Seems to suggest the ability to reverse engineer the RF and Z mounts is not beyond the technical abilities of third party manufacturers. Quite interesting then that Sigma and Tamron haven't...

The biggest thing that forces you to upgrade is camera support, since older versions don't support new cameras. If you buy new camera bodies as they come out, you'll probably need the latest...

G in GM stands for "Gangsta" :-D

So even with a full frame line, Panasonic will still be selling new m4/3 camera bodies.

No idea about the A7 III, but I am very pleased with the silent shutter of my A9.

Only a day or two after we are encouraged to pronounce Leica lens design brand names in German, like "zummilux" instead of summilux. Hmm....

Leica lenses are at 5:25 and Zeiss lenses are at 6:15 for those who want a shortcut :)

@hikerdoc Life comes at you fast. Now there are American kids growing up listening to BTS. It'd actually be a great marketing campaign for Nikon USA to rebrand itself as Nikon USA (properly...

Sorry I was referring to the lens design names like Planar

For anyone with a basic familiarity with Japanese pronunciation though, Nikon is obvious pronounced neekon. As an American, I find it weird that Americans don't pronounce it that way.

All this time I've been saying the Voigt in Voigtlander wrong.

I didn't even realize that the Leica and Zeiss lens names were German although in hindsight it seems obvious that they would be....

I already had Smartphone with PC off. So I just turned off PC Remote and then it worked. The random and mysterious dependencies within the menu system have always been one of the weaknesses of the ...

The lens name has ZA, or Zeiss Alpha.

And they still say Zeiss in the descriptions.

Not sure about the other bodies, but the only options for Steadyshot on the A7C are On and Off. I don't see an option for Active Mode. So should we use On or Off?

Hours after the first 50 comments on how excessively expensive and fancy the new camera model is, a Leica salesperson will ring up a pre-sale. Gotta give it to them. That's a pretty camera.

You don't need a joystick with Sony anymore. There is simply no need to manually move the focus point. On the A7C, because of the fewer custom buttons, I just use tracking as the main AF mode. I ...

Shutter click sound that runs through headphones only? I never would have come up with that feature request. Creative!

Sigma has stated that they have no manufacturing capacity right now to produce Z or RF mount lenses. And all they said is there's a "possibility" of new mounts. Honestly, anyone buying into Canon ...

It's totally different than the old DSLR designs that are really loud in AF-C as the focus motor shifts rapidly back and forth in AF-C. It's a quiet lens. Not sure I'd say completely silent as you ...
