The ZS50 is included in the 2015 compact cams round up. Yu will find there ratings from owners. I personally do not have experience with the ZS50 - while the specifications and features look very ...

Gerry: this your image is very beautiful, well composed, very delicate in color and lights. Simply perfect! Chimere

In addition to what Gerry says, I would like to add that an image becomes more attractive if you can frame into it two (or more - but do not over do it) subjects, all of them relating to each ...

What did you really learn from taking all these pictures you post here ? Experimenting with your hardware best makes sense when you have a plan, a sort of a mindful strategy. Otherwise you might ...

With the focus mode knob in position "A" I have the same experience with my Sigma 105 / 2.8. Switching the AF mode into either "C" or "S" the range limiter works as it should, except the distances ...

This does not relate directly to your issue: after several months of use the IBS of my new A77ii stopped working, with message "send in for service". A fluke ? Anybody else had that happen ? Unfort ...

Whatever the cause might be it certainly is not a design flaw. Big difference. Chimere

Have done quite a few panoramas with my A77ii, with a similar lens, without any sort of trouble which would call for my attention. I usually have one or two failures until I find the proper speed. ...

Mark: remarkable what is done here. With the strong distortion the two overlapping areas of the adjacent images would look hardly identical on the joining edges. Yet the software merges the images ...

I wonder which kind of emotions prompted you to that remark - most likely not very honorable ones, nor intelligent ones. Commenting, discussing, controversial but ultimately insignificant hardware ...

Not much can I add to what has been said already. Your Photos are decent, there are things you did right, but lacking is the "extra" to make them "outstanding". Especially the first one is "bland" ...

Parv: Buying the A77ii with the 16-50mm / f 2.8 for US$890.- should be no brainer. Just that lens - if it is the Sony original & is in good shape - will sell for some $450.- on e-Bay. I would take ...

My A77ii - brand new - does not have that odd behaviour. Perhaps yours got forced when first not being aware of the new design. Law might not be a big issue, but it would create some discomfort to ...

Tom: actually the Eye-AF could be on by default when face recognition is turned on. Who wants faces with the eyes out of focus ? With a software option that could be turn off. And there would not ...

Thanks, seems to me that your option - the DOF preview button - is the better one, at least for myself. Chimere

That very useful function can be only activated via a designated button. Since there is no "toggle" option for Eye-AF, one must press that button continuously while shooting to have AF focused on ...

Can you explain, with a few non-too-technical terms, how the information stored in this dots is read out and transmitted - over a few conductors only - into the CPU of the camera ? How look the ...

Since I spend most of the time reading, drawing, working on the PC I would prefer to have glasses for long distance vision, for out doors activities - have used glasses for it most of my adult life. ...

Very interesting post: thank you for that. Chimere

Thanks for that tip, in deed a very good site to keep an eye on. Chimere
