Re: Moire and aliasing (best in-camera settings)
Jon,
If I remember correctly aren't you using a Metabones adapter and a Canon lens? Did you test it with that set up VS. the stock lens? Maybe the speed booster is magnifying the problem?

Re: Sony Anounces 3 new E-Mount Lenses
Ray,
Yes it zooms and focuses internally, but it is still a "servo" lens. If you are expecting it to feel and focus like a traditional all manual lens you might be disappointed. I could be wrong...

Re: Sony Anounces 3 new E-Mount Lenses
Dmitry,
The fast 50MM f1.8 with the digital zoom would put you close to your working range at 75-150?

Re: PS and FX modes with SD card
Hey Martyn,
I remember reading that about five times. I think it is just a bad translation. Those modes record to the SD card just fine. Take out the word "only".

Another price drop.

Re: EA50 SteadyShot stabilization
1. A large sensor shot with shallow DOF will show your movement more. With the background out of focus and just the subject in focus there is less of the image for the brain and eye to focus on,...
