So does a steering wheel down your pantsI agree, used to drive me nuts!

I know, realistically though I have invested in the Sony system now.You could have bought Andrews
This guys from another planetWow, that's some machine right there........
I miss Andrew
Planet SonyThis guys from another planet
20 fps material right there.......Birdworld is a few miles down the road, going to get myself an annual pass Sony hunting ground..
I know, realistically though I have invested in the Sony system now.
Nikon stretched out the product of the Nikon D300s way too much, eventually I gave up on Nikon ever making a replacement, which they did .... D500.
It will be interesting to see what Nikon bring to the market to compete with Sony.
D750 can produce as good as the A7iii if you don’t mind doing photography the ‘old fashioned way’! Haha!
As for mirrorless competition, I think Sony have a free run in 2018!
It's been a very long time since I last handled any camera, perhaps I should try one out
Sony A7 III -
Reports are surfacing of pixel anomalies showing up during video recording. (like stuck/red pixels)
Apparently it's only affecting video during PAL recordings.
It will probably be fixed via a firmware update as NTSC recordings seem fine.
Not always but yes, Sony's firmware ethos could be vastly improved! lolPosted this issue pages back. Fw fix hmmm... It's sony they fix with a new camera.

Yea jus read about the crane plus. Looks goodJonny I would probably opt for the Crane Plus as it's abit smaller and lighter. I only went for the Crane 2 as it can charge the camera whilst being used and I'll be attaching alot to it at times and it can be used with dual handles like a ronin Gimbal etc
Nikon is short of some critical tech in mirrorless that can compete judging by what we seen so far. Their sensor focus is awful, they don’t have a great track record for video, EVF?
For all Canon’s still self strangle strategy, they have a semi successful mirrorless line with dual focus tech that’s actually amazing, I think they have pupil af? Like eye af. If only they just make a proper pro body out of it.
The EOS M50 offers 4K video and Dual Pixel CMOS AF, but not at the same time. Is there a technical reason for this limitation?
With the EOS 5D Mark IV, we do offer 4K video and Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus, so technically it is feasible. But given the position of the M50 in the lineup, we can’t include all of the features available in a product like the 5D IV. Given the position of the product, we wanted to achieve the optimal balance [of features] in a camera in that range. We’ve optimized the M50 as best we can [for its market position], and within those parameters, the combination of 4K video and Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus was not possible.
I agree, there is nothing wrong with DSLR's and Nikon has history behind it, my first real camera was the Nikon D40 which I think had a Sony sourced 6.1 CCD sensor, the images and colour's from the files were great!
Could I ever be tempted to move back to a Nikon DSLR, probably not, but keen to see what Nikon can do with a pro-mirrorless offering.
I agree that Sony will probably dominate the FF mirrorless segment in 2018 but the clock is ticking and it won't be long before Canon & Nikon respond.

D40 was my first too!
From the sounds of it, their approach hasn't changed. They have recently mentioned in an interview with their Exec that the Canon M50 body can do 4K and Dual-AF but as been crippled in order to protect their other models. (see below).
It is this very thinking which will be their down fall, the same goes for Nikon.
They should go all out now, no more waiting... waiting... waiting ..... during which Sony is capturing more customers.
quality eh...... one interesting point is that i had a 1/500 flash sync speed, which seems high for a mechanical shutter?iso 3200 in high mode and 2.5fps wow!!!
I know what your saying but some people like brands...One thing I keep wondering is why do people value the brands so much, particularly Canon who even by non enthusiasts are probably recognised as market leaders in camera gear. I suppose some of the kudos comes from seeing the pros on TV with their Canon bodies and big white lenses and when people walk into the shop I suppose the sales staff push Canikon and the customers are predisposed towards those brands... but maybe this will change as the next generations start looking to buy something better than the Apple/smartphone brand names and action cams they've grown up with and for many of those Canon and Nikon may just be names from the past, something Grandad goes on about. That could happen if Canikon don't get their fingers out.
Sensor focusing may be slow on their DSLR's. but weren't their Nikon 1 cameras some of the fastest focusing mirrorless cameras! At least in good light. Always baffled me why they didn't seem to put the same tech into their DSLR's. Maybe they have kept it only for their future mirrorless cameras, but now the Nikon 1 system seems to be history, they are seriously lagging behind with their DSLR sensor focusing. If they can get that tech into their crop/FF mirrorless cameras, if/when they appear, maybe with improvements, then for AF, they may not be far behind Sony, but maybe ahead of Canon. Time will tell.Nikon is short of some critical tech in mirrorless that can compete judging by what we seen so far. Their sensor focus is awful, they don’t have a great track record for video, EVF?

Just found a Nikon D40 for sale with only 2099 shutter clicks! Mmmmmm
Shall I buy it
The Nikkor 18-70mm f3.5-4.5 was a good lens......
What do you think folks....... lol
I am just looking at one for a bit of fun, plus I can then say I am a Nikon owner lol hahaha all about the brand ehEr, no.
The D40 was, as far as I remember, even in its day well behind the cutting edge.
I'd expect it to be ok at lower ISO's but I think you'd be throwing it against a venue wall in lower light.
I tried one, briefly.
agreed this em10ii with 45mm 1.8 is super fastMFT is blisteringly fast to focus with a fast focusing lens but there may be issues scaling this up with the larger heavier glass and mechanisms of larger formats.
get a P900 then you can perve all you likeI am just looking at one for a bit of fun, plus I can then say I am a Nikon owner lol hahaha all about the brand eh
ermmmmIf you have to be a Nikon owner why not go for something with a bit more class... a nice RF or manual camera?
agreed this em10ii with 45mm 1.8 is super fast
I tried the Gx80 at the show, very nice
With the faster lenses you don't need to "focus," just point the camera at the subject and press the shutter button and by the time your finger and the button has gone from "focus" to "shoot" the kit will have acquired focus.
It's difficult to see how a larger system could match this.
