The technical details, I will not comment here. Since there Berufenere!
These are just to confirm my reasoning!
At first it was supposed to be the Nikon 7000. Of that I am, however, for various reasons, strayed and the decision was made in favor of the Sony SLT-A57M.
On the one hand there was the excellent speed in continuous shooting mode. Almost too fast! The ergonomics, the logic which I personally understand more easily than the logic of Nikon, the video performance, the Live View. The price was secondary in this case, however, a pleasing background noise!
Only so much .... this set plays, in my view, already in an upscale League. The autofocus is fast, quiet, fail. The pictures are better than my previous photocopies. The sharpness of detail, depth gradation and the bokeh is worth seeing! Enlargements bring it to light. Here is a high quality camera.
The continuous shooting speed I had to put on low. The camera hammering otherwise drauflos as if there was no tomorrow.
Image noise is the set lens slightly higher and starts earlier than I was used to in difficult lighting conditions by my Nikon it.
However, there are a number of Helpers with whom you can help yourself. To make sure that will have access to a high-quality and thus expensive lens.
That was clear to me from the start!
Really annoying, I feel just the battery. At Nikon, there are an average of 850-1000 images on a single charge and you have to worry that the juice runs out. The Sony battery, with
Conclusion: A very great SLR! Exactly what I wanted. Friends in the circle, even photographers and correspondingly sophisticated, notice the very good image quality and the very fine and nuanced Detailauspregung. This also makes a little proud!
Bottom line: A very strong buy recommendation!
Addendum dated 1.12.2012
A night walk in Perchtoldsdorf and then back to Vienna. Of course the camera with him and photographed a night sky over Vienna. Almost perfect!
Rarely so good photographs shot during the night! Bin of the Sony increasingly done and of the sports photography, the actual purpose of purchase, I'm totally torn away anyway!
Even that you can see at night and with the el. Viewfinder something I find excellent. That's when you look through the viewfinder of an SLR not as the bearer. With Sony "top"!
Downer: The menu settings are not found on the thumb wheel at night. I have a couple of settings stored on the SCR I would have gladly used. Without flashlight you will find nothing. Sometime I have the display expanded and OOPS .... because everything is on it you need to adjust. Nevertheless, the adjustment can not be seen. That could mean Fuji HS20EXR better. White symbols on black are holding still more visible than gray, green, dark silver on black.
The advice of some photo shops and talks with photographers but gehalen what I have promised by Sony.
GNTB. Sony is probably the measure of all things ....
Ps:
I got some response to my posting. For SAL 18-135 of Sony I can not fault. It just zoom disadvantages and lack the intensity, but even these disadvantages one takes gladly accept and against my previous experience with zoom lenses, extremely, low! However, I suspect that with a stronger light lens with lower ISO number noise performance is better.
It was a SAL50 / 1.8 procured and ordered a SAL35 / 1.8. Of this I expect a lot! Mir is not clear whether I'm going to take 35 or 50mm.
Important for all the HDR want to take pictures and want to experiment a bit with it.
This is not with the Sony Alpha 57 namely. The measly 3 images with maximum 0,7Blendenstufen difference are not suitable at all to make "real" HDR photos. At best, you can order an image feed up a little. Not more! There were at least 5 photos with each one stop needed to make HDR appropriate photos!
This is the first real shortcoming of the Sony Alpha 57 that I discovered and it hurts just a little .... because something can cameras around 150 euros.
