Another journalistic exposé of the obvious. We all know such phrases are sometimes used appropriately and sometimes just because the sound good - "a cliché is a striking phrase that has been struck...

Although the current implementation may not support it, 5-axis movement of the sensor would allow it to compensate for any non-parallel alignment of the adapter. In theory fine adjustment of focus...

SAR reports that the immanent E-Mount FF cameras do not have on sensor stabilization.
Going back to FF has its pro's and con's, but without IBIS I am simply not interested.
Am I the only one that...

While this thread has produced some interesting discussion, I tend to agree with wasserball, only adding aperture and amount of crop to the variables.
Personally, I prefer to zoom, but find I need...

AFAIK ISO is only defined for jpeg.
Pre digitization gain is another thing, but that's for another thread.
As for "ISO" adjustment in manual - it would be a convenience, but one can always use A...

Based on the particle theory of light one could reverse the distortion. However this not the whole story. Lens imperfections could greatly increase the processing required. Also the wave nature of...

Firstly, ignore the 'official' statement referred to by the OP. That statements is of the "As far as I know.." kind and not even a "We currently intend to ... (but may change our mind later)" type...

Don't worry too much about gamma radiation. The reason it requires so much lead to shield from gamma radiation is because it tends to pass through matter without having any effect. When it does...

My cell phone - an older Nokia - makes a shutter sound, only its about half a second AFTER the taken shot is displayed. Weird.

As a A580 user am I supposed to worry?
I don't.
Firstly I have my NEX. Soon there will be all the automatic lenses I need for it, and for the things I do use my A580 for, manual is just fine, even...

The symmetry seems a waste of real estate to me - or am I missing something? There are too many reflections. Some glints are necessary, but in many cases they just get in the way. Glad to see the...

SAR does not appear to have good contacts for the Cybershot division and its cameras - no advance new of the RX1 until its started being sent to the distributors. So David's news may still be...

We have to get used to terms arbitrarily invented by the marketeers, and terms eroded by them.
"Bridge camera" once meant something - a camera which gave the user most of the features of a DSLR in...

I use RAW very little, probably less than I should. Now I have enough disk space, I should take RAW+Jpeg all the time. The import software can sort them out and I can ignore RAW unless I find a...

The Tamron 90 is a great lens. It stays on my A580 for macro while I use my NEX-7 for other things. It is a little heavy for balance with the NEX for hand held, but with the adapter tripod mount it...

Interesting.
There is a market for the QX cameras - the dedicated smart phone user who wants something better for something special (such as the new baby). How big the market is and how well Sony...

Queries about CP vs LP come up quite regularly.
I have both and find the LP to be superior. However, note that I only use - and only need to use - a polarizing filter in bright light conditions:...

I don't think that the downsizing to EVF or LCD resolution has anything to do with it - it may even improve things by eliminating fine detail such as textures. It may just be that using peaking for...

Newer lenses provide Exif 2.3 with the lens name (a long text description) and the lens capabilities (focal and aperture range). There is no indication that manufacturers are making any use of this...

This subject comes up rather frequently, but I suppose there are people who did not follow the previous threads.
My take on the use of filters for protection:
They don't offer much protection from...
