When will the Sony SEL18200 telephoto lens for the Sony NEX-3 be available online?

I chose this camera over the full size Sony Alpha Series cameras due to its smaller size and the "coming soon" SEL18200 lens that was on the Sony website, in-box literature, and BB-online. Still waiting.........If I can't get this lens at Best Buy, can I exchange this camera for a full size Sony that has optional lens' available. What is the problem with getting this lens?

Massive 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami in Japan.
Even those manufacturers who did not have assembly plants directly affected had parts suppliers affected.

TS2755 When will Apple ever make it convenient for the customer, I just bought an iPad Air and I'm very upset that I can only use iMessage, iPads are the biggest mistake to buy. I'll never buy another if I can text using SMS or MMS

When will Apple ever make it convenient for the customer, I just bought an iPad Air and I'm very upset that I can only use iMessage, iPads are the biggest mistake to buy if you like texting family and friends. I'll never buy another one if I can't text using SMS or MMS. Is there any hope for a patch or new operating system to fix this issue, or an app to use with iPad Air

Nobody knows even whether CS6 will get this or if there wil lbe a paid/ Creative Cloud exclusive 6.5 update or something liek that. You're asking teh wrong question to the wrong people. Even if we knew, we wouldn't be allowed to tell you anything until Adobe announces this officially.

Which telephoto lens for the 70D

I have a Canon 70D and am interested in a telephoto lens for it. I own an EF18-135 IS, an EF 55-250 IS USM and recently purchased a new EF 70-200 F4 L USM (non IS, that was a mistake). I am thinking about getting the new EF 100-400 L IS II USM but I'm not sure if, for the money, it may be smarter to get the EF 70-200 F2.8 L IS USM and put a 2X extender on it thinking that way I can take the extender off and have a top of the line 70-200. I realize it would be F5.6 at 400mm but so would the new 100-400 and it will never be an F2.8. Any thoughts on the subject would be appreciated, just remember I'm a newbie. Thanks

I wouldn't recommend anyone buy the old 100-400 at anything close to the regular list price until we know a lot more about the new version AFTER it's been in use by the general population. That said I'll add that it took me a long time to adjust to using a push / pull zoom but once I did I can easily say that helps me get better results. By using it vs a twist to zoom lens my hand is at the front of the lens right where the hood mounts giving me a more stable hold (support) than if that hand was near the back of it. The new lens will be even heavier so you'll need to find a way to hold it, twist it & control it's weight.
Because I shoot fast paced action at slower shutter speeds lens IQ isn't as important as my panning skills so I really find it hard to believe I'd see a noticeable improvement to what I shoot but many others probably will see a difference. I bought my 100-400 in late 06 or early 07 & it still delivers nice sharp images & is one of the 2 lenses I shoot a lot.

When will Camera Raw support .arw files for the new Sony RX-100?

I have Photoshop Elements 9 and just purchased the RX-100. Currently the .arw raw files the camera produces are not supported in Camera Raw. When will Adobe be supporting this format?

No one can tell you when, but the new RX100 has support in the beta of Camera Raw 7.2 RC for Photoshop CS6 so I would guess that PSE11 will either ship with or could soon after be updated to ACR 7.2 with RX100 support.
PSE10 is the current version, but in the past, a new version of Elements has come out about this time of year so sometime in the next couple months.
What you can do right now is download the beta of the DNG Converter 7.2 RC from Adobe Labs which will convert a folder of ARW files to DNG files which can then be processed with older versions of Camera Raw including what comes with PSE10 or PSE9.
You could also download and use the beta for Lightroom 4.2 RC from on Adobe Labs to work with your files natively until the beta expires by the end of October, but before then you’d probably have a new version of Elements that would work. If you go the LR 4.2 RC route, you’d want to save your changes to XMP sidecars in LR so you could read them using ACR in Elements, later.
Betas/RCs are available at: http://labs.adobe.com/

When will there be a software update for the Media Hub?

1. Many issues related to playing media types - Need updated or increased CODEC's - Flash, MPG, Divix, WMP should ALL play. Why don't you put ALL the CODEC's in????
2. Support for iTunes playlists. This should be a basic funtion.
3. Funtion to get rid of duplicates as common sense tells you that he Media Hub will see your iTunes LIbrary and the built in function of "Import" creates duplicates.
4. Support for better identification of iTunes related Album artwork. It's there! Wht does the Media Hub not see it as iTunes does?
5. Larger buffer options to cut back on load times for large libraies of photo files. Don't mind giving up some disk space for this too or using an external mem card!
6. Better Sony Play Station support as SP3 sees files as not compatible, yet plays them and not others.
7. When can we expect some form of software update?
8. Does the Media Hub (405) run faster with a single drive if you turn off the two drive option?

1. You have to understand that it would be close to impossible to place all the codecs in one device. As some codecs requires DRM.
2. I'm not sure what codec you are after in itunes since M3U is supported by the media hub. Supported File Types for the Built-In Media Player in the NMH
3. I strongly agree with you in this one. Duplicate files using the Import Tool should be automatically be removed. That's why I don't use the Import Tool anymore instead I just use the NTI Shadow when transferring files automatically to the hub.
4. The media hub uses AMG Server to look for album artworks. But the last upgrade of the firmware allows you to use your album arts without the interference of the AMG Server but the art must be tagged on the media file.
5. I agree with you on this one as well.
6. I always keep in mind that not all devices works as what we expect it to be. So better just bear with the Play Station support until we get some updates.
7. Only LinksysbyCisco can answer that. LoL
8. The media hub functions the same way regardless whether you are running on 2 drives or 1. But of course, there will be some minor differences on Read and Write performance when running on RAID 1 since both the drives will have to read and write the same files into it making the processor double its work.

When will a camera raw plugin beavailable for the Nikon D810

I recently purchased a Nikon D810 but can not see the images when I download them to either Lightroom or Photoshop. I am told I need a new plug-in. When will onebe available?

Check out this:
Re: Lightroom 5 and Nikon D810
There is a solution. Just install camera raw 8.6 to get support in Photoshop. Use dng converter 8.6 to convert the nef files to dng and import those in Lightroom if you want to use Lightroom to edit the raw files. It doesn't support the small "raw" files that the D810 generates but those are a complete and utter joke anyway and nobody should be using those, not even to save space.
>Update: I've just counted: there are 22 separate threads started in the last week asking why LR doesn't support the D810 and when will it be updated!
That must be a record. I don't think I have ever seen it as bad as with this camera. It must be incredibly popular or perhaps the change in the forum software is making it hard for people to peer down a few lines to see what has been posted already (I am being generous ;-) )

When will there be a NEW UPDATE for the 5800?

Im loving the phone, but there hasnt been a new significant update for the phone in a long time.
Really een for a new update ay, hopefuly widgets nd stuff for the home screen...

The problem you're referring to is the responsibility of the networks.
When a new firmware version is released it is given to the mobile network operators for branding and approval before being released to the general public. Operators are then supposed to make any modifications they want to the firmware (such as removing features, adding their logo etc.) and return it to Nokia for distribution via Nokia Software Update. The idea is that the new firmware will be available to users of branded phones and generic, unbranded phones more or less at the same time.
The problem with this theory is that firmware updates are about as high on the priority list of mobile network operators as looking for the Loch Ness monster. They really don't care about customers that they've already hooked and making sure their phones are up to date, they'd much rather concentrate their efforts on giving people new phones (and locking them into new contracts). The end result of this is that Nokia never receive the modified firmware from the operators, which also means that you can't update your phone because there's no new firmware to install on it. When queried about this by their customers, network operators will lie as a matter of routine and claim that they never received the updated firmware from Nokia, or that they returned it and Nokia never released it anyway. They will say anything to shift the blame away from themselves and make the manufacturer, or sometimes even the customer!, take the blame.
Some operators are better than others at approving updates. Unfortunately for you, Orange is among the worst.
The fact remains that the ball is in your operator's court now. V20 has been long since released and V21 was also released a couple of months ago. If they aren't available via NSU then that means that your operator hasn't yet bothered branding them and returning them to Nokia for distribution. The only people who can offer any help are your network operator. You need to hound them until they get themselves into gear and do something about it. Nokia can't help you because they can't distribute formware that they've not been given by the operator.

When will a Forum "Space" be Created for the DROID 4?

When will a Community Forum "Space" be created for the DROID 4? We are currently forced to post under either Android or the sub-section DROID / DROID 2, which is not working for us.
Thanks so much and kind regards,
ricemeli

Thanks for the response Ann. But respectfully, I -- and many other owners -- disagree. It causes much confusion and as a result many have posted their inquiries to the general Android Space or others. I have been experiencing several issues with my device lately, and when I first logged-in to the Verizon Community I spent an hour and a half searching for the DROID 4 Space, thinking that I was doing something wrong, searching in the wrong place, &c, &c. I have since read that many other DROID 4 owners have had that same experience before finally realizing that there IS no DROID 4 Space.
However, as you stated, the DROID 4 is somewhat similar to the DROID 2 (my previous two devices were DROID 2 GLOBALs) and as such in my opinion it would be a perfectly acceptable solution for the DROID 4 to be added to what is currently the DROID / DROID 2 Space if creation of a Space of its own is not deemed necessary by the Verizon Community Managers and Leaders. Doing so would provide much needed clarity for people in need of assistance to know exactly where to post their threads and requests for assistance sans all of the above confusion, and a far more positive Customer Service experience.
Thanks again and kind regards,
ricemeli

When will iPad 3 start pre-order for the 23 March-countries ?

I want to pre-order the new iPad but I live in Belgium and I can't pre-order yet
Ipad comes out 23 March in my country so does anyone know when it will start it's pre-orders if there will be any at all ?

Apple hasn't announced anything yet... I suggest you follow the twitter feeds of one of the blogs that tracks Apple and iPads (Macrumors, 9to5mac, imore, tuaw). They race to get out updates of news like that.

Hard drive on my mac died, installed new hard drive. When I try to sync my phone for the first time, will the computer wipe all the songs, photos, ibooks from my phone?

hard drive on my mac died, installed new hard drive. When I try to sync my phone for the first time, will the computer wipe all the songs, photos, ibooks from my phone?

Yes because that information is not located on the hard-drive of your new mac! If it is purchased content from the store, than this issue isn't as bad as it looks!
Here is a link explaining how to get your previously purchased content back:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
You also want to authorize your Apple ID account on the computer by following these instructions as well:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1730
Basically this link explains to go to the top left corner of your screen where you will see file, edit, view etc! Click on Store in that section and click on authorize this computer, also you want to make sure that the computer will not automatically sync by going to iTunes in the top left corner, just to the right of the apple symbol if iTunes is selected, and go to prefrences, and here you will see back up! Right under the back-ups has an option explaining to prevent devices from automatically syncing which is good cause you may be able to transfer your purchases from there which will put your content into the computer, and if that happens than we don't lose anything
Hopefully I was of some help:)
