There are some quirks left over on the mk II bodies after the firmware AF point movement changes. You can get a message that says you have to look through the viewfinder to move the point?! I ...

(10 times being used to mean (unsurprisingly) 10 times, not 11 times.

The "hybrid" PDAF followed by a CDAF pulse is what makes native AF-S useless for me and stops me buying more native lenses. A very static subject is ok, but let's say it's someone talking. PDAF ...

AF set to "release", "balanced", or "AF" ? Also on at least some A7 models with some lenses past f8 you run in to the stopped down focusing / no PDAF issue. Cheers, Andrew

Multiplication by 0.5 is the same as dividing by two.
"p times faster than q" and "p times the speed of q" both deal with a comparison of p and q and do not deal with the delta.

The DR even of some old cameras is very good and good enough for most uses, agreed. Test - it is not possible to compare by how much is clipped because its relative to the shadow detail. There is ...

As well as not agreeing with you, (0.5 times faster is half the speed) , I'll be that guy and point out "sec" isn't a unit, it has to be second or s.

When you screen grab you'll have the colours that are seen because a monitor profile is applied but the file doesn't have that profile assigned. You need to ASSIGN your monitor profile and then ...

Sometimes adapted lenses perform BETTER for AF-S. Example, A7RII - Metabones IV - 35LII beats native A7RII + 55mm Different story if you try AF-C and eye AF but one shot locks are faster and 100% ...

Different lens mounted prior to the Sigma, maybe uses the last known? Or different default focal length in the different firmwares. Andrew

This is the reason I prefer the focusing of Canon 35L II (and 35L before it) on MBIV or MC-11 to native lenses (using A7RII). You get the PDAF AF-S rather than hybrid AF-S. Hybrid AF with the 55mm ...

A7RII flex focus boxes are white when thumb pad as joystick is active and black when not active. Tried a A9 and lost the focus point a few times.

Example, on a Sunny day you are in M mode and set an exposure time of 1/100th and aperture of f2.8. What ISO do you expect the camera to choose? If the lowest ISO is ISO100 it will be 5 stops over ...

Take the Minolta 7D sensor, no banding when pushed, good colour, good DR. Its much low res but at least its not got artifacts at ISO100. I wasn't suggesting going backwards, but move...

We had some really good sensors with very little issues well over 10 years ago and there are plenty of problem free models now. It seems amazing to me that people will buy expensive cameras with...

Have you an example of the effect on a A7RII? Differently sensor design, probably different coatings. Andrew

The Sony models react differently to this though, probably connected to how they handle ghost highlights / sensor cover glass reflections as well as the different PDAF versions. A6000 showed the...

Lines like that were first seen in the A6000 under the same circumstances. Sad they are back on a new model. Fails basic testing.

Photography is creating an image with light, still photography and video photography are subsets.

I'd take a 5DIV or D850 if I was primarily using a 70-200/2.8 with image stabilization. If I was using mostly with a flash gun mounted also.
With a 35/1.4 with the IBIS, Sony A7RIII all the way,...
