The *ist-D allowed you to save as PEF, TIF or JPG.
Herbert Kepler recommended TIF in his Popular Photography column, so
that's what I shot in 2004.

You may be very pleasantly surprised on both counts here. I don't
You guys are making me think I should go down to the store and take a look at
these new EVF's. Another question I have is in regards to sports shooting -
any lag as you pan the camera following the action?

Hi Marnie,
Was browsing and came across this interesting little article. Caveat: it
was written over 9 months ago so I don't know if updated firmware is
available.

I'm V interested in the X-E1, hence my post.

I don't shoot sports but I wouldn't think so.

Mike Johnston just reported on rumors that next month will see the
announcement of an interchangeable-lens sibling to the full-frame Sony
RX-1.
Food for thought. And not long to wait to see if it's true.

Mine are not older but weaker and I totally second that.

The latest generation of EVF cameras have substantially reduced the tendency to
tearing and jitter with camera motion—it's down to almost none now, and is
certainly very usable for my needs. But it is still one area where a good
reflex viewfinder has an advantage.
Likewise C-AF tracking

My opinion only... As nice as that

Take a look through a NEX-6 or 7 EVF. It's a 2.3 million pixel image.
That's more than twice the pixel count of the LCD monitor.
be careful here - pixel is the wrong word; unfortunately, camera manufacturers
have taken to inflating viewfinder resolution by

Well, silly Darren, one composes with an LCD or electronic viewfinder

The modern EVF cameras have reduced lag to almost non-existent.
My older EVF cameras - Sony F707/F717/F828/R1, Olympus 8080WZ, Panasonic
FZ10, Minolta A2 - were fairly pathetic on viewfinder responsiveness and
resolution. I used the viewfinder primarily as a targeting
Well, Aahz, I suppose it is power to you then. You see, starting with
K-7, the default focusing screen wasn't properly located for accurate

wide open). I had a saga with K-7 shimming. The K-5 that I bought brand

I'm not boycotting Sony, I just don't like their crap products.
Every piece of Sony consumer electronics equipment I have ever owned

Although, I haven't forgotten (or forgiven) that root-kit debacle either.

Not on the latest ones. They now have an ISO shoe fitted with the interface for
their EVF on the RX-1, and the ISO shoe on the NEX 6 as well.
In general, however, I'm not partial to the NEX bodies. They feel very cramped
in my hands. The 6 seems the best of them so far, but it doesn't give me
