The lens question decides most purchases
A typical wedding kit is a 24-70mm or 28-75mm f/2.8 plus an 85mm prime.
- Sony: Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 G2 (about ₹79,000) + FE 85mm F1.8 (about ₹50,000).
- Canon: RF 24-70mm f/2.8 L (much more expensive) or the RF 24-105mm, + RF 85mm f/2 Macro (about ₹53,000).
Over a full kit, Sony is usually ₹50,000–1,00,000 cheaper for equivalent fast lenses.
When the R6 Mark III is worth it
- You deliver high-resolution wedding films and want 7K and the newest codecs.
- You’re upgrading from Canon DSLRs: EF lenses adapt perfectly.
- You want the latest AI tracking for fast-moving baraat and dance shots.
When the a7 IV is the smarter buy
- You’re building a kit from scratch on a budget.
- You want the widest lens choice, including Sigma and Tamron.
- You plan to add a second body later (a7 IV prices are lower).
