Am now around 3 months the A99 road and completely thrilled. The camera's just fun! Have previously photographed with a Canon EOS-50D, whose body and handling I already felt as perfect. The A99 housing is better in the hand and is just as easy, despite full frame. The change from the EOS 50D to the Sony A99 is a real quantum leap in every respect. Handling, equipment and image quality ... just awesome! The electronic viewfinder ... do not want to miss him. Especially in the dark and in strong backlight situations of enormous advantage. The folding screen in the camera class still unique ... one wonders why! Use it in so many situations and saved me already some contortions and stunts! Actually, everything was very well defined already in previous reviews and I just refer to these. Why write anything again. Where's criticisms to be set? Nothing is perfect ... even with the A99 not! The viewfinder shows the image slightly more saturated than in real life. Additional batteries are an absolute must and with Touchscreen Camera would be 100% sure. The pressure points of the control element are first used to, as not really available. The price of the body is in free fall down and so with barely an issue over the competition!
Personal conclusion:
Those like me who dare to change the system and not brand relation, should look at the A99 times closer. Can I highly recommend.
