However, what Kurt said about the correct testing procedure is dead-on. After all, he did perform more tests than anyone on this forum. And unlike many members of this forum, his opinions are based...

First of all, thank you for your effort. Actually a few weeks ago there were quite a few "unofficial" comparisons of the 900 vs. 77 published on the Internet. And in view of these comparisons *Kurt...

Not really. I am not here to badmouth EVF, but just want to point out the WYSIWYG only works on JPEG files. For RAW shooters what you see in the EVF is not necessarily what you get on the image....

I too had the problem with my A700 when it's already out of warranty. I used the contact cleaner method suggested here and on dyxum, one spray and it solved the problem. It has been almost 3 years...

I often forgot to turn off SSS when the camera is mounted on tripods; and only a very small percentage of those images that I can see SSS causes problem. As a matter of fact, I had so few shots...

I have similar experiences, that occasionally by leaving the SSS on with the camera mounted on tripods, the image could be blurrier than it should have been without SSS. Though I don't find it...

True, but what if someone (or the photographer him/herself) kicks/trips on the tripod so the setup (with a Gimbal or not) topples over? I have seen that happened a couple of times and it definitely...

Actually that's not completely true about the ballheads. If you get one of the ballheads with tension control, such as Markins, you can adjust the tension (the gripping force on the ball) to...

Because under uncontrolled conditions (not necessarily in the testing labs, mind you. If you ever read Kurt M's reviews then you know he doesn't do his testing in the /laboratory/), depending on...

Actually I agree with you on that. But that doesn't change the fact of what Kurt M. said about inadequate procedures were used in some of the A77 vs. A900 comparisons. Obviously not everyone,...

I don't see any statement in the paragraphs form Kurt M. you quoted that even implies /"the A77 doesn't even belong in the conversation."/ If you do, please shed some light on it for me. I don't...

Actually I think you have just made the question more complicated than it should be. :) Kurt M. was not talking about the price/performance ratio of two systems (body + lens) but the comparison of...

Yes I said EVF fans, but where did I say *you the EVF fan*? Unless of course you consider yourself one, but I have nothing to do with that. You are kidding, right? This thread is about the...

I didn't say anything about your position - pro or against EVF, where did I write that? Care to share that with me if you find those words? Because I sure can't find them. /So please don't put...

Please allow me to clarify: I am not skeptical about the exposure difference in situation you described; but I was confused about the mentioning of eyeglasses (read the second post in this thread),...

I know you are not addressing me but I would like to interject. The answer to your question is: I would if I had the A77 or A55. :) The fact is, since I don't have the A55 I can't verify one way or...

Exactly, neither am I in this discussion for the sake arguing the superiority of EVF or OVF. Tom, that's exactly my question. I can't duplicate this problem even I tried purposely so I am...

Actually the same can be said about EVF fans but I am not going to go so low to insult you by saying /your reading comprehension must not be too great/. It's a two-way street, both sides have their...

Absolutely. Though in that case (I guess it wasn't the OP who brought it up) what have eyeglasses to do with any of it? I think I might have been confused by other poster's posting. :)

/Best to get off the internet and just take our word for it./ That's funny! Got a bridge to sell? :)
