Sony is getting ready

In your OP, you used pictured that were not your own, but are/could be copyrighted by someone else (and without attribution to the source). You might want to read up about the Stop Online Privacy Act (SOPA) bill going through Congress. If this bill were to become law, it could be possible that the owner of the copyright to the pictures, could cause the Dpreview site to be blocked.

It's a stretch, but is possible if SOPA becomes law.

Contact your representatives in Washington D.C., and tell them to oppose SOPA.

With 2012 being Photokina year and the year after the Thailand flood, the Nippon tsunami and the sort-off still unfinished release of the a65, a77 and Nex7, CES January 2012 may be more than just a bit early for major new Alpha announcements.

My guess is as good as anybody elses.

Sorry but this does not mean you can just take pictures and copy/paste them into another context at your will! I find it fully O.K. and do not mind your so called fan-boyism as long as you do stop constantly taking pictures from other websites and posting them here. Post a link instead! Sorry but this really upsets me as this happens to my pictures regularly...I have found landscape images of mine in political magazines with which I no affiliation whatsoever. They were so kind to print my name under it, but frankly now I am connected to some political opinions that might not be mine in the first place.

I am sure if you read the fine print of the web sites where you steal the images from that this is NOT allowed. I do believe you really should look a bit closer into copyright laws...

to steal someone's work, as long as it not worth much. Do you go into a supermarket, and eat the loose grapes, and some small bits of candy, as long as it's below a certain price level? Do you have kids? Do you teach them, it's wrong to steal, unless it's only a little bit?

Stealing is stealing. You're a petty thief, not a master criminal. At the very least, attribute the source of the pictures.

If you read the Terms of Use correctly, I think you see that Sony, by posting on Facebook, is granting Facebook certain rights to Facebook (they are the Company). Facebook can sublicense the rights, or use the contents for their (Facebook's) purposes. However, there is nothing in there that states another user of Facebook can just grab what they want, especially without attribution. The poster of the pictures, in this case Sony, still holds the copyright and ownership of the contents of the page.

Now, if you or BMWX5 can post a link to where Facebook authorizes anyone to use the contents of what is posted on the page, my original statement stands.

BMWX5, thinks that just because the pictures are on the public section, that he is free to do what he wants with the pictures. But, that is not what my read of the 'fine print' tells me.

Not sure what calibration settings you refer to as being missed, my 52HX903 gets no complaints from me, and I've used their Profeel series sets previously.

Does not have 3D color management system like the Samsungs, does not have 10 point even 20 pt grey scale calibration controls. So in essence you have little control if you are trying to nail the TV picture to the broadcast standards like for instance ITU rec709. Currently the Tv with reference colour is the Samsung D8000 plasma. Have one of those and love the picture each day I switch it on. I also like to view my pictures on the Tv sometimes and what a joy with all that reference color
