For me the new autofocus engine is a game changer. I was considering buying the VI a couple months ago but I suspected Sony might be coming out with an update and in this case I'm glad I waited.

To my surprise what the RAW conversions showed me is that Sony's JPEG engine is actually *really* good, at least as far as detail retention vs. noise reduction, exposure balance, etc. Some of the...

As best I can tell they still have way too many now-largely-irrelevant autofocus options, and what they removed (focus limiter) was actually a useful feature that *augments* their new improved AF....

People *already* use bracketing to achieve higher dynamic range in post with dSLRs. There is no real difference in outcome between doing that manually with current tech, vs. doing it automatically...

Here's the problem with literally every one of your arguments: these things are all *being done right now with phone cameras*. There is *nothing* unique about these sensors that makes it a better...

As for IBIS, I am actually suggesting that computational photography techniques could be used *in addition* to body or lens stabilization, not *instead* of it. If you have e.g. 5 stop IBIS, you...

See, the difference between us is I'm not claiming you're being scammed by "big camera" or otherwise uninformed or an idiot. I'm just saying I think there are benefits to a particular technology...

Wow Carton. You really misconstrued my post, well done. I did make an error and say cell phone "marketing" when I meant *market*. Can't edit my post as far as I can see, so oh well.

I used the...

Not bad. Now let's have a 32" 4k version. *That* I would buy.

I'm just damn happy to see some actual innovation in the full-frame market. It was nice to see Nikon and Canon finally join the mirrorless market, but those were clearly catch-up products (slightly...

Waterproof housings are bulky and not very ergonomic. So I personally would very much like a properly waterproof portable camera, it doesn't have to be "pocketable" by any means. And I'm not saying...

Not everyone who likes underwater photography also wants to go SCUBA diving, i.e. below 18m. The majority of waterproof camera users probably aren't doing SCUBA. Is it reasonable to say they don't...

What an epic badass. The photos really help establish the crazy challenges of his work. Fantastic!

It's stunning to me that the only manufacturer doing 1" sensors in this space is a tiny company no one has ever heard of. Why isn't Sony absolutely owning this market with a waterproof/"tough"...

Yeah... this confirms everything I find obnoxious about Lenny Kravitz. Well done for living up to your stereotypes good sir.

If we didn't have the ridiculous yearly (or more frequent) phone update cycle, we might have been able to skip the entire stupid "notch" cycle entirely. It is obvious now (as it was at that time to...
