I had an A77ii and now own the NX1. The A77ii is a very good camera, but is pretty noisy in low light. I never understood why because DxO said it should be better. But when I compared it to the NX1 at ISO3200 under the same conditions the noise was too prevalent for me. For video the A77ii had a lot of issues too. For example, if you want AF, you are forced to use F/3.5 even if you lens is F/2.8. The NX1 on the other hand has 4K and 120FPS video.
There are good things about the A77ii too. The 16-50mm F/2.8 zoom is very inexpensive, and there are some older Minolta lenses that are great values. Most are too loud for video though.
Overall, I think the NX1 beats the A77ii in every category, so I would prefer the NX1.
Thanks, When I had the NX1 I purchased the 16-50 PZ lens and the 50-200. I really wasn't happy the 16-50 for some reason (I guess I just didn't like the power zoom). The 50-200 seemed decent for photos (I actually compared a photo I took with it compared to the Sony 70-300 "G" II w/the same exact settings and I actually liked the clarity on the NX1 better). I unfortunately deleted all the test video that I took with the NX1 so I couldn't compare it to the Sony. As I have mentioned in another thread, I'm just not sure that the 50-150 would be enough focal length for video at college football games (taking marching band video of my daughter). I'm not try to take pictures of her face from across the field (I tried that with the cannon from across the field and trying to do that handheld created an almost impossible video to watch).
With the NX1 you get 4K video. That is 4 times more resolution of the A77ii. Cropping it down to 1080p essentially doubles the focal length of the lens, and at the same time cropping allows for better centering of the subject.
I never thought about that, Hummm... I saw that mentioned somewhere but hadn't given it a second thought. I just googled it (you can tell I'm a noob) and there's an app for that (at least to play with) on the train. This just may push me over the edge and go back to the NX1. I'm going to have to try that in Premier Pro this evening to see the results even using the Sony. Thanks so much for the suggestion.
