A99


I was shooting a birthday party assignmrny with NEX7 and Leica lenses. Feels like a better fit for me.

I am not that fast yet bro my Manual Focusing is still not yet that fast. But seriously I salute those film era photographers they master the pre-focus using distance estimation. I am trying to do this technique also before I poke my eye to the view finder I try to estimate the distance of my subject... on good thing with MF is when your subject stays within the same distance or doesn't move around much you can just shoot and shoot :-)

My 1st prenup and wedding shoot experience is not that good I was stressed and needs to constantly move around etc etc it was tiring so I think I will never do that again hehe
 


one minor issue I have also with Sony is the skin tone looks like this has been corrected on A99.... This is the reason I am still holding Oly cam due to the skin tone OOC jpeg or pix. hardly I do correction to Oly skin tone.

Interesting. I had exact opposite experiences - I found the Oly pictures great for sky shots (the blue is especially nice) but found the skin tones on the A900 hard to beat... But it looks like the A99 has the same great skin tones as the A900 so that's a very very good thing!

hehe I have not used A900 so cant comment but with these bodies I had owned I could tell you the skin tone if not very accurate (A33, A55, A77 and NEX-7) I have used the same lens on NEX-7 comparing it with my EP3 the EP3 skin tone is more pleasing than my Sony, I always need to adjust the orange/yellow just to have the nice skin tone on my Sony... With the review mentioned that A99 skin tone is good close to natural that's really nice.

I'll try to do this when I have time shoot the same subject with same lighting and same lens (EP3 vs NEX-7) I will set all setting almost similar and will post the result :-)

The hk package is great
 

The price for body-only in SG is SGD 3,699. I bet anyone who took the HK package deal will be happy. ;)
 

Well you can pick it up from the stores in SG already...
Sony should tell Sony Singapore so they can put the price onto their homepage. ;)

Anyway, so how is it?

It's nice, but I haven't bought one.
 

The price here in SG is too high, and I'm not sure I need it.

yeah a bit high :-( sg, hk package was good

oh another sad news D600 has a Sensor dust issue due to it's shutter design :-( it's easy to acumulate dust *sigh*
