This is a great safety example, no satefy glasses, open toe shoes. Clothing material that looks flammable, And the old "I can do this with one hand tied behind my back"

Oh Hello Howard, Been nearly 2 years since I logged in and this site has changed. I am happy to see you are still plugging away with the wekly pictures. I would of hoped with the larger sales of Sony camera's that this would of gotten bigger, but alas it still looks small. As always nice work

<p>The HVL-F20M Flash is fine for the size of the a6000</p>

<p>This does it<br /> http://tools.science.si/index.php<br /> I tried it, and it seem pretty accurate, Sony, let alone Minolta never released shutter count software, and no one has ever come up with one till now. It was always the domain of the Canon and Nikon models only.<br>

Finally many Sony users can now do it, and it is basically still unknown to people this method and website.</p>

<p>Well it hit the mark with my Sony A99, around 4000 shots.<br>

Condition of the the gear is not an indication of use though. I have bought plenty of lenses that look new from KEH that are 20 plus years old.<br>

I would not worry, that camera is rated for like 350,000 shots before it is likely to be serviced. And maybe can go well over 600,000 shots before anything might likely happen.<br>

It's not going to affect the image quality, if something was going to fail it usually does it early on, since he shot 1000 images in the 5 years he had it, I think the electronic's will likely fail before the actual shutter does.</p>

<p>Yes</p>

<p>I had an A65, now A99. The A65 has the same sensor as the A77, so image quality wise you will see no difference. The A77 is bigger and more robust, which accounts for the increase in price. <br>

In reality the A77 has a few more bell and whistles, but I doubt you will miss any of them.</p>

<p>I never see the image stop moving on any of the camera's. <br>

Just expect the you will have 2 - 2.5 stops in hand. It's easy to review, just view the image then zoom in on the LCD to check sharpness.</p>

<p>The image is not showing. </p>

I think I got a new job today, which is good because I shall buy this right away, and hopefully not have to put it on the credit card :)</p>

<p>From the Sony Website<br>

The primary difference between the AVCHD format and the MP4 format is the file structure (aka container format) used to save the video codec and audio codec. Although both formats record the video codec as MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, the AVCHD-formatted video is saved using a .M2TS file extension and the MP4-formatted video uses a .MP4 file extension. In addition, the audio codec for AVCHD is Dolby® Digital AC-3, while the audio codec for MP4 is MPEG-4 AAC LC.<br />IMPORTANT: AVCHD is suitable for creating AVCHD or Blu-ray Disc® (BD) recordings and watching on an HDTV. Whereas, MP4 can be saved as a single movie file and is much easier to move, copy, and upload to websites.<br />Specifications for both formats are provided in the tables below.<br />AVCHD format:<br />Video codec MPEG-4 AVC/H.264<br />Audio codec Dolby Digital AC-3<br /><strong>Picture size/Scan mode (Aspect ratio) 1920x1080/60i, 50i (16:9)<br />1440x1080/60i, 50i (16:9</strong>)<br />Audio channels/Sampled frequency 2 channels/48 kHz<br />5.1 channels/48 kHz<br />Container format MPEG-2 System (.M2TS file extension)<br />Compatibility Compatible with the Blu-ray Disc® format<br />Compatible with several recording media devices, such as Hard Disk or Memory Stick® media<br />Compatible with xv.Color technology<br />MP4 format:<br />Video codec MPEG-4 AVC/H.264<br />Audio codec MPEG-4 AAC LC<br /><strong>Picture size/Scan mode (Aspect ratio) 1440x1080/30p (16:9)<br />1280x720/30p (16:9)<br />640x480/30p (4:3)</strong><br />Audio channels/Sampled frequency 2 channels/48 kHz.<br />Container format MPEG-4 System (.MP4 file extension)<br />Compatibility Compatible with the Apple® QuickTime® format<br />Compatible with various recording media and networks, including PlayStation® Network video<br />NOTES:<br />AVCHD is an acronym for Advanced Video Codec High Definition.<br />AVC is an acronym for Advanced Video Coding,<br />AAC is an acronym for Advanced Audio Coding.<br />LC is an acronym for Low Complexity.</p>

To each their own, the body is one thing but camera lenses will play a part, and either way if you want quality all brands

have quality lenses and you will have to pay for it. People will ramble on that canon and Nikon lenses are more readily

available and that might be the case, but when it comes down to quality optics for each focal range, all brands are

capable in their lenses.

<p>I do not think you can do this, I have tried on mine and not found a way.</p>

<p>Do a reset to factory defaults in the settings, if it was second hand maybe someone was playing around with settings. And did some colour shifts. Thus the reset will put all those settings back to default.<br /> Also I never worry about picture modes, You want to shoot landscapes, then put the camera lens around F11 and use low ISO.<br>

As for the second issue, does the car look red on the LCD on the camera, could it be your monitor? That said some camera's seem to do this, I cannot recall having the issue on my A700, will have to check.</p>

If you already had the A77, I would not bother, having the A99 I would though consider getting it as a backup camera, but

I don't have the money.

<p>It does help, as long as you are willing and able to hold the heavier camera. I personally would use Sony grips, but then again 'some' third party ones I have heard good thing, and others I have heard bad things.</p>

<p>Randy, when I do my street photography I always tend to saturate the colours, it reminds me of books from the 60's, 70's and 80's that had saturated photo's of people and places. <br>

Thus when you see many of my photo's they are rich in colour. I tend to desaturate portraits of people though.<br>

FYI, the Camera and lens went on my credit card, and that is still being paid off, lol. (I have no regrets.)</p>

<p>And the usual festival Staple, the laughing clowns.<br>

My third party batteries do, never had an issue, what type did you buy?

Randy, I printed out some 8x12 images at the photo lab and honestly they are just as good as my a99 at that size, crisp

and sharp. I should say I am happy to see when I go out walking at tourist destinations in my city that I am seeing plenty

of Sony cameras in people's hand, mainly the mirror less type, but I saw two people with the HX50V which is the older

model of mine. It is a great street camera. Especially now I can carry it around all the time.
