Let's break that video down and put it through Sony's current marketing test, shall we?

Sponsored by Sony? Yep, check.

:21 - Sun predominantly in scene, to distract viewer from mushy detailed footage? Check.

:28 to :38 - NOTHING is in focus. Talk about fluff.

:41 - Blown out water and no detail. Typical "halo" effect around the subject, which the a99 is good for. Check.

1:00 Exotic location. A random woman walking in the desert aimed to distract the viewer from no detail. Typical smoke & mirrors. Check.

1:19 - LOL - Time lapse! Congrats, you've found a video that ticks all the boxes! Well done!

2:09 - Wait, there's more! EXTREME wide angle shot. Don't pause it - there's no detail! Was this shot with a VHS camera?

3:03 - Shot with a real video camera, this rocky side of a mountain should look great. Pause it @ 3:03 and you be the judge. Yikes!

LOL You guys can't make this stuff up. I mean come on.
