It's enabled, but it certainly doesn't "work" in the sense that the AF may not be accurate. After all, Sony G 70-300 and Tamron SP 70-300 USD are not the same lenses and using the on sensor AF ...

That's because it's easy, not because it's the future or that Sigma was told to halt lens development for A mount. E mount is easy to develop for because it's more or less an open standard. I ...

I'm afraid it won't be any easier to use A mount glass on mirrorless Canon or Nikon. As for Sony, I think that with mark IV, they might actually introduce a larger E-mount body, with a proper and ...

Depending on your needs, A-mount might be a better choice even for newcomers. If you want to have stabilization in all lenses and very good AF, then A99ii with 24-70 and 70-200 works a treat. If ...

Ok, just because I have too much time... I asked why compact digicams had slow and inaccurate AF, even though compact film cameras had fast and accurate AF. You didn't give me an answer. Or, more ...

I have to admit I never would have expected an ignoble reply like this in the Open Talk section. It took me a while to actually take it in and think up a response. This question is virtually the ...

RX10 would have been awesome if that lens was removable and you could instead stick a 1.0/10-30 (25-80/2.6 equivalent) lens on it, and then switch to a 2.6-4/30-300 (something like 80-800/7.1-10 ...

Good luck. 77ii is a great camera and you'll be happy with it. I still feel you should try out the 68 if you can rent it and shoot alongside a 77ii to compare the results. If the 68 is good ...

You might be confusing A68 with A65. The 68 does have MFA.

The acceptable ISO ranking on DxOMark site is misleading. A900 is listed with barely higher usable ISO than A700, but I had no problems using A900 at 1600, while I was wary of using ISO 800 on ...

Barney, "Lens reviews and buying guides are different kinds of content, produced in different ways, aimed at fulfilling different needs. It's a false equivalence."
Unless they're prepared by...

Yeah, I understood that. I just noted to myself that it makes sense since having two batteries in the grip does not add any extra power density. So that's one possible avenue out, unless those ...

5400 HS will only fire at full power. No TTL flash. I do love the design of 5200i-5400HS, though. There have been some reports of getting the 5400HS to work with ADI (some soldering needed), making ...

Figures, really, I guess, since there's battery management and it only drains a single battery. That's something to check. Just make sure to get two different brands in case one duplicates the ...

You mention 500/4 and 70-400 G2 lenses. Don't those have new ring motors? I would expect they might need more power, and hence draw more current. Perhaps the draw is high enough to cause a voltage ...

What I meant is flash memory specifically. The one that's ubiquitous in portable memory cards, USB sticks, SSDs (SATA, NVMe, and other standards and form factors).
And I will stand by my...

@badi: Unlike other semiconductors, flash does not scale well.
More levels per cell -- less writes, significantly slower, overprovisioning needed for error correction and wear levelling*.
Smaller...

The reason I suggested that is that with a tele lens, you typically take a series of pictures and you have a number of them to review, unlike with a standard, where you might have less time ...

How long were you reviewing pictures? Maybe it's a firmware leftover from compact cameras where the lens retracts when you're in review mode long enough.

The first test he did was with 1Ds vs. Provia 100 scanned on his Imacon scanner. He was criticized for that, true enough. That's why he repeated the test some time later with a drum scan of Velvia....
