Sony Camera will drive you to speechlessness

[jreyes19]

I am certainly not a pro in any sense of the word lol
but when I saw the specs on this camera along with the AF speed
i was impressed, as for glass i believe has their own line of lenses along with being compatable with aftermarket ones
as for all the nitty gritty details that requier an knowledgeable person ..... IDK lol

but the camera looks to be a huge contendor for the under $1000 category of dslr cameras (A65)
I have been looking at the A77 videos from people using them in Japan and have only been even more impressed
by the capabilities of this camera

To answer your questions...

Mo pixels mo problems...

Memory card sales will skyrocket..Sony is known for having proprietary equipment.

Sony = Minolta when it comes to glass so no issues there.

quick question

I know that higher resolution = larger file sizes
but what file size per picture would i be looking at if i bought this camera?

I see what your saying about possibly using high res cameras to help suppliment the possible fall in sony's memory card sales lol

Casey, any insight into my question about packing all of those pixels on the sensor? What will that mean for noise?

12 to 14 Mb files sizes in Raw format on 24mp. 5-7Mb files sizes in .jpeg on 24 mp.

I know several 5dMk2 owners who typically manage their in camera settings down to 12 ish MP for that reason and the loss of IQ that comes with stuffing that many pixels.


If you are shooting billboards and poster sized photos day in and day out, it makes perfect sense. If you are uploading 600x800 files to the internet there is a huge loss of data in compression.

Damn. Big files. Sony is going to sell a lot of cards. And I am guessing they will be Sony cards.

This should be moved to Casey's Corner so other photogs can chime in. The last thing I want to do is give a bad impression of this piece of equipment having never held it.

sorry if i put it in the wrong section

My D3100 shoots outrageous sizes like 4000x(insert 4:3 number here).

Whoever falls into the MP game is in it for the wrong reasons IMO

No worries.

It wasn't in wrong section....it's just in a section now, that will get better feedback.
