similar with car safety rating. a 5 star rating of a 10 years old car is different to the latest car 5 star rating. standards and technology improvements are always changing.
92% score of similar...

local distribution has cost. the cost of running a business has cost. these would differ from one place to another.
Anyway, Sony would throw in rebates in time plus the local stores do offer...

Lens is not just the optics... There are other aspects i.e. AF drive etc.
Pretty sure the newer one is better in all aspects apart from price.

not the begining, I would say a good fix. they did begin with DFD only FF with a huge price but they now know what the masses want. good AFC and cheap.
How silly were they not to check the market...

i don't think Sigma can produce those L lens and sign up to the L alliance without funding. Where is the money coming for the DN... its from E mount.
Sigma and Tamron wouldn't have come this far...

I have been using Pana m43 and FF cameras (about 6 camera models), I don't see S5ii any great. so could you tell me why S5ii is so great?
Just don't tell cause Pana implemented PDAF. There are more...

follow your lens

24 mpx is alright. larger Mpx means more noisy files at higher ISO. if you only have one camera, 24 to 30 mpx is a sweet spot IQ vs. noise balance. not to forget, the larger file size of those hi...

no reason, this displays are near useless. might as well use that space for physical aperture rings with marking.

the display on the len is near useless. they can display all those info in the camera like others. the higher end cameras has 3 displays, make use of those.
I would prefer Nikon to use that space...

does making a metal mount is really more costly than plastic mount. how much of cost does Nikon save?
i just don't like this plastic mount irrespective of how good the lens is. there is limit in...

what is special about DFD in combo with PDAF. unless you want that special effect like the flickering effect in the background.
there is nothing special about DFD. Despite all the effort, DFD...

the regular reviewers... you shouldn't fully trust them.
Especially with statements with words like 'ever'.

missed opportunity with GH6, Pana should have used a sensor with PDAF

i guess on certain conditions the DFD is used and in combination... similar to Sony hybrid AF

alliance and licensing are different. Alliance partners share technology. can't see Tamron getting on board L mount alliance unless they're willing to share their technology. Sigma and Tamron...

My mistake, I should have specified FF. I don't pay attention to APSC cameras with the exception of Fujifilm.
L mount has 3 prominent lens manufacturers who work together and formed an alliance...

Current Canon and Sony AF is hard to be. But I'm sure Pana would catch up. they're usually pretty good with AF related updates.

it has a built-in fan. can't expect it to be any smaller than those bodies without fans.

Same here except m43. I dumped that system years ago.
I did try the S1, nice camera but the same story with AF. But the IQ out of that sensor was good. That sensor was Pana design. I suspect the...
