:-)  Nice, looking forward to the next installment. Dave

The OP stated; "I am new to Sony and haven't purchased yet still waiting to see what transforms this Autumn with Sony & Olympus. So...I stand corrected." Those of us that are long time A mount...

:-)  Just play 'Air' on a g.

Here is a shot of the face of El Capitan in Yosemite, hand held with the 70-400 G1 on the A900, and they were a little over 2/3 of the way up the face. Rest assured the 'silver' is a good lens.

A tap to the AF Range button made them appear.Dave

My A99V, version 1.01 set in AF-D and using CZ 24-70, CZ 16-35, and 70-200, do not show any assist point when being used; please tell me what error I am making?Dave

:-)  By exercising a good deal of foresight, I live within driving distance of an old fashioned camera store, that is fully staffed by photographers who are very knowledgeable.  They even have a...

Thanks for the tips!Dave

:-D The proverbial bullet has been bitten, and I just finished updating my gps data on my new A99.The evil firmware update did me in, as it includes ALL of my lens collection (gear list). Anxious...

:-D ! 16-35 CZ will take care of all you wide needs, and 24-70 CZ means you are out of the lens buying business

I went to the 900 after a few years of using the 700, And have never looked back.   Its like getting all new lens collection, and that viewfinder MUST be seen to believed.  After a year or so, I...

Again, I have never said it can't be done.  It is that I need to do it on a regular basis for a sequence of as many shots possible.Cheers, Dave

Just to make it clear, I LIKE EVF's.  I loved my R-1 and hated to part with it.  Having all that info on the screen, the horizon, all of it is great and needed.  The fact that they do not help me...

To refine the origional post, I never suggested that the 99 could not shoot a fast action shot.  My issue is getting a series of consecutive shots with fast action becomes problematic due to the...

Nord, I respect your opinion very much, but when I tried the 77 in the store, and later, the delay and smearing when I was panning made me give up on the idea.  Was I wrong? Many 'Pro' reviewers...

When the action is fast and unexpected and you have to keep moving with it, the OVF on the 900 has served me very well.  I hope they make another camera that can do it as well.  Cheers, Dave

:-D That sir is some very nice lemonade! Occasionally the weather gives us a lemon of a day, but nice work with yours! Do you use that Sigma since you seem to have the 70-200 and the 70-400 as I...

:-DThis is just one of a series that can run to 5 or more 'air' shots, and using the A77 or A99 is not working to get these for me; panning high speed objects is my only complaint, and if I could...

Yes, I have an A77 at my disposal, and I have used an A99 in the store, but the high speed panning I require is just no doable with those, and thats sad, because I would get one in a heartbeat. ...
