[TheTraceurBoy]

What lens?

[wanaeat]

The autofocus is a bit hard, try to make the same sample with manuel focus.

[Morgan777Hot]

Good speed USM =)

[nixoc]

Hey, ich bin begeistert von dem schnellen Autofokus bei dir.

Ich habe die A55 auch, beim Filmen dauert das fokusieren allerdings ziemlich lange(im Gegensatz zu den von dir gezeigten Videos). Liegt das an dem Motor meines Objektives? Beim normalen Fotografieren geht das aber auch so schnell wie bei dir... Ich habe das 18-200 3.5-6.3 von Sony.

Und benutzt du ein externes Mikrofon? (Ich höre den AF nicht

[boristrap]

@nixoc

Ich habe auch das 18-200 Objektiv und es liegt am Motor.

Und die Objektive die er benutzt hat haben USM Motore die hört man praktisch nicht.

[PAC0TAC0]

i want more!!!!

[Shadowkirby007]

canon7d is better for filming...

[euyoooo]

how many frames per second ?!! I can see there are stops in the video !!!

[islandtime4]

Hey does the audio in this video also come straight from the camera?

[theinstinktives]

Hey ich ahbe mir die Kamera gekauft und hab jetzt bemerkt dass ich im Videomodus lediglich die Belichtung manuell einstellen kann! Gibt es irgendwelche Tricks dass ich bei der Videoaufnahme auch Schäfentiefe und veiel andere Einstellungen nutzen kann? Sonst hab ich ein problem :D ansonsten habe ich dir Kamera und bin begeistert davon :)

[metalheadFTW123]

An advice: Want a cheap good 1080i Cam? Try the Samsung HMX T10 its just as good quality as this imo..

[macleb86]

well, nice video but according to the accurate focus u definitely cannot call it amateur accept if the focusing was made buy the camera it self...

[aan1swimmer]

Those car looks like in the video game... Cool

[guigow2004]

It will be awesome if you put an annotation with lenses used in each scene.. Thanks for the video, really impressive.

[Peacefulhumanbeing]

Did you enhance the video in any way or this is as raw as it is thanks to the lenses you used? I am so considering this Camera (Especially for video!) so I need more info. Thanks...

[JonathanVlog]

amazing quality!

[vojtadvojda]

Hi, I´d like to know, how long you can record video with included battery? 15 minutes or more? thanks

[mannycadena]

@vojtadvojda Ive got one, the only draw back is that the video only shoots for about 6 minutes before it overheats. other than that, its awesome.

[thehappyidiots]

Auf meinem Kanal hab ich einen Sketch mit dieser Kamera gedreht.

Mit einem SAL18200 Objektiv.

[Klingl3r]

Die Kamera ist geil.

[RienVesseur]

Einwandfrei! Muss ich haben. Ein dritter Job muss her!

[DeeTeeTV]

how is the sound quality, did this have a mic on it?

[sangolt88]

This is my cellphone in 5 years hehe.

Does it shoot in 1080p BTW? And at what framerate?

[BoxxyFan]

@sangolt88 That's gonna be a big fucking cellphone.

[guigbi]

@sangolt88 yeah , shots on 1080p, and 10 frames per second.

[Jokker88]

@sangolt88 sadly unless cellphones start using aps-c or fullframe sensors which necessitates large lenses then no, they will never achieve this type of footage with shallow depth of field.

[SmellsLikeUpDawgg]

@sangolt88 Yes. 1080p @ 60i

[94sky94]

@sangolt88 of course it shoots. 60 fps.

[TurkishHegemony]

@sangolt88

dumb comment, do u even know anything about photography? even 20 year old DSLR cameras destroy your shitty phone

[Sandalistan]

nice vid, autofocus is really quick, for motorsport its all right, but what if i want to take it a little bit slower, as in the movies, is there any manual control of this thing?... . and what can you set up in camera for video shooting?...or does it run all in auto mode?

[christianplive]

die alpha55 ist eine revolutionäre kamera mit seinem teildurchlässigen spiegel. eine slt kamera- keine chance für canon

[peter1080p]

Wery nice, what is difrent between Canon 7D and Sony 55 Video Sensor in qestion to read data of sensor 1080 p or i 60fps or 30 fps ? (dont care about postprocessing just direct upload to Youtbe or Vimeo, and You know if Sony 55 have manual setting on video like Canon 7D ? Thanks Peter

[raimokr]

is the sound from the video recorded with the internal microphones of the alpha or was it a external mic?

[sonyalphaclip]

@raimokr was internal mircofon

[BooooooooYaah]

Hat dein Objektiv ein Ultraschallmotor? Mich würde intressieren ob man den AF hört, wenn man keinen HSM besitzt. Möchte mir die Kamera auch kaufen. Möchte aber ein 18-200mm Objektiv ohne Bildstabilisator (da schon im Body enthalten) und HSM. Jetzt ist nur die Frage ob man den Autofokus im Video selber hört.

Gruß BooYaah

[sonyalphaclip]

@BooooooooYaah - also wäre mir nicht aufgefallen, das der Motor zu hören wäre - doch im Motorsport ist es halt auch ned gerade leise.

[roflastc]

@BooooooooYaah

Bad nen A55 mit kitlens. Wann sie ein aussen microfoon beobacht dan ist auch die kitlens sehr leise. Ein stativ und die SSS nicht benutzen macht die cam auch sehr leise mit die body micro

[crazybiscut]

wow....

[ozzivideos]

hi ich bräuchte mal fachmännische hilfe

ich will mir eine slr zu legen und muss mich zwischen der canon 550d und der sony a 55. welche kamera kann besser filmen und hat die sony alpha 55 auch einen manuellen focus ?

danke

[bogeyatyour6]

@ozzivideos :

Die A55 hat zwar bis zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt keine volle manuelle Steuerung der Blende & Verschluss während des Filmens, aber manuellen Fokus auf jeden Fall.

Alles andere soll später mit einen FW Update kommen.

Bedenkt, die A55 gibt es erst in 1 Monat zu kaufen!

[KatherineHeigl007]

Natürlich im Bereich der Scharfstellung während eines Videos, keine Frage, da kommt keine Canon DSLR ran, das ist mir schon bewusst, aber ich meinte auch von den Farben bzw. der Schärfe, wobei dieses Video ja noch gar nicht in Full HD aufgezeichnet wurde..

[KatherineHeigl007]

Ja der Fokus ist in einigen Bereichen zu schnell, frage mich ob es da eine Option gibt die Geschwindigkeit einzustellen. Tja von da Bildqualität sehe ich kaum Unterschiede zur Canon 550d, also für den Preis geht es in Ordnung, wie gesagt Fokus zu schnell.

[sonyalphaclip]

@KatherineHeigl007

kein Video was ich jemals von der CANON 550D gesehen hab kommt annähernd an die Autofokusgeschwindigkeit der Alpha A55 heran. Der Fokus kommt geswegen so hart - weil die Entfernungsunterschiede auch enorm sind. Im letzten Teil des Videos sieht man wie gut der Autofokus wirklich nachbessert . Die Felge bleibt immer scharf.

[mYOzZyKaT]

@sonyalphaclip Der Canon 550D hast nur contrast basiert Autofocus in video mode und das funktioniert nicht gut. Im sorry my german spelling is a bit rusty.

The 550D has either contrast based or manual autofocus and contrast based autofocus is slow and pointless.

You had a f/2,8 lens with you, but could you manually control that? And what f-stop is the footage taken with?

[FoVITIS]

Etwas verwackelt.

Und der schnelle Fokuswechsel wirkt etwas hart. Nachteil des schnellen AF.

[sonyalphaclip]

@FoVITIS

na ist ja auch klar bei einer Brennweite von 300mm ;-)

und wem der Autofokus zu schnell ist - der kann wie bei der CANON

gerne auch am Objektiv drehen :-))

[FoVITIS]

@sonyalphaclip Ist ja nicht der Sinn eines AF einen MF zu nutzen. Und bei Canon ist es auch bei 400mm weniger Verwackelt :p

[sonyalphaclip]

@FoVITIS der Unterscheid ist nur :

Du hast bei der SONY nen Autofokus bei der CANON nicht.

Und warum sollt ich bei der SONY den manuellen nicht nützen ?

Was spricht dagegen ?

Und mit deiner 400mm These - da lach nur recht herzlich - zeig doch

mal wie das machst - darfst gern ein Einbeinstativ verwenden.

Reine GESCHWÄTZ was du da verbreitest - Sorry !!!

[FoVITIS]

@sonyalphaclip AF? Du hast doch ebend noch geschrieben "am Objektiv drehen" da greift der AF nicht! Und für MF kann man auch Canon, Pentax oder Nikon nehmen. Was dagegen spricht ist, wenn jemand AF will dann nicht MF ;) Und mit 400mm Bruttobrennweite könnte ich zeigen aber hier kann man nichts verlinken sorry.

[ulfmusskacken]

@sonyalphaclip ich schließe mich deiner meinung an ;)

[Sandalistan]

nice vid, autofocus is really quick, for motorsport its all right, but what if i want to take it a little bit slower, as in the movies, is there any manual control of this thing?... . and what can you set up in camera for video shooting?...or does it run all in auto mode?

[mYOzZyKaT]

@FoVITIS Since when have a fast auto function been a problem?...ok if blurry out of focus shots gets you off then by all means go ahead... but to everyone thats really not something to look for in a camera.

Maybe Hollywood will make such a film one day. Two hours of shaky out of focus action....

[ulfmusskacken]

@FoVITIS dafür gibts ja MF ;)

[sonyalphaclip]

Clips didn´t be modified. Video made and uploaded with iMovie (max resoultion)

[mYOzZyKaT]

compared to all the other pre-retail release video clips from a55 out here on Youtube this is bright. Either you need a ton of light to make it look good because of the loss of light with the translucent mirror or the clip have reeally had a spanking in Lightroom or Aftereffect to make it look like this.

Other clips look somewhat dark but not dark in the good way.

I was so itching to get one and dump the camcorder, but now im a bit unsure.

[moijk]

@mYOzZyKaT You loose half a stop by the mirror, which is the difference from 2.8 to 3.5 instead of 4. hardly worth loosing sleep over.

The small dof made the cars look like toys, though. Strange to see.

[mYOzZyKaT]

@moijk Where do you have that data from? According to Sony its a 70-30 split through the mirror. And 30% of the light is way more half a stop as you say. If its just half a stop that great, but I really like to see that confirmed and tested.

DOF is down to the lens not the camera, but your right the HD "SLR"-type cameras make thing looks almost unreal.

[moijk]

@mYOzZyKaT luminous landscape say 0.3 of a stop. My example was 0.5. So in real use it is not noticeable. One stop less would be half the light. So loosing 30% means 0.3 of a stop.

[mYOzZyKaT]

@moijk yeah I know its 0.3 stops. But as far as I know the f-stops are not set in half or even 0.3 increments. Thats was my point. Loosing 30% of the light effectively means you loose one f-stop and halving the light.

I have just realized something. When using the phase detection autofocus which I assume most will do and is defaulted when shooting video or at 10 fps the aperture is banged wide open at its maximum. There were talk of some manual options at the upcoming Photokina though.

[bogeyatyour6]

@mYOzZyKaT

There aren´t 30% light loss.

It is something about 5%.

[mYOzZyKaT]

@bogeyatyour6 ok.. where did you get that info from? The 30% comes from the Sony engineers that built the thing. If it was 5% they would have said so.

And if its only 5% then I would guess the autofocus would have a real hard time focusing at 10 fps.

[bogeyatyour6]

@mYOzZyKaT

From the engineers itself. ;)

(A friend of mine spoke with them a few days ago)

The "30%" are "countermeasures" for Canon & Nikon, so they underestimate the new Alphas. (It is a number between 5-10% because the Mirror is reflects only in a few points the light, not the whole surface (just the AF points)

I tested the A55 in a very dimmed room and it focused as accurately and fast (maybe even faster?) than my Alpha 700.

Greets

[mYOzZyKaT]

@bogeyatyour6 LOL... it photography not espionage...*shake of the head*..

and your story right, think about it, how long do you actually believe it will take Canon or Nikon to measure exactly how much light that reaches the censor? Just about five minutes after you can buy one in Japan they'll know...and they probably already do. Remember Canon already have had an translucent mirror years ago. I bet you they are building a prototype as we speak.

[bogeyatyour6]

@mYOzZyKaT

You speak about infringing a patent my friend ;)

And that "%" was said to the press, because there weren´t any infos* till then, how much light does the mirror "swallow" ;)

And no, not only Canon had Pellix-Mirrors. (Ask Olympus).

And the Cam isn´t officially released.

I had the cam in my hands before LL/DPreview released their previews (I had the cam probably before they get them).

The Pellix-Mirror concept from canon is not tha same as Sony´s.

And yes, I remember ;)

Greets.

[bogeyatyour6]

* = For press & PR People...

I think, the engineers knew better ;)

[mYOzZyKaT]

@bogeyatyour6 LOL..well are you the 22 year old god son of Mr. Sony?..LOL.. no really.. your story do not even make sense so stop making stuff up. I never said Canon was the only one with translucent mirror back then. I said Canon had one. You are unbelievable.

And the pellicle mirror is completely the same and Sony is just using a digital viewfinder to minimize the light lost at the censor and still being able to see the object clearly. Go away you are a troll...

[bogeyatyour6]

@mYOzZyKaT

No, I´m not.

(Even if that sounds very appealing) :D

I had the cam first at the IFA in Berlin and then at the Alpha-Festival in Berlin almost a week later.

Why would I lie? I´m not a troll, I just had great luck of testing it and playing with it.

I have to say, I didn´t have enough SD-Cards to think about making videoclips with the cam, but I made some pics and I liked what I saw.

The cam is really small, it isn´t maybe suitable for all people.

But most of them will be delighted

[mYOzZyKaT]

@bogeyatyour6 And you do know that the Sony a33 is sold many places with exactly the same mirror, autofocus and viewfinder as the a55 right....you do know that... the a55 is coming on sale according to Sony in October.

[bogeyatyour6]

@mYOzZyKaT

Yes. I know that.

Yes, it will be officially released to the public in october.

That´s all right, I don´t say anything against it.

[moijk]

@mYOzZyKaT What? The f-stops have been set in half increments since probably around the 80s. So don't worry there.

When shooting video you either are limited at f3.5 or what is closest, if you want other aperatures, you'll be doing manual. I would think they would allow a wider choice later on (like down to f5.6 at least). At f8 the only phase detection lens that works was the 500mm f8 mirror lens.

At 10 fps, you can use whatever aperature you want.

[bogeyatyour6]

@mYOzZyKaT

One question mYOzZyKat.

Do you work for Canon?

Why do YOU troll? I´m not trolling, I´m telling my experience, as I really had the A55 for a while.

But I don´t want to make foes in youtube, I don´t need them.

I hope, you understand my point of view.

[mYOzZyKaT]

@bogeyatyour6 No unfortunately I do not work for Canon nor Sony. But I really would like to. I question your story and your facts because they are as far as Im concerned not part of reality and hold no truth what so ever. When engineers from Sony at an official Sony sponsored press meet and shoot event tells journalist among them Michael Reichmann from Luminous Landscape thats the light loss is 30% that pretty much settles it. Your story about Sony wanting to trick Canon is utter nonsense.

[Flubbman]

Nice sample!!! Would you tell us what lenses you used? Looks like a 70-200 G SSM ;-)

[sonyalphaclip]

@Flubbman

use 24-70 and 70-200 both original SONY LENSES

[luke11986]

Hammer!!!
