There is no objective evidence that the a99, RX1, or VG900 FF Sony models shoot distinctive video worth the cost. The a65 or a57 are more affordable ways to get good still photographs. A NEX5 is cheaper and offers comparable video. A PJ760 or PJ710, with the fantastic stabilizer, and immunity from oer-heating, beat the pack for casual or action video.
I was impressed by what I saw in "The Calling" and there's a Sony promo wedding video floating around that looked really good too, so the A99 is capable of producing great looking video, at times mine let me down. So I'm going to give it another go and see if my camera was a dud or if there's something else at play.
When the camera nailed it, the video was fantastic. But hit and miss IQ is unacceptable for me, I need to know my camera is producing something every bit as good as what I'm seeing on the LCD as people are paying for what I'm shooting. The replacement should be here in a few days. I'm going to test along side my Nex5n again to see if its any better. If not I'm not sure what I'm going to do other than to return the new camera.
My two cents:
If you have a top notch camera, such as the A99, you must have equipment and quality of light (and/or exposure, WB, lenses, in-camera settings etc) what must be in par with... Because I admit this camera is picky about that, but it's not about a failure or so... But SKILLS ! imho
But hey, it's a Rolls not a 4x4...
