My latest purchase :D

G'day all, i would like to share with you, my latest purchase, the Sony A57.
I was confronted with the option of the EOS 600d and the A57, and the sony was so much easier to use, thus leading me to buy it!
Now all i need is an adaptor for the scope

Aha !! another convert. I have the SLT A77v and just love it. All the controls just fall to hand so easily. Just wish it had some remote control\viewing software like Canon and it would be perfect.
Enjoy your new toy !!

Welcome to the Sony club! Like Brent I have an a77. It is currently serving duty shooting holiday snaps. Only 60GB of shots so far. Another 64GB of SD cards in the bag so I should be safe.

I also have an a200, sitting at home, feeling lonely.

http://www.telescopeadapters.com/ make various models of one-piece camera adapter and 2" tube that have less vignetting that the usual t-rings. It's not so important for crop frame cameras but useful for full frame ones.
