There is one other difference that might be important to some people but irrelevant to others. The F20M can act as a wireless controller for Sony-compatible flashes that operate using Sony's optica ...

I wouldn't be so sure unless you tested your other lens at very small apertures, like f/22.

That's the only one of your group where i can see 'ghost' reflections. They look precisely like what one would get with a clear front filter attached. If you draw straight lines through the ...

Before we can grasp what we finally know, maybe that word makes needs clarification. Then we can examine some other questions: Who makes the supporting circuitry in the camera? Who makes the LCD? W ...

Yeah - interesting that a 'common problem' is pretty much unknown to users like us in this forum who have been around for years.

Not if you're shooting at maximum aperture. There's no way that the sensor and electronics in the VI can overcome the more than one stop difference between it and the III at the wide end. If you ...

It's the socket on the Sony camera that's different. The socket has more contacts than a standard 5-pin micro USB socket ... but it is still compatible with standard 5-pin micro USB cables and ...

It's incorrect. I don't know what you mean by the crowd. The 70/30 split (equating to 1/2 stop light loss) has been well documented going back to original Sony SLT patents . Here's one place where ...

That's wrong. Ordinary 5-pin micro USB cables do work with Sony cameras for normal functions like file transfer and battery charging (confirmed with my HX90V and RX100III). However, they of course ...

Aside from the inherent oxymoron of rear sync in combination with HSS ... how would you be able to tell the difference in a result when the longest HSS speed with that camera is faster than 1/250s? ...

More accurately, it's 1/2 stop (30% reflected vs. 70% passed) ... but that's still pretty inconsequential. I like to say it's the difference between ISO 100 and ISO 140.

There isn't anything inherently robust or non-robust about the various flavors of USB connectors . The thing that matters most is how they are secured through the circuit board that offers them and ...

I dunno ... but they usually make us suffer for it.

If you have the same field of view, you have the same potential for blur no matter what the sensor size is. Various camera weights, bulks, and form factors can influence your ability to hand-hold, ...

That's the distinction. Each person decides what particular period of time passing without a new product will trigger the conclusion that A-mount is done. For some, it could be a year or two. For ...

We're talking about micro USB. And no, Sony's Multiport connectors are rather different and special, with 15 pins occupying both sides. Remember when we discussed that? Still, they shouldn't be ...

Absolutely. There's always the option to pay less and get less.

The question that is constantly asked, month after month, thread after thread, but cannot be answered. It will continue to be constantly asked, month after month, thread after thread, until ...

I saw the review (and quoted from it). I'm sure the OP saw it too, which is the only important part. I don't have a stake in this. All I know is that the lens meets the criteria he has established ...

Sort of? It very much does the macro bits. In any case, the OP only said he wants a close focusing wideangle, which this is. I guess the summary covers DPR's opinion: Things we like: (1) Very close ...
