No apology necessary ;) Now where did I read this: If Focus Peaking is enabled, highlighting will be visible only if MF or DMF is selected. If the AF Illuminator is set to Auto, then assuming a...

I was just experimenting with the NEX-7 a little, and discovered that with the "FINDER/LCD Setting" set to "Viewfinder", that when the viewfinder goes dark when you pull your eye away from it (and...

There is a mistake in what I wrote there. Should be "If the selection you made in the menu is either AF or DMF, you toggle to MF" Sorry.

That makes perfect sense to me. I understand now why you would just like there to be a setting in the menu to simply disable the prefocus. (Never let it be said that I cannot be persuaded by a...

I strongly object to the uncivil tone of this and have clicked the "Complain" button. Specifically the use of the phrase "Uncle Toms" has strong negative connotations and is ENTIRELY out of place....

The technique he is describing is a useful technique that genuinely has the advantages relative to DMF, that he describes, i.e., not having to hold down the shutter button at the half position...

But, it was obvious upon reading his post that he was a real user just experiencing some frustration. A couple of people could have been a little gentler on him. It isn't like he insulted another...

In general it is valid to argue that the user of any device should be given the option to disable anything that they do not like. The exceptions are (1.) it would cost too much, and (2.) when there...

In fact, I have never understand what motivates people to come on forums and make comments of this nature. It is pure negativity. There is absolutely nothing in what I wrote that implies in any way...

Your comment is very, very strange.

THANKS, verybiglebowski! Earlier today I had placed an order on Amazon for the protector Sony makes. But it hasn't shipped so I was able to cancel the order and change the protector to this one,...

I'm a new owner of the NEX-7 and have contemplated whether I should buy this lens, as it is offered numerously on eBay by people who buy kit and then break it apart and sell the body and the lens...

I totally agree. When you see all that this camera is capable of doing in such a small package, you cannot help but wonder what an amazing camera it would be, for Sony to do something similar with...

Yeah, I've seen the comments about the screen coating wearing off, and I need to get a screen protector right away. But I can't figure out which one. Evidently there is a nice glass protector made...

Yes, as you point out, the ISO value is displayed at the half-press of the shutter. It occurred to later, after I wrote that post, that this would likely be the case, and I confirmed that it is....

Hey Mike, I too think that a few people were perhaps too hard on you. It is normal to experience frustration when first trying to sort out a camera that is different from what you are familiar...

The differences in sharpness that you are seeing at the head are ENTIRELY due to a difference in focus. The prime lens is focused at a slightly greater distance than the zoom. At the lower corner...

I will be having lots of fun. I haven't enjoyed a camera this much since I first got my Canon A-1 right around thirty years ago. One of the more desirable lenses at present seems to be the...

Without question the lack of a viewfinder of any sort is a major drawback to the RX100, and is the reason that I would never consider it. At the very least a digital camera needs a tunnel to look...

I purchased an NEX-7 about a week ago. Typically I expect that with a purchase of this sort, that as I learn more about it, I will find the warts, and the love affair will gradually wane. With the...
