Re: A700 af-speeds
80-200mm HS models were most often damaged by the 800si and Dynax 9, both of which have very powerful AF motors. I am not aware of any reports of damage from the A700,. David Good to hear you haven't heard of any reports of damage from the A700. It is not unlikely, the the newer generation A700 has...

Re: DRO and RAW underexposure
On the A700, using DRO Advanced with manual settings certainly does affect the raw exposure - on subjects where no over-ride would be needed, it is always kept to a minimum. David, I shot with DRO+ manual up to level +5 and the RAWs were absolute identical. Does your A700 behave different from mine...

Re: A700 af-speeds
Accuracy is the official reason, Did you ever see a difference yourself? These are, so far, known to be the 80-200mm APO f2.8 Minolta HS (high speed) and the Sigma 70-300mm f4-4.5 APO DG Macro (or earlier versions of this lens). Can you give any reference for a 80-200 HS being damaged. I remember q...

DRO and RAW underexposure
David, a while back you mentioned in an article on photoclubalpha, the A700 would underexpose the RAWs, when DRO is enabled. Being a RAW shooter I found it disappointing that this meant, DRO was unusable for me. Luckily I've did my own experiments with RAW+JEPG a while back and to my surprise couldn...

Re: JPEG on A100 preferable over raw?
... JPEG is preferable over raw on the A100? Answer: Depends. Solution: Shoot Raw+JPEG. -- Olaf Not quite. IMHO, DRO doesn't work in Raw+JPEG mode, so I don't believe the in-camera created JPEG in this mode can come close to a RAW correctly processed - at least not concerning recovering highlights ...

JPEG on A100 preferable over RAW?
David, this is question related to a post you've written in dpreview. Your currently not online there, so I crosspost this here: I probably buy an A100 to accompany my 5D so I currently reread older posts about the A100.
