Re: Sony A-99 11

The reality of the camera market is this; companies that make them lose money. That is... except for Sony. The fact that they only offer 3... maybe 4 DSLR style cameras is not by chance. It's because WE are dinosaurs and the asteroid is streaking towards the Caribbean. :cry: No company can survive b...

Re: Sony A-99 11

Ok... then think of it THIS way; in today's market, the companies that offer lots of different cameras and products in multiple lines from introductory up to professional... ARE GOING BROKE. Just look at Canon and Nikon. :oops: So it would SEEM... that the boffins at Sony are indeed onto something i...

Re: Sony A-99 11

There's no doubt, the A99ii is a great FF camera and it has seriously challenged and beaten in some areas, the Canikon's, However, its not the sort of camera I would want to own or use let alone afford as I am not a pro, just a happy snapper using Sony cameras at the budget end of the line. I still...

Re: Sony A-99 11

Tony Northrup has done a How-To video with an extensive review forth coming. He is a well known Canon/Nikon man... but says that the A99II is the closest to the perfect camera he has EVER seen. Even better than his beloved 5Dsr and D810!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7pYEnIvpq4 His tutorial on t...

Re: Sony a77II discontinued

Once you get the feel for the different situations and how the lens you have attached to the camera will respond, you'll REALLY be able to master the Autofocus options.

Again, Good Luck!

That setting is designed to track fast moving subjects... not necessarily slow moving or static subjects. Check THIS out: http://www.sony.net/Products/di/common/images/products/g2sw/ILCA-77M2_4DFOCUS_Camera_Settings_Guide.pdf Then I STRONGLY suggest you consider purchasing the A77II EBook by Gary Fr...

Re: DxO: Sony A900 vs Olympus E-M10II

Bad math.

A900 prototype was developed in 2007. Release to the public was DELAYED... so in effect, it's a 10 year old camera.

M 4/3 in 10 years is equal to 10 year old technology.

BTW, do you even KNOW what the Turing test is? THIS bot thinks not. :lol:

A6500 and A6300 share the SAME body. In fact, they are NEARLY identical in size and weight....

Re: Sony A-99 11

Since DPreview has a LONG and WELL DOCUMENTED history of being both biased and ANTI-SONY, I prefer the reviews from Imaging Resource when it comes to unbiased and COMPLETE reviews of new Sony gear.

Where do you see Canikon heading, I thought the Canon EOS M5 was a brave step, and I cannot see Sony running 2 mounts for ever. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keep in mind that Sony has run 2 mounts since 2010 an...
