I also recently picked up a Canvas React Plus card (terrible name, Kingston!) and it seems as fast as its impressive specs suggest (300MB/s Read and 260MB/s Write). I've not done any specific ...

From what I've read and experienced, this is pretty common and probably not as nefarious as you might think. My A1 had a couple hundred clicks on it but all signs suggested it was brand new in a ...

Like most everything on Sony cameras, it's customizable -- you can reverse the dial rotation (look for the "Av/Tv Rotate" option in the settings menu). You can also assign other settings to the ...

From what you describe you really need two cameras. I had to make the same choice a few years back and basically I determined that the A9 has much better AF that excels at nailing anything moving, ...

It may only be a small thing, but I'm still blown away by the fact that high-end laptops like these STILL only have a 720p webcam (and usually a bad one at that). Sure, I try to use an external...

Depends what I'm shooting, but I either do RAW (compressed lossless) on slot 1 and 21MP jpg on slot 2, or (if I won't need jpegs) I do RAW on slot 1 with auto switching set to "on" so slot 2 takes ...

The mechanical shutter is part of an electronic device. I think the previous comment was valid -- If complex electronic products like cameras are going to fail in some way (whether moving parts or ...

Surely the first step would be to check if there is actually a problem. Stick the thing on a tripod and take some photos of stationary objects. If they're sharp then your settings/technique is ...

You don't need to update, but it's always good to do so in order to get any new features and squash any bugs. Sony's firmware updates are the entire software image, not just patches, so they ...

The A7 is now 7+ years old. The last few generations of Sony's cameras are some of the most customizable bodies there are and, yes, you can assign ISO to either of the dials now. I think your ...

Think of the [1][2][3] memory settings as their own pseudo-modes (essentially full manual ones) and you'll understand that switching out of them to [A] or [S] is basically changing modes ...

I previously used an A9 and my reasons for splurging on the A1 were improved AF (not that the A9 was any slouch in that department, mind you) with BEAF, high enough MP count to enable tight ...

If I were a professional with a need for a second body then I'd either get another A1 or (if money was an issue) either an A92 or an A7R4, depending on whether speed or resolution were more important.

Awesome, thanks. Sadly none of the options are really any better than the default black square!

I've seen nothing, but judging by how well the A1 was kept secret until release I'd imagine the A74 will come pretty much out of the blue as well.

An assumption based on what? Wishful thinking?! I suspect the A74 will be an incremental, but decent, update to the A73. I doubt the A74 will have 8K video (the A7s3 doesn't), or a stacked sensor, ...

The A1 certainly has some quirks, but freezing is not one I've experienced. First thing I would try is to save all your camera settings, re-initialize the camera, and re-load your settings to see ...

Yes, the menu is both awesome with its myriad options (and new layout) and also infuriating with some of the seemingly-obvious things that are entirely missing.  Control over the volume of the ...

Where did you find the four variants? I can’t find them anywhere in the menu, but I’m probably looking in the wrong places

I tried that and the e-shutter volume stays exactly the same whether I have the volume at 10 or at 1. I'm not sure if it's a bug, a glitch following my firmware update, or a feature I cannot fathom. ...
