Saaaaaaad

Sure, but if you wanted F1.8 and extreme sharpness, you wouldn't use the Tamron 28-70 or 70-180 either.

It seems weird to me to carry a G prime, and then drop that mindset for F2.8 third party...

The tamron 17-28 also has a 67mm filter size. You could just carry a Tamron zoom trinity and be covered.

If I was to pair this lens with anything, i'd probably go with the 55mm zeiss.

That's even worse, photojournalism is about capturing true, live events. Once again, this is a picture of a projection.

I love all of the other winners, but I don't think a lotta people are gonna...

Point is, I don't think photographing a projection should count as wildlife photography. The original "actual" wildlife photo may not have been that impressive.

What is it like in the future? Did Trump get re-elected? Who should I bet on in the next soccer world cup?

Is this is a significant improved on the A9? No.
Is this the best sports camera you can get at $4500? Yes.

Sony have released so many advancements that people are just holding them to a higher...

Because each lens would need a filter system built in to it (so as not to change the distance between the lens and the sensor) and then would probably only be able to take 1 filter anyway.

@Tommi K: ISO is not standardized. ISO 1000 on a M4/3 is not ISO 1000 on full frame. It's not 1/3-2/3 stops difference as you say. There are a lot of factors at play (such a pixel density and size...

As someone who used to shoot M4/3, the only thing that made me switch was poor DR and high ISO performance. Maybe also AF (given the lower models are only CDAF). They dont need to chase...

I'm a Sony mirrorless shooter myself, and a I really don't get all of the comments saying this camera will be DOA or not impressive.

Many people still love their DSLRs, and would still rather buy...

I mean, if news of a new camera being developed doesn't interest you, I don't know what you're doing on this site.

It's not any camera, it's their flagship. Not to mention is a high end DSLR while...

I see this "DPR just covers Sony" crap a lot. Is there news on from the other brands that DPR didn't cover? Care to provide some examples of newsworthy reports from other sites that DPR didn't cover?

Why not just get the 17-28 F2.8? You could get a prime in that range, but you'll often be stopping down on wide angle shots anyway to get more in focus.

Ah, lens flaws of older lenses are "character" and accurate reproduction is "soulless."

How pretentious can you get?

I really hope Chris and Jordan don't start taking these videos as seriously as you take yourself. There's an entertainment factor to their videos which you don't seem to appreciate. It's what makes...

@koclasek: which is why the competition needs to step it up.

As a side note, you can actually see the reflection of the photographer in her right eye.

@Saman Shamim: So which one's the accurate reproduction? Where's the reference shot you're using to say these colours are so far off? I'd suggest waiting for the DPReview studio tests before you...
