Thanks for watching them. Most Sony haters here dont bother to even watch them, and then just bash Sony again in their next posts. Cheers
Yes Sir you are sure right!!!!!!! They can ditch it but can't take it.
I think more people are put off by a couple of Sony users than they are about any Sony camera.

Thanks for posting. I have watched them all. If I were starting from scratch, say if my house were burgled or burned down, I would give serious consideration to the Sony line, but given that I have a box full of Nikkor pro glass and a D500, I don't see a financially sound reason to make the jump. I suspect one large reason you don't see many Sony shooters at pro/college field sports events is that their 400/2.8 is not out yet. When that comes out, we will see if there is a trend to switch. Given the cost of that glass, there will likely be some pretty large inertia involved, time will tell. I am hoping there is a big switch and the street price for a good used 400/2.8 hits $3K-$4K. One can dream.
I have seen these advertised. They look promising.
HotTex or whoever you are. How about posting one of your pics that does not look like a measles epidemic !

These look pretty good to me, but I'm not a professional critic.

The 400 f2.8 is out. The lens was secretly tested by top award-winning sports pros all over the world for over a year at The Winter Olympics, Grand Slam Tennis, Grand Slam Golf, World Cup soccer, etc. Then Sony officially release it earlier this year and it got rave reviews and is already in the hands of pros working every day. BTW the Sony 400 f2.8 "smokes" both Nikon and Canon's 400 f2.8 with exclusive features, including faster focusing linear motors, the first in ANY 400mm f2.8 (Not my words, but the words of several independent reviewers).
Yes Nikon and Canon will release very good fullframe mirrorless systems, finally. Then Sony will have their next release and it will probably blow them away. I can't wait for all the great gear coming. Cheers

Fair enough. B&H still has it in pre-order.

Shooters around the world already have it. It was released in foreign markets BEFORE the US. BTW as a member of Sony Pro Imaging Support I got a letter saying they would have it to me in two days if I ordered it. The same offers goes for any Sony Pro Imaging members in the US and around the world, direct from Sony. Other pro test shooters already have had the lens for the past year in use. Not sure I can finance it right now after buying other gear.

Canon and Nikon DSLRs are not quite dead yet.
SLRs should be banned from political events,
press release events, etc. The reason is more
than obvious, and anyone who doesn't find it
obvious is most certainly deaf.

Bill-de no one takes anything you say seriously anymore, you are just here to be a Sony basher. Very sad.
