WhaT does he mean by ” in practise”
In reality, as in when you’re actually using it.
practice is like the job at hand, in use, in reality. :P
is that the kit lens?
NO It’s not the kit lens, In fact A900 is not packaged with any lens
just came back from BH store where i had the opportunity to play around with this baby. They had 2 A900′s with different lenses available: some cheapo crappy kit plastic-fantastic(no match for the camera) and the wonderful 24-70 F2.8 Carl Zeiss. What dramatic difference in the results. I once again played with Nikon D700 and put similar settings in both D700 and A900 – both wonderful tools. See nothing so different in Nikon to drool over if you have a great set of Minolta/Sony lenses
So freaking sweet.. but yes $2200 ..without a suiting lens. It certainly keeps you dreaming :!
I’ll admit it looks very convenient with all the silly gadgets. But that fact makes me loose confidence in it.
digital single lens reflex camera…dslr for those who don’t know…
Can i have that sony a900 with the lens your holding? lol jk jk
Ergonomics aside, the main difference is Nikon’s better handling of noise and high ISO’s
Instead of taking 20 pictures to get it right you can keep that number down getting the correct exposure right with the first shot. In some situations it might be useful. I however don’t.
The weight of this thing with the 24-70mm f/2.8 lens is just super heavy, I mean, it’s a brick!
wtf…. lol “oooh” is that for real?
I know it’s probably an acronym or code for continuous exposures but it’s still hilarious
Like to hear that the shutter sound is so much better than the a700′s
Indeed it does, but admit it: You wouldn’t want it any other way. I own one and I absolutely love it!
It is a nice camera, even though I still can’t get used to the Sony logo to a camera. But the brand issue aside, I just got the 85mm f/1.4 lens, and it really brings the camera to life! I mean, you really don’t need a flash with that lens. In addition the camera looks much better with the prime lens than the clunker f/2.8 zoom.
24mpx in 5fps! its fitting to describe it as “OOOH”
2:16 ha navi AVATAR
That camera is the same size as his head
i guessing the OOOO are the frames
sony users with this camera, yay or nay? should i wait for the a950?
@puttnam1 LMAO

Hallo Gordon. Which one would you rather have, the Sony a900 or the Sony a850. And how do they go with the Minolta lenses. Great reviews, big fan
