Hi Greg, If you read some of the “Reviews?” the Jpegs are not that good, I can assure you with good lenses they are excellent, I did a test with my Sigma 100-300mm f4 And I can say they are fine with my old eyes even the viewfinder is stunning, my biggest fear before trying. Overall I find it a very...

Morning all, well it is here! I have the A-77 as do quite a few others and we love them, yes there could be improvements, no camera made is perfect, although one or two people may claim that their Canpentnikoly is? One- how long does it take to change an SD card? The next thing, I see quite a few Ca...

I nearly did not buy the A-77, when I first tried it the viewfinder and a few other points on it then I tried the 1.03 firmware version and also good quality lenses and that persuaded it for me. If I did not have “quality” lenses it would not have been worth it, to get the best out of the sensor i’m...

While in town today (Worcester) I passed the London Camera Exchange (LCE) and they had both A77 and A65 on display 'for sale' in the window. I was only able to resist going in to check out the new bodies because my car park ticket was about to expire. I recently called into LCE Colchester to get th...

Not having two cameras side by side, I could not say for sure but the responsiveness was/is better, yes. There is still a sort of lag when operating the adjustments which means I sometimes overshoot on changing aperture or exposure correction. I did not find the 1.02 firmware so slow I would have r...

Hi All, Nikon also have problems I bought an D7000 last week, that had a focusing fault selection, I bought it because on trying the A-77 with firmware 1.02 instaled I did not like the slowness of use, well I took the Nikon back to the shop and they asked me to try the new A-77 stock in with firmwar...

Henry's posts are giving this forum such a negative feel that I doubt we will have any Alpha users left soon. I have owned KM7D, KM5D, A100 (x2 together), 200 (x2 together), 700 (x2 because of issue), 350 (x3, still got two), 550, 580, 900, 55, 77, NEX-5 and also used for test purposes several othe...

Great shot Richard, do your bees bob and weave around a lot? or are they a bit more steady than ours? Yeah wow that is some millipede jcoffin. Greg They certainly don’t hang about much over here, summer is so short normally they have to get as much food as they can and as fast as they can Gregg. Th...

Ring lights are just that, not much good for other than lighting. As the others have said the Sigma is far better, or you could try one of the flash gun conversions made by Flaghead, I have not used one myself,a friend of mine has with Nikon and he says it works well, you won't be able to switch sid...

Apparently the chimpanzee advert WAS the trigger which made them pull out. They had just had a European management reshuffle, the new managers were not happy with the £300,000 cost of attending Focus (to reach 30,000 visitors - £10 per person), and when this arrived they pulled the plug including t...

Brilliant shots, brilliant countryside with a big sky, fresh salmon and trout from the river cooked over a camp fire what could be better.
Thanks for that Frank
Richard

ps. Lots of luck with that Richard

What is that Greg, nicking the 500mm lens?

mike2008 it was an observation that we have never seen any photos from you, all we ever see is you jumping to the defence of Sony at every opportunity, warranted or not. If you were to actually join in in the forum more instead of the one track record of defending Sony I might see you in a differen...

He does not have to buy one, I have one gathering dust some where.

I'm going to buy an A55 :shock: It appears that the calendar program on my computer has a bug! My system says the date is 4 March, not 1 April. Curse you, Bill Gates!!! :wink: With best wishes, - Tom - April the 1st is not that far away perhaps it is Barry getting in early :wink: :lol: :lol:
