USB 3.0 card reader.  It's much faster than connecting a USB cable to the camera plus it doesn't drain your batteries. As for extra wear and tear on the memory card, I wouldn't worry about it so ...

You are right.  When I was initially doing some research on it, the description alluded to just being a subscription model.  What the decription did was separate the subscription and standalone ...

I believe that Office 2013 was one of the last versions you could get as a standalone version.  It was offered as both a retail standalone packaging as well as a subscription model, the beginning ...

Yep, I said I might be wrong. ;-)

Maybe I am a little confused by your statement, but when the A77II was introduced it brought along with it a brand new designed AF sensor. Of course, this AF sensor has since been slightly updated ...

The day they open that capability up to allow 3rd party lenses to take advantage of it (along with the multiple point MFA) will be the day I rush an order of the A99II to be sent to my house, no ...

With the newest models, the optical formula has changed.  The older 272 uses 11 elements in 9 groups optical formula while the two newest models use more glass with 14 elements in 11 groups.  The ...

It was late and I was tired when I was posting, so I didn't crunch my own numbers. I simply just reused the numbers someone else posted before me. I thought it didn't look right, especially since ...

The lens is great, just expect it to only cover a cropped portion of the full frame sensor since it is an APS-C lens and, thus, will have a smaller imaging circle.  As such, only about 8MP of the ...

Aside from taking away less than 1/2 stop of light, the mirror itself doesn't impact image quality, at least not at the resolution the A77 has along with the fastest lenses available. You'll need a...

It might help if you tell us what version of Windows you are running.

Turn off EFCS and see if you continue to have the same issue. I went through two copies of this lens on my A77II and went back and forth with Tamron support a few years back with this specific ...

Probably so. I recall the service center had to wait almost a month for the parts to become available and ship from Japan. They didn't receive the parts until February 2011 and I didn't get the ...

That date is around the time I had my lens shipped off for repair.  That may explain why it took almost two months to fix my lens, waiting on the new parts.  My repair form never went into details ...

I recall that rumor as well.  If it was done, there certainly wasn't a revision change to the modeling to determine what's the improved model.  Of course, being that it was only a more reliable ...

It's a Lavazza ad. Comes up pretty quick doing a web search. Google "Lavazza ad spoons model".

As such, I think this image should be disqualified/removed and most likely violates someone's...

It would pair nicely with my 18-35mm F/1.8.  If I end up sticking with APS-C, I would definitely buy one. Shame, that they couldn't eek out a little more focal length, say to be a 50-130 or 50-135. ...

Not exactly. 14-bit files do have more to lose, but 12-bit files can be affected as well. But it is usually only noticeable under areas of extreme contrast difference that are being pushed a great ...

I think you are exaggerating the compression a bit too much.  Compression in the RAW file isn't the same as compression in the JPEG. JPEGs from the A99 range from being around 8MB up to around ...

You may or may not need a new computer depending on what you currently have.  What I suggested is under the idea of if you are looking for a new computer, the specs I listed would be a good place ...
