Sony makes their own sensors

Sony's marketing seems to go a lot on "fast autofocus"

reminder that nearly all battery manufacturers exaggerate capacity, and even the ones that don't never give an accurate number since it varies frmo cell to cell and how many charge cycles it's been through

Also wasn't sony mostly using Carl Zeiss lenses?

Yeah non flagship photography lenses is probably just Zeiss sticking their name on it for marketing reasons

doesnt sony make pretty great lenses it self

yes

they also make all the Zeiss lenses for the alpha cameras, but those are supposed to be zeiss designs

sony as a platofrm for relfex cameras?

how big of a meme does /p/ consider m4/3 to be

oh, just slightly curious, i have an e-m5

are refurbished professional cameras worth it?

what do you guys use professional cameras for

I could get an EOS 40D for more or less 70-100$ in Germany

i havent even thought owning one for long time

i've considered throwing money at one

yeah, i dunno if i should have gone sony or m43, but the m-5 was a hundred and fifty bucks cheaper than the comparable sony model when i was shopping

@Tribit It's 5.5 inch, dunno if he'll accept smaller than his note 3

>not using your fancy camera for nude blog

Making High Res photos of the socks that I buy on Ali

shit architecture photos, various conventions, cosplay, meme photos

phone cameras have been great for so long time that i havent even thought about owning dlsr

"a daily photo of the 101"

good enough for me i guess

they just cost so much

even low-end Real Cameras have the advantage of being really super easy to mount on a tripod or even a crazy boom arm for crazy angles

i'm a lazy fuck so i've stuck with aperture priority mostly

also especially for fansy slrs you get fancy features and modularity you dont see in phones

i had photography as real hobby for long time when i was younger

like serious photography hobby

like real autism club

well it was mostly grils but yeah

the modularity is great but i really should have checked how expensive lenses were for each platform before buying

>going out
>to make photos

it seems like canon/nikon lenses seem to go on sale every week

while m43 lenses get one sale a year

>literally leaving your home as a hobby

>not grinding and lapping your own lenses

>not buying modern chink replicas of lenses https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1190008-REG/mitakon_zhongyi_mtk25mf095bk_speedmaster_25mm_f_0_95_lens.html

i really should go and buy some classic lenses

they're overpriced in taiwan though
