I disagree with this. The right camera for such occasion warrants a LOT more than just very high ISO performance and A77 provides a lot of that. As for noise, as much as we seem to judge A77 in...

If you already have LR installed, start with "import". Once done, you should see thumbnails for the ARW files. Then go to Develop.

How did you try opening it in LR? I'm assuming you've not installed IDC (Software that must have come with the camera)?

I have done that for personal evaluation, and decision making. This was for my Sony NEX, whether to keep LA-EA1 or not. Same lens, same camera body, and two approaches: with SLT and without SLT....

IMO, the Sigma 18-250 HSM OS does its job quite well. The issues include slowness (but that is expected of super zooms and even kit lenses aren't any better), zoom creep (if you forget there is a...

That was an argument presented against cross-over vehicles in the late 90s and in favor of SUVs. And ten years later, the best selling "SUV" was a cross-over (Honda CR-V). I'm curious to see if...

The subject until now was... Live View.

Thanks! Here is another: This one is at f/8. Lighting was not very good and I was shooting handheld completely shaded by a mulberry tree at the top. Couldn’t go any smaller as shutter speed was...

Actually, you see ANY subject by virtue of light reflected off it. :D (Hint: you don't need a glass for it). And so is you capture. See... you've been photographing "unreal view". :D

I was simply going by YOUR claim that OVFs are better because EVF don't provide real view. An obvious inference to such claim is the opposite of your response. Have you EVER tried a live view that...

If you haven't seen any better. Really? How so? Unless you also want to get educated on eliminating distracting background. BTW, if I had a Live View of the kind that sucks (but you thing it is...

You're demonstrating a lack of understanding of what lag entails. You want to ignore much of it, and are fixated on only one aspect of it. BTW, you won't find me complain about EVF lag, because I...

Tamron 60mm f/2 (but it is the same FL, APS-C only) Tamron 90mm f/2.8 (the new version) Sigma 150mm f/2.8 Tamron 180mm f/3.5 (you've already mentioned this) Minolta 200mm f/4 (if you can spot one,...

Then your claim about EVF not being real applies to OVF as well (see above). Or, is it real, again, now?

It is terrible for someone who know what live view should be (Hint: my SLT is not mirror-less).

You want to add 0ms for framing shots? Then you might be the one who captures images without framing. Which might explain 2000 shots in 8-10 hours, everyday. :D Out of Camera JPEG was your...

Now THIS is a Live View... Also capably used for something like this... and this... ... and due to lack of nuisance afforded to it by a flipping mirror that OVF based systems rely on.

If the live view in a DSLR with OVF is the best you have seen, I might be better not arguing with you on the subject.

That makes it two things, by people who prefer OVF: 1- There is no difference between a view through OVF and their natural vision. 2- Their eyes have built-in meters that are similar to cameras.

Actually, Live View isn't a nuisance with EVF that it is with OVF. In fact, with EVF, it serves as an extension without giving up the benefits and performance.
