I want to stream images wirelessly to my tv.  Currently   I have a Philips hd tv equipped with a Chromecast device, but the camera does not find this in my wireless network. As the tv is some 8 years old I can understand it may not be compatible, but Chromecast is more recent.  I am thinking to buy another tv, but what are the specs I should be looking for to be able to connect my camera. (ilce7rm3) Sony tv's are an obvious choice, but what makes them compatible? There are so many different types and sub-types.  The manual speaks of "compatible tv", kind of vague to me.  Who has experience with this? The new tv has to be 4k, that much is obvious to me.

Some "eye fi" wifi cards are just basic eye fi cards 

and participate in most any wifi environment. BUT, 

the SanDisk "PRO" series eye fi cards are capable 

of autonomous transmission. They can broadcast

to wireless receptive devices [PCs etc] even where

there is no wifi environment currently running.  

   

So a "PRO" series eye fi card may be your solution 

but I have not tried this. Just offering a headzup cuz 

it is not widely understood that there's 2 completely 

different classes of eye fi cards. You'd be bypassing 

your camera's built-in wifi and that in itself may hold 

the key.

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By XKAES · Posted

      I'd opt for a small zoom, but I must admit that there seems to be a dearth of lenses in the e-mount in the 24-50mm range -- for some reason.  I have a small 24-70mm, but that's an a-mount Tamron.  Maybe you can find something by looking at lenses slightly longer.  I have a heavy, but small 24-100mm a-mount, and Tokina made a 24-200mm a-mount.  Maybe there are similar lenses in the e-mount.  Kill three birds with one stone.

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By bs.shoots · Posted

      I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.

      Sony a6300 after shutter repair

      By dev001 · Posted

      Hi, I have got a6300 which shutter stopped working. I managed to change shutter but unfortunatelly broke shutter motor tape but I fixed that. After repair the shutter is working but not in a proper way, watch with sound. I bought the second shutter and tried to test it before dissaembling again and it doesn't react to magnet but it works fine when I apply 3V. Are there different type of shutter for a6000 - a6400? Back to the question what is wrong with my shutter after first repair? I don't want to put next shutter unfoundedly. Do your sony cameras perform such a self-check after start up?  IMG_5579 (1).webm
