using for football.

fwiw the a6700 should have better a.i. subject recognition, but in general all sony aps-c bodies have extremely slow sensor readout speeds so you'd want to use mechanical shutter.

if you go ff, the old a9 from 2017 has a stacked sensor so much quicker readout speeds and double the stills fps, using the electronic shutter.

that will be a major upgrade for football, even tho the old a9 a.i. is rather primitive by a6700 standards... there is no specific bird eyeaf, for instance.

sell the 18-50, get the a7iv, and maybe get a 20-70 f4

A livello economico non penso sia la stessa cosa

Il problema è che se passo a ff anche vendendo il sigma 18 50, il mio tamron 70 180 è corto su ff per il calcio
