The A99 is an excellent camera.  Costs about 1K used.  It has 6FPS, GPS, a deeper buffer(18FPS), Faster AF, Flip screen, EVF, is a little better in low light. The A99ii is more expensive, and buys ...

You can always try to fake the colors in a raw editor, but in my experience, its not the same.   Especially if you are taking pictures of people.

Well, I think the 24mm is also SSM.    It would be nice, if the 135mm and 85mm had SSM. Esp that 85mm, it is slow. At the moment though, the 135mm F1.8 doesnt exist for E mount.

The A99ii's eye AF is very good as long as you are using a Sony(not tamron or sigma) SSM lens.

IMO, the A9 looks like a great camera. Its got that silent shutter which would be really nice for weddings. However, the price tag will be really high for an A9 and lenses(FE2470 F2.8 and 85mm and ...

On the other hand, there is no reason to trust their tech.   It would be one thing, if they were just taking over Lexars Manufacturing process, but that doesnt appear to be the case. I wouldnt line ...

You didnt get the A6500, why not? Why were you even considering it? People who are adapting lenses are the primary target for the A6500. And as someone who had a reason to adapt lenses, you didnt ...

1) I don't think that is a "major" exception. Its too expensive, people who are buying the A6500 are paying $400-$500 extra, just for IBIS.  Do you have an A6500? You can buy the A7ii for about ...

That sounds interesting, but would you trust this new company to produce fast and reliable cards.  It seems like they are lexar in name only.

Personally, I feel that the 16-50mm PZ lens is a trap. People think the Emount is small because it comes with the small kit lens. But that lens is terrible. An RX100m3 is as good as an A6300 with ...

The 16-50mm SSM is image stabilized, when on an A-mount body. The Sigma Lenses will not be stabilized, on an APSC emount body(Except for the A6500)

They are not image stabilized, unlike the 16-50mm SSM.   Plus now you are carrying 3 lenses(and probably an extra battery), and having to change them, which is much more cumbersome than an A57 ...

If the little stop nub is broken/worn, I would just try to rebuild it with a tiny bit of  gel super glue. Try not to ruin your lens.  Good luck.

Set the camera to S mode(Shutter), and dial the shutter speed to an appropriate speed. Let the camera deal with Aperture and ISO. Start at 1/50, and if its still blurry, go to 1/100.. then 1/200... ...

Depends on what "IT" is. The A7ii could have been had for $800 open box/best buy, when it was on sale for $1098 new(recently) If I had to choose between an A7ii at $800 or an A7 at $500, I would ...

Well, the first thing I would do is take a pic of whats broken.  Is it the lens or the hood?

I should clarify that the dust flew into the first lens group(Maybe 2 lenses), even thought they were stuck together. I guess they are glued together, but not sealed together.

Dont DO IT! I have a Tamron 70-200mm USD lens that had a piece of dust right in the center. It annoyed me, so I opened lens thinking I could blow off the dust. Unfortunately the front lens is ...

Nothing has to be redesigned.  Sony Intentionally crippled SLT cameras with that F3.5 limitation. There was actually a work around for the A77, that allowed people to select their own aperture.  ...

Probably around $3k, like the A99ii
