Alpha 7C

TL;DR an inherent problem with EFCS at high speed. People rarely talk about this, but the Electronic First Curtain Shutter (EFCS) at high speed (1/1000s and faster) would usually make the image have an exposure gradient (as seen here) because despite the camera's best effort, there's still a speed d

Jerks Jokes aside: They mostly use Leica M (rangefinder) or Leica Q (compact/fixed-lens) cameras, not glorified Panasonics Leica SLs. M and Q are quite small and most importantly they don't look Professional™, so they are less conspicuous and less intimidating for some people in the streets. You don

I should do this. I bought a Sony A7 C2 (sigma 24-70 F2.8) recently and love taking photos of my cat. The local shelter (rspca) is about 10 mins away from my house (also the place my cat came from)

I own the 20mm 1.8S and it is definitely one lens that is ridiculously sized. The image quality is essentially the same as the Sony and the Sony is way smaller. That being said, not all of Nikon's glass is bigger and there is other options like the Viltrox air 20mm. I've often thought about travel c

Great shots! Praying to the photography gods Nikon realizes if they put out a photo-centric in this body format, it could be a potential hit. It would compete with the likes of the Sony A7C series, Lumix S9, probably even Fuji offerings. Stick one of the more compact primes on it - and you have a gr

Definitely notice this, I think on the Sony side there's sometimes a fair bit of sunk cost fallacy (or sponsorships) making them defensive to where they feel the need to nitpick and downplay positives in other systems to justify their decisions (nobody is asking them to do so though). Blind brand lo

I understand the appeal of the form factor, but these prices are just ridiculous now. You can get a full frame Sony A7C and a lens for the same price as this (Yes, I know the A7C is older, but still.)

I estimate it wouldn’t sell. At given Ricoh pricing, they would have to compete with the Sony A7c II and A6700 and some Fujis, the Sonys have way better AF and an arsenal of lenses to choose from. As product managers use to say:”Never listen to enthusiasts if you don’t wanna go broke”.😎

leica or hassleblad does not do anything to their processing to make them unique so that argument is totally useless. they all use similar if not the same sensors with basically the same amount of processing for the raw files, and any jpeg look you can just edit in. if you put a leica and sony or ha

So long as they knew what they were doing, there wasn’t a need for a camera upgrade. Having said that, Sony’s autofocus is unbeatable. I haven’t once had a shot out of focus because it always knows what I want to shoot. My A7C is the only camera I’ve always left in autofocus mode and never worried.
