In this particular case, it's a stacked sensor with a global shutter. But it doesn't need to be a stacked sensor to have global shutter. And it's not a global all pixel readout, it's just very fast ...

Sony has totally sidestepped all expectations that people had and announced a completely different camera that changes the game yet again. Kudos, Sony. Nikon is safe with Z8 and Z9 being ...

@panther fan: It was pointed out that the green ring denoting DO takes precedence over the red "L" lens ring. Michael Reichmann said as much in his review of the 400/4 DO L USM:...

Somebody once said that if you try calibrating a high end monitor, you'll end up decalibrating it. Which makes a lot of sense when you realize that not only do they use those expensive...

Trust me, those cameras are really hard to brick. I actually hoped I bricked my A99ii by a failed firmware upgrade because insurance would cover the repairs. I tried with some random USB cable and ...

@Tweets_Core: I'd be fine with a current version or one of the past versions with a perpetual license. Sure, programmers should fix bugs and make sure software is secure, but if I'm happy with the...

Bokeh is absolutely a real phenomenon. It's really hard to train to see it if you have normal vision but those of us who are myopic can just take off their glasses and see bokeh. And let me tell...

People who use Adobe products have a love-hate relationship because they're licensed with a paid subscription rather than a perpetual license, but they integrated Adobe products into their...

The author specifically mentions that the blur tool was set to simulate a doughnut (ring) bokeh of a catadioptric lens.
-
And it's enabled in-camera, not on the flash.

Not immune to technical problems, but with Sony branded lenses they keep (or kept) stock of replacement parts and could make effort to repair them. The agreement to take responsibility for repairs ...

Probably yes. You can test the effect of EFCS on bokeh and evenness of exposure yourself. Try different apertures. If there is a difference between exposures, it will be dramatic. I wouldn't sweat ...
-
They put these disclaimers as CYAs. There are two things at play here: 1. Bokeh differences. I've seen videos about the differences between mechanical shutter and EFCS and the effect was never ...
-
The only reason to not use EFCS is under flickering light if the camera fails to detect and adjust to flicker. Nothing else.
-
The reason I brought it up is because people sort of expect 135/1.8 to be a fast sports lens. I don't see anything in that press announcement that would scream it's a fast sports lens in addition...

Sony made their 135/1.8 GM as a great portrait lens, but also gave it very fast and accurate AF so it's very much usable for indoor sports. It's a two in one lens in that regard. Did Nikon make a...
-
Ain't it the truth! I take pictures at my kids' school for free and I tried the 135/1.8 on my old A99 II and it defintiely wasn't the best lens for that. Too much distance even for head shots, and...
-
There's no substitute to testing. At 1/1250, there should be no discernible difference due to EFCS, but as it's a focal plane shutter, vibration is never completely eliminated. My advice would be ...

@spider-mario: Sigma DG 135/1.8 has one advantage over native mirrorless lenses. The rear element is recessed deep enough that it's possible to use a teleconverter with it. A 135/1.8 becomes a...
