Micro USB can die like the POS connector is always has been.  USB-C has more than just reversibility on its side. In no particular order here are things USB-C can do that Micro USB cannot (1) USB-C has ...

Pro-tip for Pixel phones, shoot in night sight at all times unless you have a moving subject.  The IQ difference between it and the standard camera is staggering regardless of how dark or light it ...

Because they are awesome. My Pixel 3 is a fantastic camera when shot with Night Sight. The level of detail it can resolve combined with low levels of noise is commendable. My Sony mirrorless is ...

Speaking as someone who writes software for a living; camera firmware and an OS like Android or iOS with full fledged app development APIs are very different animals.  The camera's firmware is far ...

SD cards are a horrible form of backup, they aren't intended for long term storage and will fail if not energized frequently enough.  Also the cards in my camera are expensive; i'm not buying any ...

The difference in weight between the a7 III + tamron and a6600 + 16-55 isn't significant enough to sway a decision.  What's more significant is the size/weight of the other glass you intend to get ...

I actually just bought some gear.  I've been eyeing a telephoto purchase for a long time; was able to get a mint SEL70300G OSS for $700 used.  I only have one lens purchase left; something wide.  ...

For FF cameras I'd say the 3rd generation Sony FE bodies.  No FF DSLR anywhere near the a7 III's price tag could touch it at launch or even still today.  The a7 III put mirroless FF on the map for ...

I've owned both lenses.  The image quality between the two is a wash, with the Zony being slightly sharper wide open.  However, the Samyang's AF motor is LOUD; its entirely unsuitable for video.  ...

Did you even read the article I posted? Fuji also ranks just as high in terms of color accuracy. Any criticism of Sony here must also apply to Fuji. Fuji bodies offer some film simulation modes ...

Have you seen the resale on a Land Rover product? "very well" isn't how I'd choose to describe it.

Except that's all nonsense. When Sony's cameras are blind tested or they're scientifically tested with x-rite color checkers and calibrated spectrometers they perform very well and match the ...

The Giotto's rocket blower gets the job done and comes in two sizes, one of which is very compact and fits in a small bag nicely. Basically I only use the blower on the sensor if I see dust. I ...

I doubt you'd see a difference unless you shot at the upper limits of the cameras ISO values.

But you can carry 5 people in comfort as well as lumber with a pickup truck, especially if its a coil sprung Ram 1500 with reclining rear seats :)  SUV you gotta choose between passengers or cargo.

The X-T4 does have some advantages in terms of video: it can shoot 4k in 60fps, shoot 4k 30fps without cropping the sensor, has the Canon style flippy screen etc.  Both are features I with my Sony ...

The Tamron has the additional advantage in this use case of very close focus.

Agree 100%.  In my own home I've got great bright "daylight" temp lighting.  Plenty of family members don't share my enthusiasm for lighting.  ISO values of 3200-12800 aren't uncommon for me. It's ...

OP mentioned trying the a7R IV kit as a pet event; didn't mention that such is the entirety of their photographic envelope.  IBIS will help with street, people and events, nightscapes, etc.

The 16-70 is a soft lens. The a6400 wouldn't help much at all.  The a6500/a6600 adds IBIS which will help sharpness with your primes lens. The f/1.4 Sigma trio might be what you are looking for if ...
