Maybe what the OP really wants is that Fuji x10, with a good OVF.
-
In that case, go right ahead. I can't imagine any advantage your a580 has over a good old-school a900. The a580 has a newer generation of sensor, with less noise-- but it needs it, because you...

Does that happens consistently? Is it apparent this apparent to anyone else who handles the camera? If so, send it back for repair-- this certainly doesn't sound normal. The X20's VF, same as my...

Given the large size of this honker, I'd rather carry my smallish FF camera (Sony a850) and a conventional lens. Might as well be a prime, with this scant zoom range. Still, it's an achievement...

Thanks for the advice. If I was using the camera, I think I'd wander off into the weeds of M42 lenses, since I already have a good start with two choice Takumars, the 50/1.4 and 135/2.8. A 300/4...

Thanks for your pertinent advice. The canon SX50 does get fine reviews. If I'm hesitant about Canon, it's because of a recent experience with a Canon G12. I was trying to explain the G12's menus...

My dear wife, God bless 'er, has taken up a new hobby: birdwatching and identification. Her first "Big Year" has brought her into the dozens after only a few months. She likes to photograph new...

Some folks have reported good results after spraying the wheel with a small amount of electrical contact cleaner. I should do that with mine, but it doesn't get much attention since the LX7 arrived.

Thanks for that review. Their test picture on LOW shows notable DR improvement, while STD and HIGH just add contrast and look identical to each other. Weird.
They didn't test a sequence of shots,...

One problem persists with my beloved LX7. I use it heavily for virtual tour photography, shooting panorama elements that need to be consistent and uniform to stitch together convincingly. When I...

Take Ken Rockwell, for instance. Or take him away, but few can just leave him. He may be the most despised camera blogger in the English-speaking internet, but he's widely read, too. Personally, I...

Short answer-- yes. It's an excellent little camera. By all accounts, including mine, the IAuto fully automatic mode works very well. And you're not likely to outgrow it, with that fast lens. the...

Sorry to disagree with everyone else, but I do this for a living. I've used plenty of the relatively few alternatives, and i've settled on the Sigma 12-24, on a FF Sony. Works well for me, after...

Dateline, Chicago-- The Sun-Times today announced the layoff of its entire editorial, composition and printing staff. The newspaper will now be published as a Facebook page. "We won't be bound by...

I just found this review, years after the world moved on to other things. But somehow I can't resist a response. First, it seems odd to criticize the x10 because its menus deviate from the...
-
I don't need another one, but let me put in the good word. This a great lens, compact and very sharp. I wouldn't be without one! And that's about half what I paid....

I've owned about a dozen Minolta AF lenses, and kept nine of them. All give wonderful results, on full frame, and all are stabilized, thanks to SSS. So using old outdated lenses is very much the...

I'm using the x10 on a tripod, so I'd need a bracket that has a useable tripod socket. Got any suggestions? Unlike portrait photographers, I do not want much separation between lens and flash.
I...

Nice review!
The saddest thing is, we know Sony can get the ergonomics right. Any owner of the A700 or A900 can vouch for that. But the greatest flaw of those cameras was the NIH factor-- Not...
