  • .... For the last ten years I've bought my cameras, lenses and most accessories on the Internet ( mostly B&H or other major store ). Unfortunately salesmen ( either on Sony Stores or most other...
  • Replied in SLT -1/3 stop?
    .... I had the patience to read this whole thread up to here. This subject has been debated countless times on this and other Forums, so I was curious on what was different now. Actually just more...
  • Replied in Epidemic?
    .... OK! I've just found mattfreed's thread about the same exact problem: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3391660 and his video on youtube showing...
  • Thanks, that's more like it, at least now it doesn't look like it was a unique failure! I'll keep trying some other tricks, but it would be nice if there was a "hard" reset way. Unfortunately, I...
  • Hmmm.... I guess not!
  • .... I'm glad to see that the RX100 is a really flawless camera, since nobody here seems to have experienced at least a similar problem to the one I described on my post! Anyway, I'm still hoping...
  • Created discussions RX100 gone bananas...!
    .... Hi! I have an RX100 I bought at B&H back in Nov. 2012. Fantastic camera, I hardly leave home without it! My DSLR's ( A900 and A99 ) are being used a bit less than before, and I'm really...
  • IMHO we may be seeing Canon cameras with Sony sensors in the future...!

  • Commented on IMG_7888 photo in dpreview review samples's photo gallery

    Looks like an excellent lens! I wonder what Sigma will come up with to replace its very good but aging 24-70/2.8 EX HSM! Anyway, it's a shame Tamron sells the Sony mount version without VC for the...

  • Submitted a challenge entry Midget Bug
    That's a tiny beetle I shot trying to hide under a leaf. It's length is about 6 mm. The leaves "fur" give an idea of the shot magnification!

  • Submitted a challenge entry Sword Strength
    Looking for bugs for some macro shots, I spotted this amazing scene, where the needle-like palm leave stuck through the large and thick leave of a neighbor plant. Funny that none of the other "needles" made it, only one!

  • Replied in evf or lcd
    .... It depends on what‘s a "final" lmage for you...! If it‘s an unprocessed RAW, it could be anything you want to make it look like after pp, if it‘s out-of-camera jpg it‘s something else, which...
  • There's plenty of excellent image editing software on the market, although the long time Photoshop has been available makes it hard getting used to another tool...! I've been testing most of the...

  • Looks nice, I‘ll wait for it to available also for Sony A99 and Android!

  • .... Wouldn't that be great? IMO when all that is achieved, there'll be a real potential cost reduction. I also believe we buyers will nor perceive that right away because there'll still be...
  • I have the Minolta 100/2.8 Macro D, and my A99's  AFD works perfectly with it. :-) Always having fun with photography :-Phttp://www.lucaspix.smugmug.com/
  • IMHO Sony is just walking the path they said they would years ago: pursue a less "mechanically" dependent camera body, with less moving parts, by introducing state of the art electronic solutions....
  • Both Pen EPL-5 and E-P5 seem to be very nice new cameras, though not at the Sony NEX-6 level. I'm not really a big fan of retro design.

  • Ramjager, piracy will not terminate. Whoever rents Adobe's cloud will download the latest full version of Photoshop CC, and that copy may always be cracked just like the latest CS6 sold.

  • .... I just don't get it... are you trying to find some self-assurance on your decision in selling it or in having bought it in first place? Or is this just an urge to trolling? Either way, this...
