The problem with reserving Gold rating for only a few cameras is: The great cameras are all released at the same time.

Which is exactly what happened when Sony changed the design of Nightshot in an attempt to prevent people from using it to 'see-through' light-weight clothing in sunny weather =...

My impression was:

1. People were leery of lasers being shined in their eyes, when having their pictures taken. Sony could claim - till they were blue in the face - that there were no harmful...

But you wouldn't be using something heavy - like a 70-400mm - without support (to prevent "hanging" that weight on just the camera's mount). So all the adapter has to do is make a tiny adjustment...

I'm thinking they are primarily establishing a larger body-size E-mount than existing NEX, so that they can add internal features in future upgrades.

Since NEX bodies were originally a very...

Its like why Harley Davidson & Jeep keep similar-looking models for decades = it is what people expect.

Remember the year - 1987 - that Jeep put square headlights on the Wrangler YJ - nicknamed...

No problem, at all. I threw that together before going to lunch, and added the part about it being "off-the-cuff" because.... that is exactly what it was. :) I was hoping people would patch any...

Brief, off-the-cuff, history lesson on video formats: AVI = older/early format for playing videos on PC. Only useful as an output format if sending to someone with an 'ancient' computer... i.e....

Something Sony tried with the Mavica cameras - as the popularity of those floppy-based cameras waned - was an adapter which allowed a memory stick to be placed in a floppy-sized adapter.

I believe...

EDIT: I'm glad I haven't tried to follow all his posts, over the years - as it shows he currently has 33,768 of them. :)

And its telling how much a pain in the butt negative/slide scanning is = people would much rather throw money at a digital back for their favorite film SLR. :)

Good to see links to some of Joseph Wisniewski's posts.

I always read his posts, if I see them in a thread.

I hope WiFi access has feature-parity with NFC = because I wouldn't want it to be a requirement to have the "camera" attached to the phone to have full-control of the camera.

Agreed. That was the first thing I saw in the OP's post i.e. "The whole point of mirrorless cameras is to keep the size smaller..." The whole point of mirrorless is to get rid of the SLR-mirror....

Nikon charging dSLR prices for Nikon 1 - while making sure it doesn't have feature-parity with Nikon dSLRs - is not a good decision, by any means. Thom Hogan gives a good analysis of...

A future NEX - with on-sensor PDAF - won't need an SLT-based adapter [e.g. LE A2] to drive AF on A-mount SSM lenses. Unless you _really_ want a screw-drive motor in the adapter... :) But if you...

While I like the idea that the 90-degree rotation allows the continued use of existing sensors & displays - while eliminating the need for L-plates for tripod shots [or the awkward rotation of the...
