aaron I shoot 3 weddings per weekend with my A850s. I always shoot my reception at iso800-1600, F4-5.6, 1/60th, with my F58 at 1/16 – 1/8 in concert with off-camera flashes. The noise hardly exists on my properly exposed photographs, and many of my clients order them as gallery wraps, and they look great in their italian hand-made albums. What load are you smoking? In comparison my partner’s images from his D700 have a yellow tinge (nikon tungsten has never looked great) and his skin tones always require a lot more retouching… and man that canon banding, it looks like all the pictures were printed on a printer with low ink.

Seriously. Looking forward to the A99, as the A850 already does fantastic for me (and many others who have a fucking clue how to shoot)

I tested the A99 at a photo exhibition in Kuala Lumpur.
It looks like a a77, cheap plastic feeling, and autofocus cannot compare with D800 which is at almost the same price now. And the d800 is sooo much nicer than the D600.

so I bought the d800 after using Minolta/sony for 17 years, including Dynax 9 and A900. I will miss the EVF and the LCD screen
Game over

Again.. poor sharpness in almost all of them.

I’m still waiting to see one crisp sharp image from a99 at the full original resolution.

Noise free is not the issue, but up to the competition would be nice..
