I know exactly how to use it thanks. I can just recognise people will soon tire of the effect and that at $200 for some very simple engineering and basic "optics" someone has worked...

@Scottelly. I can easily make an argument for 24mp v 16mp, the ability to crop a little more but even if I could not and we were being coned into buying 24mp, since when did two wrongs make a...

Does anyone ever see images like the ones in the sample gallery ever being critically acclaimed anywhere else?

I mean here on DPR they have the "lens" and shoot with it but that does not mean it...

They aren't "promote(ing) something they are developing and working on with high tech".  They are promoting using A-mount lenses on E mount bodies and adapters as the way forward for A mount ...

Shame they didn't include Sony A-mount version.

Several recent Tamron lenses that have been available in A-mount are stabilized in the non-Sony version but not so for Sony. So even if they just...

"Nikon users can attach their F mounts lenses onto this new machine"

Directly or via an adapter? If direct why a different mount at all and why build any mirrorless specific lenses?

I suspect...

The problem with Nikon doing what Sony did and launching a new mount for mirrorless is what this means for the existing dslr lens mount and also whether or not you should sell your dslr lenses and...

Got to agree with black pearl. The fact you can check now because the technology is available is not the point. The point they were making is no one cared and also worn out shutters are rare.

I have ti agree with you. I was poking around the Sony Alpha web site the other day and it is absolutely clear to me they see one of the A7 models as the next camera an A mount shooter should acquire.

(Just noticed after posting this the thread has been revived after FIVE years, not sure why but I willl leave this post here anyway) Not entirely sure what you are asking here but if you set the ...

"They are probably hoping that f-stop cheating is still a thing? Who still believes that f/2.8 is f/2.8 regardless of sensor size?"

Sensible people who expect for a given EV and ISO setting their...

I can't remember how much my Billingham was but I do know it would not have been anything like just over half the price of the camera. I would never have bought it had it been so. There seems to...

I am pretty sure when Nikon first launched this system it was derided for it's small sensor with the perceived wisdom being they went too far with such a small sensor.

Fast forward to 2018 and...

I think they are about the same on my 105 Sigma macro.  For some reason I prefer IBIS.  The lack of a stabilized VF image has never bothered me.  The fact it's not stabilized has me holding it as ...

$999 for a tripod? When did tripods suddenly become as expensive as a decent dslr camera?

I am showing my age but when I was buying Olympus OM2's and OM4's a tripod was a relatively cheap...

Here are some of the Bristol Blenheim id just finished the dreaded spot removal process with!

There you go, the roar (shot on my phone so the aircraft are quite small)
