A99 Soft Video Note~

It seems confusing to me.

We have a small number of ( it must be said, very vocal and persistant ) members on DPR who are unhappy with the A99 video performance.  Fair enough,  I have no reason to doubt their position and taken at face value they do seem pretty unhappy.

And yet, I have seen A99 video that looks just fine to me.

And, it must be said,  I have'nt seen any rival FF video ( Canon for example ) that really looks any different.

It may well be that there is something in the software that is making the A99 underperform for many people.  But if you dig around there are plenty of people complaining that the Canon 5D3 is soft as well, so it is hard to make any sense of it.

The A99 is still very new.  Hopefully a clearer picture can be extrapolated from when there is more evidence out there.

Right now we have the same small number of people complaining in the same circular way.  We need a larger sample size IMO.
