No, nothing like that. It allows me to film. One thing I noticed is that it is perpermental. I had a card I was using between my Panasonic and sony cameras, and it would not record video with an ...

Fantastic. I just got an a77 in the mail but plan my upgrade path to move to an A7iv hybrid (I shoot video too). I invested in Minolta lenses to use on my Panasonic camera, and eventually wanted a ...

Upon looking into it, there is one firmware for all models. It seems that until the a77ii as someone mentioned, the region was somehow hard coded into the camera.

Correct, I see that now. Not a huge issue as I can always just shoot in 50 and then edit in 30 or 24. If anything actually, it means I can get smooth motion at 1/100th frame rate, so in a way that ...

I found they sell for over $350 (plus shipping) on ebay, and there was a UK seller that was a pawn shop. Knowing pawn shops and how they work, I gave them a low offer, and managed to snag it for ...

I just picked up an a77 from ebay from a UK seller, and I cannot anywhere in any of the menus find where to switch this to NTSC. Can anyone help?

Sure, I would look at whatever works. I have the sigma 16 1.4 for M43, it is a solid sharp lens. Honestly, if tomorrow they announce support for the L mount, then I would be very happy, but hitting ...

I am not sure if you all want to tell me I am crazy, but I have a huge problem with the recent announcements. My first ever "real" mirrorless was a Panasonic. I am emotionally attached to the ...

@therealyeats in theory yes, however the new way things are done, with "run and gun" vlogging, the definition of "serious" video shooter has changed, and I think that in the past we would consider...

I assume you have never filmed video seriously with it then? Any situation ever where the background changes colors or brightness causes pulsing.

I use the G9, and was not able to get a stable...

"It isn't inherently worse" should have been IMMEDIATELY followed by FOR STILL PHOTOGRAPHY.
Who writes these? Whoever did has obviously never used a Lumix camera to film video before.

I respectfully disagree that it is not an issue. Having selection and using a product the way you want are important, and there are very good lenses made by Sigma and Tamron for all sorts of cameras. ...

I mean, fwiw it is better support than say Canon. I actually passed up a deal on a Canon camera the other day because they seem to not want to allow third party lenses to be launched at all... I ...

Thanks, I will check your guide. I do have experience adapting old lenses to m43, about a years worth. During that time I have collected a number of Minolta MD mount, Minolta A mount and even some ...

Hello, I just picked up a Sony A77 so I can use some Minolta A mount lenses I have been using on my Panasonics, but wondered what the deal was with adapting vintage lenses to these Sony SLT cameras. ...

Ty, I bookmarked this for future reference.

Thanks for the conversation. Because of where I live (Las Vegas), it is often better to be pretty darn far away from subjects. This was taken with a 135mm "cheap" celtic Minolta on an m43 with a ...

May I ask? Am I being overly analytical about the AF points? I am planning to use it mostly all manual for macro photos but being able to AF is nice when you are very close in, as well as using the ...

It is certainly not easy, and it gets even worse... I bought a cheap nex3n online thinking that I could invest in an adapter, but no, never because that is the ONE modern that never got a single ...

For sure. I am hoping to use the lenses are they were intended, with AF properly working and without the 2x crop that I am getting on M43. I shoot macros and street photography, so I have the 50mm ...
