First off, the main reason I am commenting is the Nightski asked the question. I have shot Sony for years and have the A99 & the r7s. Jason states that he was not paid to do the video and that is supported by the Sony policy not to pay for individual photographer's promotion of their product.
Mirror less gives tremendously clear, crisp and tack sharp images. The full frame sensor can't be beat. There is no sense going on & on about the features and capabilities since it seems to me that most in the forum are "tried & true" skeptics. My suggestion is to pick a few days that you can spend some time shooting in a variety of settings and light; rent the r7s or the A99 and go have a blast. You are the one that has to be happy with your images when all is said & done.
I am optimistic that you will not regret the exercise and you will have made an informed decision for the cost of the rental. There are lots of good adapters out there that will let you use you current glass on a Sony mount if you choose to go that way.
Happy shooting!

I can't agree more. I have LightRoom & PhotoShop and OnOne functions as a plug-in for both. One thing that I haven't seem mentioned in this thread is the excellent webinar tutorials that are available through OnOne. I have taken several and find the hour long format just the right length and the experts are very good about keeping things simple and on-topic. There is an interactive component that allows the attendees to ask questions in real time. I don't know if the webinar support would show up on a you tube search but it is very real and very helpful in all levels of PP, from beginner to a more advanced level.

Glad you enjoyed...the second shot was included more for the sunset color than the composition.

Thanks Geoff, I like that idea!

Thanks for taking the time to look & comment.

It appears that you know that I can't get soft water and a focussed moon. The composition was an 8 second exposure, then SS changed to1/250, focussed on the moon & took the shot. The original moon (blown out of course) did have some wispy clouds so they were reconstructed. Good analysis and call.

Thanks ebbote...thank for looking and commenting.

Thanks dugole. I saw the moon rise with a red hue on my way home from a meeting and knew exactly where I wanted to shoot from. Tried not to speed (but might have once or twice) to get to a little park at the south end of the point of land where I live. It helps to know where Mother Nature puts on her show!

Thanks all for taking the time to look. The second photo is not spectacular by any means...just to give you an idea of the color at the opposite end of the sky from the Moon rise.

We on Vancouver Island are seeing some very unusual sunrise and sunset color as a result of the smoke from the forest fires in northern Washington state. The sunset to the northwest was magenta and the moonrise (just at sunset) to the southeast had a royal purple hue.

It is an excellent resource...taught me more than a few things I hadn't figured out about the camera, especially the video capabilities. Better yet, it is very readable and in a conversational tone. I would highly recommend it.

I've had an A-77 for 16 months and purchased the David Busch book to make the most of the camera as quickly as possible. I am very happy with the quality of the shots...my aviatar is an example taken at a 1/8000th shutter speed. The rumours of an upcoming release gives you some options around the timing of your purchase, but you won't ever regret buying a Sony A-77.

All three are truly beautiful! I love how IR treats fall colors. Glad to see you made the first page of the digest...about time your posts got the attention they deserved!

Gee whiz...so sorry that the white stuff showed up so early! And thank you so much for reminding me why I live on the east side of central Vancouver Island where, if we get one snow fall a year it's a big deal. To get any snow shots I have to drive up a mountain. Enjoy and stay warm!

Here's one from the 27th floor of the Sheraton Wall Centre in downtown Vancouver at sunset. Seems that there is a lot of fog in the Straight of Georgia!
