  • A330, A77, A99 and an RX100. Never had an issue, never sent anything in for service. 18-55, 16-50, 55-200, 50mm f1.5, 50mm f1.8, 35mm f1.8, 85mm f2.8.  My only complaint was the 85mm not being...
  • Replied in Tamron 70-300
    It's a great lens. Not so much Better than the cheaper Tamron, not as good as the SP version yes I guess that depends on how closely you zoom into each of that 24,000,000 pixels to inspect.
  • I was on the original wait lists and got mine in Nov 2011, that just shy of two years. Were you aware of how long the A700 was out before the A77 was released? New hotshoe, not exactly well...
  • The "view" through a 50mm lens on an APS-C camera should be comparable to the view through a 75mm lens on a full frame camera. Because 50mm is almost the exact same as 55mm. No. You're smaller...
  • Replied in Wow!!!
    It's likely got one of the best camera's out there.  And the phone works really well as a phone. But there a bunch of other things that aren't quite as polished, straightforward and useful about...
  • I have an older Case Logic back pack that had the camera "suspension system" on it. It didn't work too well with many lenses once I grew beyond use of the kit lenses. It often seemed to grab the...
  • I had a camera that did not support support auto ISO in M mode. It also incidentally had a quirk that never opened the aperture up past f2.8 or so (maybe f2, I forget) in S or P modes. So, shooting...
  • So, it was near perfect conditions for the camera, maybe if the sun was slightly diffused and a reflector was around to full in under her hat it could have been been improved on. But it's a lot...
  • Replied in My Experience
    I was having all kinds of problems like that with my Samsung Android phone before I switched to a Windows phone (Nokia Lumina). I'm not a big fan, lots of things that Andriod phone did do easily...
  • "A Mount is Saved"  - The whole discussion was started under that title.... I still don't really understand what this dock does? And why each mount's dock would be that much different, it would...
  • Generally, for most intent, as well as I remember it, and those parts support the point you refuse to understand. Sorry I'm don't more fully document generally useless "historical" facts. OK, not...
  • I'd kinda echo that sentiment about the older Minolta flashes with the standard shoe. But beware of the 4000 AFs, they have a power saving mode and shut themselves off every 15 minutes or so,...
  • Betamax and minidisc were open standards introduced to the market by Sony.  When no one else adopted them, after years of effort by Sony to push them forward, they were eventually dropped. A mount...
  • Check out the information on...
  • If someone bought one of my images (ya, right, that'll happen...) I'd be thrilled if they'd show it to there friends!!!! But apparently, they've decided to leave that part out, you know, FAIR USE,...
  • Are they going to put the updates in Picasa? or is that abandoned?

  • I've never seen a bird quite that color, so I've sure there's something a little off, but the background looks, ok, I think, as far as the exposure. The shutter speed of 1/10 doesn't look like it's...
  • Canon, Nikon, Pentax, etc. Do you think Nikon's is really noticeably better? The D600 oily shutter rumors actually makes me think they have worse build quality than any competitor. Why would...
  • I had an A77, bought an RX100 to fit in my pocket, upgraded to an A99, and decided to sell the A77 to get an NEX-6 (currently shipping). I'm also 6'3", over 200 pounds, an really like cargo pants,...
  • I went from an A330 to an A77 to an A99. The A77 is a lot like the A99. The A99 obviously is full frame, and does not have the pop up flash. The A77 does not have Auto ISO in "M" mode. There are a...
