  1. It’s well known that in Asia, Sony promotes very well their products. Not the same story in the Western Hemisphere…

    I see a bunch of ads from Samsung and Panasonic (mostly about their P&S, not mirrorless) but they’re promoting their products strongly…why Sony doesn’t in Western countries as well?

  2. But the big question is, does the A57 suffer from the same intentional back-focus problem as the A65 does?

  3. This vid looks like reminder that a57 in fact can make a video. Music is looped and annoying. They screwed up movie about making a movie. To bad that there are still a lot of noise in night scenes. They should have used pc with AVerMedia DarkCrystal and hdmi.

  4. Interesting video. Nice to see someone shoot DSLR video without one of those ridiculous cages. A lot of people don’t like the SLT EVF, but it sure makes shooting video easier.

    An a57 with a DT 35mm f/1.8 Prime Lens, would be good for night shooting.

    1. @Stewe. Not trying to be a jerk, but exactly how did they screw up making a movie about a movie? When I was watching it, I thought, “Oh, this is a movie about making a movie…”, maybe not the best one I’ve ever seen, but it was clear they weren’t shooting a documentary on elephants.

      Also, I watched this on vimeo on my macbook and if there was noise in the night scenes I missed it completely. I’m not defending the A57 or any other Sony product. However when I see these ultra-tech comments on any number of other films and/or equipment used to make the film and the obligatory detailed analysis, I wonder if those making the comments have pushed into the “more science than art” vs “more art than science” aspect of film-making(?)

      Again, not trying to dis. May I see an example of what “right” looks like…perhaps something you’ve put together?

  5. I liked it, and yes, the anal side says that RGEAT isn’t what was meant, so what.
    Good to see people trying things, good on them.

  6. Excellent samples. I just bought one and the 60p is miles ahead of the 60i from the a33…

    I truly love my new a57. Between the focus peaking, fast shooting, lower-res sensor than the a77, the form factor, the speed of operation, the comfort of control, the improved EVF over the a33, the quality of video and the decent price, I am extremely pleased.
