Just typing too fast or too slow - at least astronomy and astrophotography is related. Worse if falling into the astrology trap! :-D

Had a look at your home page - lots of splendid work there. Get an idea about where the new camera will fit in. Some wishful thinking: Will most likely get this camera. Would appreciate a comment ...

Good to see that we have a loud (not worrying about not getting information about the new toy out there) beta tester in the stable. If feedback is promising one of those new and fashionable things ...

Did post a lot in this forum about the star eater issue when my A7 was new. Also have commented on gradients, problems with flat fielding and then some in this very forum, often posting examples. A ...

Had a look at the video and saw great locations, stunning scenes, lots of work (and fun) put into the project - and got a fine viewer experience. First class work. Also read the comments. Find it ...

Just decided not to buy anything from Sony as long as the star eater issue is not solved. Am a night owl and night sky photography is a big part of my photographic world. Have Canon cameras (modded ...

The star eater problem is gone her - just stopped buying Sony gear! :-D

Am using Canon cameras for night sky photograph. Use Sony cameras for my daylight work but plan to stray away from Sony now - the star eater issue is sinking Sony here. So no more Sony products ...

In my case, beeing one of the 5000, do not buy a single Sony camera or a single new Sony lens until the star eater issue is fixed - will rather stray towards another brand. The star eater issue is ...

The zoom mechanism just stuck - used the camera in every situation imaginable from hot to freezing and did not care for the camera at all (usually care for my cameras, but this little rascal ...

My situation look like what a few others describe here. Have the A7 FF and am waiting for the upgrade. Have the original RX10 (still working but a bit slow auto focus and limited range), had the ...

Thank you for pointing out this one - point is that having a screen aligned with the camera makes finding the direction with tele or macro lenses intuitive - no guessing. That is something very ...

Happens that people align the tracker on other stars than Polaris (easy to do if having glaring lights or trees partly in front of the polar area)...

There is a reason for Sony clinging to the flip screen - keeping finder, tripod collar and finder/rear screen on-axis. That is something extremely versatile and professional photographers know ...

The RX10III was absolutely fantastic - until it stopped working (hard pressed camera, just could not take it anymore - seems reasonable in this case). Unhappy when the camera transformed into a ...

If you are wise (assume that), go with the existing lens until you know excactly what you need (in my case the 4/16-35 do the work, would never trade the versatility of this zoom lens with ...

Am not located in the UK but still have to pay premium prices (similar level). But complaining about the price - well, if wanting cheaper just go for something else. Sony have also stated that a ...

Know this scenario very well! ;-) Truth is that my RX10III was my most used camera ever - and I got a lot of splendid images that no other camera would have brought back home (the RX10III was ...

Interesting post. Have to agree that the RX10 series deliver outstanding results - much better than a lot of us FF camera users are willing to admit. Might be so because snobbishness is clouding ...

Yes. Did some extensive testing with my A7 (star eater in bulb mode only) and the 1.8/55mm lens (which is sharp enough to show severe star eater defects). RAW and JPGs look pretty much the same ...
