Hi Terry, Photography is about emotion. Not exclusively, perhaps, but mostly. That's partly the emotion and intent the photographer is feeling, but also the emotion(s) stirred in those who view the ...

On the one hand you are announcing a poll asking people what they do and/or what they think (presumably those things are related). But in the same post where you announce the poll you are A) ...

Are there differences between the ergonomics of the a7Rv and the original a9 that cause you to say you prefer the original A9? If so, it would be interesting to know what they are. Or is that not ...

I too have what I would consider to be average-sized hands (for an adult male) and I've experienced ZERO problems with the ergonomics of the grips in the Sony R-series cameras. Since half the adult ...

That's not a new feature. We already have fully automated composition --- just point and press the shutter button (preferably with the camera turned on and the lens cap removed) and you will ...

Okay, I'll be brave and predict that, among other things (presumably), Sony will release the following two prime lenses in 2023: (1) 85mm f1.2 GM (2) 300mm f2.8 GM

I suppose that when god has spoken that should be the end of the matter. However the other major complication you fail to mention in your tour of what impacts the "thing" people loosely refer to as ...

Ok, gotcha. Thanks for the clarification! Seems like without IBIS you'd be confined to tripod work, which would be limiting. So the added capability of the a7Rv must feel quite liberating for you. ...

Could it be that you are talking about a shutter speed equal to 1/focal length, which is (or rather, used to be) a "rule of thumb" for shooting *without* stabilization? If so, then your results ...

That's correct. Rolling shutter is not an issue with stills when you are using mechanical shutter. Yes. The trade of for silence and an absence of shutter shock is the potential for rolling shutter ...

On the other hand, there were widespread reports of the solvent in the Eclipse cleaning fluid being incompatible with Sony sensors. IIRC, the issue was that it could dissolve the sensor coating. ...

Rolling shutter can produce artefacts that may be problematic in either stills or video. In stills it will show up most often in things like the wings of birds in flight or the shape of balls ...

I use the Aero-Clipse cleaning fluid, as it is the one recommended for Sony sensors (as opposed to the regular Eclipse formulation). Not sure about the Visibledust solvent as I haven't used it, ...

It seems you are seeing the "accessory compatibility" message regardless of which battery you have inserted --- which suggests to me that the message may not relate to the battery(s), but to one ...

I'm not ProDude (obviously) but there are a number of reasons one might choose silent shutter for static shots. One would be to avoid spooking animals or people with shutter sounds (or simply to be ...

I can't comment on sample variation with the 200-600, as I've only used two (one being the one I own). However I have had no complaints at all about sharpness at 600mm, or at 840mm with the 1.4x TC. ...

That's only the main benefit from the point of view of people who place low value on the new AI AF in the Rv, on the dual function articulating LCD, on the extra stops of IBIS or the dual function ...

It's been over six years since I made the switch to Sony Full Frame, and I had many years shooting both Nikon and Canon before that. I've found the Sony gear I've owned to be well built and ...

Not necessarily. It depends on how it has been implemented.
