Just so you know - I went to work for 8-9 hours between starting the thread and finishing my post and coming home, finishing it and posting. And I didn't push reload on my browser. Crazy right? :-) ...

Different people use cameras differently. There is a situation where I don't know what or if I will be shooting and I don't want to take a collection on lenses just in case. That situation - I ...

And the only evidence I have seen that the issue is a component issue are blogs.

Control motors only being able to control accurately in on direction does not make sense to me and I have seen no...

Bloggers/authors have the same info that is available to me an you if we look for it.
The really good ones, like Thom notice little factoids from the public sources, apply some analysis, deduction...

@Mathew Saville - same with me. I read a lot of blogs including Thom's, scour through manuals, knowledge base articles etc.

I've seen Thom (and others) make comments about the aperture arm, but I...

The 24-120 is fairly wide - not ultra wide but definitely wide - you might be able to live with that for some time - it's roughly the same as 16mm on a DX body. Same on the tele end. The 24-120 is ...

Because: a) not many people here in the forums will buy a D5 b) and the D5 has been announced and the specs and features discussed about as much as they can be until the manual is posted and/or ...

@photomedium:
If no one else, science and medicine still value stills for sports (medicine, science) and wildlife (science).
In any case sport and wildlife stills are probably more extensively...

@Matthew Saville - I did google you - I assume you're the photographer not the motion picture guy? If so nice site and lovely work.

I've bookmarked your site and I look forward to our E -lens...

Well it's said the aperture control in LV is a mechanical limitation.
I haven't seen any real evidence of that.
After all the mechanism has the required power to actually open and hold the aperture...

Sound like awesome lenes - really good that Sony is stating the resolution they are designing for - I have not seen this mentioned by any of the usual suspects.

But it also looks like what a lot...

@Ssantana - No one has said "I'm an X therefore you should listen to me".
Why should we listen to you?
Because you work "next to" a photographer? What does that mean? Security guard? Drinks...

And oh yeah incomprehensibly not being able to change apertures in LV. Again possibly a hardware issue but that doesn't seem all that likely to me.
And now we have E lenses it's still not clear to...

@Mathew - Off the top of my head 1/4000 shutter speeds, bracketing limitations,display in viewfinder electronic level disabled on 1 axis, though it works in two and even displays in two if you hold...

Arbitrary disabling of features, subtle crippling... as a Nikon user I'd call that "pulling a Nikon".

The grass is always greener and all that.
:-)

I think Nikon are more generous with features...

Do you people mean DR or do you mean ISO invariance?

It's uses different colour temp "white" LEDs. As well as RGB:
"it is equipped with 160 LEDs designed to match daylight, 160 LEDs to match tungsten lighting and 40 further LEDs that are RGB SMD lamps."

Why only mirrorless? Just curious.

That would be handy. The other (in my head) related thing I'd like to see is a way to put the MyMenu in the 'i' menu or bind it to the 'i' menu button.

You said "Here is impossible to tell a full stop much less 1/3 of the stop." I said I could see the difference. Both between the purported full and 1/3rd stops. Then diffeeI did tell the difference. ...
