The A1 came out 4 years ago. It came out before the "AI chip" was developed. It came out before Sony had developed everything you wanted. So there was no way you could have had the A1 II back ... Do we know know that Sony isn't willing to share the needed information? Or is it that the strobe makers haven't offered to license it? I'd like to see the ability to use studio strobes at any sync ... I bought the V1 (the predecessor to the V100) to try with the A9 III, and that one is definitely manual flash only - I managed to get it to work at 1/80000, but it was fiddly. As you say, the big ... If it's something hard (like sand), a wet clean could mean dragging something across the sensor cover glass, potentially scratching it. That's why a blower is a good first choice. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollar there are more than 25 currencies called "dollars". There are more countries using dollars, though, because a number of countries use other ... Congratulations. Looks like the packaging is not quite as expected... Lithium batteries are less subject to that than other types. Nickel cadmium and even Ni-MH batteries were worse. Some lead-acid batteries are even worse. The recommended way to store lithium ... I don't have a single camera setup, so the "should fit in a backpack" criterion doesn't apply. If I'm about to go photograph birds in flight I'll usually take a long lens and a fast camera. For ... No real-world experience yet, but I think the f/8 is going to be an issue in the UK. You are always welcome to bring it to Australia - we have more sunshine here. Just remember your sunscreen! Why is it that everyone starting one of these threads thinks that the lens they want is a "gaping hole" in the Sony lens lineup? I guess someone who really really wants a specific lens, they can ... There are multiple aspects to "raw speed": (1) higher maximum shutter speed: 1/80000 (2) higher frame rate (3) much higher flash sync speed (up to ... Sony is getting heavily into responsible packaging. I have plenty of the black and orange boxes, and then the A1 II plain white box. Cannot say I'm surprised to see this (the US term for this is ... The A7V will probably arrive some time, but there is supposed to be some kind of delay. Some people think it should be here now, but the suggestion is that something has delayed, possibly until ... maybe more attractive to you. I want the extra length, and less weight. Different people, different wants. That's normal.
3 weeks ago Depends on which A9 you mean. I have owned an A9 II and an A9 III. Quite different. And I own an A6700. The A9 III is most definitely the best of the lot. Definitely a fine choice, I have no ... I've noticed that Sony seem to be releasing mostly G and GM lenses now. They also seem to be doing some outside-the-box thinking, judging by examples like: (1) 20-70 f/4 (2) 70-200 f/4 macro If you are complaining about Sony not giving you the lenses you want, then surely it's not going you all you want. If you don't want to give up FF, then maybe you need to accept that FF lenses are ... You are entitled to your opinion, but if there's a Fuji lens that you want, the first question that comes to mind is: "why don't you buy a Fuji system, and use that lens there?". There are ... I get a lot more sunny days in Australia than the UK or Ireland, so I'm not worried about f/8. I am looking forward to 800mm native. I suspect I'll mostly be using this lens on the A9 III, even ...
