That wasn’t my point at all. I’m happy with my Nikon SLRs, I like SLRs. I went mirrorless and back twice now and I don’t intend to do it again. I got tired of trading reliability and smooth...

I really wonder where Nikon will go with this.The D810 is, for Nikon users at least, a near perfect camera. Some things they could do to actually improve on it.

It is POSSIBLE to increase the effective flange distance optically (remember those FD to EOS glass adapters?) Whether or not the results are any good is totally different story…

The term bokeh balls is the worst thing to happen to photography in a long, long time.

Pros:

• Lots and lots of specs*
• Catching up to the state of SLRS in the current decade in the areas of battery life, responsiveness, and UI
• E-Shutter and related artifacts not THAT bad
• Less...

Seems to have similar look to the 58 1.4, which is a great thing IMO. Its nice to see how Nikon is developing a certain “look” for each line. Looks like the new 1.4s are a sharp but a bit creamy,...

All this 12-bit compression, EFC shutter, and ISO invariance weirdness really turns me off to the AX Series. I’m a sucker for preserving the highlight shoulder (the opposite of the old “expose for...

I’ve been working on a dream compact in my head for while now.

I think my Coolpix A is about the best digital compact so far, its about as small as an APS-C compact can get. I don’t like smaller...

…but what about the Flickr awards?

The D600 is not my reference for a pro camera, its just what I have. And besides the AF features I still at a bit of a loss as the real differences.

The 1Ds/D5s in particular (and to a lesser...

Are FPS and AF points the new/only metrics for pro cameras? I'm still not convinced the A9 will be a hit with the pros...

Can someone explain to me how this is a pro camera besides the fact that Sony's marketing says so? The feature set looks like a mid-level SLR with 20 FPS (with the right settings), an AF-ON button,...

Perhaps “Canon and Nikon still own most of the professional market because Sony still can’t get it right” isn’t the most buzzworthy headline….

“If you don't appreciate the capability to quickly change subject tracking AF to eye AF, then the A9's not for you“

Exactly my point. In all my years of photography I’ve never felt I was missing...

My point was not to criticize the explanation of the features but questioning the usefulness of all of these hot new features. Sonys have always has lots of features that seem like solutions...

Does anyone else think this stuff sounds overly complicated? I never really wished for any one these features in my Nikons and AF has never been an issue for me.

If its anything like my old A7,...

I seriously doubt that there are any full time pros that would go to an adapter based solution for all their lenses just to get 20 FPS…

Pros use what makes consistant and predictably good images....

I think this article outlines why, at least for now, Nikon and Canon will remain the top choices for sports pros. Despite what the Sony fans say, the A9 is NOT going to be the death knell of the...

In what way is it a D5/1Dx challenger? Because Sony said so? Because it has a high frame rate? Doesn’t the EM-1 from 2013 have a similar frame rate to a D5/1Dx? And there were none of these on the...
