I LOVE APS-C mirrorless because you can have a killer lens kit that is just not that big or heavy. This includes primes and zooms, even faster zooms. I have an a6000 with the 16-70mm (I must have...

Does this mean they can finally replace the official The Camera Store car, the beat-up, high-mileage Pontiac Vibe?

Seems like a fairly long list of negatives for 89%. Not suggesting this get like 75%, but 89% would be if the viewfinder was good, the touch experience was good, etc. Those are things that affect...

Hmmmmm, not feeling it with these selections.

That was my main beef, and Sony finally grew up and put the big battery inside (no, I don't need a TINY FF mirrorless camera, I need a good one with good ergonomics). Really happy about this!

I don't have a problem moving from a DSLR to Mirrorless (for FF), but it needs to have the ergonomics that are found on a DSLR.

The sensors are good, the EVFs are good, the electronics are all...

The people making a living doing it don't think it's a pain!

Agree. Maybe something more like PL mount, with a SOLID lock from the adapter to body (make it one SOLID piece), then the EF lens mounts to that.

While people might rip on Canon (and they deserve it) for being slugs, once they are actually motivated (it seems like that is finally happening), I expect they will have some good hardware. Maybe...

Could this be killer for some astronomy work, if it behaves well wide open?

Great for Sony, and great for all camera buyers. Hope this keeps forcing ALL brands to innovate more.

So glad they are finally using the bigger battery.

Very nice! 180-560mm at a very high quality in one lens is killer (as is the Canon version, which I got to use...once).

This is very good news...because Sony wouldn't be bringing this out if APS-C was 'dead'.

Very glad to see this. I think it will be a great lens for many people.

Also, I think this lens might be...

Honestly, don't see a lot that is critically different than the assembly of high-end Canon or Nikon bodies/lenses. All of it involves a lot of hand work and adjustment. There is no 'camera making...

Electrolytic capacitors on slide 4 - hope those are ones that will last a long time.

Maybe this would be more for video use than stills? Look at all the nature shows that use STUPID long lenses (1000-2000mm). Having something smaller, lighter could be key for some...

I'd rather live in a world with Leica than without Leica. More options are better, and the fact they make something *different* in a world where much is the same is special.

You mean to tell me Sony's newest, almost-most-expensive camera is their best one ever? Shocked.

Let me guess, the new iPhone will be...the best iPhone yet?

Or the next Intel CPU will be their...

Love it or hate it, seems to be a step in the right direction for being a 'serious' camera vs. a smartphone-wanna-be luxury item.

I like the concept, and this would have been an A-grade project to do for a college marketing class, but at the end of the day, its just easier and cheaper to use your phone. People that are going...
