Mat Foulidis commented on the blog post Goodbye Sony A850! Now officially discontinued! 12 months ago · View
As a Sony alpha 900 owner, I must say that as expected as this move has been it is truly sad to see such an amazing camera be phased out. In time, I’m sure Sony will perfect the SLT technology and no matter what I will stick with this company that has truly kept the [...]

Mat Foulidis commented on the blog post DSLR with video has no future. The future are videocameras with larger sensors (says Thom Hogan) 1 year ago · View
As much I lock horns with Thom on most issues … I have to agree with him in some sense. One of the main reasons why Sony is transitioning towards the SLT and EVF is due to video capabilities and phase detection AF to make it stand out from competitors. Being someone who loves the [...]

Adam you’re right PMA usually does take place in April. Waiting until September to release the a77 would be a big mistake but trust me I’m sure the spokesperson made a mistake with the date of PMA.

Pepperoni, Did you ever hear of something called the Alpha A900 and A850. Those are professional grade cameras … that boast the world’s highest resolution full frame sensor. Don’t forget the fullframe AF carl zeiss lenses. Before spreading your Sony hatred please use facts to back up your arguments. Many photographers rely on the a900/850 [...]

Watching the video of the NX100 to the NEX5 comparison angered me to say the least. The user who made it is a complete idiot to say the least. Quoting Wikipedia … that’s just top notch. How about checking DXO Mark for sensor ratings. That’s right she’s too scared to do that cuz the NEX5′s [...]

mike, with all do respect I have to say you are among one of the most ignorant people I have ever heard speak. Your arguments are ill-founded and stupid to say the least. If you hate Sony so much why do you spend your time on a Sony DSLR forum site. I laughed at your [...]

It’s so exciting to think that a firmware update is nearing its release and that will make an already fantastic DSLR even better. Can’t wait to see the performance boosts this update will pack. I have to agree that AF is fast in all but low light conditions.

e-dawg, You’re a star … I couldn’t agree more. Your point is the basis of my belief as well. Anyone who has used a A900/850 loves its amazing OVF. I don’t have an A55 but I have tried it on numerous occasions and must say that its EVF just can’t compare to the far superior [...]

Since the Sony community is in such gridlock over the issue of the optical/electronic viewfinder … then both options should be allowed in the same way with the A55 and A580. Problem here is … most people who commented here aren’t pro users and will never opt for a A900 successor to start with. I’ve [...]

Ok guys here’s my point of view as a proud Alpha 900 user. Anyone who has ever used the A900 will tell you that its 100% coverage OVF is one of the best and brightest on the market at the moment (perhaps even the best). The stunning OVF of the camera is one of the [...]

I don’t know if this will ever go through but if it would I would be very happy. I don’t know why people have this cloud of negativity that surrounds Apple. Firstly, I’ll start off by saying that for technology purposes, I only use Sony and Apple products. If Apple were to acquire Sony, it [...]

This is extremely good news. I’m happy to hear that Sony is making an investment in reinforcing its FullFrame DSLR market. This is the news that we Sony Alpha 850/900 users were waiting to hear. Zeiss lenses for the A-mount have always been a strong point for Sony since they are highly prized by photographers [...]

I’ve tested the SAL-85F14Z twice and I must say that it is a true pleasure to use. It is definitely going to be next purchase and anyone who wishes to have great portraits for both professional and consumer use i.e. taking family pictures should strongly consider this lens. It is a must for every photography [...]
