Global shutter is great, but if I remember correctly don't you sacrifice a couple of stops of dynamic range? I'm not sure people want that trade off unless the technology advances, but who knows ...

Seems like a good time to buy into Ryzen.  Now that they're putting out 2nd generation hardware, many of the 1st generation kinks you typically see in a new platform have become non-issues (I try ...

You and I both. I too just purchased the hardware yesterday for my long awaited upgrade after six years.  I don't game, this is just for photo and video editing/rendering.  This is what I went ...

Let me preface this by saying I only play engineer and economist on the internet. That said... I guess the fly in the ointment on this idea (and don't get me wrong, I think electronic aperture ...

The Canon 7D line is their flagship APS-C body. Its most recent iteration, the Mark II, was released in November 2014. The original 7D that preceded it went five years before a successor came out. ...

The A77ii is as good as, or better than, the A57 in every way. You can't say that about the other two models (for instance, the LCD specs and design). I moved from the A57 to the A77ii, was a ...

For your budget, I would go for the Tamron - SP AF 70-200 F2.8 Di LD IF Macro.  A lot of bang for your buck, plus the A77ii really gets the most out of it.

This kind of thing happens with DxoMark that you should be careful about sensor comparisons across generations of product development. The A55 is a product of 2010, the A68 from 2016. There's ...

I concur with the other recommendations of the A77ii.  I've owned the A33 and the A57, and they were great, but it is a much better camera in every way. Every other option involves a significant ...

If you don't mind my asking why did you leave before? What was your last A-mount camera before you left for the dark side?

Previous Sony models I might have chosen the EVF, peaking, or full-time live view. I love the quick and easy Eye AF. It just works, and very well, on the A77ii. Mine does not feel old at all.  ...

Have the 18-135 SAM lens, was mounted on A77ii in a well padded bag that protects fairly well, took a short tumble hanging off the back of a chair. The camera seems fine and functions normal with ...

That's just it, nothing lasts forever. Eventually they'll be right. This will be true for every mount at some point in time. But this obsession with establishing a "doomsday clock" vigil, I can't ...

There are many considerations beyond what has been made: Economy of scale for a particular product, what else is out there to compete with a particular model, pricing what the market will bear ...

Does this happen with both screw driven focus lenses and lenses with built in focus motors? It might matter.

Only issue with that particular one is it uses the older Minolta shoe, which will require a separate adapter for mounting on the A77ii. Any of these wireless shutter releases should work natively: ...

Nice time-lapses of Nashville and the Cumberland River.  I spent a couple of weeks there just recently. A-mount SLTs like the A99ii and the A77ii are significantly quieter when compared to any ...

You should be able to return the item, even if no return policy, if the item does not work as advertised.

Either one, doesn't matter for testing the flash. If you post an image here, jpeg.

If you just purchased off ebay and it's not working properly I would highly suspect a defective flash.  Do you have another Sony body to try it out with?
