could be vibration as others have said.   silent shutter mode helps a lot with this IMO, and another really simple way to test is just to use a flash. Set it to 1/200 ISO 100 (in an environment ...

You still lose a stop of light regardless , that's a physical limitation.  It just doesn't report the max aperture as f/8 to the camera so it lets you AF (or attempt to) on bodies that don't ...

Turn off distortion correction

If it doesn't even spit out a tiff directly that maintains the highlight data it's not either.

Not that I disagree with your points about the limited utility of these cameras, but since when is surface area not a conventional measure?

You will see more detail even in downsized photos (on screen and print) , but the question of whether it will matter to the people buying your prints is up in the air. http://www.northlight-images. ...

The 20 is only as long because it has a built in hood. This lens is definitely bulkier.

That's what I'm thinking too. It looks about the size and weight of the canon 70-300L

With an 86mm filter thread it's going to be a monster I'm sure.

slow focusing lenses will get random shots in a burst, but the keeper rate will be much lower.   whether you get the infocus at the start of the series or not might be technique, but it's really ...

Not a published spec, unfortunately!   it would be a big help if it was.   I mostly rely on reading reports from reviewers to determine (relatively) how fast or slow a lens is to focus. ...

I know a lot of people have commented, but here's my 2 cents to try #1 on the static focus difficulties with the 17-55, what firmware version are you on?  a later firmware release fixed issues with ...

You want a cheaper MF system, then no leaf shutters for you. And a FP shutter for a sensor this big would also cost a small fortune to design with a faster sync speed.

Top plate shutter speed dials are not good ergonomics. They are an old mechanical limitation that went away when electronically timed shutters were invented. (Thankfully)

A large part of the content of this article is spent discussing the problems with Sony cameras. What were you reading?

And much like on other mirrorless cameras, how you can increase or decrease the size of those focus areas to cover one or more than one at once, you can start from one of those user selectable...

Every pixel on 80% of the sensor is a focus "point" on a dual pixel sensor. That is the amount of "user selectable" focus areas, which is a software conceit only.

Think of this like the D5/D500...

The piece they were missing until this past year was stills servo with dual pixel. They did not include that on the 7d2 or 70d which one can only assume means they weren't able to get it working...

This camera has over 19 million AF points.

Making some pro level bodies and having a small dedicated user base is not cementing something as an industry standard. Otherwise based on user dedication alone , Fuji would have turned APS...
