[QUOTE="gqtuazon, post: 341563, member: 6573"] I appreciate your feedback especially with your extensive background with Sony / Minolta. What is SSS? If the A99 lacked the image stabilization, the same can be said with the Nikon bodies. However, I do understand that it was the better AF that even made you switch to Nikon. One of my fellow "gear head" but is a much more and better photographer with twice as much Nikon equipment that I have plus several Sony NEX, Fuji, Panasonic GH3 and all of the great Zeiss and Pana fast zooms and primes, asked me to try the "other" systems, which I did but didn't quite warm-up with them. He does a lot of videos, so he preached on how much better his GH3 and NEX-5n when it comes to video compared to his D800E. One particular feature is the "focus peak". Everything is doable if you dedicate a tripod for it. I've seen his work especially with Zeiss primes which is why I really wanted to get one. Being uncomfortable with the handling, lack of experience with the Sony system menu and mediocre AF system, made my decision to "skip" it. Again, this was just my expression and I am glad that you have similar experience with my impression since I was not trying to put down Sony. [/QUOTE]
