Sony Professional Camera Manuals

Great Product, wish it had better manuals, but overall its and excellent product.

Works great out of the box.� The manuals leave something to be desired, but if you are buying these you know your way around a camera and flash system.� It is nice to not have to flip through menus to change flash settings - I bought the controller too.� With my OLD D7000 I was up and running in 10 minutes flat, with 2 completely independent flash groups!� And, it is inexpensive to boot!

I am utilizing the Small Packing Cube to store additional Camera accessories, manuals, lens cleaning kit as well as additional camera bag partitions. Fits neatly inside my 65L Duffelpack with Large Camera Cube V2 and Tech Pouch.

Well camera and lens was well packed with all accessories and manuals. So good so far... as for using this camera KIT, it's quite simple for beginners to use auto functions and even for professionals this camera will be perfect (hey, even in some National Geographic PRO photographers uses Canon 50D). A lens is really ok for starters, use it and after a while you will know exactly what you want. Maybe the EW-78BII lens hood would be great addition to this KIT, but it's Canon's decision.

This bag is great-I have one DSLR camera body (Pentax K20D, fits with lens attached), one extra lens, a smaller digital camera, and the accompanying manuals, cords, UV filters, extra battery, memory cards, etc. All of it fits very nicely in this bag, with some room to spare. I agree with the other reviewers about the clasps on the front being slightly difficult at times, but it's not a huge detractor for me. The shoulder strap is very comfortable and does not slip. The worn canvas looks great, and seems very waterproof (haven't taken it out in the weather yet to test it, though). It fits snuggly against your hip and is not too bulky and not heavy. One small issue is that some manuals don't fit in the zipper pocket in the top flap, but again, not a deal breaker. I also like the smaller hand strap option.

It works as it is supposed to. You have to supply your own power source which is a bummer. It seems many camera manufacturers are cheaping out now with no manuals and fewer accessories.

These are in the Cecily, if not for UV glare, but to protect the lens coating. Camera lens manuals, will tell you not to over clean it because the coating is absolutely microscopic and from the rubbing off of dirt and dust particles, you can greatly reduce effectiveness. Those coatings keep the inner lens surfaces from reflecting upon each other. If I get super abscessed with maximum quality I simply unscrew this lens filter, but as a 15 year pro New York advertising fashion photographer, the filter is in the Cecily to protect that lens surface. The UV can help lessen glare

While digital technologies continue to be perfected with professional camera use and their widespread applications, the latest Sony RX1RII fixed Zeiss lens camera (other cameras allow long-lens variants) exceeds expectations, especially when printing work on a large scale (with the Epson Stylus Pro 9900). While some relatively minor imperfections exist as with all cameras that professionals adjust to, the expansive quality of color, remarkable low-light resolution, extraordinary image quality and virtual unlimited visual potentials provide challenges that move into unchartered territory for artists (see attached site-specific photographic installation of 112x152cm prints). The most problematic issue is not Sony's: Adobe Photoshop has abandoned the long supporting professional community by not making a plug-in for this camera's RAW files (ARW in Sony terms). Two alternatives: 1) join the CC monthly feed of Adobe Photoshop (APS), abandoning the experienced professional use of all former Photoshop versions, or 2) for 99$ purchase the most basic APS Elements software that notes the Sony RX1RII RAW files are supported, at least noted in Elements literature. What a way to treat loyal professionals and Sony over the years, claiming that CC is better without meaningful details justifying the obvious money first, customer second policy for purchasing the CC version. Not mentioning inevitable future rises in CC prices, non-copyright protections in-Cloud, and not allowing printing in your studio with your own APS, even when CC RAW is tiff converted. Sony's RX1RII with Zeiss lens and its internal digital processor chip is remarkable for what the eye can see (numerous professional digital cameras now exceed what can be seen without mention), even with the rare if not unprecedented 600$ additional cost recently by Sony.

A year ago I was looking for a high capacity battery for a professional Panasonic camera (that was admittedly ancient) and couldn't find a battery I liked that could hold a candle to the canon BP-975 I use with my Canon FX100.� When I recently got my hands on an elderly Sony HVR-Z5U I remembered Sony made some great batteries (I used to have a DSR PD150).� I found my old charger and debated purchasing the Sony NP-F970 battery, or an adapter so that I could plug my "new" camera into the wall while streaming basketball games.� I went with the battery and have not been disappointed.� I don't know what the maximum capacity of this battery is with my specific set-up, but I do know that it still had plenty of charge after six hours of broadcasting earlier this week.� This is a great battery and, from what I've seen, well-priced.

This is my first camera. I chose this Sony a6000, because my father, a professional photographer, recommended it. I could not be happier with this purchase and this camera. I have gotten enough good shots, I mean shots exceeding my artistic expectations and hopes for expression, that I am thoroughly hooked on this camera specifically and photography in general. After a week, I bought the telephoto lens, and now I'm considering buying the macro lens. It's easy to transfer the photos to my phone. I'm looking forward to getting some archival quality prints of my favorites. This camera exceeded my expectations in every way!
