I'm more of a Coleco man.

You said those weren't dust spots, but there are dust spots all around the crows.  I counted at least 9 before I stopped. ;-)

Meh, it's a fluff piece with no substance purely made on the whim to get more clicks. (1) The first image comparison in the article is wrong (not the headlining image), showing a D5 next to the A99II.

In my nearly 4 years of ownership of the A700, I never had that issue. The coworker I sold it to didn't have any issues with it with the years of use he put on it. So while known to happen, I'm...

Since I count 7 lines (8 if you count the space), then there might be something going on with your connection. ;)

I don't know if I would be raving about the A750's picture quality or camera capability, but there is something to be said for its ability to make and receive phone calls.

This was my first DSLR. I kept going back and forth between this and the D300. But the Sony's feel in the hands, it's very obvious Minolta DNA (I grew up with Minolta), and it's menu all felt...

I'm happy to hear that things are in remission and you are getting back into the hobby.  I am also glad to hear about how well Gary still supports our community. As for being out of the hobby for a ...

Did you buy the lens new from a licensed reseller?  Have you tested the lens OS to see if it even works? From all of the images I have seen and documentations that I have read, the native A mount ...

Jealous... ;-) That's all I have to say.

So...is that a sunspot or the ISS photobombing?

Assuming nothing changed, you would think it wouldn't, but I have seen filters cause strange issues in the past where people were chasing their tale trying to resolve what was right under their ...

There are still some things you have not answered which I asked earlier: (1) Are you using a filter?  If so, remove it and try again. (2) Hav ...

Just a couple of observations and questions: (1) It would be a little more helpful if you provided full size shots. (2) While you do ...

Well, Sigma does make a 50-100mm F/1.8, which I would buy in a heartbeat to pair with my 18-35mm F/1.8  But, alas, Sigma isn't interested in making lenses for A-mount anymore, so they never even ...

You'll only find this lens on the used market.  Sigma doesn't make it anymore.

I'd highly recommend looking at the Tamron 70-200 F/2.8 USD as an option if the Sony model is too expensive.  It performs quite well for me.

Sigma does make the 18-35mm F/1.8 Art for A-mount.  I have one and it is my most used lens on my A77II.  Sharp wide open throughout the zoom range and bokeh is smooth.  Of course with a wider ...

I use Core Temp on my desktop, which I built myself and is overclocked using liquid cooling. Never felt the need to install it on my Surface since its running stock, doesn't run hot, and has never...

I can't really say how warm it gets exactly, but I don't find it getting as hot as my laptops did. I would say maybe as warm as an iPad, plus or minus. There are fans that run internally and you...
