"DPAF sensors only use OSPDAF in liveview or mirrorless cameras. that's the way it is for the 70D onwards."

No idea what DPAF is

"the reason they are not known as the "fastest" is that they are...

It's a good article. I can only really see the new mount and adapter being the viable option.

I suspect their are labs full of engineers looking at how to drive an older lens properly from hybrid...

I think the point is that current on chip PDAF isn't very accurate and the final focus is done beCDAF

So there is a 1" sensor tough camera. But its pricey

Ok that would work. But I think in this market really wide would be good

So maybe 21, 35 and 70 equivalent. Sell it is an action Cam as well....

I think you just don't understand the market or perhaps even what a camera like this can do. Imaging resource are stating good 8 by 10 prints are possible at 400 and OK at iso 800. I'd say I was...

Yes because If I was in mud, sand or under water i would be thinking. "I think I need a narrower angle of view. Great I'll just remove the lens from may camera, whilst I'm trying to remove it with...

Just no way. Most water proof phones aren't proof. 1 metre for 30 minutes ....

Nether of those are 1" sensors

Is that a problem? I don't think it's a dive camera is it?

This photo was taken at iso 125 so the noise would be fine of everything else was ok. The issue with that photo is I think that the camera moved. IMHO flash off and iso 400 would have produced a ...

Assuming your using the wide end of each zoom I can't see the small sensor difference being that noticeable. Can you post an example with exif. It needs to quite dark for IQ to be an issue for me

So of the 2 of the appropriate focal length one is £750 the other over £1000. I did say "consumer"

The options for my Nikon DSLR start at £120 and have good optical quality.

The simple thing to try is a free download of a few RAW converters, including Lightroom CC and see how you get on. In the end after trying loads of options I paid for Lightroom CC. You can still ...

Dr Blackjack go on then recommend a consumer zoom. 70-300 or 50-200 type thing....

Completely agree. I got really close to buying an A6000. But The mid range zoom selection is a joke. We have a 55-200 lens with poor optical quality and a max aperture of 6.7. Nikon, Canon, Olympus...

No they just to make some more lenses for it. Consumer short zoom anyone?

I think they just use the DXO mark data. Sadly we are down to one team with the kit to measure this. It's a shame as I think they use a rather to low noise...

My hunch would be, in no particular order

Good range of lenses available

Good ergonomics and user experience

I was relieved that they didn't let the Sony win. I would probably own one but Sony...

I can't say I'm keen on the conversion. The bird looks interesting enough as is. The painting effect makes the back ground shout too much for me, sorry
