You miss the point, though. Sony has not yet produced a dSLR targetted at professional photographers. So, pros who want the highest quality JPEGs, rather than ...
... You haven't made your point yet. Exactly what are the actual JPEG spec differences between the files produced by the A700 and what you think is ...
It's got nothing to do with JPEG specs or what I or anyone else think is "professional". I was simply referring to Sony's own words, not mine: "Sony is...
See the graph (with comments) at: http://tech.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/Minolta/photos/view/951d?b=1 You may find this experiment interesting. By the way,...
... You cited JPEG as a deficiency. Address that. ... Use your words and give technical citations to back your claims. I don't believe that Sony was...
... I really don't know what to say about this -- JPEG quality isn't related to which market segment the camera is aimed at. Basically, it consists of two...
... Yup, just google for it and a wealth of information can be found. Personally I use IrfanView (free and good for lots of things) for the rare cases when I...
Relying on Sony's (or any camera company's) marketing-speak blurbs for guidance is unwise at best. Pros certainly don't do that. They had better be able to...
Perhaps people should look at Canon's website for what how they define a "professional" camera, and then just leave it at that? Some people might be surprised...
"Rugged and weatherproof" aren't always required either. Sometimes it could simply be "cheap but good" in cases where a hazardous shoot is likely to destroy...
All, I hope that we can put an end to all these food fight this list has had of late as it does no one any good and only clogs our in-boxes. In other ...
I have always had Minolta cameras and now SONY to work in the studio and in other locations, and never realized that my equipment were not for professional...
On my 5d one of the ISO options is Hi200 and Lo80. According to Gary Friedmans excellant book, this tells the computer to adjust the JPEG in a similar way to...
Hi200 would be to preserve white highlights at the expense of darkening the shadows somewhat. If you're talking about long exposure waterfall pics (to get the...
Justin offered a good explanation, but you might want to read this discussion as well: http://dyxum.com/dforum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10889 Page two of that...
Without having to wade through a bunch of banter on Dyxum (some of that stuff is just cherry), the important point made on that thread is that Lo80 Hi200 is ...
By the way, jstartin doesn't know what he's talking about in that thread: jstartin Quote: Hi200 sets the exposure as for ISO200 but actually exposes the sensor...
... That's surprising. It now appears that MPIX has also caved in to relentless demand for TIFF support. A year ago they told me if I sent a CD with TIFFs, ...
I understand it perfectly, and there is no contradiction. You have apparently misinterpreted that simple sentence. jstartin actually knows a good bit about...
Hey guys, Been a while since I posted any messages. I've got a few questions concerning shooting football games at night. I'm using the 7D with a Minolta...
Seems like my point is still being missed. Perhaps the use of `professional' is confusing matters. My point was first raised when it was suggested that many...

So you agree that you are unable to see the very simple point I am making? Let's forget, then, the definition of professional if the basic concept of the...

Ah, the penny drops - I missed this post first time around. You've completely misunderstood me (should I be surprised?) Have a good look and you'll find that I...
No argument, there - but we are of course talking about Sony pricing - it's probably fair to say that $1,400 equates to something considerably less for a...
