Sony has been reported to be developing a curved sensor. If so, corner issues with FF, short flange distances and wa could be a complete non issue in forthcoming models

I have often noted the rarity of Nex cameras when I travel. Not any longer. I am currently working at Floriade in Canberra. Cameras everywhere. And lots of Nexii. Never seen anything like so many...

Yes, I was just going to suggest, both. There will be plenty of occasions when the rx is all you want to be carrying. Meanwhile, you will be exploring the mft and deciding whether you want that...

I am about to head off an a lengthy business trip and wont get much opportunity to add further to this discussion or reply to the many contributors. I have enjoyed the discussion and continue to...

I don't have a fixed point of view on this, but I am enjoying the discussion. All photography changes 3d to 2d. How well it does it is a different matter. Just as the renaissance artists learnt the...

Ok, but this is why I suggested that readers actually go and look at the images this software produces. Did you do this or are you commenting from what you think happens?  OK again, but is it...

Ok, I accept what you are saying about the restrictions on doing this in camera. Did you have a look at the actual examples using the software I referred to for PP? Here points can be set that...

Most (not all) responses seem to have argued for faster lenses for dof subject isolation, rather than Iq gains in low light. There seems to be wide agreement, especially from those that obviously...

-I really liked that image too. Sometimes you just can't beat B&W.-Mike FewsterAdelaide Australia

OK, if then the main justificaion for fast lenses is shallow dof, why not save that weight and all those dollars and do it PP? There are now some programs that can do it rather well.

Yes, I was aware of this and certainly on those slr cameras that focussed wide open and then stopped down to shooting aperture, focussing was faster with faster glass. I am not sure how far the...

I wasn't arguing against the value of dof, but I think the dof control available with a nex at 2.8 to 3.5 is pretty good. If I was shooting mft I would be more tempted by a faster lens to get...

The forum is full of wishes for faster lenses and complaints that newly released lenses are too slow. Do we really get worthwhile gains beyond about 2.8 and maybe 3.5? Consider the following...

Ahn Ahh, but that's a bit different. I consider the Fuji as a RF and then it's a bit bigger than what I thought you were asking for. I envisaged something like the Canon g line with their small ovf...

A large number of camera buyers want a camera that enhances their image. The figures (sorry, I don't have them at my fingertips) of dslr users who leave their camera on auto and buy no more than...

Very small ovf (necessary for a very small camera) negate all the plusses of ovf except one, they result in longer battery life. An ovf has to be reasonably large to give a useful view, especially...

The word "control" can be either a noun or a verb. What is really happening here is that some are using the word as a noun and some as a verb. The Op is correct in objecting to the use (in this...

Thank you Lightshow. That makes sense and is consistent with the difference I believe I see.

And I am not kidding. A 5n with the 19mm Sigma attached and another 5n or later Nex with yout longer lens of choice. The bodies are cheap enough and small enough now to make this a viable way to...

The OP question is too broad. Older FF v latest  Nex? Quality of glass? All the new sensors seem to be capable of better results that they give with kit level lenses. I think I can see more subtle...
