CONS..
VIDEO LIGHTING JUMPS AROUND DUE TO THE AUTO MODE..NO WAY OUT.IF YOU NEED PRECISE VIDEO...FORGET IT..HOPEFULLY SONY WILL FIX FIRMWARE

VIEWFINDER...KINDA FUNKY..but will get used to it eventually

BATTERY LIFE...GOES FAST

OVERHEATING ...NO WARNING...ZIP YOUR DONE

TINY (GOOD THING I HAVE A BOTTOM GRIP)

FOCUS SEARCHES WHEN STATIC ON A SUBJECT

NEED TO BE RECORDING BEFORE YOU CAN ADJUST WHAT LITTLE ADJUSTMENTS THERE ARE in video mode
.................................................. ............
EVEN WITH IT'S ISSUES. FOR THE $$$ IT IS A HECK OF A CAMERA

ALL IN ALL FOR MOST PEOPLE IT IS A DREAM.

IF YOU NEED PRECISE VIDEO...FORGET IT.

Frank

[SONYNUT]

[SONYNUT]

Better than my old a700 was

[SONYNUT]

IF YOU PURELY TRUST ALL YOUR PICTURES TO AF...OK....IF YOU DO ALOT OF MANUAL FOCUS...YOU MAY NOT LIKE THE MINI TV VIEWFINDER....

TRY BEFORE YOU BUY.....YOU CAN SET IT UP SO IT GIVES YOU A CLOSER VIEW DURING FOCUS..BUT THAT TAKES SOME TIME TO GET USED TO



I'LL STICK TO MY HIGH END VIDEO FOR WORK ..BUT THIS IS PRETTY GOOD FOR WHAT IT IS.....AS LONG AS YOU DON'T NEED PERFECTION

AND IS A DECENT PRICE...


(NOTE ..LENS MM IS 1.5X SINCE IT HAS AN APS-C SENSOR)
