Yes, it seeks out eyes in normal wide area AF-C just like the new feature they are touting on the A6400. I've asked before whether the A77II does this. Don't get too excited about it. It doesn't ...

It has high sample variation according to Lens Rentals. At least some examples have strong axial chromatic aberration and  purple fringe on high contrast edges. It doesn't support 20 FPS tracking ...

So, the A77II doesn't do any sort of Eye AF in AF-C?The A68 does, but it also has the old AF-S Eye AF where you need to press a button. Excellent ergonomics compared to the A7-series?

I find very wide lenses more difficult to use, so the 55 mm sounds the best as a single lens of those choices.  I have mixed feelings about it--not just because it is pretty expensive. How about a ...

Manufacturers know how the game is played. They can be selective in what they hand out to reviewers.

The A7II and A6000 Eye AF is AF-S and contrast-detect but can be used with adapted lenses. You have to set the A7II to use contrast-detect when using adapters. It is slow with every lens adapted ...

Image quality depends on a lot of things. For similar optical images (same depth-of-field, same exposure) the newer APS-C sensors have less noise and greater dynamic range than the A7II. Most ...

Testing one sample of a zoom doesn't tell you much about other copies. I have used both within a day, but I didn't get to properly test the RXD. My Sony 28-75 is better than my Tamron 28-75 XR. ...

Try out the bodies if you can. The A6x00 body doesn't work well for me, and the A6400 indicates that Sony is sticking with it. The Sony A7II sensor is dated more than the A6000. The newer APS-C ...

That's the GP-VPT1 shooting grip/tripod thing. It can operate any camera with the Multi-Terminal (micro USB). There's a smaller VCT-SGR1 version for the RX0.

It is not sharper than the 28-70 OSS either. And it  focuses slower and lacks OSS. It is hard to recommend for $250. You could pop a $10 lens on the $250 Techart Pro and get a similar experience.

Maybe a better comparison: the A65 body was also $900 at launch. DPReview described the A65 as consumer level rather than enthusiast level A77.

Launch price of A6000 was $650 + $150 for the 16-50PZ.

I can't see replacing my A68 + 55-300 yet. Maybe the A7000 will add the Lens Compensations and allow >3 FPS AF-C with the LA-EA3. The A7 cameras do have automatic APS-C crops when adapting DT ...

There's the technical fact that E-mount allows lens profile information to be stored in the lens. That information seems to be stored in the camera for A-mount lenses--at least for pre-A77 lenses. ...

I heard nothing about expanding the A-mount compatibility in the A6400. The original A7 has all the A-mount Lens Compensations. None of the A6x00 cameras do. The last firmware updates for the ...

What focal lengths did you end up using? The Sigma 50-150 DC HSM II is smaller and lighter than the x-200 F2.8 zooms. The Sony 85 F2.8 SAM, 90/100/105 F2.8, and/or a 50 F1.4/1.7/1.8 might be fine. ...

Neither the 5R nor the A7II are very good with telephoto zooms. I'll recommend a Sony A68 + Sony DT 55-300. You could also look the similar at Canon and Nikon options. The A6300/A6500 + 70-300G OSS ...

I publish my cheap lineup at Dyxum . The various series make some sense. I could see owning all the Batis lenses or all the G Master lenses or all the Sigma Art lenses. There's the Sony Carl Zeiss ...

It sounds like you had unrealistic expectations about shifting to a larger sensor of a similar generation. The sensor in the A7II is not better than the A6000 when capturing similar images. The AF ...
