"Unfortunately the a7r5 is not selling as well as Sony hoped it would. This exactly what happens if you keep the old sensor and assume other features will entice a7r4 owners to take the...

This is a real over simplification.

Look at some of the top end Sony lenses, they're smaller, lighter and better than the competition.

The issue is that in some circumstances and when used with some lenses shutter shock pushes you towards using the electronic shutter which in itself can bring problems in specific instances. Also, ...

It's a partial solution but causes two issues, rolling shutter and the possibility of banding under flickering lighting. Rolling shutter never bothered me but banding when shooting indoors did. The ...

I won't consider the shutter shock affected cameras again.

The camera very much reminds me of the old G1. I really liked that camera. One thing I'm not happy with with the G100 is not being able to change the main settings with near top of camera controls ...

Hi guys. Just thought I'd call in with the final chapter to the story. To recap and in case I missed anything out... I've been with MFT since the GF1 and currently have GX80, GX9 and GM5. I shoot ...

Thanks but as above, how come DPR files are fine when run through the same old CS5? that's the problem, none of this adds up unless it's an admittedly weird and possibly unlikely issue with this ...

There seem to be a couple of places showing the UURig today that I didn't see yesterday but I'll hang on until this raw file issue is clearer.

But if it's a software issue how come the files I downloaded from here are fine? I may be wrong and there may be something very subtle going on but there's zero barrel distortion in the DPR shots I ...

Hi again guys. Just to confirm a couple of things. I've updated the lens firmware and that made no difference. I'm using CS5 with the latest raw update available for that. I've had no issues with ...

Hey, no need to be sorry, people tried :D and I appreciate that. I didn't update the lenses (Oly 17mm f1.8 and Panny 12-35mm f2.8) as my theory is that if the work on my other three cameras they're ...

Thanks but I hit a problem and the camera is now going back. The problem is that with an Oly 17mm f1.8 I noticed that I was getting excessive distortion so I tied a Panny 12-35mm f2.8 and the same ...

Anyway... I decided to keep the camera and try and train myself to keep well away from the dial. I took it out today and I only had one instance of accidentally dialling in exposure comp so that's ...

I forget but you can't turn it off. I think what happens is if you do it default to mirroring what the top dial does. I have my rear wheel set to exposure comp and I thing when turned off it ...

Thanks again guys. I'm not a fan of taping the wheel down as I do need to use it for setting exposure compensation in aperture mode and shutter speed (or is it aperture) in manual mode. I don't ...

Thanks all for your help but it looks like there just no way around this back wheel issue I'm having so I'll give it some thought, sleep on it and make a decision tomorrow.

Thanks for helping. I only use aperture and manual mode and depending how the camera is set the back wheel either mimics exactly what the top dial does and changes either the aperture or the ...

I've just tried operation lock and unfortunately it just locks everything so that's not the answer. Looks like I'll be calling the dealer tomorrow and sending this back as it's just unusable for me ...
