They have support but it's dreadful by all accounts. Matt Granger very publically quit Sony because while their kit may up to scratch their support and professional services seem to not be. Check out the his news article...

I've had a couple of issues trying to order from their website and just noticed they don't use https encryption when you enter your card details. Does anyone have any experience using their online shop? I tried and the whole thing failed but I don't know if my order was accepted or if my...

I find the argument about how much easier it is to carry a mirrorless camera around in a bag vs a DSLR very disingenuous. You could be carrying a brick around in the bag, it doesn't matter. What matters is how it feels to shoot with and it's here the trend to go super small on the mirrorless...

From a recent session organised by modelinn with Tawan from Bangkok. This was week #3 of my Fifty Two Weeks project. The Week of The Girl by David, on Flickr For information on how I processed the image and to see more from the shoot check out my blog post here -...

Are there any 2nd hand shops that ARE reputable people can recommend? I am looking for Canon FD lenses amongst other things :)

Can anyone recommend somewhere to rent an IR converted camera please?

Depends on airline and destination, make sure you can pack it into your hold baggage at checkin. I've never been refused but only tried a couple of times. Budget airlines are usually MUCH more restrictive.

I carry my Tamron 150-600mm. What's the point of having good quality photography gear and being too scared/lazy to use it outdoors? IMO too many people spend too much time typing on the internet about how bulky and heavy gear is and less time out taking photos. I'd rather get sweaty and...

Can you share the entire JPG and circle the area you are most concerned about in MS Paint? Only in that shared image I can see numerous issues, with chromatic aberration just being one.

I'd recommend saving for a very high quality carbon fibre tripod. Lightweight and portable, best of both worlds. Expensive, but you will buy once and it will last a lifetime.

I've found being a large ang moh helps in not being confronted :) There are a few ways to make people hesitate about confronting you, one is to shoot them but pretend you are shooting THROUGH them, at a subject beyond. If they spot you and maybe look as though they are going to come over...

I did chuckle when you talked about using back focusing rather than back-button focus lock :)

Unfortunately there's no way of doing this without another camera. Either suck up the lower quality and use your phone (why does it need to be perfect quality?) or use a camera with a macro lens on a tripod to get it sharp. Why the need for such high quality of an LCD screen?

Can anyone suggest a reliable, reputable seller for this lens - and do people know how much it's currently selling for? I'm unused to buying camera gear in person/from stores. Typically I always do it online but that doesn't seem to be an option in SG :/
