For stater, unless you are on the market or waiting for something... Why bother?

Then... Review written w/o having the camera in hand and promoting vapor gear are basically marketing, creating expectation and obliterating what reservation a few have... I GOTTA HAVE IT!

When the camera will come out and really tested the truth will come out but by thene the gotta have it crowd will have purchased the 'stuff' and will swear up a down their camera is the greatest. Who can admit to have made a costly error?

If you like being a beta tester, go right ahead.

When the D810 came out there was no improvement per say on the photography side. The video on the other hand was improved. I called it at the time a D800e iteration, not an upgrade or anything worth spending the $$$. I waited and then came the D850. I wanted that one but I waited over a year before triggering a purchase. The camera was accepted as one of the greatest Nikon had made so far.

When the D500 came out I also waited a long time before triggering the upgrade, for the reason listed above.

Sorry folks but my brain works before my 'desires' or 'wants'.

Save your $$$ until you are sure the new stuff does not devolve into a series of issues.

My behavior is likely due to my IT experience that dictate "DO NOT BE A BETA TESTER" and an early adopter.

Do the same and save yourself some aggravation and the angst of trying to justify the poor purchase...

Buyer remorse in the photography field is an expensive proposition... Almost as bad as cars.....

Hi all. I have a request.
My wife has a Sony A6300. She has a Sony Macro lens. She's having trouble focussing this.
I have the manual and am investigating.
However, i am stuck on a definition. I will try to explain:
When you point at what you want to shoot, an area of the screen pixellates, sort of. It looks like if you were watching the Weather Channel when they overlay rain over an area.
I've been told that this represents an area that the lens can't resolve, and this makes sense to me.
What I would appreciate is someone telling me what terms in the manual might describe this so that I can go to that section and try to fix this. Thank you.

I was staging the preserved Brown Marmorated Stink Bug under magnification and I thought that I could see a piece of crud on one of its legs. When I looked at it with my 8X magnifying loop I could see that it was in fact a tiny insect of some type. Increasing the magnification of the lens setup with microscope objective, extension tubes and teleconverter I was able to get this insect into view to photograph it.

To put this into perspective, the brown dots are the pinpoint dots of the stink bug and this insect has its legs on one of the stink bugs legs.

This is by far one of the smallest and most strange insects that I have yet to come across including mites that I have found on insects before.

As always, thanks ever so much to all those who view and for your comments, suggestions, questions and critique.

This is another treasure from Bill. I don't have a clue as to what it is other than a wonderful subject. Not only is Bill a knowledgeable collector, he must have great eyesight for this and some of the other are very, very small.

I'm hoping that Bill will jump in and tell us what this wondrous insect is and along with some interesting information about it.
