Interesting, and a bit weird. I tried on my A7R2, and it does not behave like that. It does go to continuous CDAF in A mode with an aperture smaller than F8, but I think that's a different thing ...

It's called SteadyShot. "SteadyShot Inside" is IBIS, "Optical SteadyShot" is ILIS/OSS. When you turn it off on a native lens, you're turning off all SteadyShot, both IBIS and ILIS.

It's not entirely useless, but close to it, on mirrorless cameras. I think the main reason Canon and Nikon have them is, again, for familiarity for migrating DSLR users. And that is a valid reason. ...

No. 4K is only 8.5MP. It uses the whole area of the sensor (no crop), but not all of the pixels on it. Here's Jim Kasson's test of the silent shutter speed: https://blog.kasson.com/the-last-word/ho ...

I'm not sure this is true. I don't do video, but people that are serious videographers have commented on this, and they seem to be saying that 8K is not really what people are looking for right now. ...

I guess I have a higher frustration threshold. I don't feel frustrated with my A7R2 at all. I think it much more depends on what you're used to and what your expectations are.

I wonder if anyone makes a pivoting cell phone holder that connects to the tripod mount... with Smart Remote you can have the screen face anywhere you want. Or you could do this, but it looks a lot ...

FPS is not the key spec here. Readout speed is. I have not yet seen a readout speed number for the R5. For the A7III it's about 1/16th. For the A9 it's about 1/150th. The fact that the R5 can do ...

Maybe, depending on how much overheating is a deal breaker. I think the A7SIII will still likely be a better camera for pro videographers. Mostly, yes. Lower resolution, and DR still to be seen, ...

Canon wants to move their DSLR users to the EOS R line. Keeping DSLR control layouts makes perfect sense here. Habits are hard to change. There are probably people in this thread that first ...

Even if both have been replaced, it's two lines with still no pro sports camera. FWIW, Petapixel says that neither the R or RP are being replaced at this point. In their DSLR line, Canon has/had ...

Canon now has the EOS R, RP, R5, and R6.... and they don't yet have a pro sports mirrorless. Why does Sony need to consolidate?

So, overall here, we have better video, and not as good stills, vs the A7RIV, for $500 more. We have the same frame rate, but probably much worse rolling shutter and EVF blackout, compared to the ...

OK. So, I missed by a bit. It's a little less than twice the price of the A7III. It's 1.95X the A7III price. Aggressive. Now I guess we get to see what Sony is doing with the A7SIII. I still think ...

Pretty sure the ILCA-77 service manual is easily available online. What's wrong with the main board?

I don't think I've ever heard of Sony's cameras overheating during stills photography under any conditions. All the overheating talk is generally concerned with videography, or with flashes ...

Seems like an easy thing to test: shoot a video and drop the battery out while shooting it. I'd shoot into a mirror, so, if the video was partially saved, I'd have a good idea of how much of the ...

I didn't notice obvious differences in color, but you might try some of these color profiles: https://www.piraccini.net/2011/02/profili-colore-sony-a900-per-adobe-lr.html He has them for pretty ...

Just found Edward Noble's page on IR lenses. Looks like a pretty good resource. His experience with the 24-70 Zeiss seems to match mine: https://www.edwardnoble.com/hotspots Think I'll have to try ...

The HVL-F20M is a bit expensive for what it is, but it's small, handy, and works very simply and reliably. I'd recommend that as a flash to keep in your bag or in your pocket for occasions when ...
