Hi Jerrith Nice series. Greets from another happy A99 Belgian (Sint-Truiden) user . Rob www.picasaweb.google.be/alphamember

Maybe you can ask a loan from "the bank" ;-)

Hi Bruce, of course I meant a permanent remove of the mirror as a solution for photographers who only take still shots. I have the mirror in my A77 and A99 but I mostly use focus peaking with...

Hi David, it is good to see you back here once in awhile. You are very right. I saw this phenomena also, but only after a few months of having my A99. Then I did a test with and without mirror....

I can select flash off and flash auto on my A99 with the 58 flash.I don't understand what you mean.

Yes that is true and if the new Sony is as good or even better as the old one (maybe the best of all till now), then the new Sony 70-400 stays maybe even unbeaten.

You are right. My bad. Sorry.The link was published by a guy who works for Sony on a forum where the topic was discussed and he assured the forum members that Toshiba produces this sensor patented...

From what I read in a few sources, it is a Sony developed sensor, produced under license by Toshiba.There is a long term license agreement between the two about sensor manufacturing.

Little more info:at the bottom of this page you can find a comparsing test between the Tamron 28-75, the Sony 28-75 and the CZ 24-70. http://kurtmunger.com/tamron_sony_28_75mmid141.htmlNot special...

Kurt Munger is a respected reviewer. Look what he says about lenses for Sony:http://kurtmunger.com/lens_reviews_id21.htmlYou will find that you don't always need the most expensive lenses.Hope this...

Yes Wil,that's the one. By older I mean compared to the new one with build in AF motor but not for Sony.Rob

Hi William,I have the A99 myself for three months now. I purchased the 'old' Tamron 28-75 mm. I did so because of the very positive reviews, e.g. the one from Kurt Munger. There you will see that...

I bought a Sony U-1 94 MB/s 16 GB too for my A99. Corrupted after 20 shots (formatted in the camera).Tried the Sony recovery software (downloaded from their website). After that the card was total...

As for your point 4:I programmed the ISO button with the magnifier function and I moved the ISO function to the custom button (the former 'flash pop up' button). This solves your problem. This way...
