It depends what you want. Clearly Sony went for the most compact body going with Nex but a camera with the depth of an A mount cameras isn't going to be big overall unless you design it to be...

But given this problem has been solved surely it is a moot point?  I don't see Nex lenses or other makes lenses such as m43 being any cheaper than lenses designed for a longer distance between the...

I am not too bothered about AF.  I am about in-body SSS and having to buy another set of lenses. I'd probably own a Nex by now if it was a-mount based.  As it isn't, I don't.  And as they don't...

Why not? It is obviously possible to make a rangefinder style body with EVF that would take A-mount lenses. The fact the depth would be what it would be would not make it bulky. If I were a full...

Is it wide enough in diameter to accommodate a lens designed to cover a full frame sensor?

They already have a set of lenses that cover full frame.  The full-frame A-mount ones.  If Sony want to make a full frame range-finder style camera to bring out a third range of lenses would seem...

When did this happen?

I don't find the need to push the saturation on my A77 unless I am trying to compensate for dull lighting.  I use Lightroom and the RAW's look fine with default settings and the jpegs are fine...

"Also, you can't get more information than you put in, meaning that you can't create detail from blur."

That isn't what is going on here. They are using software to correct the lens's various...

What delay are you referring to?  The response time is quoted as 0.01 ms (milliseconds) or less. If you can detect that you have better reactions than any human on the planet given the average...

It's worse!  The text now runs right across the subject in middle of the image. I never understand why people bother with them.  If I was determined to steal your image I could still remove it via...

The only conclusion to jump to there then is Canikon are doomed ;-)

It proves absolutely nothing.

You are talking those previous comments of mine out of context but snipping the rest of the post. What I am objecting to is the false logic and pure conjecture used to try to justify a position...

If your lens is one of the older Sigma 70-200 F2.8's with a screw drive it should work with any of the currrent SLT cameras. If it is the latest APO 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM variant then it would...

Given if there is a compatibility issue this can be fixed by Sigma I don't see the point in going for an older body. Unless his lens is the  APO 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM it will work without...

The required information has been supplied to end questions about the A-mount and yet.... ....you still keep asking the same questions based on pure speculation. And this "The OP's post of a reply...

Well said.  I'd also add they have no evidence to admit never mind it being inadmissible.

Did he? He said this: "Thus, I suspect we'll see smaller DSLRs (but with the same overall thickness at the mount), but when Canon and Nikon DSLRs really go mirrorless, they won't change size in...

You can't consider that because they didn't say it.  It's a straw man argument (or false premise if you prefer) to argue against something by making up a fictitious position. Sony just said the A...
