I agree with ThomasSwitzerland. Somebody very soon will figure out a way to monetize the use of the internet.

I attended my one and only Sony meetup last August and I was very impressed. I'd live to attend more but work and domestic responsibilities get in the way. I wish there were more Sony dates, as...

Here's the link to my blog entry, showcasing the auto ISO feature on the a99: http://elementalview.blogspot.ca/2013/08/the-sony-diaries-4-high-iso-no-worries.html

Here are my observations after using the a99 for 6 weddings (second shooter) in 2 months, averaging 2400 shots per wedding (11-13 hr weddings, shooting 200 shots as per studio specs). The vertical...

Professional or not, do it ONLY for altruistic reasons. If you have to think twice about it, taking into consideration tax receipts, overhead, etc, then don't do it. It's not for you. Nothing wrong...

Is it possible that the professional wedding photographer who cares enough about his work to invest in fast lenses may just be a better photographer? Is there a reason why the majority of...

I've been using the Sony a99 for the last 2 months. The second shooter standing beside has to ask me if I've taken my shots yet because she didn't hear the mirror/shutter sound. It's a full sized...

In event/wedding photography,  "ambient" ALWAYS means ambient AND the judicious use of fill flash. Show me a portrait shot only with ambient light and I'll show you an image that either has a...

I have the same thoughts as above. F2.8 lenses are a must, at least for 24-70 and 70-200. There is just no way to capture the ambient light in most churches and reception areas with anything...

My a99 is very quiet compared to any of the Canons/Nikons.

I switched to Sony a65/a57/a99 from the Canon 5d2/60D. I went Alpha for now because the NEX series didn't have the features set I needed for weddings and events I will be very interested in the...

This is so very good to know since I cancelled my order for the SIGMA 24F1.8macro (not available until mid-August) and went instead for the 35f1.4. Can't wait to test it on wedding reception...

pound for pound, feature for feature, the best value is the a57. I also have the a65 and the a99. The a99 of course is in a different league and I use it for every job but the a57 is definitely the...

I havent used the a900 but I have used 5D1/5D2 for 5 years (and still use it occasionally for a studio that uses Canon) but after having switched to the a65/a57 2 years ago and last month to the...

I've had my a99 for a week now and I am so pleased I stayed with Sony for full frame!! (Note: A 6D body just came down in price to $1499). Along with the Sony features that I am already familiar...

I gave up on entering competitions years ago. Initially. i was an ego boost and worth the extra expense of framing my "art". Very shortly thereafter, I realized that I didn't need the ego boost and...

I solved my a65 flash issues by using Metz instead of Sony.

Fish would not be edible... loaded with toxins.

I should be getting my a99 in the next few days:-) Can't wait to put it through its paces:-D
