Dear friends,
i just came across the hands-on review of SLT A-99 ii by Dan Watson, only to be informed that the much anticipated SLT A-99 ii, the camera that many thought that would be the hybrid to come and blow all other cameras out of the water, is simply shot in the foot by Sony itself, by getting an aperture stuck at f/3.5 for video modes with AF!!! You have to take AF off to be able to change aperture!
The camera seems to be quite good (as any camera that "respects" itself should be these days) but, if this is reality for good and not another Sony early firmware glitch, we're facing one of the biggest "fiascos", that has ever been served to videographers during the last years.
Here is the link to the video:

Now, let me see some of our beloved Canon co-users, talking about 1.74 crop factor, MJPEG and CFast card absence...
Wishing all the best for you, your families and all the ones you love,from warm, starry Athens.
Yours
Yiannis A.
