Most photographers (and reviewers) are used with Nikon and Canon, and their lens investment is within these systems. Sony is still a new player, so I think it will still take some time to build a...

With high-resolution cameras like the A77 and A99 I really enjoy the EVF with focus peaking and focus loupe. For critical focusing manual focus is king, and with the A77/A99 you can work with...

I really like these. High quality work.

Accepted ;-)

I liked this for a pro class camera: "Lots of pro video features, but to beginners, videocameras with smaller sensors are much easier to handle." You say: A pro camera should be less pro! :-D

People are acting like 0.3 to 0.5 stop does matter for real world results. Process the files and the differences are very much smoothed out. Who are presenting non-processed raw files??? Also take...

There will hardly be any visible differences between the aps-c cameras on the marked when comparing fully processed and printed pictures taken at very high ISO settings, given that the same scene...

A good starting point: The Sony SLT cameras are beautiful 'wysiwyg' picture taking devices. This is how I take adventage of the excellent 'wysiwyg' feature myself: I always use manual exposure...

Just love the Fairy Swordsman - always wanted the real thing, or a Huntsman. They were among my favourites. ;-)

Love it! :-)

AF-D, left AF zone. I really love using AF zone and use the joustick for flexing between the left, middle and right group of AF points on the fly!

Actually, I don't hardly use the ISO setting. My cameras are "fixed" at ISO 200. I just expose correct when the situation and subject allows this. If some underexposure is needed, i.e. to ensure...

The large seagull acts like some people on web forums ... ?   :-D

I will keep my first generation 70-400 mm lens, at least until the new 400 mm f:4 is available - depends on price, sharpness and bokeh of this rumored telephoto prime.

Today I had some visitors outside my house. One of them acted like mad and screamed and shouted all the time, attacking other visitors! One of those 'Angry Birds', I supppose. Sony A99 and G 70-400...

Great! I would love to be there! Maybe putting my A99 behind one of these bright modified cassegrain telescopes!

Is weather sealing, better build, better AF module, etc. bells & whistles? I thought this term was used to describe less important features to make a product look great.

When I looked at some pictures from a few days back, I started with this frame. I have to admit that I jumped in my chair when I first saw all the dark spots. I coudn't believe that the A99 sensor...

Sure, flash makes a difference. Very nice! What about increasing the shutter speed so that the background don't turn out that dark? Just a thought.

I have earned my living from photography for many yeras (news/press, books, art, ect.), and never had a better camera than the A99. I think I have used ISO 6400 a few times for commercial work...
