I have seen multiple reports of overheating and this is absolutely unacceptable IMO.  It shouldn't happen in any camera but certainly not one that is marketed as a professional camera. I am puzzled ...

They might accidentally trigger someone?

Looks great. Now how am I going to convince the wife I need another lens? Hmmm...

Why are people harping on the T5.6 issues? This is a SPECIALTY lens designed for smooth out of focus areas not low light. It has a special design with a special APO element to achieve this. Why...

Luckily you can use the Canon 100/2 with Sony's latest cameras :)

LOL. That would be the wife.

I'm sold. Just waiting for grand kids to pull the trigger ;)

I have to say I am confused about the weather sealing. Sony created a new series of cameras geared toward the professional but apparently without professional grade weather sealing. If they are...

The real question is why is Sony using a utility that requires a specific computer/OS to update a camera?  Just use the SD card like in the past.

I'm OK with a computer option but IMO the camera should be able to update from a memory card.  I run Linux so its annoying to have to borrow a windows PC to update the firmware on my camera.

Very nice results. Looks like a bargain for Nikon shooters.

I am an extremely near-sighted person as things are out of focus at about 8". My bokeh is not flat at all and actually resembles that of the STF lens. Perhaps that is why I like the look.

I like the look the STF produces. Here's the flickr group for the Minolta/Sony 135 STF:

Do yourself a favor and go look at a Minolta/Sony 135 STF gallery and see if you think you could achieve the effect Photoshop.

Assuming you think you could do it with Photoshop don't you think it...

The STF technology has been out for over 15 years as well: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minolta_STF_135mm_f/2.8_T4.5

I wonder if DPR would have gotten better results if they were more familiar with the AF system (this goes for all cameras - especially the one with the more capable and complicated AF systems). I...

Because size isn't the only reason to buy a Sony mirrorless camera?

Apparently it's not a gimmick. http://ilovehatephoto.com/2014/11/21/the-true-king-of-bokeh/

Certainly the economy A6xxx camera and I think that's a good strategy to keep the older cameras as the entry level - better than de-contenting IMO.  They've already paid for the R&D costs and have ...

To some.
