You do aware that the camera has to be hold in the air in order to rotate the lcd screen right?


And what is the orange77 anyway? AFAIK, Sony only has Alpha77

its a nice machine sound, is most quite so far in sony dslr. but in the closer the view for the lcd is true when after extended upper in 180degree facing to front, its expose a downpoint of the lcd, the only way to view from front will block by the pop up internal flash or the hot shoe accessory weird sony did not incorporate their patent in camcorder into it. dont think there will be final changes on the lcd; look like i have hurt someone 'baby' reputation, my bad have to shut my mouth then

take a moment to think about it.. main audience for the front facing lcd would be for youngsters who camwhore and having a flashgun on camera will be very heavy for that purpose, what more that flashing at that distance will sometimes cause flash over exposure. So what if it blocks partial of the screen when pop up flash is used? Yes it is not ideal, but its still very viewable from the camwhorer's POV. Pros using the a77 will be BEHIND the camera. Not in front of it.
So i beg you not to be so sensitive on this issue and be a 'baby' yourself when you get opposing idea from your own from members here. You came here and gave your idea, we're here to give ours, that's all. Why are you so worked up on it?

lwiliam, i think the rotating lcd would be good as a "quick show" of the shot taken to the person-being-photographed/model/etc

Porkchop, I'd rather turn the entire camera to show instead. Less moving parts, less chance of breaking. But well, that could work.

Haha..this is just one of the options that I edited.. i tried 2-3 different edit version.. but my gf like this version the best. Personally I like another version with black n white version.. as there is many details & shadows visible in this photo



Hahaha.. is quite hard to get a natural pose when we r shooting on tripod on timer.. but it was a fun taking... at least my gf likes it.. (good thing. so she wont complaint if i bring too much gears during vacation ) hahaha

The color approach... hard to explain.. edited in both adobe raw & the photoshop..simply experiment. I give it a warm color balance.. Reduce the saturation.. Give the shadow a bit of Blue tint (which i like to do recently), save to jpeg.. edit in photoshop... Reduce contrast & saturation again.... duplicate layer and ... Softlight to layer below. Mask away shadows which is too dark to bring out more details. finally thin sharpen and final sharpen with High pass method.

Wah. Do you do that to all the other photos that you have taken as well?

No lah!~ will be crazy.. beside that kind of effect, if do it to all the photos will look really dull and sien. I still appreciate original photos coming straight from the camera sensor

so sad cannot aboard buy bulk ship, the shop is too far for me continue wait until nov

Agree with william.

Unlikely for me to turn the LCD facing me and use it to camwhore anyways XD

Unlikely question, beside the signal bar for Steadyshot, if there is an icon blinking, what does that supposed to mean? Getting really not used to OVF liao, bad sign for wallet.

death 2nd time, killing spree

ohh forgot that now its has the AF tracking to the object being shoot, in future to create lovely slomotion clip, should less to watch on the lcd screen already as to ensure the object in focus especially shoot in alone. AF shall work in this case , hopefully

the lcd arguement is the silliest arguement ever in alpha thread... since the A55 ppl been giving funny excuse lame comment.... (wasnt it same with D5000? but ppl praise it like god)

i only have one comment... how geng this that the lcd is... if your LV is Slow, IT IS SLOW. can bend here and there also no use, u just missed the moment.... sorry ah, sony dont have that issue.

Fixed

Even back in my a300, the live view is fast and so lovely
