They will have her by 2049.

ThomasIII: you seem to imply that there is some kind of *mystical* advantage to the specialized chips, like let us say the Google tensor processing unit compared to general purpose GPUs. There...

DerKeyser: The difference between the current neural engine (claimed to be 5TFlops) and other up-to-date ARM model's GPUs is maybe 2x. It is about half of an NVidia 1080Ti (although of course, you...

Rensol: is the image created by a 1.4 / 85 lens wide open "natural"?

I thought that "creativity" is about creating something new.

"Set your exposure mode to A, rotate the dial until wide open, then focus on the eye" - I don't think that is creativity. It is just...

Tim,

Bizarre way to see it.

Zenit, Praktica etc. was part of the Warsaw treaty industry, primarily targeting russian and eastern european customers which were probably 95% of the market for the...

The 35/2.8 is an amazing lens. Makes the A7R3 feels like a compact camera. Would love to have similar lenses in other focal lengths.

Roland,

The 30x multiplier makes sense. At ISO 100 it gives you pictures similar to what a Sony A73 would give you at ISO 3200. Give it or take it.

So. Other than lack of IBIS, this looks like the perfect APS-C camera, with future proof features at a reasonable price. If you buy this, you don't need another camera until the great 8k / 60p...

@zak: Industrial photography, sure. Whenever you would take 3 primes, take this.

However, with that character-building weight, look-at-how-expensive-I-am bulk and limited zoom range, it might not...

zakk9: but at the price and weight of an additional camera + lens. :-)

Well, the 28-70/f2 is more a curiosity, as it is the price and weight of another camera with a lens.

Well, you could make a camera with two lenses and sensors - an rx100v plus a 70-700 hx99. Share the controls, processing, battery and viewfinder. Fun, fun, fun.

lomoapontaechuta: Well, the RX10M4 will handily beat this camera at every focal length and also with cropping to 720 equivalent, the difference is that that big. But then again, these are not...

Discussion about top level cameras is about what differentiates them. In the 1960s this might have been who has the shortest shutter speed etc. This is not a differentiating factor any more, so we...

@norman You are probably right. It might also work to some degree to protect the D850. But, boy, that is a very limited aim to shoot for.

Well, the Z7 is a good upgrade to the D750, and you can use your lens.

What I wanted to say is that people buy the camera, not the potential of the lens mount.

They are solid cameras, and the lens mount clearly has all the potential in the world.

But I really think that bringing in the potential of the lens mount in the discussion of the _camera_ is not...

Norman, I think that a lot of us feel like this. But then again, this is a $4000 camera with the kit lens. That's an expensive tease. Should one buy it?
