How bad is it, really? I just realized that the lens I've been using lately doesn't say OSS anywhere on it, so the IBIS must be doing something for me! :) (I've got the A6500.) All of the ...

Wouldn't pros want to go for FF?  I mean, I know a lot of pros have used APS-C bodies in the past, but now, not sure it makes sense.  An APS-C camera with more features surely would end up just ...

When I looked into it a long time ago, it seemed like it only affected extreme light/dark transitions, and would mostly be a problem for me with astrophotography.  I'm sure you can find detailed ...

I used the Nex-6 for about 6 years, before upgrading to the A6500.  Nothing really wrong with the Nex-6, although the 6500 adds a few really nice features.  Realistically, I could keep using the ...

When the Sony Nex cameras came out, I think they were often ignored as just being consumer-level, but the sensors were top-notch, and the 18-55 kit lens was pretty good.  Really good at some focal ...

The caution sign on the left-side is definitely blurrier on the Fuji, but the bricks in the rear look better. I don't know what to make of it.  I'm not a fan of aggressive NR, but the Fuji does a ...

Back in the early Nex days, it was suggested that the RAW file is probably affected in that it may need to underexpose slightly, to ensure that the highlights are preserved before processing.  ...

You really have to press people, and then they come up with things like taking photos at evening rodeos where you're trying to freeze the action.  OK, if you're going to create the most extreme ...

My problem is that I always can find a way to justify some obscure lens for a reason.  :-)  I try not to do too much duplication. Maybe it'd be different if I had expensive lenses where I felt that ...

I guess in that case, he could pick up a used A6300 for cheaper? You can always wait, and miss out on using the newer fun thing that's right there.  A big problem is waiting for this mythical APS-C ...

When you switch systems, there will be some learning curve, but people either like or hate the smaller size.  Personally, I got tired of lugging around a bulky DSLR.  Biggest adjustment may be the ...

DxO has a lot of options when it comes to color.  The default setting, as I recall, isn't my favorite either, but I switched it to match the camera, and it does a good job, perhaps still tending ...

Me too.  A few years ago, I finally got to the point where I stopped (mostly) worrying about ISO, or at least not so much. What I want to try is to revisit photos from years ago, and see if I can ...

TL;DR it doesn't matter what card you use, the Sony APS-C cameras have a speed limit of about 30MB/s. I tested two memory cards -- a Kingston Canvas Go! Plus 64GB and Samsung PRO Plus 128GB. Memory ...

That's odd, I think I'd prefer the latter.  I don't think I'd make much use of 20fps particularly if it still has this rolling shutter issue.  More distorted frames isn't an improvement.  At least ...

Some people think of PP as heavy Photoshop editing - cloning out objects, or maybe playing with various special effects. And the implication is also that it needs to be done for every photo, ...

I've gone to one of the airshows at Pensacola - I like the beachfront shows.  And you got a great shot there. And yeah, 800 is no problem!  Probably need a 64GB card for that.  Big memory cards are ...

I think DxO is better for most "everyday" use, while Topaz maybe for things that need further attention.  There are things Topaz does that DxO doesn't, so you can justify looking at both.  But you ...

Yeah, that brings up a point -- for anyone trying to figure out what software they might want, now's the time to check out the software and see if you want it, so that you can jump on the sales ...

What kind of PP are you trying to do?  A lot of times I want to tweak the exposure and the sharpness, and maybe a couple of other things.  Usually not much, and only takes a couple of minutes with ...
