Sooo, the A77's do NOT have Clear Image Zoom ??




The A77mkII does.

A77 just has the Smart Teleconverter with pixel dumping.

So-called "Clear Image Zoom" is merely a form of digital ( as opposed to optical) zoom accompanied by algorithmic pixel interpolation for reduction of
obvious pixelation. However, as is the case with any digital zoom, it results in no increase in capture of image detail ( as optical zoom does). and to answer your specific question, The A77 does not, in so far as I've been able to discover, offer any form of digital zoom. And having used the A77 since it came on the market, I've never missed digital zoom .

Dave, do you ever use the Smart Teleconverter or Focus Magnifier?

I don't use the Focus Magnifier at all because Focus Peaking works so well for me, but I DO use the Smart teleconverter... ESPECIALLY for wildlife shots. :thumbup:

I have and use Clear Image Zoom - It is as good as the BEST software interpolation out there - it is also as good or better than the best teleconverters out there. And when you say " it results in no increase in capture image detail " I agree - BUT neither does it significantly reduce image detail - as optical zoom DOES ( talking teleconverter here) - AND, there is no light loss as using TC's ! .....Let me know if you would like to see samples - I have posted them previously here on the Hog.
