In the near term I will be using native lenses: (1) Kit zoom (if I can make it workable for me) (2) 50mm f1.8 (already acquired so I can check a possible issue ...

As it's been a while.  N.O.M.A is a new development in just inside Manchester's city centre.  It is built around the old CIS tower and it's centerpiece is the Co-operative Bank's new HQ.  Inspired ...

I see Sony makes two, the bigger, more expensive of which comes with a translucent mirror assembly.  But hang on a minute, doesn't the A7 II have on sensor PDAF, like the Olympus E-M1?  Does this ...

Thamk you for confirming that. Branch of Jeasops I bought the kit from has just closed for a two week refit. I'll call their customer support tomorrow.

And also if I have a sub-par copy (or a problem with my new A7 II).... A couple of days of testing has yielded some mixed results, and also some unexpected results. For example, I discovered ...

Must admit, I'm not so sure about the kit lens (my other wide zoom is the Olympus 12-40) and the larger format is taking some getting used to. Here's a few. Tram Lines, ©2017 Jason Hindle War ...

I'm looking for best practice in terms of setting up the camera for best OOC JPEGs, video, IBIS and so on.  I'm completely new to Sony cameras, and have the basic zoom kit, so your recommendations ...

When you say the A7 and A7 II lag behind their peers, in high ISO performance, what does this mean in practical terms for the photographer? What is the practical high ISO ceiling of these cameras,...

If the camera business is making a profit, I hope they let it continue with what it is doing.

Philippe Kahn as in the founder of Borland?

Wot no Fuji?

Overall though, isn't it all a bit boring at the moment? I'm just not feeling the GAS.

There's no pleasing some.

Forgot to add my usual laptops are MacBook Pros. Haven't looked recently, but Apple haven't launched a new laptop carrying anything less than 8Gb of memory for some time. My boycot is entirely...

Does this mean great DR and best in class high ISO performance are currently mutually exclusive?

Of course. The smaller format was not something I'd considered. Presumably, IQ wise, a modern D500 is at least as good as the D700 at higher ISO (e.g, 6400), on top of the DR advantages?

To get the auto focus system of the D5, you'd have to buy a D5. OTOH, didn't Canon put their latest 1D autofocus system into the 5D IV? As for full frame vs smaller format, I still think there's a...

Out of curiosity, I bought a Chinese knock off of the Surface Pro, complete with the latest Kaby Lake Core M. Impressive battery life* and performance** so I'd expect the actual Surface Pro to be...

The D3 (and its sibling, the D700) represented a pleasant step change in low light photography. They still fetch a pretty decent price on eBay. I've been tempted from time to time.

Oh, they still use Synergy. Didn't they get the memo about that being so naughties? Either way, I'd avoid standing on the clear plastic sheeting, in the middle of the boss's office, if I worked...
