I second this. Even if you take the trouble to pack your gear carefully, your luggage will be searched and re-packed. You can get bags that will allow you to carry some extra items in addition to...

Just so you know, the jpeg is created from the raw file. The raw file is the image data as taken by the sensor. The jpeg is a compression of this data. So if you need to correct things such as...

What are the actual prices you're looking at? One compromise could be getting Sony 16-105mm f/3.5-5.6...--Good luck and happy shooting!

Before you start adjusting things make sure you have a problem in the first place. You don't have to automatically adjust every lens you use. You micro adjust them when you're having front or back...

Because all other NEX cameras are e-mount...--Good luck and happy shooting!

I think the 16-50mm is one of the best lenses in the Sony DT line-up. It's weather sealed, has a fast and silent SSM AF motor, has an f/2.8 constant aperture, and is compatible with DMF (which also...

Used maybe, brand new they're $800 by themselves...--Good luck and happy shooting!

In my experience with the A77, you should be fine up to 800 ISO, but I find that 1600 is still usable. 3200 and maybe 6400 with NR in PP.The object tracking mode does well when there is a bigger...

Point and shoots can have f/1.8 max apertures too. To minimize the hit you take in low light performance, you need one with a larger sensor and max aperture. Something with an APS-C sensor like a...

Also, you may end up waiting till next summer or fall...--Good luck and happy shooting!

Well, the is no guarantee it's coming. But if it does, maybe on sensor PDAF, mirrorless, 32mp sensor...--Good luck and happy shooting!

What he said...--Good luck and happy shooting!

Just testing it out now, I was able to take a single image by pressing the button quickly in continuous Hi. Haven't been able to repeat it consistently, but it is possible. You could just practice...

I love my A77 with the 16-50mm f/2.8. I think for the price it's quite a capable camera. You might want to get something like the 35mm f/1.8 (about $225) for shooting in low light such as concerts....

I have an Sony A77 and love it. I think it has some pluses over the D7000, but then again the D7100 would have pluses over both. It really depends on what you want to be able to shoot, or what...

Getting a zoom and a prime is not a bad plan. As someone else said, I would go for something like a 35mm f/1.8.  Nikon has a crop factor of 1.5x, so a 35mm lens will give you a view equivalent to a...

With my Sonys the self timer is in the drive menu. The camera stays in whatever drive mode you set it at until you change it, whether or not you turn it off and on. --Good luck and happy shooting!

You missed the while point of what I was saying. I was outlining a concept not giving manufacturer specific figures. The numbers were purely hypothetical, but the concept is the same. Anyhow here's...

" nobody's floating hair-brained notions that all Sony cameras are being retired, or that one chain's in-store stock alone is cause for concern."Actually the OP is trying to make exactly that...

Sorry, that should have read "have you had a chance to try any?". Weird auto correct. The passport sling is available at best buy and walmart. The more backpack-ish sling seems small too. From...
