If you're being pedantic about it, the Touit is slightly longer, but most people understand a bigger lens to mean significantly larger. In day to day operational use they are functionally the same ...

The Touit isn't bigger than the SEL35 or slower focussing. It isn't noisy either - just not silent. It does have a harsher bookeh though, I'll give you that. It's up to you if you prefer the Sony, ...

I don't know anything about the Sigma 30/1.4 but I've got the Touit 32 and the Sigma 30/2.8 and the Zeiss is a much better lens - in fact there's no real comparison. The Sigma only really wins out ...

It's actually not that close. Check out Matthew Durr's excellent review . Scroll to the bottom of the page for a comparison with the Sony.

I think the review should be drawing a negative conclusion about Nikon's failure to implement any kind of IBIS.

The technology is mature and has been present in DSLRs from other manufacturers in...

Me too - a great journalist and photographer. Very sadly missed.

Hi Ann I had the Sony 16-50 and the 16-80ZA on the A77 and I sold the 16-50 and kept the Zeiss. It's a very good lens but the Zeiss is slightly sharper and has better colour and at 5x is just a ...

It was explained by Richard; the camera shows a single frame live update between each shot. It doesn't show the last shot, it shows a single live image.

A mirrored camera doesn't show an...

I've only seen video reviews of the Sony Dan but it has two stage barrel extension and the Olympus doesn't extend at all. The Sony lens also has the focussing ring behind the the zoom ring which I ...

Glad the 810 'rivals medium format image quality at ISO 64' since it is the size and weight of a medium format camera.

It's enormous. Every time I look at it I think; 'why is it so big?'
And; 'How...

The problem is not the sharpness of the GM 24-70 - it is very sharp - but more the sharpness of the owners.

Where have you heard rumours of manufacturing problems?

A nice argument if Sony Imaging was a cottage industry working out of a garage. If it hadn't bought out Minolta's imaging arm, which was older than Canon's and had more experience making autofocus ...

Why would they? That's a very naive thing to say. I doubt even fifty percent of internet forum users are real people. Stealth marketing and astroturfing is a huge problem. Here's a link to a BBC ...

Well, Sony has a 300mm f2.8 and a 500mm f4. I think it's highly likely they will eventually compete in this segment but not with a camera like this - the future of action photography is likely to...

JT there is a stealth marketing war on the internet using forums. Individuals working for marketing agencies create tens and sometimes hundreds of fake identities and then post negatively about ...

There is no evidence of any of the things you mention. I could tell you that my copy plays .Sympathy for the devil' when it focuses. I'm just another guy on a forum talking sh*te.

If you have literally 'lost count' of the number of lenses you've had to return then YOU are the problem. Also consider how accurate your thread title is and how it slanders the company. I have ...

This isn't a resolution chart, it's a simplified graphic representation of the data. I like Amateur Photographer and bought it religiously from the late seventies until about five- six years ago ...

Sorry, but who buys a camera an writes a post like yours. You sound like an astroturfer. Post a picture of your gear and I might believe you're a real user.
