Excuse my ignorance, what is CFA?

I'm looking for a FF camera to add to my Panasonic GH4, and after looking at the new Pentax K1 and Nikon D750, tried a Sony A7r II at the camera shop. So much about the A7r II seems excellent, but ...

But I so want to be able to take waist level shots; this is why I originally sold my D700. If the K1 images have something of the special D700 image quality, I can live with a limited lens ...

Thanks for this reply.

A follow-up question; how about focusing in live view?  The D700 had two options - slow CD or faster standard AF with the mirror flapping around (which I usually used). For landscapes and ...

I sold my D700 and lenses a couple of years ago, in favour of a Panasonice GH4 plus lenses. I so much like to use a camera at waist level, and sometimes below, that the lack of even a tilting ...

Right or wrong, I don't think you'll get the sympathy vote on this forum. I'm sure that by now most on this forum will have a fair idea of AF-C and its limitations, as highlighted by DpReview.  How ...

Not worth replying to in detail, but enough to say this latest post confirms my earlier point.

Unless I can reclaim the two Pentax lenses I gave away with my film Pentax several years ago, I have no lenses at all.  I'll have to buy one at least to get started.  I was thinking of the 24-70 ...

There are many bitter and frustrated people in this world, and the internet enables them to unleash their anger and bitterness without having to face their targets. It's their problem, not ours.

Quite right Ari.  Your initial post was fine and made no claims to being anything other than a brief summary of your feelings about the camera. I asked in a previous post about AF in live view, and ...

Thanks, sounds like it will be OK for me. Incidentally, I wouldn't buy another camera that didn't have at least a tilting screen, for the reason you give.

Any more opinions?

The DPreview of the K1 got so hung up on what the author saw as AF failings that it made absolutely no mention of live view autofocus. I am considering buying a K1, but use live view on a regular ...

The original black background site was distinctive, but I find black text on a white background much easier to read and more restful on the eyes.

Yes, sorry, a typo. Thanks for your reply.

Thank you, I had completely forgotten this but remember now. Some years ago I had a D5100 which also could not auto focus some lenses.

My brother in law bought a D320 plus 2 lenses 3 years ago on line.  One was a Nikon 70-300mm. It has no AF on/off switch and will not auto focus. I presumed it to be faulty but his son says it ...

The only one of my customers to be a professional photographer (specialising in architectural photography) uses a full frame Canon but told me he uses a Canon compact whenever he can because of ...
