Sony a55 timelapse
Let’s start with a triple “made in Russia” review:
1) Personal impressions of Sony Alpha SLT-A33 Kit (pavel-kosenko)
2) Test Sony SLT-A33 (chistoprudov.livejournal)
3) Sony A55/A33 test (livejournal)
And that is very interesting: JVC released a videocamera that looks like a NEX camera with a big lens attached (See images at DC.watch!)
Sony A390: análisis (Quesabesde).
Sony WX10 Hands-On Review (Photographybay).
Three NEX cameras made it into the top 10 of the weekly most sold system cameras in Japan (BCNranking).
A readers mail: “Contacted Sony Canada to ask about the availability of the Alpha 580. I was told that they did not know if / when the Sony Alpha 580 would be available in Canada. On the Sony.ca site, the only DSLR cameras are the 900, the 850 and the 390. Does Sony figure that Canadians don’t take photos?“

Does people actually live in Canada?
yeah philip, people do live in Canada. and we probably have more SonyStyle stores in Toronto than anywhere I’ve been before.
Tell the emailer to buy it in the US and cross the boarder.
Are we sure that video is labeled correctly? It was uploaded over 4 months ago, and the comments seem to indicate it isn’t an HX100V.
You are right Josh! I removed the video and added a different video.
what the hell is a Konica Minolta HD lens doing on a JVC? didn’t they stop making anything camera?
And this is no K-M branded camera. Lens only.
That JVC looked… weird. Very Weird.

hi Admin. i will use this site to start a forum discussion because i see this site as very active on peoples ideas and i will use this site to buy my next camera body if something has been decided.
as we know, the next Sony semi-professional camera is coming in the next six months (if we are lucky). i am a wedding photographer on some weekends who needs another camera body and torn if i should get a850 FF or nikon d7000. i currently use a700 (lenses are: minolta 28-75/2.8; minolta 80-200/2.8 APO white; minolta 50/1.7; minolta 50/2.8 macro; sony 35/1.8; sony 30/2.8 macro; sony 18-250/3.5-6.3; and 18-70 kit lens.
for the time being, if i decide d7000 (i might sell it when the next sony has come or i might change to Nikon if sony doesn’t deliver), the reason is there’s a store that’s holding a d7000 for me as we speak but i also have to buy flash, extra battery and memory sticks. or sony a850 FF for my minolta lenses that are FF. i’m not so much with video right now as i only do stills but i welcome it but NOT now. i have a camcorder, of course, sony that does that with 120gb of storage.
so i am seeking advice from enthusiast (who might have a good idea) and pros alike. please respond to this thread. please bear in mind that i also take wide angle shots in wedding (d7000 i heard has a good AF points) not just portraits and all my accessories are compatible with a850.
thank you all in advance.
Except video I couldn’t see any advantage of d7000 over A850. You have enough FF lenses, may be you have to just add some Zeiss prime e.g.135mm. To switch systems always is expensive.
Most of us are Sony fans, so obviously we’re gonna tell you to get the a850/a900. But at the end of the day I’d rather have a full frame than a crop, especially if you’re doing wide angle shots.
thx Ed and Av, just hard for me to go the other way so i’m seeking advice. i just hope sonystyle have instant rebates, too. i’m closer to a850 than d7000 anyways. CZ lenses are next after the body.
the timelapse clip so… ugly 🙁

Hi!
Many thanks 4 Ur interesting 2 russian alpha-men community! It’s very pleasant 4 all us to read russian reviews of new alphas!
Many thanks! And GOOD LUCK!
Hi,
It shaped like the wierd looking f707, 717… Series… Could be a cool thing!
Would be nice if Konica Minolta made more third party lenses. They should make a range of them like Zeiss does.
that is if only Minolta were still a camera company, remember Sony Bought there camera division completely.
Camera division, yes, entire optical division, no.
