I have a non-D (but G) version. 5 contact points vs 7 (or 8?) that you have. 5 points would not give you benefit of "D", and D version should be better "electronically" - such as focusing speed...

I have no experience with 5D3 but D800 is not a quick camera in Nikon line.I am not sure which one in Sony line is "quick" - I have A99, A77, A900, Nex5, Nex 7. None of them is comparable with my...

Sorry, not my experience. Though focus tracking is much more convenient now, you can turn it on and half press when your subject is in your target and the camera will track, but there are still 2...

I've tried it with CZ 24-70/2.8. and (of course subjectively) feel minimal difference if there is any. I think it's onlya  gimmick (though the points do show up in the EVF as glimering stars).

well, if you just read from web, Sony and old Minolta are the same. If you have tried, you would know they are different. Rebadging? I know. I guess Sony is not using the same type of material,...

Frankly, I shoot Sony only because of old Minolta lens the effect of which can not be produced by PP. Otherwise, I would advice think thrice before you invest into Sony.I have not heard of the new...

I shoot both Nikon (D3s at present) and Sony (Nex 7, A77, A99 now, A900 in the past) in football field under day light and flood light. Noise is a Big issue for A77 but much less so with A99....

I suppose you would use AF-Cthe I would suggest: Turn on Multiple Focusing Point;Turn On Rule of 3 GridTurn on Shutter Induced Focus Tracking if you would like Then the Central Rectangle would...

I love my A900 very much as well. My support here.

The Focus Tracking ability of A99 has improved over A77 in that the Focus Tracking can be triggered nearly immediately by half pressing the shutter. There are two advantages of this:Focus tracking...

Hi Michael,Getting the A99 would give you some joy which may compensate a bit of the loss of A850 and A700 including the APSC compartment. However, I am very satisfied with my A900 in many daily...

I noticed both of these and the second one is ore annoying. Still, it's a great improvement overall for Sony. One more thing, the Joy Stick feels very odd the first minute I tounched the camera but...

Good suggestion but it does not give u the result u would see in your final processing of your chosen software.

Enjoy -- look at the old man's face, Jpeg straight out, not bad isn't it!

Without showing the same site under lower ISO, please judge by yourself whether this one is acceptable to you - straight out from A99 at AWB Standard setting ( C -1 S -1 S +1).

its a great improvement at last for us Sony shooters.

Dear Michael,Thanks for interest. I would like to answer now since it is rather late in HK :).My experience in comparing the base ISO is limited BUT you see noise in basal ISO in A900, even at ISO...

CZ 24-70/2.8 1/320s F9 NR - normal, Standard (C-1 S -1 S +1) AWB Straight out unprocessed jpeg. Not bad isn't it ! Printed to A3 with Epson Stylus Pro 3885 on Epson premium glossy paper is very...
