That's not going to happen anytime soon or in the future. Sony can at times show talent and ability, but this market is quite unique and you have to really nail things down and deliver a level of...

Not sure as of yet. I did manage to get some compensation out of Sony for the issue, and a lens that arrived in the new camera and bundle, this has effectively covered the cost of the...

A few points.
Wireless flash isn't a high end feature it's on every other makers model range in this price segment. I have 35mm film SLR's that have it.
Auto FP/HSS is standard on every DSLR...

Should have a metal mount IMO it is quite a fragile plastic Nikon use. As a lens I had quite a good copy, but that lens mount is a weak point. And the annoying rattling hood. Nikon did cheap out...

Too many limitations on these Nikon cameras some of which are quite important.
No Auto FP/HSS, no wireless flash, no DOF preview and basic live view mode.
It's also a shame about the small...

It doesn't make any difference electronic first curtain or not. It's def not a lens issue. It's not the SLT mirror. Sony don't deny it happens they just say all CMOS sensors do this and the camera...

I've not seen it before bar the shots I took so I'm thinking this was an oversight or some revision of the sensor and this slipped through. So far I'm not seeing a big angry mob of Sony users, so...

Thanks I've seen that but will have a more in depth look at it now. It's almost the reverse of the problem here, though I get this issue even before pulling the shadows up. So far I've not seen...

I'd imagine Fuji might update the firmware here, well we can hope they do. My pet hate is over aggressive NR on jpegs.

Thanks for the response. I've seen it on smaller sensors from time to time and mobile phones too. But obviously this isn't either of those and not something that has turned up on my search...

Agree 100% many of the choice MS made were ill informed to say the least. There was nothing stopping them allowing users a more Win 7 experience for desktops and laptops, but instead ignore the...

Have to say the Maxxum 7 still rocks the boat for me it's loaded with (useful) tech and just delivers across the board, handling is great. Some kind American sent it to me as a gift and it's been...

Yes I have The research I've done on-line suggests this was a problem much more associated with CCD sensors, as above this shot was quite notably overexposed using the older 6mp Sony CCD in...

Just to clarify things...well the effect can show up at lower ISO levels too. It depends if the difference is enough between the light and dark areas (ie a dark room with a lightbulb won't show...

Sony are basically saying: Thank you for your response. As we have previously discussed the SLT-A57 camera is not faulty and the green lines which you refer to are a result of the very specific...

Interesting though! Sony eventually decided to replace the camera and sent me a new one The new camera showed the same green line sensor blooming issue as the first one. I again contacted Sony and...

I'm talking about a very popular s/h lens the beercan sells for very affordable prices on ebay. The 70-210mm f4 isn't as heavy as the f2.8, but it's not a light lens. There are a large number of...

But there will be plenty picking up s/h gems like the popular 70-210mm f4, not exactly a light lens either so you want to use that on your A58 I wouldn't like to myself So let's forget this $2000...

Everyone using A mount knows the number line up has been consistent for ages even back to Minolta days 3 super budget 4 budget 5 mid level/upper entry 6 bit over that 7 semi pro level 9 pro level...

So sensible that everyone else offers full metal mounts across their range! So how about that one then? It's only done for one reason..cost. Sony have cheaped out to save a few pennies. Even...
