Hi, it depends on your style of shooting. For general wildlife there's no doubt the longer the better. And a zoom has the flexibility to change framing w/o the need to move around. I'd say the ...

Even formatting is separate for both slots.

Hi Ed, having made a similar observation since I changed in 2012 to my current A99 there's one thing that for sure changed in relation to previous A700 and A850: I'm shooting more frequently at ...

Of course I see the appeal of the high resolution which serves several purposes being the ability for crop or the creation of several individual lower MP images certainly among them. But there's ...

For my needs I would have like much more an A99IIs with some of the goodies of the A9 - among them a 24MP sensor. Continous advance at 8fps "normal" and 12fps "fast" - but certainly with the ...

Marco: Thanks for the reply. Concerning light beams coming up-front, sun or other light sources, you're absolutelt right: it not takes much to throw the AF of the A99 off - which I've noticed ...

Hi Marco, attending a Half Marathon yesterday with my A99M1 one spot I selected on an old steel frame bridge demanded shooting in portrait orientation to some of the steel structure in the image. ...

Hi, one could get different output versions of one RAW input, for example with different amount of highlight and shadow recovery or corrections applied via Local Adjustments (layer) but there's no ...

Well, on trips when I used to carry an A99 + 24-70 + 70-400 I now pick my RX10M3. This option may be a bit limiting for eventual higher ISO shooting - but how often this is the case? At the same ...

Not sure about the close-up/macro of m3-m5 but the lens of the m1/m2 has its closest focus @28mm which is almost up to the lens (5cm). This allows for such a camera pretty interesting ...

Actually the uncertainty about fast (continous) AF performance held me back until now to use my RX100M1 and RX10M1/M3 when this is a critical factor and I pick my A99. And on my A99 I'm getting the ...

Hi, concerning IQ there's little to win or loose from M1 to M5 for photography purposes. Perhaps the latest versions have an edge for high ISO but I'm using my RX100M1 at same ISO settings as the ...

You may need to check in the cam's manual whether the actual frame rate selected in continous is related to a focus lock on the first frame - which is the case on some cameras in their fastest ...

Hi, being aware of this issue I started to wonder about how stills shooting with light added to the scene by LED panels might be affected? Or is this a non issue because in field those panels are ...

Hi, there was the silver Minolta - AF 28-80 F3.5-5.6 II which was sold in kits with late film SLRs (505si I suppose). And later I had a very cheap Sigma 3,5-5,6/18-50 DC Both excellent - as paper ...

Hi, some points may need some further analyse to make sure what is possibly going wrong and if there's something which can be improved. First is to check what ISOs you are speaking of and why you ...

Hi, you could fire during the long exposure for the landscape manually a flash, off-cam and at a low power setting to avoid the "flash look". This would freeze elements close to the cam - as long ...

Owning the RX100M1 myself and knowing that there's some sensitivity concerning blown out highlights (clouds; sky) on sunny days it's better to compensate and adjust then in post a bit.

Hi, the right tool will depend on your needs. If you want to remove some dust spots only or some minor unwanted object most available editing software will do it. Also for example RAW ...

Nice shots. I'd say a little bit underexposed but this should be easy to correct.
