I confess, I would never even attempt to take a photo of a group or people with blazing sun directly overhead.   That is essentially a recipe for failure.

The first shots from my A77 from the 70-400mm Sony G lens were awesome.   And frankly the more pics I take, the more impressed I am with this lens.  A real gem.

As I have stated in another place, why would anyone open a business and exclude 70% of the potential market.   Ebay's clientèle is 70% outside the USA, and so is DPR's. Also DPR does not disclose...

It never fails to amaze me why a retailer would commence a selling web site yet exclude more than 70% of their potential market.  Most of us know that Ebay's clientèle is 70% outside the USA.   So...

I use Corel Paint Shop Pro X3. Bought it for $29 on special. Does heaps more than I could ever use and I am very happy with the results.
Still irks me that if you buy in the US its $59, but in...

I upgraded from the A55 to A77.   Since I got the A77 I have not used the A55.   I am thrilled with this camera.   I rarely shoot anything in very low light, so light issues are not of concern to...

I have the Minolta 50mm, F1.4 and I have no problems with noise or slowness of AF.   In fact I consider this lens to be second only to my Sony 70-400G. Maybe, just maybe you do not have a good copy...

If as you say you eventually want to earn a living from photography you will need a far better camera than the A55.   I have an A55 and it will assist you to learn photography.   It would never be...

I recently bought an A77 upgrading from A55.   Could not be happier.  Yes, I got a very cheap price, but very happy with the camera and what I am now producing.

Well down under we are well into Autumn, but this year total rainfall so far has been about 40mm for the first 4 months of 2013.   Finally it looks like we will get some rain on Sunday.  ...

I have always found white flowers are not always easy to display via digital cameras. I also think that DOF could have been substantially improved if you were to shoot at say F11 with a much slower...

Twelve FPS on my A77.

I went from A350 to A55, and now to A77.   The A77 has blown me away with what I am now seeing on my computer screen.   Believe me, you will not be disappointed if you get this camera.   It really...

The 70-400G is one of the finest lenses available.   Due to my age, I can no longer hold it steady enough to get super sharp images at the long end, so I use a bipod or in some circumstances a tripod.

I suggest you should be very careful travelling to Thailand.    Australians visiting there outnumber tourists from other parts of the world.   There has been a significant deteriorating in the...

I agree, and you can add to that lens covers.   Woefully inadequate and generally cheap plastic. Not good enough.

I must confess, I am a straight out of the camera man.   I dislike intensely images that have been obviously fidgeted with that make them look quite fake in fact.   I do sometimes use PP, but...

I am somewhat disappointed that the author used only the old imperial measurements of inches. As 95% of the world now uses metric measurements and most in the world under 50 yrs do not...

Dpr please give us more articles like this. Extremely informative and of great value to the many amateurs that visit this site. I sure learnt a lot from their comments.
