Unfortunately, he opted to test the A7III using compressed raw which does not perform like uncompressed raw does in situations like this. So, although the Sony still came out on top, he actually ...

If you're okay with f/2.8, the Zeiss Batis is absolutely phenomenal. This is a full size image shot with the A9... Coming from the Canon 135L, I love that this lens is an APO design. And, as much ...

Yup! Yup! That's why I say to start with that argument, just to see how much the other person knows, which lets you know how much 'splaining you're going to have to do 😂

Raw files MUST be processed by software to even be viewed. Lead with that counter argument next time 😁 That said: (1) Depending on the software used, the raw file may not need anything. Canon's ...

Truth! 😂

😂 When I say "draft" I mean that I write it out, then go back and proofread and make minor changes in order to (hopefully) avoid a stream-of-consciousness type of appearance.

Agree wholeheartedly! That's why I mentioned several times in my post that this was just a fraction of the data out of Japan and that we need substantially more information to draw any sort of ...

Happy you like it, Kenneth. As one of the few people who have used it, and given your very favorable impression of it, could you share your thoughts and experience with regards to moving the AF ...

Sounds like I wasn't too far off! Thank you so much!

They aren't, generally. Only in a situation where "gouging" and "exploitation" are being discussed. The term "exploitative" (and "price gouging") is generally reserved for situations where one ...

That goes for all cameras. That's my point. I've heard of people getting 7,000 images from an A9 and having a lot of battery life left. Personally, I haven't noticed a difference in battery life ...

Agreed, in many cases! I have no doubt that being a better PP'er would improve my images substantially. It's simply a skill/talent that, for me, hasn't improved at a rate commiserate with the ...

Well, a 6D Mark II is rated to 1200 shots per batter so I assume you're carrying 13+ batteries already for that, right? Or, you're simply applying real-world usage to one scenario, that cameras ...

Gotta go with Fred Miranda's site as well. Easy and a great community.

Seems like something MagMod could improve on dramatically. For a price.

Ahhh crap! I had written it out in my original draft with the second bullet point about the R and Z7 being at different price points and then deleted the part about the Z6 in favor of adding it as ...

I feel like I might understand the above part of your post but I'm not certain. Are you pointing out that I mentioned that the z7 is only available as a kit in Japan (as far as I know) but that it ...

my first paragraph Was similar although not nearly as detailed. So, noted! They are not counted as sales until the transaction takes place which typically happens in the first week or two once the ...

reference: https://www.bcnretail.com/market/detail/20181103_91600.html I want to start by saying that I personally feel like this is just a couple of data points and is simply a "neat to know" bit ...

Here are a couple of links to support my position: I'll start by referencing the almost-always derided, yet often reliable in situations like this, Wikipedia : In short: "price gouging" can only ...
