Neither of those is a database of lens serial numbers or a clue to decoding them. I'm also looking for info about Minolta serial numbers.

I'm asking myself why this is significant, but I'm failing to find any answer.

My question is similar to the original one, except that I cannot now get a new A58, and there is now the A68. Does anyone have any thoughts on which of these cameras represents the best buy?

I think it's really good for an old design. The other day when I was looking at something I'd shot, I noticed some purple bokeh, and was interested to see that DPR also saw it when they reviewed ...

Well, it doesn't seem as if old reviews are being deleted. It was the Sony re-brand of the Minolta lens which was tested. Odd that there was no link to it in the page for the Minolta 50/1.4, but ...

Hi. This site works very differently from the way it once did. I actually posted the question on the page for a Minolta 50/1.4 A mount lens for which there was, I think, once a full review. I see ...

Does the site now delete some of its old reviews? I'm almost sure there was in the past a full (staff) review of this lens on the site.

My impression is that there exists in the US a much greater culture of telephone support than we have over here, where it is really very, very difficult to get to speak to someone knowledgeable. ...

Based on my previous telephonic and other interactions with Canon UK, I deemed that very highly unlikely to bear fruit. In any case, there is no way on earth that it should be necessary, even if ...

I no longer use the Nikon system and have no experience of your lens, but AF systems are usually specified as having a requirement of somewhere between F5.6 and F8 as a maximum aperture. A few ...

I eventually did what I have almost never done before with this kind of tech problem and gave up. As far as I could make out, either there is a setting somewhere in WIndows and/or in our wireless ...

I have a feeling it might not have read 2Gb cards.

Does anyone know, or is there any meaningful information one the web, re the  history and different versions of these converters? I think they may all be the same optical design as a Tokina 7 ...

No, I had in fact assumed that people were listing cameras as "for parts" only when they felt them to be defective.  Doubtless my assumption will cause shock and horror to those who perceive it as ...

I tend to do a lot of browsing of ebay listings and the difference in proportionality of notionally working/not working used cameras seems rather extreme when I look for Sony A series versus, for ...

I actually wasn't looking for an argument, just for an opinion. Never mind. All the best, and thanks for your review and input :)

Thanks to the OP for the good review and back-up. Only the size and price of the A68 stop me from immediately getting one to supplement my A37, and I was glad to see that Sony are producing it. One ...

That sounds like relative success! Well done! I've pretty much given up with my attempts to make the camera send files to the computer, I'm afraid.

I have a strong hunch that I am not the first person to suffer these issues with Canon WI-fi-equipped cameras.

I mean the Lumix 20/1.7 and E=PM2 combination.
