sony a77

[cosmonaut]

Well in my area I see more hot babes with Sony's than any thing else that's reason enough for me there. You got to have your priorities right. LOL

Ah Skieur your back, I was starting to worry about you!!:thumbup: These threads may end without you..and that would be a shame!

The long and short of the story is that this is an argument with two Sony fanboys who have too keep rehashing the same arguments over and over, resulting in a dull thread for all to read. Despite photographers who actually know what they are talking about on this thread contributing decent arguments, ArgieMoron (nice pic by the way son, you look exactly how I imagined!) and Skieur keep on rehashing the same tired arguments that have no genuine basis or reality. But they do have a basis and reality in Sony world!

Your insertion of the term fanboy makes me laugh considering you put your own name next to the brand name "Nikon".
I am no fanboy. I am just merely stating facts that nothing is created perfect. None of you are actually giving decent discussion because of the fact that you guys only see the ugly things. A real experienced photographer knows better that camera is only a tool. I bet you wouldn't be able to highlight all the things that you actually can call "decent" made by these so called "more experienced" photographers.

I didn't say the A55 was pro level because i used one and i won't be using one again, i tried an A77 for the day and was not impressed may be good for landscape but i tried it for sport, i got my old 1Dmk1 out and it was no match but the old 1Dmk1 is one of the best cameras i have used

If you really are used to Pro cameras, you wouldn't bother yourself to own an entry level. Why would you even use an entry level a55 in studio, when you have something like professional camera? It didn't work out and you're bitching about it? If you liked 1D mk1 and didn't impress with the a77, then you really have issues.

If you have used the a77, what kind of switch do you see when you open the battery cover?

The switch to an inferior battery compartment.

The switch to an inferior battery compartment.

Another failed attempt. Next? lol

 

[argieramos]

Confirmed. Skieur really does live in a delusional world.

Crollo having mental disorder is confirmed! lol

On the contrary, considering the late start in comparison with Canon, Nikon, Pentax, and others Sony managed to steal marketshare from all of them and get to third place worldwide in DSLRs and that may not include the Nex or SLT series sales.

What you don't seem to understand Derrel is the big picture. Most of the pros here on this forum work in limited fields with limited scope. Beyond this forum there is a super broad range of pros who use everything from medium and large format digital cameras and backs through to those that are using DSLRs and even point and shoots or pocket cameras and many who use all of the above. I have used Sony, Minolta, Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Panasonic, Leica, and others and by the way I do not own an A77, so you jumped to another wrong conclusion. I don't need to justify any purchase but I can put unique new features to good use in my work and that is important.

The flipping mirror is dead. It is reaching its technological limitations. It is time for a new approach to go beyond those limitations of speed and vibration problems. Each Sony implimentation of the SLT has got better and the A99 will be better than the A77. Nikon and Canon may play a wait and see approach to the marketplace reaction to the Sony SLT but you can bet your bottom dollar that they will copy or adapt the concept if they think that the public will buy it. Either way, Sony has started the move to drop the flipping mirror and that is how changes in technology take place.

Totally. Just like Sony's Betamax system beat VHS decades ago...oh...wait...

I was giving people an introduction into studio lighting when i used the A55 because one of the members at the club could not see anything through his veiwfinder so i went on the net and found out it was a big problem. I took the A77 out from a shop where a friend works to have a go, why would i have wanted to open the battery cover ? another problem with it for me was it was small for my hands

 

[skieur]

Sooo.... does that answer the OP's question??

The OP is now dead! Skieur has bored him to death, he didn't realise it would cost him his life though, poor guy! This thread is so ridiculous that it's just a comedy show now in my opinion...

Well, you are making a major contribution to this comedy show, with your ludicrous attacks.:lmao:

I have found it pretty similar to the A55, which is my go-to camera. I have also found lots of great information on Sony cameras, lenses, and accessories on the Sony camera forum.

You said you used the a77 for a day right? You got the a77 full charge? The battery didn't die on you? I can see that you are just making things up. You even said that your old 1D was no match and still think it's one of the best camera you ever had. You obviously have an issue. If I ask you another question, you wouldnt be able to give an answer. You better be careful on what you are claiming because it could be use against you.

You are a real prat i said the A77 is not a match for 1D and where did i say i had A77 for a day, i had it for about 2 hour and that was 2 hours too long, i won't be back fed up of trying to explain to a dick

Your lame, nonsense and stupid attacks are the reasons why this thread is looking like a comedy show. And attacking me in my inbox will do you no good dude. It wont work on me. Loser! lol

So it is crap in the studio ?

You might want to check your old post. You said you used it for a day. You didn't say that you used the a77 for 2 hours. It's there unless you edit the post lol. If you think a77 is no match to 1D, then it's confirmed. You have an issue. You are now running away because you know that you will get owned next time I ask you something. Smart move lol!
