@pannumon: f/11 can be of much more problems then focussing. When you do wildlife, light is often not great, so you need to use higher ISO settings, this will decrease the image quality. Or you...

These special lenses are mostely used for wildlife and sports. these are done under not to good light most of the time (like in a forest, or during a cloudy day).
This will result in higher ISO...

@Class A: Yes some lenses for mirrorless are as big as their DSLR counterparts, but there are a lot of great mirrorless lenses that are (a lot) smaller then their DSLR counterparts. Look at the...

@fPrime: You are right a Volkswagen is boring and a Lambo is exciting, but when we look in the streets we see more boring Volkswagens then exciting Lambo's, Why?
The answer is simple: The Lambo is...

@Pentaust: You are following a myth! Large sensors are not superior for image quality at all! When you use a high quality lens on both systems and you take pictures with lenses with roughly the...

$2699 for a lens is a lot of money! It is expensive indeed. And yes it is a very good lens sharp from corner to corner! But why? Most of the times the corners in a portrait are not very sharp, due...

Yes it is a clear statement indeed: We are becoming the brand for the very rich people. We forget the people at the low end of the financial spectrum.
I've seen rumors for f/11 lenses and other...

@pentaust: Nobody can tell you what to do. First thing you must think of is: Am I willing to spend $3500 (that is the price for the RP and the 85mm f/1.2) just to have that one lens. And what if...

People telling that a camera must have (much) better IQ then an smartphone to make it doesn't understand the market. The IQ of our smartphones is better then most people need or want, when the IQ...

But when you find small scratches on the front element or dust inside the lens you can pay less for it, use it as longbas you want and sel it again. The resale value compared to the (lower) price...

@RubberDials: The effects on IQ are so small that most of the people using the camera did not mention any defects and LR only found out about the problem after doing measurements on the flange...

@!padam19: Will there really be more of this kind of fails when the reason this happens is because there is a small number of mounts that has manufacturing faults? Will there be more fails when the...

I don't think you are particularly lucky at all. I think people with a broken camera are particularly unlucky, I do not know how many cameras you had in the past, but I guess less then 100. So you...

RJ74: Wrong! They tested ALL Sony cameras that had a large deviation for flange distance. In the end only 1.6% of all Sony cameras (tested and not tested for fractures). Not all Sony cameras with a...

@zxaar: In fact they can tell them something new. When you read the article well you will see that none of their customers had really any problems with their cameras, other then partly out of focus...

@RJ74: I had two Sony cameras with a problem. Well one was the Minolta 7D that got the first picture black problem. Long after the warranty was over it was fixed by Sony. They replaced the faulty...

It is possible that the A9 uses a different mount, as it is a more professional camera. It is also possible that there are sme problems with a batch of mounts, bat material, problems with the...

@RJ74: Did you have a camera with a broken mount and was this the reaction you got from Sony? Or is this what you THINK sony will do?
@Thoughts R Us: I remember the reaction from Nikon when they...

@RJ74: /No other rental camera has fractured IBIS sensor mount component/
Did they test one other brand with IBIS for this? Have you information about that. Remember the other brand in this article...

@Thoughts R Us: And telling others didn't hae the problem, could it be that the others didn't have IBIS (Canon) or weren't tested (Nikon and Panasonic)?
And could it be that other brands had...
