Lol track a snail, definately agree with that! Thanks for the detailed information you have posted nandbytes. If it wasn't for the poor C-AF I would have been estatic but then I guess there is no perfect camera out there, but just have to make do with what you are willing to trade off.

Okay interesting, I was looking at the green confirmation focus on your screen John, but I see now it was just confirming when it achieved focus or it interpretation of it. :) Did C-AF improve a lot more in the mk3 and mk4s in the a7models? I know this body was more aimed towards film makers but...

Yes you are correct it is CDAF. I was confusing the 7d in live view mode. You mean you were half holding the shutter button through the whole video? I can see you pressed it about 6-7 times. Indeed I can see a bit of hesitant jittering on your video (looking at the left window), imo its no way...

Thank you nandbytes I see what you are saying, I will go to another camera store Friday, did I mention I already tried a Sony lens in WEX the other day? They said it was the body, same problem this guy is having presumably; he replys on the comments saying the service centre replaced the focus...

Thanks for taking the time to upload, yes John your camera/lens is working perfectly. I notice you were using "Lock-on AF - expand flexible spot" never used that mode, tried that out too but still just continues to to pulse may as well be shooting in pitch black. Mine just continually pulses for...

Wow absolutely superb capture, the detail and colour around the head is beautiful, I like the way the tail feathers are splayed out too. Well done keep it up Steven!

I guess finding someone with the exact same model camera and mounting the lens onto it John. Shame as I was hoping to use it with back-button af. Yea I am not too bothered with it in the video mode and yes as you say its not the fastest by any means. Here is an example of the problem focusing, I...

It seems okay in AF-S, maybe does a slight defocus before fowarding into focus but confirms with the beep. I am quite shocked really especially when it is a fairly expensive lens. Went into WEX the other day and we tried a native cropped lens and still did the same thing, thats why I am not...

I have recently acquired a Sony A7SII. Does anyone have any experience with the camera body? I seem to be having problems with the autofucus system prodominantly in the AF-C mode; where the focus just seems to pulsate without locking on to anything. I only have one lens a Samyang 135mm 1.8 AF I...

Evening peeps, whilst the weather is slightly on the warmer side particularly in the evenings and of course taking advantage of the upcoming summer solstice. I would like to organise and gather together fellow photographers for a golden/twilight hours evening trip into London. It will be nice to...

Such a great capture to see in the SE. Initially seeing the image I thought it was the sunset :D or two blended images. I have only seen the milky way once here in the UK and was so gutted I didn't have the DSLR with me.

Go to a Apple store if you have one nearby and try one out they should have apps preinstalled too. Or you can always buy and return these if you are not happy with it.

You can always get a powerline network adapter, but I am just a fan of hardwiring most things if I can get away with it.

Interesting suggestions here, I take it you are using a main desktop in your set up Ian? You can always check out ebay for used and refurbished to make your money go further or even save some.
