You're right. LOL, I very much like the new features and new sensors and I want to upgrade my Sony A850 to Sony A99ii. But US$3200 is OK but a little painful for me (I just retired). I don't know ...

Hoya sells an ND for solar (ND100000) but it's 16-3/5 stops.

Going from A700 to m4/3 won't make a big difference in photos, but photos will be a little bit better. The m4/3 camera will be lighter to carry. I think new features like focus peaking and EVF are ...

Not really. The RX100V is all about 4k video and speed! speed! speed! The improved sensor offers 1/2-stop improvement in noise compared to your RX100. If you'd like to have a look around at the ...

Sensor tech has advanced a lot since the A700 but the smaller size of the m4/3 sensor (compared to APS-C) cuts that back a bit. The net result, as Ido says, is about a 1 stop advantage over your A700.

That's pretty relative. Faster than a P&S/cellphone? The more expensive cameras can do that, no prob. The DSLRs (and SLTs) probably still have an edge Oops! That crosses DSLRs (and SLTs) off the list.

Wow, that's extreme. The Sony CX440 has a 26.9-804mm lens (35mm equiv). To cover the area in question @2 ft distance you need a ~127° angle of view. Theoretically speaking, that's a ~9mm lens (35mm ...

Screw up your courage, walk up, politely ask permission to take their photo. Very hard at first but it gets very easy after a while. I might say something like "May I take your photo? I really like ...

I don't own the lens. Until an owner stops by you could check out the Dyxum page on this lens. This lens was on Sigma's firmware update notice in 2011. It needed an AF firmware update for ...

I guess you guys haven't heard of Sony Multi Frame Noise Reduction? That was first included with the Sony A55 in 2010 and has been working it's way downward to smaller sensors since.

We've had a few questions on equestrian photography in the past. There seems to be outdoor and indoor events. The outdoor events can be easily handled with a typical 70-300mm or longer lens. Just ...

For some strange reason Samyang Optics market exactly the same lens under many different brands (Vivitar, Falcon, Rokinon, Walimex, Bower, Opteka, Bell and Howell, Polar, and Pro-Optic). So go by ...

I checked the histograms for all three photos. I found the blue channel was blown in photos #1 and #3. This is probably why the plate has a slight cyan color cast on my monitor for #1 and #3 ...

Expected behavior, common question. Answer is set "Setting Effect" to OFF.

Check out the Tamron & Sigma USA websites. Tamron calls them "All-In-One Zooms", Sigma calls them "Multi-purpose Lenses". They're made in a variety of camera mounts - so that's why I said you would ...

You can come live with us. If this were pizza I would marry you. Seriously, you've come so far. The lighting & WB is so much improved. On my monitor the plate looks a little blue and too bright - ...

Sony currently sells 3! versions of this lens that will fit directly on your A6000 (SEL18200, SEL18200LE, SELP18200). Make sure you're aware of the differences and get the one you want. If you want ...

I've had this idea in the back of my mind for some time, but it just covers "too bright" and "too dark" photos. If you want an all-in-one analogy for everything - maybe that's too much. Take your ...

The International Space Station has a Sony A7SII mounted on the outside of the Japanese KIBO module. The camera was vibration/radiation/whatever qualified and the engineers did have to include ...

One of my local stores had a Sony A9 "Event" which included a Sony Rep. I attended but the Rep was totally unable/unwilling to give anything besides canned answers to my questions regarding ...
