Man as a Sony shooter I'm still waiting for Tamron to release some traditional fast primes like their DSLR 35 1.4. I will take some 1.8 fast primes as well.

Damn, I was hoping for something like 35 1.8 and 50 1.8. So disappointed.

Also, eye-AF works with third-party lenses.

@Collie Camp There are no IN-DEPTH reviews yet; please read my earlier comment more carefully. People like the Northrups, Fro and Chris are currently flying over to actually do full testing on the camera. So yeah, take your time to realize that.

Oh dear! Someone's already starting to jump into conclusions before any reviewers actually have a chance to even use the camera in-depth and provide in-depth reviews. Don't you think it's too early to have a conclusion? It all sounds good so far indeed, but the launch is a marketing presentation—if that doesn't make you like the product, it would be horrible marketing. But that marketing is nothing without people (who have no ties to Nikon) reporting their real life experience.

I will patiently wait for all the reviews to come.

I hate to admit it, but I'm kinda unhappy that Sony doesn't have a 1.2 prime. Makes me wanna switch already! Good job Nikon.

Okay, everyone has different gear needs and different preferences, of course, but, as a happy owner of the 31L version, here are my two cents for those who are on the fence about this backpack:

It is not really meant for a full-out gear-carrying backpack; instead, it's more of a hybrid backpack where you can put your everyday items or travel items AND a decent amount of camera gear. On top of that, it provides you very easy access to BOTH of those things. That is something a full-out camera backpack can't give you.

It's best for street photographers and travel photographers—basically people who will always be having the backpack on them when shooting, as opposed to people who arrive at the location, put the backpack down, get the gear out, and start shooting without bringing the backpack with them.

I use this backpack to carry school items and everyday items (books, lunch, binders, clothes, laptop etc) and my camera kit (A7III + Voigtlander 40 1.2 + Sigma 85) every day.

Except the reality is the exact opposite...

I think it has come to the point that it's starting to sound really ridiculous when snobbish DSLR owners bash mirrorless. Remember the time when DSLR owners were like, "MIRRORLESS WON'T TAKE OVER"??

I guess they don't have anything to say about that now =D

On a serious note, just the fact that you don't need to worry about lens calibration is already a HUGE win for mirrorless cameras. Back when I was using DSLR, I hate worrying about lens calibration for every lens I buy. Needing to get the Sigma USB dock to calibrate lens MYSELF just sounded like the least productive thing ever for a photographer who just wants to go out and shoot.

I use Instagram to grow my photography business too, but I personally don't like what it's doing for photography. So much trending-following, so little originality. Nowadays, many photographers take photos for likes but not for creating actual art.

Details matter much less now that most people are viewing photos on relatively small cellphone screens. Also, the time people spend on viewing one photo has decreased drastically. People just keep scrolling and scrolling and scrolling—stop for half a second at a picture that catches their attention—more scrolling and scrolling and scrolling.

Good job Tamron, for publicly acknowledging the issue. I just wish Sony would publicly at least discuss the eye-AF issues some users have experienced.

That would be the same as someone who bought Canon's first mirrorless APS-C camera, had a terrible experience, and then claimed Canon is an awful camera brand.

How stupid is that?

So entertaining to see all the people getting butthurt about this camera being the best camera you can get for under $2000 while most other people are enjoying their powerful A7 III they got for such great price and shooting away.

Yeah, keep arguing! Doesn't make this camera less of a steal for less than $2000. ;-)

I would choose moire over loss of sharpness all day. You can remove moire in post, but you can't really add sharpness.

Yes!!! Someone please look into this!

Exactly. The extremely limited AF points in DSLR cameras currently became so outdated with Sony's ridiculous 90%+ coverage. If Sony had more lenses, I can't imagine any sports photographers to not benefit from that kind of coverage, for example.

I chuckled a bit when I saw the title. D750 is not even on the same league as the A7 III. With everything A7 III offers, from stills to video, it is way better than D750 and even the other high end full frame cameras Canon and Nikon offer--those aren't even close.

Tamron for the more reliable AF. But if you are using a mirrorless, then you can't go wrong with either. Both are pro-grade lenses that will give you copacetic results.

I agree with OP. I use primes exclusively so I'm not biased toward zooms, but when I had a zoom, I was able to capture a lot MORE interesting photos and a lot more interesting moments.

I like how you guys are whining about this like you can just stick a bigger VC unit inside the lens yourself. Come on, you think Tamron is stupid? They certainly had reasons for their decisions. It's simply idiotic to assuming it just something simple they could have just put in the lens.
