They'll roll out these FF NEX models with 3-4 lenses, low prices, and great adaptability, making them perfect for legacy lens owners.  With no IS, no AF and focus peaking to bring back the ease of...

You're clearly not the only one ... but given the vast number of photographers shooting with bodies without IBIS, you're in the minority. - Dennis

This becomes more viable on a mirrorless camera, where you don't have to increase the height of the mirror.  But your viewing device (LCD/EVF) has to be made taller or flexible enough to rotate...

I answered "just creepy".  The reason being how I envision the scenario.  Someone who doesn't come across as a working photographer, with an inconspicuous little camera insisting on photographing...

Anybody could go full frame.  It's smart to keep options open and not "rule things out".  Doesn't mean it's a twinkle in anybody's eye. - Dennis

There's definitely some merit to consistency. I bailed on Sony with the move to SLT and the endless dumbing down (moving the SSS on/off to the menu ?) Sony tinkers too much, making it hard to want...

I think the title of the thread and the OPs opening questions contributed to that.  Sometimes captions make a huge difference. - Dennis

I agree.  I like the concept, but don't think it succeeded all that well.  But I also think that I was jaded by the thread title and the OPs questions when I looked at it, and judging from other...

I remember reading something by another respected photographer, whose name I unfortunately can't remember - his opinion was that walls are best covered by paintings and other graphic arts, while...

OK, the color scheme actually *is* pretty amusing.  On first look, I loved the building, but the subjects in the doorway did nothing for me and I wasn't sure if you were looking to exploit a couple...

Not a big help as I'm on the east coast and have only been out that way twice (once to yellowstone/tetons and once to Arches).  In Jackson Hole, I recommend checking out Tom Mangelsen's Images of...

Ah, ok, I didn't pick up that you were looking at something that works in conjunction with EC for shooting in other modes besides Auto ISO in M.  Makes sense for some kinds of shooting.  I've...

I've never understood the limit thing.  What happens when you hit the limit ?  Does it then compromise your shutter speed or aperture ?  (That could be useful if you're the one deciding how it...

This is entirely down to the individual.  I see less pixel peeping (or talk about it) now that sensors are so good across the board.  But there will always be people with misplaced priorities. ...

It's the dependent variable and therefore indirectly controllable.  I think Steen Bay's "preferred compromise" is an apt term.  You're shooting indoor action.  You'd like 1/1000s and f/5.6.  Your...

I think there's a difference between "exposure" and "exposure settings" in this context.  You can be underexposing, but setting your exposure optimally, with the understanding that the act of...

My thinking there is: In low light situations, you're constrained by shutter speed and/or aperture; they dictate what your ISO has to be. In good light situations, at base ISO, setting an arbitrary...

Been there, tried that.  One of the reasons I switched from Sony to Nikon was to get this feature, after shooting ice hockey as you describe.  The problems with it are: 1. No usable preview for...

Hi DM - I take it to mean that Auto ISO merely sets the ISO, which compensates for the underexposure at base ISO by brightening the image.  And a brightness fine tuning dial would give you some...

OK, so ignore my reply to your prior post ... I agree that you're both optimally exposed in terms of your decision making, and underexposed in the sense that you can't put enough light on the...
