A58 vs A57: no 60/50p, worse screen, less fps
In reply to m00tmike, 3 months ago
If I were to buy a camera today, I would buy the same A57 that I have right now.

A58 is a deal breaker for me because:

  • No 60p/50p video
  • screen articulates in less directions, can't fold away, and might not fold as easily in a hurry, especially when quickly trying to wrap up.
  • Less fps burst shooting

I highly doubt the 20mp sensor is better than the 16mp sensor. Resolution wise, who cares. Quality wise, you might simply get the same annoying effect with as with the A65, where you end up worrying forever if noise per surface area vs noise per pixel is really correct or not. IMO, no it's not. A65 owners think otherwise of course.
