Sony A99 - First Impressions

[Photo-John]

I just posted a first impressions / review article on the A99, based on the 4 days I got to spend with it last week.

I feel like I need to use it a bit more to really make a complete review. On the other hand, Sony planned a very good event for us with lots of variety so I have a lot of great sample photos. If you've got questions, please post them in the comments section at the end of the article so our discussion will add to the article and make it as better resource

The quick synopsis - I loved it and Sony is kicking ass right now!

John you done a bang up job I am excited.

Thanks and good

Don't worry about the EVF, Greg. I love it. It wasn't even an issue when I was shooting bursts of the cars in action. In fact, I only just now realized I never experienced any viewfinder blackout with the A99. The EVF has full arrived.

Now I just need to get an A99 for studio testing. There are a couple of other things I'd like to test. But for the most part, I feel like that was a pretty damn complete "first impressions" article. Sony really did a great job of giving us everything we needed for comprehensive testing.

Thanks again John. I appreciate your open mind. If you have a favorite system you don't show it an your candor and unbiased reviews make it easier on us all.
