Hi JoeKnowing how chicks are jumping and bobbing around all the time, i would say the AF module is greatly improved to get so many keepers. Looks great. Cant wait for mine.
Joe
Yeah! A chance would be a good thing (in Diss?!):ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL:Now, how about some pole dancers in a dimly lit bar? We need to see the high ISO prowess of the A77 too.
Hi JimJono, Very nice my friend......... it's gonna be a very long month
Hi JanLooks fine to me! Although the chickens look a little underexposed.
Well, I really like it - most of the time one really doesn't think about it, but it does have advantages in that you see the exposure. It's not quite so good in really bright light (but it maybe just learning to do the gain properly). I'd certainly rather have it than the OVF on most APS/c cameras . . but perhaps not over the A900!Jono, how do you like the EVF on the A77 ?
Well, I think I will. Still, the 135 seems to be a real winner on the A77 - incidentally, only the first flower shot was taken with the CZ24-70.Hi Jono
These are great Jono, the CZ135 becomes a nice fast medium telephoto and shoes off it's IQ really well. The close up flower images images from the CZ24-70 are really sharp with nice shallow DOF. I wonder if anyone will ever bother buying the "A99" replacement for the A900?
Didn't mean to blame anyone or anything, just thinking out loud.At any rate, don't blame the camera!
Hi JanDidn't mean to blame anyone or anything, just thinking out loud.
Oh I don't know, they look fully feathered to me!Looks fine to me! Although the chickens look a little underexposed.
HI ThereHi Jono,
the images are looking really promising. I would be interested in a comparison shot of your A900 vs. your A77 with your Zeiss Zoom 24-70/2.8 because of pixel density and DOF.
Just in case you are planning to do these kind of comparison shots anyway, I would be extremely delighted if you then could do the following comparison:
Take with each camera 2 shots. One with the Zeiss Zoom @ 35mm/2.8 and one @ 70mm/2.8. The background to the subject (i.e. flowers or people) you are focusing on should be around 2 meters away, but not more. The wilder the background with colours and shapes, the better.
With this I hope to get e better understanding of the different "artistic appearance" of DOF and background blurring (sorry for my bad English) between the 2 cameras with the Zeiss zoom at these focal ranges and apertures.
Would be interesting to see, whether the higher pixel density of the A77 has influence on the character/appearance/impression of the different background rendering fullframe vs. APS-C sensor.
Thanks
