Some excellent points there. I really shouldn't limit myself to one adapter. At least, not normal adapters. Speed boosters are another story though. A point of clarification: I am looking to do...

I'm looking to build a collection of old manual lenses to pair with the Sony NEX. I know I will need an adapter and am also willing to invest in a telecompressor (e.g. Metabones). What lens system,...

Found this in warranty manual for Sony television: "This Limited Warranty is transferable. However, any transfer of this product does not extend the term. A copy of the dated receipt or bill of...

Kudos to DPreview for dinging them on the video. The single frame rate and paltry bit-rate in a high-dollar camera with such capable hardware come down to nothing but neglect.

A better video codec...

Would love for DPreview to do a story on the fake mechanical shutter sound that Sony has snuck in with no option to turn off. Publicity around this may be the only way to convince Sony to release a...

Good news for everyone. More momentum behind IBIS. And pressure on Olympus and Fuji to beef-up the weak-ass video codecs they hamper their cameras with.

Maybe you can take a break here and go comment "No shoelaces" on every velcro and slip-on pair of shoes on Zappos?

thanks for clarifying.

Curious matt_boy, what "build issues"?

The original draft of the press release read, "This refresh of our classic lens features a different model number and release date."

I don't like marketing-tactics masquerading as technical...

Right - cosmetic refresh so that it seems less odd being paired with a newer camera. I don't like this marketing-driving tactic. Let's hope it doesn't become like the auto industry with a "new"...

Should we care if it doesn't have X-Trans CMOS II sensor? Does anything even have the II other than the 100s?

This seems to be a general concern. My only rebuttal, is that they already do this now. They sell crippled products to force you to into a higher class camera now, or new camera later. All this...

Right, more controls. Two dials and this thing would be mine.

Wha? Focus peak, HDR, and button assignments are can done by firmware? Bitsy bytes? Me photographer. Me no care.

Not interesting for film photographers. You sir, should be aware that you camera is based on bits and bytes.

Imagine 24p and 60p video on their 5-axis IBIS cameras! Eventually the public will wise up, and not be content with the camera they have, till the camera does everything it truly can.
