@Daniel Ockeloen Yep, that's about what it amounts to.

Except that it could only be "redefining mirrorless" if it was from Nikon. Canon is "rethinking mirrorless" It's an important distinction. ...

Heh! Could be... ; ) Yes. Funny thing is that in image preview mode, the image rotates 180º when you turn the camera upside down, but the text overlay doesn't. Seems a bit counter-intuitive.  : o

Since you evidently want to quibble, I took delivery of my copy in April 2016 - so two years and five-and-a-bit months. You're welcome to round that down to two years if it somehow makes you feel ...

That was my experience as well, FWIW. As Magnar W says, it is what you're used to. Exactly. The ergonomics and haptics improved from the mk2 to mk3 bodies. They are now really very good. A few ...

I agree it looks great. It's a pity that the comparison tool has some lenses with hoods attached and others without, which makes the comparison (at first glance) a bit deceptive. For example, the ...

Interesting question. Unfortunately I think the answer is no (at least, I've not come across any reference to it in my time with the camera. Lucky you know how to read backwards and upside down, ...

So you ask them why it's not a feature and they respond: "it's not a feature" : ? How opaquely circular (and evasive) of them. TBH, it would inspire more confidence if they'd at least actually ...

@chaos215bar2 Granted, putting the actual optical glass against concrete would be even worse.

But I think the point is that the potential for fine dust or contaminant transfer/incursion and/or...

Interesting that you've 'taken the plunge' and placed a preorder. Good for you. Certainly does seem to be shaping up as a strong release for Sony! Meanwhile, regarding astro shots, how long you can ...

All that said Carey, it still makes one cringe to see it, and it's something most of us would avoid 'like the plague', so it's a very odd choice for a camera/gear site to choose to a) treat high...

Yep. Nice video. But no surprises with regard to the weather aspect. I've been shooting Sony cameras in conditions like that (and sometimes worse) for several years now, without even a hint of ...

LOL. If you're talking about impressing others with the images that result (as opposed to some misguided notion of gear porn - really, nobody cares afaict), then I'd be inclined to agree. I've been ...

And that's certainly a possibility - though there's not much evidence of it in the initial releases for the R and Z mounts. It will be interesting to see how things develop in that regard over the ...

Hi Terry, Without having used the 24mm myself, I'm going to reserve judgement. But it's worth noting that the 16-35 GM sets a pretty high bar. My take is that it slight surpasses what the Batis 25 ...

Really? For you, maybe... But, in fact, it only "has to be the question" if the money is pretty much the only thing you are concerned with. To quote Steve Harley, "for only metal, what a bore". Not ...

The Sony is actually 24mm shorter than the FE version of the Sigma. The EF version of the Sigma is listed in Sigma specs as 90.2mm and some sites give that same length measurement for the FE ...

Thanks for posting a link to your review. Nice to read. I was, however, a little puzzled about one detail. You wrote: (1) Aperture ring on the lens and a switch to make it stepless.

Where did you see it announced? I've seen various rumours, but I understood the announcement is not expected until Photokina later this month (if the rumours are to be believed). (1) EDIT - I see that ...

Ditto - I prefer the Sony ZA rendering and bokeh too. And yes. it's subjective. Which is why the quote declaring without qualification that the Sigma's backgrounds are smoother and bokeh is ...

They may be quiet, but they are not equal. They are both sharp (although I suspect that the Sony may have the edge). However they otherwise render differently. I find the OOF transitions of the ...
