Re: NEX-5 zipwire ride video - our visit to Italy

What a spectacularly innovative way to show off the video prowess of the Nex 5. That must have been a brilliant experience for you both :shock: Where did the idea for that come from, had you been there before? I showed the video clip to my daughter Jayne, her words, Wow...that looks so cool I would ...

Re: Video with a55.

Really well done Daniel. Darkly amospheric and just long enough. All of this from the A55 + your editing and acting skills. I'm very pleased for you. Thank's for sharing, looking forward to your next production :)

Davy.

Re: POLL: How much do you use the video function?

I have an old H1 and R1 so don't qualify to vote but will be stepping up to A77 or next Nex when these new models appear. I am waiting to see how good they are then I'll make my mind up. But any stepup model for me must have video and I would be using it (fairly often). But the camera is predominate...

Re: Sony looks to change the world of DSLRs - Masashi 'Tiger

Thank's for the welcome Hendry. Seems like you are on a crusade to get me into double digit posting counts :lol: So here we go. I have been a fan of yours for a few years now, your style of photography and the way you write your travel dialogues/blog are excellent, few on these forums could emulate ...

Re: Are Sony control dials made of rubber?

A not so clever attack Hendry, cheap shot mate :P Well, well, well. You honor me. You, who out of the 47,260 other posts on this forum, have only found THREE (3) worth your time to respond to and one of them is mine. I must truly be blessed. A grand total of 47,260 posts and mysteriously you were d...

Re: Are Sony control dials made of rubber?

You know how when rubber gets old it dries out and cracks? Are the control dials on our Sony cameras made of rubber? I have seen what happens when rubber dials are cracked and it is not pretty so I am concerned about my A700 and A100. Cracked rubber dials are really pitiful. Will people laugh at al...

Re: Sony to hand over E-mount to Zeiss, Cosina, Tamron, Sigm

Great news. There are one or two people aboard who constantly tell us that Sony don't know what they are doing :lol: I suspect that they know (exactly) what they are doing and what we are seeing is only the beginning. Exciting times ahead.

Re: Sony looks to change the world of DSLRs - Masashi 'Tiger

Thanks for your explanations Barry. It gives me a better understanding of what drives you. What drives him isn't photography it just happens to be what he knows about. In my line of work I have met many like him. It doesn't matter if Sony make quantum leaps forward as they have practically done, he...
