sony a77

[argieramos]

So it is crap in the studio ?

Why are you asking? I thought you used to own one? Now I see hehe!

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

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!

Will you ever post any shots from the A77 ? here's one from my old 1Dmk1 that dosn't get used much now

What are you trying to prove with that?
If you really know what you are talking about, that image is an easy capture with a77. Post something with no edit. So people can see how bad your 1D compare to today's standard. Unless, that picture is not yours hehehe!!!

You said you used to have the a55. Oh i see. You also used that camera for only 2 hours? Am i right? lol
You still didn't answer me. Why are you asking about the a55's performance in studio? You used one when you did an introduction about studio, right? Dont tell it was just a lie? Hehehe!!!

That was straight out of the camera at a show we were printing on site so no time to process, your a joke A77 would not focus fast enough, why would i post someone elses photo

Do you speak English, i used an a55 that belonged to a club member, i tried to set it up so he could shoot some studio shots

Then it's confirmed. I can smell your lies from a distance dude. You never touched the a77 or even the a55. Sorry but your claim about a77 not focus fast enough prove that you are nothing but a big liar and doesn't know what you are talking about. You can't even prove to me anything to back up your claim the you used the a77. First you said you used the a77 for a day. Today you are telling me that you used it for 2 hours only. You're getting owned bro haha!!
1D is nowhere near the the a77. Your claim means nothing. You said the a77 is point and shoot right? You know what? You're giving Canon users bad image

Why? Do you think I'm typing in Spanish?
Do you have some memory gap problem?
Go back to your old posts and look it up. Tell me, how long did you use the a55?
Why it was big deal to you about Sony not telling the consumer that the entry level a55 is not meant for studio? I can see holes in some of your statement hehee!

That is an easy shot. Any Sony would focus fast enough for that.

Easy shot? Those dogs are relatively small and very fast. I wouldn't say it was an 'easy' shot. Timing that shot with the delay of live view (even if small delay) would be difficult.

Go educate yourself. lol

 

[unpopular]

Argie. Why though? Why have you dedicated yourself to this thread?

If the a77 is as good as you say it is, it will prove itself regardless of the brand name. If the technology is good, it will be adopted. It'll be the future. What could possibly be your motivation? Why do you so tirelessly defend this platform.

This is coming from someone whom is seemingly still in high school? I'm very well educated... not as much in photography as other areas, but well educated regardless. I DO know enough about photography, however, to discount nearly everything you say.

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.

"The flipping mirror is dead." Yes---exactly. Just the way that motion pictures killed live theatre. It is as dead as motion pictures, which were officially killed off by television back in the 1950's. The flipping mirror is as dead as live music, which was killed off by Edison's wax cylinder recordings. The flipping mirror is as dead as home cooking, which was made obsolete by the development of the TV dinner. The flipping mirror is dead, as dead as doing math on paper became since the advent of the electronic calculator. The flipping mirror is dead, as dead as draft beer after the development of the first successful canned beer.

Yeah....the flipping mirror is dead....as dead as FM Radio in the age of the MP3 player...Uh-huh, riiiiight....

Sony started a revolution! They will change the industry and convert all the other companies to their new, upstart ways!!! Let me give you an example of Minolta logic/aka Sony logic: Let's make a flash foot design that violates the ISO standard for flash mounting systems...let's create our OWN, NEW, BETTER FLASH FOOT DESIGN!!!

Sorry, skieur...but you are such a weak opponent it's a shame that I have to use this information on you and utterly crush your dreams...but SONY is the only company that uses their oddball flash mounting foot....none of their chit works with anything else. Minolta lost their ASSES by heralding the "APSC film system" back in the 1990's. Do you not remember that technical marvel, APSC film??? (sarcasm). The idea that they could make it big by jumping into the APSC film camera market JUST prior to the dawn of digital photography is what doomed Minolta to obscurity, then near bankruptcy. Minolta's camera division was then sold to ANOTHER loser camera company, Konica. Konica--the shutter priority auto company that never could understand why its products failed, time after time...so, two loser camera companies became Konica/Minolta, and began business, then FAILED, and were forced to sell out to SONY....

Sorry dude...the failed unique flash foot...the failed APSC camera gamble than almost killed Minolta....the massive legal fees incurred from patent infringement that forced so many Minolta executives to retire in disgrace...the carcass of Minolta rotting until the scavengers at Konica saw an opportunity to pick the bones of a former third-rate company...only to find that the carcass was already maggot-infested...the fire sale of Konica/Minolta to Sony, a company in search of "SOME" camera designs and lens designs...eh...my God man...I know history quite well...Sony purchased the "assets" (if that is the right way to categorize what they bought) of two, FAILED, disgraced camera companies. Two companies that were stocked with executives who worked for companies which could not "cut it" in the camera business.

"New technology" like a unique flash mounting foot....that awesome Sony memory stick format...that awesome and FAILED SONY Betamax video format...that FAILED Minolta venture into the new-technology APSC cartridge loading film format....that unique dual-sensor Minolta d-slr that failed...that FAILED shutter-priority-only automatic that Konica espoused for so long....see the pattern here?

"New technology" like the flash foot, Memory Stick, Betamax, APSC film>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Massive, massive, massive failures. New does not guarantee success, my dear skieur. Far,far from it. New tech carries with it huge risks.

Dream on and keep telling yourself "the flapping mirror is dead." Long live Betamax! Long live Memory Stick! Long live APSC film cameras!

Misleading as usual, eh?
