Sony A77 vs Nikon D7000 - Shooting Parkour

[DigitalRev]

We've upgraded the Sony A77 firmware, which apparently fixes the sluggishness issues of the switch from LCD to EVF. But how does it perform when compared to a Nikon D7000?

The conclusion of the video really soft-pedals the Sony's weaknesses--poor light metering, bad buffer depth,some issues with out of focus frames, and a sub-par viewfinder...most reviewers try to give an honest, complete, straightforward summary of a camera's weaknesses using "words" at the end of a video review; the way Kai mumbles meaningless drivel at the conclusion phase of this video when ostensibly summarizing the A77's performance is, to an alert viewer, a rather damning indictment of this video...

I do not understand why the Sony's failings are not simply summed up at the end of the video. Is DigitalRev selling cameras??? Oh...yeah...you guys are not just a review site, but a camera dealer!!! I used to sell cameras--customers want HONEST and COMPLETE information. Integrity is worth a great deal. Soft-pedaling (aka deliberately glossing over) flaws and weaknesses does no favors for any buyer.
