What lens have you used on it?

Is there any type of way to control or to reduce the amount of noise reduction?

I am still wishing.  Maybe with 16mp and a little more zoom range.

How is the A99 for Jpeg shooting?

Ah...sorry about that.

I am not talking about lens firmware upgrades.  My original question was, do we need to remove the lens before upgrading the BODY firmware.

I know about finding the current versions of the firmware.  What I asking was, do we need to remove the lens before upgrading the body firmware.  One site said to do it, but another site indicated ...

Does the lens need to be removed before updating the firmware?

Now if Sony can come out with an A89 or whatever--24mp A-mount FF for under $2,000.

Which Panasonic?

I am hoping, too. I am wondering what Sigma is thinking about this matter. I wish Sigma, Tamron, Sony...somebody would come out with a 50-100 1.8 for Sony A-Mount cameras.

No, I would never want to take a tomb with me to bed. Now, a tome, possibly. :-)

Thanks...much appreciated.

Very interesting and helpful...thanks.  Do you mind providing the camera settings you used?  I like how you achieved the dark background with the well-lit girl.

For the girl with the red cap...what was your source of light?  Also...thanks for the very thorough and enlightening review.

Deed, How does the bokeh compare between the Fujinon 23mm 1.4  and the Sony RX 1?

You completely missed ChatBot's point.
