Tested this baby today. Lovely camera. Feels damn solid. Paired with CZ 24-70 f2.8. The fastest burst mode among the many FF sub 10k FF recently launched.

I am just not used to the EVF. Button placement feels good. Hate the click on the mode dials, feels cheap despite the overall great build.

I find the flip LCD very nice, and this is the only FF body among brands with variable angle LCD.

Overall I think Sony users would definitely consider getting this. smile.gif not sure if this one replaces the A850, which I think is another great body from Sony.

hor hor, perli a99 only replacement for a850-down it standard, everyone well know this a99 is for a900 replacement tongue.gif


Added on October 6, 2012, 9:27 pmwether it is good or not, not care. aim for the next cycle FF replacement, then grab the one almost obsolete with great discount price tongue.gif having say that, the 1st cycle FF with FHD video mode smile.gif

Help! I'm a total beginner in photography and I'm planning on to buy my first camera, I've done quite a lot of research and I've narrow my selection to these three but I can choose the final camera I want!

Nikon d5100
Sony nex 5n
Sony a57

Which one do you think is better? I'm going to college next year so im going to bring it to college a lot, will the a57 be inconvenient to carry around?  rolleyes.gif

Btw what's the difference between a dslr and dslt?
hmm.gif

Help me make my choice  ohmy.gif
*
1st you say you did researched but i saw your list, i am surprise that actually you are still duno what you want. that bcos you put in nex5n and 2 dslr/slt, that is different segment

anyway that is fine, i assume that under these 3 camera you have no budget issue;

I just say EVERY camera can shoot picture, regeardless panasonic, canon, nikon, olympus, fuji. and shoot very NICE picture. So how you know WHAT camera you want.

let put down these 3 camera capabilities. go thru on it, ask yourself which feature your most prefer in d5100, a57, 5n, summarize it, see which model got the most features you want. And among those feature/model, which feature you are DIE for IT. then pick the camera.

For your state, I no need to bring to deeper consider such build in motor stuff, subsequences of body no SSS, etc. If put in those detail, you will even more confuse and will ended up more issue later.

Some key highlight differences among:

D5100 - lot of used item on market, i not use d5100, therefore, pls check in specification of d5100 below
A57 - Body with SSS, EVF, Live View snap photo SUPER fast (look at screen and snap photo), FHD 60p video recording with PDAF & tracking object, HDR, Panorama shoot, lot of creative filters, etc
5N - no EVF (snap photo by look into screen), FHD video recording but in CDAF (slower focus), small and light,

you must remeber, you go to nikon thread ask such question, nikonian will tell you buy D5100. at here, Iwont ask you buy sony, but go pick the ONE you mostly like in term of the camera feature you WANT.

a guy who owns a 18250, u think he will use manual iso? tongue.gif usually are lazy user that uses auto most of the time  sweat.gif

Jimlim;
its call TTL support. and no it wont work, u think as easy as put nikon trigger on canon ttl will work?, answer is still NO, another thing to take note is that the circuit on the nikon hotshoe and canon hotshoe are totally different, what more to say Sony's circuit? and when u trigger more then 1 flash, the TTL signal will send to all flash to fire the "same power", hence the amount of directional light will be very unbalance anyway.

even u open up that adapter (shown on ur pic) u will only see 2 cable connection to snyc port and to both hotshoe, and that cable is just signal "fire" (close circuit in enginnering term) only.
A57... no regret. there is a lot new feature over the old A65.

i tested both....


Added on October 22, 2012, 5:37 pmi owned like over 15 unit of that adapter and 5 of the reverse... all for my flash workshop uses. most are modified for diff uses. now mostly use triggers (phottix statos II)... easier to control and 'stronger' mounts grip.

hmm, then this adapter purely for remote use. alright thank for clear my doubt thumbup.gif

thanks guys... flash was diffused with a DIY macro flash diffuser

oh ya jimlim, just thought of this, what's your thought on the A99? You don't seem so hyped about it this time around. Any plans on getting one yourself?

scare me, suddenly mentioned me tongue.gif

FF are always good thumbup.gif I am almost chapter11 like the current gov laugh.gif and will not afford to to get the a99. 2nd reason not to get a FF because my skill is not there yet, will wasted the a99 capabilities.

i only used SP90 before so i only can comment on this and cant compare to other macro lens

SP90 is really a bang for bucks macro lens, very sharp. there will always be something better than wat u hav, so i wont say is the sharpest macro lens out there, but is still sharp  rclxm9.gif

thing i dont like bout it is the push-pull AF to MF, tend to accidently pulled it everytime i take out the lens from bag n it feels like it can break anytime

bottom line no regret getting it

maybe u can consult our macro sifu here, use sp90 + tube *ehem ehem* u know who u r  laugh.gif

how to get this lens reach infiniti? i follow on youtube, but pull to mf still cannot reach infiniti...
