I bought the new Sigma 50-150, used it for a few months and then sold it. Focus was so far off on my copy that it couldn't be corrected with AF Micro Adjust. If I used live view, it focused...

The Sony thing is not a big lens that uses the small sensor in the phone. If the rumors are true (and they seem pretty likely), the lens has its *own* sensor--the thing is a complete camera--the...

AF performance on the NEX-6 is mediocre by D-SLR standards, but it was one of the first mirrorless models to have hybrid AF (both contrast and phase.) The hybrid AF works better with some lenses...

These are great. I spent hours zooming and panning when the London one was published. Now I guess I'll get familiar with Tokyo.

That's a thought, NetMage. It wouldn't have to be TTL, though--I'm using Profoto strobes, not TTL compatible speedlights. Anyway you're right that I could run a synch cable from the camera, but...

And the difference in size between MFT and APS-C isn't negligible. It's not as extreme as the difference between APS-C and full frame, but it is noticeable.

I'm not sure I'd say the MFT has a "much better" range of lenses. There are some good ones. I played with the two new Zeiss lenses available in E-mount and they seemed excellent. In any case a lot...

That tiltable EVF couldn't be used with anything mounted in the hotshoe. I do some tabletop product photography in the studio, and there are plenty of situations in which I would like to look...

Yeah, okay it doesn't have a mic input. On the one hand, most people who are trying to get really excellent audio would use a separate digital audio recorder anyway. But on the other hand--it seems...

Peevee1: Okay, to correct myself on a very, very minor point: the Pentax K-01, Sony NEX-6, Nikon D7000 and many other cameras at various price points all use Sony-made 16MP APS-C CMOS sensors. The...

Gully, I didn't say it was the same sensor as the Fujifilm, I said similar. Same approximate IQ and resolution, same physical size.

As I said, Richard, I have a lot of cameras. I have no interest in a K-5, because I have a Nikon D800 at the moment that is better in every respect. But I bought the K-01 because it was something...

As I said, Richard, I have a lot of cameras. (Too many, according to my wife.) I have no interest in a K-5, because I have a Nikon D800 at the moment that is better in every respect (except size...

Yes, I've done the firmware update. AF might be a little better, but it's still Contrast-detect-AF only. DSLRs with Phase detect (and mirrorless cameras with phase detect AF like the Sony NEX-6 and...

I have a lot of cameras, and only bought the K-01 because it was on clearance --you can currently get a K-01 kit in the US for less than half MSRP. The reviewers were right that this camera has...
