Thomas-Bosack | Asked  9 months ago | Last response was 8 months ago

I want to shoot low budget films on my DSLR. What should I buy? 7D, 5D Mark11, 5D Mark 111, or the Sony a99.

    A77 is not a FF camera. I'd get the A99 for video, but wait to see some good reviews and samples

    Go with Full frame. The a77 is not full frame however the a99 will be. Buy that! The Sony user interface is perfect. If u need something this week buy the 5dm2.wait for the a99. It will be a top 5 camera on the market

      The SONY a99 looks like the creme of the crop. Unfortunately, I have a lot of Canon lens. What to do?

      Hopefully, the Sony a 99 will make a adapter for Canon glass. I doubt it. The a99 will cause Canon to drop the mark111 price.

      There wont be any Canon to Sony a-mount adapters because of mechanical problems with the sizes of the mount and distance to the sensor. There are some adapters available for the Sony e-mount which is used by NEX cameras and all Sony camcorders / videocameras. If you are interested in this solution have a look at the newly announced Sony VG900 or VG30. But I would recommend either staying with Canon or selling all your lenses.

      The vg900 does look like it will be nice with both mounts e and a available. The good thing is canon lenses have a good resell value.
