Barry, thank you for that insight. Based on all the feedback
I have so far, I will just continue to have my sensor cleaned
and use the A900 for now. Revisit the situation when new models
are introduced to see if it makes sense (for me) to get one that
new fangled gadget.

Sury I was thinking about picking up an A850 or A900 they are quite reasonable now price wise and I have an extensive no. of full frame lenses if you have any thoughts overall I'd be glad to hear your views. I know high ISO isn't amazing but I've seen usable to ISO 3200, I have 2 up to date ish crop bodies I pondered picking up another but then something like that might be a reasonable idea too. A99 is just too pricey for me right now

What I am going through is a Model(s) fatigue. I read how the latest models have improved
so much in so many different areas and get tempted to upgrade but the sensible side kicks
in and tells me not to bother; since lacking all the touted improvements did not prevent me from
enjoying my cameras for my style of photography, which is shall we say shoot first and talk later style.![]()
I am a perpetual amateur that likes to take photos of all kinds.
With the lenses and accessories that I have, I have no desire to switch mount. What I am struggling
with, is the ennui that comes with using the same gear for a long period of time.
Some recent temptations were: A7R, A6000, A99, and eve A7S.
Tried QX10 and HX50V as toys and use HX50Vas a travel companion.
Other than the obvious suggestion of buy a new body or lens any insight(s) or suggestion(s)
to mitigate my "existential angst" is/are most appreciated.
With best regards,
Sury
