I've been shooting for 8 years now on various types of cameras and I have to say by far (bang for buck) that the Sony A77 is the best camera I've ever used. Especially now that I put a Tamron f2.8 24-70mm lens on it. WOW! It's just stunning.

Why does it have a mirror if it uses electronic viewfinder? What does it do?
@mrflyers2009 9 жыл бұрын
sergycm13 helps the lens focus easier with the light being reflected straight to a focusing sensor rather than going straight to the photo sensor then focusing or maybe the focus points are on the mirror it's self meaning it focuses before the light even reaches the sensor

+Stephen D I think sony also realized how stupid that was and now they went mirrorless with the Sony A7 :) Whoever did the translucent thing maybe got fired.
@mrflyers2009 8 жыл бұрын
JayVan Geli Well from what I have read canon done it way back in 1965 with the Canon Pellix and for the time it was quite good as it allowed ttl metering and avoided viewfinder blackouts which is useful for shooting sports and such but for a camera with a digital viewfinder such as these Sony ones it seems rather pointless to have this as you lose a lot of the light coming in and have a digital viewfinder so a mirror isn't needed

Hey, yeah. I think somebody realized it and said "oh yeah, we dont a mirror at all."

It's really not that biased, I think he's being fair like everyone else towards sony. Given the status of nikon and canon, it's hard to let sony come up with these new techs without giving them a little pushing around before they strike things right. And I absolutely love my a77, it doesn't matter what other people say lol. I know there are better features in some other cameras, but it's what I wanted for my minolta lenses, and I really enjoy the DSLT tech

Good review. I like the point about the semi translucent mirror losing some of the light. I've been wondering about the technology and if it had any impact on the amount of ligt reaching the actual sensor, so it was great that Kai touched on that issue!
@airfixman1234 13 жыл бұрын
@Xynomavro the mirror is for the phase detection autofocus sensors - the same type found in dslrs. Phase detection autofocus is quicker than contrast detection autofocus - the type found in compacts and mirrorless cameras (compact system cameras)
@DanielYoo 11 жыл бұрын
so would you say the sony has the best user friendly quality to shoot video in autofocus? I'm looking for slr quality but more to shoot myself, cause I dont have a camera man to manually adjust a slr while I perform.

@harth1026 12 жыл бұрын
@Moemay9 Actually, the delay I was talking about here was with electronic viewfinders in general. Basically, there is a small delay with the sensor collecting the image data, the electronics processing it, and then displaying it to the viewfinder. You may not think it's much, but it could mean the difference between getting the shot and missing it.
@TechInspected 13 жыл бұрын
@eizlez Simply put, Phase detection is a ton better (faster and accurate) than contrast. It does traditionally need a mirror beaming light into the phase sensor to work.

@Ticknorphoto 13 жыл бұрын
@teojm37 for continuous phase detection auto-focus -- phase detection focus during video and focus continues while a photo is being exposed (when the mirror flips up in a traditional dSLR, auto-focus is offline, so takes time to reacquire focus after one exposure ends and before the next exposure can start )

Take a look at the Sigma 17-50mm F2.8, similar performance to the Sony 16-50 and cheaper. Both outclass the Tamron 17-50 and makes the 18-55 kit lens look like a silly lump of plastic.

I hope that's ONLY for that display, and not the internal one in the viewfinder. If this turns out to be a genuine problem, I'll be mighty upset. but aside from that, I don't see any other problems here.

Great review Kai! First of all, pretty amazing camera from Sony. Robust construction and weather sealing, great LCD display, Mind-blow capture rates give competitors a run for their money. Too bad it robs you of half a stop of light and about half a second for start-up/adjustments, both spelling the difference between getting the shot or missing it entirely. Also, I prefer the sound of mirrors flipping up kinda like the rev of a V12 engine.
@edoadimasta18 13 жыл бұрын
@gundamwang The delay also exist on the a55. Its the time lag for the reaction of the eye sensor and change from LCD to EVF. Howover, if you change the setting for EVF/LCD to manual. You can let the EVF on all the time. So there will be no delay.
