Dave Doug Dale knows nothing!! Lol kidding kidding. He’s one of my favorite guys on web.
I learned to shoot videos with T2i because of him. 🙂
Why does the 28mm review say that the lens is not weather sealed?
It’s “dust and moisture resistant”, whatever that means…
Because The Phoblographer are utterly useless. You can play spot the mistakes with most of their articles.
Bad writing, bad knowledge of the facts, bad photography. No wonder some refer to that site as The Fauxblographer.
In 1989 Canon introduced the first pelicular glass mirror camera…SLT…
In 2010 Sony introdced thier first SLT, substituting a plastic film mirror for the glass mirror in the Canon.
Now Sony seems to be abandoning SLT in favor of mirrorless E mount, and there is a strong possibilty that A mount is dead.
Meanwhile Canon has been filing newer patents.(2013/2015) for an SLT…plastic film pelicular mirror …camera with EVF , and rumors are begining to emerge that Canon may be introducing an entry or mid level SLT camera in 2016, and mayby higher end ones later???????????
It almost seems like Canon and Sony are taking turns adapting and abandoning this technology.
The Canon Pellix was introduced already 1965… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_Pellix
So, basically Canon are 5 years behind Sony.
That doesn’t bode well for a company that will supposedly be dominating the mirrorless market by the end of 2016.
Apparently you are 5 years behind if thats how you interpret my comment.
Based on my comment Canon released an SLT 21 years ahead of Sony, and then abandoned it long before Sony released thiers.
According to EnPassants comment…which I have not verified…Canon developed it 45 years ahead of Sony.
Furthermore I in no way implied that this would be thier main technology.
I fail to see how your comment in any way relates to what I said.
I forgot the wink, Barry.
Ironically, I fail to see how your comment relates to any of the stories above.
A semitransparent mirror was part of every AF SLR camera since the first one came around to be. That includes Film cameras. Such mirror is used in DSLRs for AF to this day. However glass causes plenty of problems. It’s too thick and it creates heavy chromatic aberration. Even the plastic film in Sony’s SLT’s amplifies color separation. While it may be OK for AF module, it’s not OK for the imaging sensor.
So while yes, Canon might have thought of it back in the day, they didn’t finish development to the point of being usable. Sony on the other hand did finish development.
The way I see it, SLT was a transition to mirrorless for Sony. It’s probably going to be the same for Canon. Although I don’t see why they can’t capitalize on their dual-pixel AF technology, and improve upon it. Also implement the OVF+EVF configuration, similar to what Fuji does. Flip the mirror, and you’ve got EVF, or use it in OVF mode if you want.
That would be my dream camera. Canon AF performance with EVF on demand. My wallet get’s thinner just thinking about it….
But even the flip-up SLT approach would have been awesome as well.
We see this test before, now switch the lens… A7s + OSS VS A7 ii + IBIS and no OSS
