Pros:
|
Camera has a solid build but pretty light weight. Very good focus accuracy, wide dynamic range, images have very good color. In-body image stabilization works with all lenses. EVF with the ability to program what ever information you wish to view. The articulated rear LCD is great for both stills and video. Dual SD card slots. Built in GPS. Output uncompressed HD video to external recorder. Continuous AF when shooting video or photos at 6 fps. Magnified live view for manual focus.

Cons:

Not enough memory buffer when shooting in high speed. Can take some time to navigate threw the menus. Cost is a bit high compare to the competition. Uses SD cards.

There are many items I love about the Sony A99, I use this camera all the time for both personal and work. Pair it with the right lenses and you can create images that will make any client happy. In camera stabilization, great dynamic range, a good full time focusing system for both video or stills and selectable camera information that you want displayed in the viewfinder adds up to a powerful tool. Sony make some very innovated features for their cameras most way before of the other manufactures. The other Sony advantage is Zeiss lenses though you can get Zeiss optics for Nikon or Canon with Sony you keep autofocusing. The Sony G lenses are no slouch either. The negatives, I wish the camera had a user customized menu layout so I could have a main menu that would display what is most important to me. A larger image buffer so I could shoot a longer burst of photos. Finally more lens selection though if your not a lens hog they have a lens to fit in most categories. Japanese innovation with German design optics make for a great camera system. If you would like to see some images made with the A99
