I am indeed. Whilst I love my bigger Nikon Z bodies for certain applications, and I do love the pro body and amazing feature set of my Olympus micro four thirds system, the Sony is slowly taking over as my everyday carry everywhere system. It’s still image quality is better, but not massively...

I think my current obsession with my new A6700 might have got a little out of hand? Only had it 6 weeks and have already purchased a fully fledged system - must stop (but it’s such a fun and small lightweight camera) :cool: Shown in the image A6700 body Sony 18-135 f3.5-5.6 OSS Sony 15mm...

OK, this is an "out there" question, that I'll either get scolded for or hopefully get a solution :) I've recently been using my new Sony A6700 a lot for general shooting as it's so small and light and mainly for the Video which is fantastic. 4k 25,50 and 100 (ablet the last one with a...

Little shot from yesterday on the new A6700 when the wife and I went out for a stroll back to where we grew up in Lymm, Cheshire. A6700545 by Andrew Ellis, on Flickr

The first 180-600 I ordered was from Nikon UK directly and I was so disappointed after testing as it was noticeably softer at the long end than I was anticipating or willing to accept. I returned mine to Nikon UK and to be fair I got a full credit back in a matter of days. Then a few months...

Happy birthday Alan - ohh a slice of that in the microwave for 30 seconds (to make it all gooey), then some squirty cream..hmm….

As we know, more and more Cameras are now supporting the ultra fast CF Express Type B cards which not only are coming out in incredibly large capacities, but also blindingly quick read and write speeds currently typically approx. 1700mb/sec, but with the adoption of PCIe Gen 4, those speeds are...

Thought I might as well post some of my first images from the A6700 - nothing stunning, but still getting a feel for the camera and it's controls:

Still getting to grips with my 1st proper Sony (A6700) and loving it so far. Quick question please When shooting videos, there's always a separate file that is stored alongside each video. What Are these for please is it for Gyro Stabilization data for Catalyst Browse, or for some other reason ...

Ouch, was he hurt as there doesn’t appear to be a roll bar ?

Might be of interest to some, but just noticed that E-Infinity now have the OM-1 MK II in stock for just £1,599.

I absolutely love my Z8 (in fact since I've had it, I've hardy used my Z9 so might end up selling it ?). I do wish it was a tad smaller and lighter (somewhere between where it is now and the Z6/Z7 size (say 800g not 900g) - but hey it is what it is. It's one thing you have to hand to Sony is...

Guys, looking for some advise / inspiration. Loving my new first foray into Sony with my little A6700 and my trio of lenses (15mm F1.4, 10-20 F4 PZ and 18-135 F3.5-5.6). Whilst I told myself I only got the Sony as a walkabout and vacation camera, I'm loving using it so much, that I'm considering...

I’ll do it later when I’m home (y)

Right I seem to have moved things on. It turns out I had the "manual focus clutch" set to inoperable in the menus, so when I thought I was in manual focus mode, I wasn't :) So now when I slip the focus clutch back into the manual position, I defiantly hear the noise stop (on all the affected...
