Ah - it sounds like you will be doing some investigating. I look forward to your findings. Thanks

OK Jim - thanks. Does that imply that there is no difference in DR between compressed and uncompressed on the 7 mark 3 in single shot mode? AT this point in time the good news, as a mk 2 owner who ...

Oops sorry this was the link https://www.dpreview.com/articles/3389926460/sony-a7-iii-dynamic-range-and-high-iso-improve-over-its-predecessor

Thanks for your responses. Apologies Jim but I struggle with the technical data to which you refer. In this link - see the table in the summary section - the A7iii seems to have a difference in DR ...

DP Review recently reported figures for dynamic range in uncompressed and compressed RAW  for the recent A7iii. It also reported the uncompressed dynamic range for the A7ii but didn't report the ...

Thanks for all your speedy replies. Really helpful. I appreciate it.

I'm thinking of picking up a cheapish G3 off Ebay as a second camera. As it only has the rear dial how do owners of this camera adjust exposure compensation without going into the menu every time? ...

Thanks for the information Loafer. Too risky for me to try I think!

Thanks to everyone for your responses. I recognise that people who post about this may be in a minority but it does seem to be mentioned. I wasn't expecting that on a fixed lens camera. I am used ...

Loafer - how did you eliminate dust without dismantling the camera?

I've recently been considering getting the LX100, probably a used one, and have noticed comments in a number of posts here about problems of sensor dust with this camera. Presumably that is caused ...

Eric You have absolutely no need to apologise for not being able to find the charger. You have gone above and beyond the call of duty in your helpful responses! I was aware that some software can ...

Eric Thanks for the further information and image. It's good to know the UV/IR cut filter may still not give a neutral image after the camera is converted. I have previously tried using an IR ...

Thanks again for your responses and links. Yes Eric, as I mentioned in the first post, I want to use the camera for IR but also "normal" pictures hence the full spectrum conversion. The diy ...

Thanks to everyone for your replies. I'm not sure that one of the adapters would take the strain of using a Cokin P system attached to it, sliding in ND Grad filters etc. Could you point me in the ...

Greg Thanks for the quick response. Looking at the LX7 I feel the sensor is too small. I should have said that I would prefer a 1" sensor. The LX100 has bigger than that. I have looked at the LX10 ...

I'm looking to get a compact (not bridge) camera for a full spectrum conversion so I can use it for normal photography and infrared. I don't want to use fiddly adapters on the lens barrel as the ...

Jim Thanks for the succint summary. Yes I always use a remote release. However, my tripod is quite light as I have to walk miles with it, and often end up in exposed, windy locations where I think ...

Thanks for the responses and the link to the IBIS thread. I've also found an EFCS thread from 2015 which I've bookmarked to read when I have time. It is rather long! Thanks

I'm using an A7ii and 24-240 lens for maximum compositional flexibility when out hiking looking for landscape images I have read about the benefits and drawbacks of using EFCS and IBIS. But am ...
