  • There are some for whom Sony currently does not provide any specific feature that is hands down better than the competition. They can switch brands in a proper moment and they won't lose much if...
  • You got many sarcastic replies. I will try to reply in a more serious tone. I have just few lenses - old Minolta and one new Zeiss, as I tried to not extensively invest into propriary mount. I...
  • This is a good point. If I remember correctly one must create account in order to buy software like Lightroom or PS directly from Adobe. I do not remember what credit card payment system they use...

  • I think you mentioned real issue. I also do not understand why, after spending huge sum of money, those that comissioned the sculpture did not ensure the sale agreement included all rights to its...

  • I find that reasoning flawed. Why should artists be specially protected? Noone forced them to sell their work cheaply. They could demand high price and potentially face less or no buyers. If they...

  • Yes, the trip was a long one. We started from Phoenix, went to Moab through Monument Valley and Moki Dugway. Then we spent few days in Moab visiting Arches, Canyonlands and Dead Horse and making...

  • There are few questions that arise after reading your post.If "something" better requires you to ditch collection of great lenses, acquiring which take you long time, is it really better?How do you...
  • I am not sure "investment" in the form of releasing A99 means anything more than trying to milk the market. This forum seems to look like 43 forum few years ago. Olympus released its latest and...
  • I would venture to speculate that all companies - Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus, Panasonic and Fuji, will release reports of falling sell figures of mirrorless cameras. Wasn't there a report few...

  • Additionally with a little patience one can get his latest and greatest A99 brand new or hardly used body (with few thousand actuations) on a used market for 2000-2100 USD. They surface quite...
  • I think sensor size matters. I use mirrorless camera solely as a body for old MF lenses. Smaller sensor means it is harder to find lenses with wide enough angles of view. There is always option of...

  • Commented on Camera shipments continue to fall news story

    Mirrorless cameras maybe the future of photography but if the numbers are correct it looks like consumers do not think the current crop of mirrorless cameras are the glimpse of that future. Report...

  • If you just look at those ISO settings then I do not think you should be worrying much if at all. I am shooting at 200 or 320 and haven't noticed any issues with noise myself. The 320 value I...
  • Replied in Scratch on LCD
    Do not even worry. It is like a first scratch on a new car just that you do not have to worry about the rust. What's done is done. The camera will still function correctly and most of the time you...
  • I think I agree with most of your points. I haven't yet bought the EVF only camera body from Sony partly because for the type of photography I am mostly comfortable with (mostly landscape...
  • I think I understand the advantages and disadvantages of EVF. I could go read laundry lists of both but what's the point? I already did long back and made my own decision. I also understand the...
  • why did they leave fixed mirror in their SLT cameras? If PDAF and on sensor AF performance is similar then why do people that own SLTs not remove that fixed mirror from the light path. I have heard...
  • I agree with your evaluation - especially considering the price it fetches on the used lens market. The haze you referring too could be caused by misaligned internal lens elements. This lens seems...
  • The difference was not just who started the war, although I would think this alone, being it unprovoked invasion, did grant Allies enormous moral advantage. Check the...
