Good morning SAr readers. ope you recovered well from the new years party 🙂
I was checking some stores to see if the A77 is in Stock and found that unexpected new book: Sony SLT A65/A77 for Dummies!! (Click here to see it on Amazon). I guess everybody knows the book series so why should we care? Simple, that is a terrific popular series of books and if the Sony A77/A65 manages to get there than this means that Sony really got a hit with those new SLT cameras. I will skip the A77 and wait until the full frame SLT is out. Meanwhile I am testing the NEX-7 and will post my first impressions next week. One thing I can tell you know, I am extremely positively surprised by the EVF technology. I didn’t think it would be that good! I was sure I would be one of those guys saying..damn I want my classic optical viewfinder back! But honestly, I was wrong. You Sony engineers made a terrific work here!
P.S.: There is a more serious A77 book from David Busch you can preorder on Amazon (Click here).

I understand this series is really helpful. My neighbor bought the ‘Zip-Lock Sandwich Bag’ for Dumb-Dumbs’ and she was up and running in no time!
Now the reason is clear. There are no A77 in stock, cause dummies grabbed them all!
oi!
Now if they would only come up with a “Reading for Dummies” so as I could see what all the hullaballo was all about. Baby steps.
will it be a “Nex-7 for dummies” ?
I am a Sony shooter and have no problems with the idea of owning an a77 or a65, so take the following quips as wit, not wisdom.
I heard that there is only one page. It says to trade your camera in for a Canon or Nikon.
Isn’t the title a bit redundant?
Why would I want to do that?
David Busch’s A-65 book is also available for pre-order from Amazon. It will be out February 7th.
Hey Andrea, new year is here.. You know.. We’d love to hear about FF a-mount cameras.. 😀 Cheers!!
LOL! 😉
rotfl 😉
Gary Friedman is working on his A77 book, it should come out soon. I like his books.
Wow. If Friedman gets a move for a Sony camera it means that something big is starting to move!!
