Re: Sony A77 - It is working for me.
I expect that the pros elaborate such questions and give the answers to us amateurs. :sleep006:With all the expected raging enthusiasm of early adopters, it is a bit difficult to sort out the true functionality and ability of this camera
The notion that "who cares about high ISO", and "most pros and semi-pros shoot at 100 or 200 anyway", is something of red flag, since most anything on the market does really well at low ISOs. Sounds suspiciously like it isn't quite advancing the cause, and meeting expectations.
I get the appeal of a smaller camera, etc. etc. ... that interest me also, if for no other reason than as second camera to the A900. But it has to do something the A900 can't. In the opinion of those exploring this camera in hand, what might that be?
I'm not talking about video, or circus tricks to entertain the bored ... real world stuff. Does it have less lag? Shoot at relatively higher ISOs with exceptional IQ (so more available light can be done with lenses like the ZA24/2), does it focus faster in low light, and is it as accurate as the A900? (one of the A900's strengths over camera's like the Canon 5D-II). How's the out -of-camera color at ISO 400, 800 and 1,000 compared to the A900? Can it actually produce a usable image at ISO 3200/6400? ... yes, as a Pro, I would use 3200/6400, and I have pushed my A900 to do so in certain situations.
Not trying to be a wet blanket here, and no offense to buyers, just asking what this pup can do?
