Now I know that i HAVE to buy that lens for my A77 before I go to Africa. Great shots!

Thanks for the compliments on my video work. I have been transitioning from still photography to video for the last year or so.The ONLY A77 negative I can think of is the crop factor that is...

Hi Richard,I can tell you personally that the A77 is a great camera for video. You don't really need anything special to shoot video. Your best asset would be a good tripod with a fluid head for...

Nice. RC copter video has come a long way in the last few years.

Have you looked at the GoPro HD2? They already have a housing set up for using 2 GoPros together as a 3D camera. Looks pretty slick to me. I've used the Fuji W3 for 3D but it is only 720p. Sony has...

The quality of lighting, color and resolution were good, but I found it a little long as well. With time-lapse, I've found it is better to keep changing scenes every 10 seconds or less, unless the...

Many of us seem to be chasing the 4k resolution trend. It looks better, no doubt, (even after compressing ti to display at 720p) but as far as being able to deliver it to the masses, is the public...

My vote goes to the Sony RX100. It looks pretty sweet, if a bit pricy. It is already sold out and it was just released. I think I'll buy it for my wife, but "borrow" it when I need a pocketable 2nd...

I use a Sony A77 (similar to your A57) to shoot photos and video. When I go on vacation, I take plenty of batteries to last 1 day (4), battery charger(s) and a 32GB SD card and a spare 8MB card. I...

Here are a few I did using the HDR painting effect with a fish-eye lens.

You stated:"I need a weather sealed unit, an articulating multi touch screen, along with the peace of mind that comes from having a reliable rig. "Have you looked at the Sony A77? It has been very...

Nice.

I agree, The built-in microphone on the A77 sucks.The Rode VideoMic Pro is the way to go. Good quality audio at a reasonable price and if you want more refined audio, add the Beachtek box.Randy

I have used the A77 for low light video, and it seems to do pretty well. One factor nobody has discussed in this thread is the speed of the lens. Low light to the sensor = noise. A 50mm 1.4 would...

The LCD viewfinder you supplied a link for works very well on the A77. It is made by Neewer and has a see-through protective plastic plate with an adhesive that attaches to the LCD. The magnifier...

I currently use my A-350 for stills, but for video, I use my Sony TX-1. The stills on the TX-1 are pretty noisy, so I'm thinking of getting an NEX-7 for a lightweight body that could utilize all of...

I love the A77 for video. That's the main reason I bought it. I had already collected a few nice lenses and was using a Sony A-350 for still photography. I now use the A77 for video almost...

If you have a PC you can use Sony Vegas Movie Studio or Sony Vegas Pro to edit AVCHD files natively. No conversion required.

I love the in camera HDR painting effect. It makse it a lot easier to process time-lapse movies using HDR.HDR time-lapse of downtown L.A. https://vimeo.com/42899597 Using an 8mm wide-angle fish-eye...

I use the Sony Vegas Pro 11, which will do just about anything you want. Its pricy, but if you start using Sony Vegas Movie Studio, and need more features, you can always upgrade to Sony Vegas Pro...
