^ you do NOT use a $600 camera from the 1960's!

Shows the level of technology of my attackers.:lmao::thumbdown:

I knew it would only be a matter of time until Skieur came here and took a giant poo on this thread also.

OP: unless you have some specific need toe very fast AF in video or continuous drive mode, then there is no reason to get tha a77 over a similar traditional dslr or the NEX 5 or 7. Despite skieur's bizarre enthusiasm, the SLT series' drawbacks does not warrant it's advantages.

Yes, unless you want very fast autofocus in continous shooting and video, handheld sweep panorama in regular and 3D, in camera HDR, simulated tilt shift mode to eliminate wide angle distortion, fast frame noise reduction at around 20,000 ISO for low light, and fully customizable features, ....then listen to those resistant to change and new features photographers above.

Do you even realize why this doesn't make any sense at all? Have you ever actually used a view camera?

Now you're just blatantly showing your hate for Sony. Maybe you should just stop posting in this section.

i don't hate them, the A900 was a good camera

So, wait for the A99 at 36 megapixels full frame, if that is your style.

skieur

No thanks i will stick with a proper veiw finder

Just read my first reveiw of the A77 in a pro UK mag can't see any pro sports shooters buying it write speads slow so you struggle to get 12fps and you can only use it in AE (auto exposure) mode set, so the only way to control exposure is by ISO or exposure compensation, another thing the was concerning was the tester would not use it over ISO400 and didn't consider it suitable for low-light work

Sounds like a biased tester.

No it is one of the top UK mags been going for decades, what i didn't know untill i read the reveiw was that it will only shoot 12Fps (and that is a stretch even with fast cards) in Auto if you shoot sports in manual like me it only shoots 8fps which is not the way i shoot anyway

Well, you are certainly NOT shooting at 8 fps or faster with any other camera at 24 megapixels for sports, so what's your problem?

This is a visual representation of the entire internet. It ranges from important stuff in red to all of skieurs posts in purple.

hahahahha love it!! :lmao:

What most gets to me about 'skieur', is the fact he has to write his name after every post? How pompous is that??

Is the name 'skieur' meant to mean something to me? I'm assuming your famous??

The list of famed photographers went like this-

1- Ansel Adams
2- Henri Cartier Bresson
3- Skieur

I am sure you do love it. You are both at the same level of immaturity.

I'm pretty sure you are the only one who feels that way.

Why some people bragging about the ISO performance of the a77? The 7D produce as much noise but I don't see people making it a big deal. The IQ is better than any APS-C from Canon, Nikon (with the exception of D7000) based on test results. One of the things that I like about the a77 is the face registry which you can register up to 8 faces to the camera, and it will recognize the face and focus on them quickly even in crowded area. It is very useful when shooting a celebrity, wedding, or models

I think they believe you're delusional. And I kind of have to agree. The A77 has bad ISO performance from the reviews that I've read. And the autofocus is nothing to gawk at either.

I honestly don't understand what the big deal is. The A77 is a decent camera. It broke into the consumer market for high megapixel cameras. However, I don't know any professionals who use Sony. Maybe it's just me, but Sony has limited lenses, and their cameras are 'neat', but they are not what a pro looks for.

That's just it. Sony is consumer friendly, and "neat." They have a lot of intuitive software. It's just that most of that software probably seems gimmicky to professionals.

Why do people always come out with the "professionals don't use it" argument? Pro photography has little to do with photography as a hobby IMO. The truth is, Sony alphas offer much more than comparative DSLR's up to a certain range.

The things you say are "neat" are actually very useful features. Forget about all the auto stuff, that stuff is cool. Heck, forget about the A77 for a second... My entry level A33 has features that much more expensive cameras don't like phase-detect AF, In body IS, 7fps, an articulating screen etc... You can't deny that these are useful features packed into an affordable body.

I honestly feel bad when I see all these new people popping up with their sub $700 nikons and canons... They probably spent more than I did just to get less. and for what? Popular choice!

I researched every DSLR I could under $600 when I was shopping and there's simply nothing that topped the a33 in terms of bang for the buck. Try and prove me wrong.

I'm sure people will find a reason to right off everything I've said in this post. When you've spent more on your camera that does less then mine of course you have to try and right off all the useful features as "neat".
