Jan 9, 2009 - oooh.......continuous shooting. "if you by chance capture the perfect moment, unfortunately it is lost forever" ouch. great review with a good balance of humor.sony still has the advantage of it's advanced in camera editing and built in camera stabilization. in other respects, it seems to be slightly competitively behind canon and nikon. i think sony needs to have a new creative team on board for their next generation of dslrs.

Jan 9, 2009 - Amazing review gordon!I always look forward to see what new reviews you've made :)Just a suggestion, could you make a video explaining What "X elements in X groups means?Also, in lens reviews, could you quote the number of elements in the lens? Thanks for the great reviews, looking forward to more!

cameralabs Says:

Jan 9, 2009 - Thanks poopoip! I always mention the numbers of elements and groups in the lens reviews at cameralabs . com that accompany the videos you see here. As for an explanation, the number of elements simply means the number of actual optical pieces in the lens. Some of these are 'stuck' or work together in what's known as a group.

Jan 9, 2009 - Gordon give the most comprehensive review in youtube.

cameralabs Says:

Jan 9, 2009 - A medium format camera is one with a sensor (or that uses film) that's bigger than 36x24mm, also known as the 'full-frame' 35mm format. The best-known brand is Hasselblad. They're generally very high resolution, but expensive and targeted at pros.

cameralabs Says:

Jan 9, 2009 - They're generally quite slow in operation, so sports or action photography is normally out - but everything else is fine - such as landscapes, portraits. Check out hasselblad and mamiya's websites.

cameralabs Says:

Jan 9, 2009 - Hi, I really like all of your videos and also your site. I'm planning on buying the Sony Alpha A300, to get started a little bit. Ah one last thing: What video camera are you using?

cameralabs Says:

Jan 9, 2009 - Thanks! I use a Sony DCR-HC96 to film these videos. Feel free to ask about the A300 in the Sony section on the cameralabs forums if you have any Qs...

Jan 9, 2009 - Hey,In response to your post upon the video "Sony Alpha DSLR A900 review".If your looking for a good, Cheap DSLR to get started with, I would vouch on you getting the A200.I've recently started Photography myself and the A200 is actually better than the A300.The only difference between the both is that the A300 has a pop out screen.Just thought i'd tell you so that you can save a bit of money =]All the best.

TimMiddleton Says:

Jan 9, 2009 - Good evening Gordon.I believe that the A900 also allows users to change the focusing screen themselves. In practice, is this as simple a procedure as Sony would have us believe? I would be particularly interested in using a type L screen to end those wonky architecture blues ...
