I have watched videos and read some reviews on the Sony a77 ll, and your review was the most helpful and easy to understand. you explained the a77 ll AF system in terms and examples we amateur bird photographers can relate to. Now I am seriously considering making this my next camera. I am looking forward to your in the field review on this exciting camera. Thanks! (a new subscriber)
Thank you for your review. I have the Sony a77ll also and it is so hard to find help with it. Usually, they are just going over what the camera has. I want to see what and how people are using it . Thanks again.
+Laura Falcon We're glad you liked it. Take a look at the other two reviews of the body we've put on youtube if you haven't yet - in the one I go over the specs roughly an year after we shot this one and in the other I do a real field test of the body shooting Japanese wagtails. If you have any questions - feel free to comment on any of the videos :)
I wish you said the settings to connect the phone, like a step-by-step. It's nice to know it has its features but I would like to know how to actually initiate it. I'm sure there's settings on the camera that need to be done.
I've just ordered mine. With a 70-300 Sony G objective. Probably not 'big' enough for wildlife photography, but we'll see. Thanks for this video, very helpful.
Nice to see video about wildlife for a77 II but im disapointed i was think we can see in real situation witch AF you use, your tips with the a77 II etc... and not just speak.... hope for a next video
thewildlifechannel And what are your opinions about that lens? Does it do the job? Actually, I didn't know anything about a 300/2.8 from Tamron until now. They should continue to do them if they are good. :)
Hey Daniel Berglund . IMO it's a great lens - really great optical performance and built like a tank. Unfortunatelly it's a bit slow not having a piezo motor and relying only on the screwdriver in the body, but for the monеy it goes for it's really a no-brainer :) Check out the lens page @dyxum.com- it has a bunch of sample photos. For me it's a perfect buy if you can't spend a fortune for a motorized 300 prime, but still want great performance and can live with a bit of chromatic abberations.
I have ILCA 77m2 YOur Lenses are very costly then what is the use of buying this camera? Other lense brands dont have sony A-mount. I want to find telephoto lens of 600mm for my 77M2 . Tamron providing lenses for NIkon & Canon Mount. Now i think, my decisions was wrong
+Sandeep Saseendran Well it's not always that easy to determine whether it was a right or wrong decision. The Minolta 600/4 is an awesome lens, but still kinda costly. The Sony 500/4 is also an awesome lens and the AF speed with a77m2 is mindblowing, but yet the pricetag is above what most people would be able to spend. On the other hand not having image stabilization in the lens lets more room for optics, meaning potentially higher image detail and optical resolution. It's always about what you put your priorities on. By the way Tamron, Tokina and Sigma have lenses for Sony as well and quite frankly it's a shame, that Sigma didn'e release a 120-300/2.8 one for Sony, but I guess the politics there are still a bit too tense after the Sigma-SLT issues when SLTs first came out. The good news is, that there're 600mm lenses out there for Sony-A, that are just as cheap and good as the 3rd party ones for Canon and Nikon (like the 150-600 Tamron), so that shouldn't be really a limiting factor for you.

+Thomas Bunner really glad you found it helpful. There should be a few field and practically oriented videos really soon, so stay tuned! :)

I guess there are much more portrait photographers than wildlife photographers, thats why there is so much more talk in this direction.

Yoann Fontaine That's actually a very good idea, thank you - such a video will be coming up in the near future.
thanks for your insight about the a77m2. Do you have samples taken with it?
Hi! What is the lens that you showed in the video? Looks like a 300mm prime lens.
Jr Brian Hogan Hi! That's right - the lens is a 300 mm prime, Tamron SP AF 300 F/2.8 LD IF (360E).
thewildlifechannel And what are your opinions about that lens? Does it do the job? Actually, I didn't know anything about a 300/2.8 from Tamron until now. They should continue to do them if they are good. :)

Both Tamron and Sigma have Sony A mounts available in their long lenses.
