Well nobody is complaining you needed 20+ posts to explain the camera is not for you because it's not weather sealed and lacks the proper long lenses. Seems getting long winded is caused by the excitement, both for the likes and the dislikes of this camera
I was happy with the video record button on the side and out of my way. I hated it on the NEX-5 and nothing made me happier than when Sony released the firmware update to completely disable it. I know many use the video features but I can count on one hand how often they've been intentionally used by me.Saw the video. It was long. He could have said all that in ten minutes, but since he kept repeating the advantages of the amazing new back button focus, just like on a real DSLR and on most of my Panasonics, and the sensational new control wheel on the top left, which I think I've seen before somewhere also. Might be on a Panasonic, or was it a Nikon or Pentax maybe? The A7 video button that was perfect a couple of years ago (yes, I mentioned that on this forum then and I got some replies
Yes, it's a nice camera, but he talked about it as if Sony just invented all that stuff. He also kept switching between calling the viewfinder 3.6 million dots and 4K. 3.6 million dots is not 4K, never was and never will be. Or maybe I have too much dirt in my ears. Maybe he said "for you?". No, it isn't for me either :ROTFL:
Now I'll make you all happy by going to bed. Goodnight
Well, no. AFAIK you need for
Is it at all possible that the preproduction camera (#454) he tested only had electronic shutter or the menu to select mechanical shutter was disabled and he was reporting on the conditions that were true for him?
True but I believe he was thinking more along the lines of mechanical shutter and mirror transports which are commonly replaced items for sports shooters.

That is what I am looking for. I guess I can do a search but any links to an official review yet? That really is the ONLY thing holding me back from selling my Canon stuff now. Typically I would lock on to the eye of the animal as it is coming towards me or simply moving around randomly. I want the camera to keep that eye in focus, shifting the AF spot as the animal moves or other objects come in front. Difficult for most cameras to do this, have never tried it on my A7R2. It should also be extremely easy to manually select a particular AF point without going into multiple menus or taking your eye off the viewfinder.
Being someone with spatula hands, having an attachment like this would be essential I think. Would let you get a normal grip on the camera but without over-bulking it with a battery grip. Some people who had early handling of this camera already report their fingers bumping into some of the bigger lenses, which is the result of trying to bunch up all your phalanges into a small area.
