i don't pay $1500 for lenses, because i can get higher resolution and better iso performance out of a $100 piece of legacy glass on a 36mp sensor, than any crop sensor pentax lens combo there is.
Originally posted by clackers The top of the line A7R and as it was then NEX 7 doesn't have it ! The A5000 certainly doesn't. The A7 and the NEX 6 only support some lenses - a couple of years ago, it was *four*.
you said: "Without phase detection like our Pentaxes? ie slow autofocus"
no... "The LA-EA4 and the LA-EA3...
This adapter enables extremely fast, accurate phase detection autofocus with any compatible A-mount lens (SAM or SSM) attached to an E-mount camera."

but is your idea of phase detection really the future: "Phase Detection and Lens Calibration Issues: the problem with the traditional DSLR phase detection system not only lies with the secondary mirror alignment issues, but also requires lenses to be properly calibrated. It becomes a two way game – precise focus requires perfect angle and distance of the secondary mirror to the phase detection sensors (as explained above), and requires a properly calibrated lens to the body.

Mirrorless vs DSLR
sony is incorporating hybrid autofocus into it's systems: "The previous NEX-6 offered 99 phase-detect AF points spread over around 50% of the frame, whereas now the A6000 employs 179 phase-detect AF points spread over around 92% of the frame. In short, where the NEX-6 reverted back to contrast-based AF as the subject went outside the central phase-detect zone, the A6000 can exploit phase-detection almost up to the very edges of the frame. This should mean effective tracking of a subject almost wherever it is on the frame."
Sony A6000 review | Cameralabs Originally posted by clackers Again, you're showing your ignorance. It is contrast detection only!
see above, lol... now compare the number of focus points:
pentax k-3: 27
sony a6000: 179
for someone who claims to use a nex 3 and a nex 7, you are woefully ignorant about the platform.

sony has all that via the oled evf, which has higher resolution than any pentax lcd, and it doesn't get washed out in bright light.

Originally posted by clackers It's your lack of facts, not your Sony platform cheerleading that have had members like Nicolas, Drypenn, Rburgoss, Christian Rock et al shaking their heads in disbelief.
my lack of facts? lol
how about if you tell us again how sony doesn't have phase detection autofocus...
