Can't say I've shot any video with my A99 yet, but from what I've seen on these forums, it's one or two (possibly the same person with 2 accounts) bashing on it as hard as he can.

You seem to be seeing this through rose colored glasses. The A99 clearly has issues with regard to video. I just hope Sony can fix it via a firmware fix.

If that's how you think I'm seeing it, that's ok.  I was merely pointing out that it's the same 1 or 2 people spamming the forums with new threads and spamming other threads with posts regarding this "problem".  I bought the camera as a stills camera, had I intended on using it for video, I might have more to say about that aside from some forum observations.  For those that are having "video problems" with their A99s, I hope a solution does come sooner rather than later.  However, jumping on the forums and violently complaining and spamming about a "problem" with no proof of one's own is no way to bring up such things.  If someone has a problem, they should be able to provide their own proof of the problem, not simply linking other peoples' videos and complaining about it.  That seems too much like trolling to me.

To Shield3:  Instead of linking to other peoples' videos from the A99 and complaining about them, link your own videos displaying the problem, and maybe I'll believe you and your "Snarry Hatch" clone.  Again, not saying the "problem" doesn't exist, simply saying that you haven't provided a single shred of YOUR OWN PROOF that it does.

I'm looking forward to the first firmware update, the one that's supposed to add my 85ZA to the AF-D supported list.  If they fix the "video problems" that a small few seem to be having/complaining violently about, then that's icing on the cake.  I'm also looking forward to the release of the Planar T* 50mm f/1.4 ZA SSM this coming spring time.  I love the current 50mm f/1.4 from Sony, but a Zeiss version?  I'm all aboard.

I apologize if it seems I were a little too direct in certain parts of this post, but I'm rather tired of seeing the spam threads about it with no real proof from the people claiming to have the problem in question.
