Photo Shoot with the Sony Alpha A850 Still Camera

[key00992233]

Canon 5D. My opinion...

[igogosh]

Thanks for your time to review this machine. Carl Zeiss is pronounced with a "ts" instead of z as most Americans try to read it, it's a German word

[OlliTheAwesomeone]

What a massive Sound! :o

this is way too expensive.. but overall, this machine is great.

I just spend $1500 on the new canon T2i but disappointed with its graininess and unsharp edges , but i dont know if thats the cheap lens that came with the camera or not..

this Sony, however gives me something to look at

id like to see some close up of some shots from this camera,

[Sunshockey14]

@frank0067 wow 1500 i got it for 800

[sheldonalleyne]

@frank0067 The kit lens is terrible. You will see a HUGE change with good glass. The T2i is a great little Camera.

[oopy111]

@frank0067 It's your lens. the kit lens will never give you the quality your camera is capable of. Instead of looking for a new camera, buy a canon L lens.

My dad is a pro. photographer as well,and he saw this video and he was amazed with this camera especially Sony is just new to the photography world.he's not convince on your lighting effect on your studio especially on the portrait of the lady

This camera was my Christmas present... and a few lenses... I have never used a DSLR (or even an SLR) so I have a lot to learn. (Kinda like giving a brand new driver a sports car if you ask me!) Please let me know of a good basic course so I can learn my new camera. I'm doing okay but I'm VERY novice and hacking my way through it.

love the review, but question: why keep the 'beginner beep' on? also, when you are shooting the model, is that the 135 f1.8? how big is that lens with the hood on?

My Future Camera :D

Great

thanx for the review

[loco039]

OMG this camera is amazing full frame more than 24 mp it has 10mp more tha my canon 50d APS-C and it costs $2000 US. I think sony on a few years from now it will be something else in the dslr industry.

[rossgumbrell]

[ellsworthra]

[mls15000]

Really enjoyed your review.

Even though the camera body has weather seals, and despite what he says, you can't "use it in the rain". Yes, the body should be OK if you're caught outdoors when the rain begins and it gets a few sprinkles on it. But if you were to actually take it outside and do a shoot in a downpour, you'll have a ruined camera, guaranteed. Plus, any lens you put on this thing isn't going to be nearly as weather sealed as the camera body itself, so it'll get destroyed even sooner.

Have shot with A900 and 24-70 in the rain numerous times before.  Both operate perfectly today.

[nemo295]

Then you've been very lucky, because the Zeiss 24-70 has no weather seals at all.

[nemo295]

This is from page 168 of the Sony 850 owner's manual: "This camera is designed to be dust and moisture-resistant but not to be waterproof and splash-proof. When using the camera in the rain, be careful not to get the camera and

lens wet."

To repeat: YOU CAN'T USE IT IN THE RAIN.

[dennisblogg]

Google dakar rally sony a900 and you'll be amazed.

[thebourgoiseslammer]

As with any non-weather-sealed electronics, the key is common sense. Taking your lens out in a light drizzle is fine, especially if you're careful about keeping it covered when not in use and you allow it to dry fully afterwards.

On the other hand, you'd be mad to try to use the 24-70 in a serious downpour or in conditions where it's likely to be splashed.

Use your head; if water is going to be pooling or running at joints where it can enter the lens you're asking for trouble.
