I took my A99 + 70-300G to Shiloh National Military Park in Hardin County, TN yesterday for a test drive. Although I still  prefer my a580 + 70-400G, the results don't look too bad to me. Yes, I...

Excellent. I particularly like the short eared owl on the post.

You can name/rename folders and image files to suit yourself. Then the folder's name will show up in Folders panel on the left and you can click on it to see the images in that folder. Is that...

Thanks for the advice. I went with the 24MM.

And that's too bad.  Not only are the Nikons on sale, but Nikon and Canon are pushing their full frame camers in big box stores around here now. Sony hasn't seen fit to offer a kit lens with the...

I woke up this morning to see that 1001 Noisy Cameras is showing Nikon D600 kits and D800/D800E bodies being sold at significant discounts. So, please Sony, if you want the a99 to be adopted by...

Thanks to both of you. I have the 70-400G. Do you have any other recommendations? I will be using the camera in Alaska next summer and, based on my past experience, The Land of The Midnight Sun...

Getting to the point, I am considering the a99, but I need to be as light as possible. What about these two primes? I used the a900 and CZ 24-70 f/2.8 for two years, but I eventually sold them...

Okay, I retract what I claimed if you can confirm that the GPS works outside of cell phone range/ -- Ken Daves

No, They have a GPS chip that works with cell towers and WIFI hotspots, not with satellites. -- Ken Daves

Any number of devices will let you create tracking that can be matched to Raw files but not write it to the file's metadata. Some programs will let you create/edit .xmp "sidecar" files that can...

Do you mean that iPhones have "real" GPS receivers, ones that can receive signals from satellites rather than from cell towers and WIFI hotspots? That would be big news and even Apple has not made...

I didn't mean to step on your toes. I did read your post, but I thought that the OP needed to know that the raw file aspect ratio is not actually changed when the camera is set to16:9, but a crop...

The 16:9 crop ratio is just a crop overlay that is exported with the file. The raw file still has all the data you need. It has been several years since I saw this and I no longer have IDC...
