Your transliteration rules are clearly...

With Sony cameras, PiP DC rejection would thus be a /necessary/, but not always documented compatibility feature of mics with built-in batteries.

Of course, one could also simply use...

../..

Furthertmore, a NFB output stage will present a signal level-dependent, and therefore dynamically variable current sink to the electrical circuit in a recording device attempting to provide...

../..

For metrology purposes, a TRIVIAL way to eliminate a PiP DC voltage would be to use two passive mic splitters. Such passive splitters, often used in professional audio, typically have a...

With a differential signal, carried e.g. over an XLR connection, a common DC offset between ground and the signal lines is irrelevant, as the NFB circuit can simply sample the voltage...

DPReview should measure the DC voltage present between the tip and the sleeve of ALL the cameras involved in this preamp test.

My bet is that ONLY the Sony provides Plug-in-Power (PiP) to the mic,...

I'd thus say that this test needs to be re-run

1) using a more appropriate technical setup that takes into account, and eliminates — e.g. using a capacitor or transformer coupling — the DC...

The DM-E100 leaves out from the compatibility list higher-end DSLRs like the 7D, 5D and 1D series, presumably because these cameras either don't have mic inputs, of if they have one, they...

../..

So, what the tester is doing with a Sony camera, basically, is superimposing a spurious, and uncalled for 2.4V DC bias on the signal line. Such an unexpected DC voltage bias might actually...

I have serious reservations about the validity of such a preamp "test".

That youtube video shows close-ups of the 3.5mm microphone plugs of all the cameras tested. It appears that only the Sony...

For, say, the European Union, Trump's travel ban between the USA and the EU isn't such a bad thing, as the US might well overtake the EU in terms of infection rate per capita.

Anyway, even...

@jkokich

I wouldn't be surprised if the number of deaths caused by Covid-19 in the US reached seven figures.

As a result of ignorant ideology and sheer stupidity, the US has a fundamentally...

It's thus likely that in the confined space that is a cruise ship, with large crowds congregating during a sea journey in event spaces / dance halls / buffet-style restaurants, that a large...

A country is perfectly entitled to enforce a quarantine on a vessel with passengers suspected (with good reason) to be contagious disease...

It could be that Rishi isn't a native English speaker, and is thus unaware of the negative nuance of "simplistic" (which is an adjective, not a noun, by the...

I guess that, as usual, morons will wonder why a Japanese manufacturer "stops" shipping a particular lens when faced with high demand.

These morons don't even realize that their interpretation of...

Stage 5 — i.e. acceptance — in my reply to J A C S isn't actually about the acceptance of a neologism. I couldn't care less if some contrived, dissonant and pedantic pseudo-classical neologism ...

I was unsure, because, based on my reading over years of your DPreview posts, you came across as a person unable to even conceptualize the shallowness and blinkeredness of your thinking in various ...

I was unsure, because I sensed the potentiality of your attempt, so I left scope for agent ambiguity in my reply... Also note that, to avoid people not "getting it", I ensure it's obvious either ...

It takes a certain well-roundedness of cognitive ability to reach stage 5, I guess.
