I ran this by a Sony engineer thru my rep http://www.toshiba.co.jp/about/press/2013_07/pr1601.htm to see if it would speed up the buffer on the A77 and his answer was yes, but they didn't know how...

Using a Sandisk Extreme 16gig UHS-1 95mbs write speed and Delkin 16gig 633x cards I get 4 seconds to clear buffer from a burst shot on Raw on my camera! The Sony 94mbs do not write at 94mbs only...

It takes about 4 sec. to clear my buffer when iso is set to 12800 and I'm using Xfine jpg 24megs with noise redution set to low. Also a 13 frame Raw burst mode takes the same time to clear buffer...

The A77 actually takes 6 shots! The A77 buffer is small. I did get some info from a Sony engineer thru my rep that the A77 can take advantage of the faster UHS-2 cards from Toshiba which can write...

Yuck! Nasty looking!

That test was a joke! Real subject matter would be nice!

Make sure you have in the camera's menu the flash illuminator is turned on! Also the illuminator will not work if the camera is set to AF-C mode!

You could but a nice used film camera, enlarger and chemicals off of ebay cheaper than this!

I agree with everything you stated Clyde!These are my observations also which I have voiced to my Sony Reps all the time. I also refuse to buy the A99 and HVL-F60 until these issues are fixed or I...

On the ring flash issue Jamie the Nissin model is for shooting macro in the field primarily. The unit you mention would nice for product shots or fashion but terrible for insect photography. There...

Yes it was! There reason was that the cost for changing over to the new shoe was  going to raise manufacturing cost so much that it was prohibitive to produce the Pixel King Pro for Sony! I also...

Pixel informed me that they are not making the new Pixel King Pro period for Sony because of the new shoe!

They are plenty of radio triggers that fit directly onto the older hot shoe and some with TTL control from Phottix, Cowboy Studio, Pixel. I use the Pixel Kings for my A77 but I won't be able to...

Nice work! I love the Sony's for this type of photography! Thieving bird!

Mike I own the A77 so I know what you are talking about with the A57! I was being a tiny bit sarcastic about the OP being hell bent on finding something wrong with the 70-400 G II not being sharp...

I guess you didn't read the thread! There is always the Nikon D7100 and 80-400vr lens!

I trust this reviewer opinion over that dude on your you tube link any day since he does have real images to compare and not captures from a video! Hope you enjoy them sharp images in Gustav's...

I agree with the noise issue I shoot sports at 3200 iso and printed the images look really good but as far as the 100-300 APO focusing faster than the 80-200 APO HS no way Gary!

Mutliple exposure and ring flash! Pentax, Olympus, Nikon and Canon all have these!
