The trouble is these days unless a camera has everything in it and on it the reviewers in the glossies will mark it down. It is also a “Must have” feature for the majority of buyers to have HD video, even if you dont want it your self. So the manufacturers bow to the “must haves” so they can sell th...

I bet a lot of people who don't even A55/Nex, like Walt, have voted in this poll. The poll is screwed up and does not represent actual Nex users who will answer differently. Barry voted and he does not even have a Sony capable of video? I have A-580 but like many have tried it on video but will use...

You would be surprised how many do not know that Minolta lenses fit Sony cameras Gregg, even so called enthusiasts.

Now for some Sony being a consumer electronics company rather than a company with photo background that could be a plus, but typically its not. Camera fans who follow dpreview or other sites, may know about alpha. But for most newbie’s and mid level users (Sony's primary sales target for the past f...

Enjoy Richard, you will certainly be able to do some damage with that baby. Spare a thought for us, Sony Style price here is $2700 AUD. Greg Well if it as good as I hope I may sell my Sigma 100-300mm f4 also my Tamron 200-500mm lens. I may see the new 500mm f4 lens at the Infocus show shortly, and ...

Ps. the A-580 and the A-560 are available in the UK if you look for them. Richard You just have to be a bit more determined....ha ha ha ha ha ha :lol: Greg sorry Richard...I couldn't resist :D Hi Gregg, It's like every thing in life if you don’t seek you wont find. :wink: Also in this day and age t...

What I said if you read my entry was, the lower end of the market is what Sony have aimed at, the next lot should be aimed at ones who take their photography more seriously the A-77 and up, Canon have done this strategy for years the lower end 1.6 crop sensors are aimed at “Happy Snappers” where as...

There you go again Barry assuming most photographers don’t need 24meg or any new ideas If the IQ is improved by that many pixels or any new things, many photographers would say “yes please”. But people like you would still say no because, like General Ludd in history any changes or improvements in ...

This whole conversation with people staking out there "final" position on the EVF/OVF question is kind of silly but still fun. IMO the next generation EVF will be significantly improved and will be quite acceptable to most people. This is just my guess though and we will just have to wait...

[quote** Note most US photo magazines repeat the same stuff over on a yearly cycle, and you can only read so many equipment reviews by people who don't know what they are talking about or the 53rd installment of curing red-eye. Higher end photo mags like Nature's Best are primarily showcases for C&a...

What do you class as ground breaking? Video or perhaps SLT technology? The days of the standard DSLR are numbered, Canon Nikon etc have been putting out warmed over models for a while now, better sensors, LCD’s etc but nothing what you would call ground breaking. I believe Sony have been very brave ...

Time will tell. It won't be for Barry Fitzgerald, but then he has at least one foot in the Pentax camp.

Yes time will tell no one should make their minds up before the event, who knows Sony may just give us the goods that are promised, and Barry has four feet in the Pentax camp.

Of course they are targeting the majority; they are not in it for doing favours for the minority. The A-33, 55 and NEX were all aimed at mass market, and it worked for them. The A 580 was aimed at people who wanted a DSLR, now when the A-77 or what ever it will be called that may be aimed at an eve...

I see that Canon have withdrawn from exhibiting at the NEC “In Focus”, Could it be because of the advertising?
Remember the Chimp with the Canon DSLR that David put on the forum?
Still Nikon/Sony and Pentax + others.
