Sonny,
I have been advised to turn off GPS as well as Wi-Fi in my Leicas to conserve
battery life.

I’ve had/have several models of Sony A7 cameras, and the battery life is
short. The batteries for the earlier ones are small, similar in size to the
Leica M batteries. One of the life killers is pixel peeping, and another is
the WiFi functionality of the cameras. If you turn that off, you’ll have
decent but not great battery life. The doublebattery grip helps.
The newer models uses much larger battery and I go all day without a change.

It was disappointing.
The images from the camera (with R lenses) were very good!

YIKES!! Just 40-50 shots on a full battery? I feel cheated if my Oly only
gets 350-400 on a battery - with the electronic shutter, I can nearly double
that!
David.
I sold my A7II for all the reasons Gary E mentioned. I disliked it from------
the start, but kept it a year, hoping I would eventually get to liking
it. But the poor battery life (40-50 shots per Sony battery) did me in.
The newer models are said to be much better.

Thanks to all the responses to this topic. I've heard about the Leitax
option and do like its solid coupling to the the new mount of choice,
but since I still shoot film I still wanted to be able to swap quickly
between the two. And the Sony A7 was quite
tempting when it went on sale when the A7iii was rumored to be released,
but I've read about internal reflections, poor battery life and
cluttered menu which put me off to the body. I also didn't accept the M
or SL adapted option; mainly because it was cost
prohibitive. I never sold off my R collection hoping someday a better
solution than their own or than the Sony.
