Well Let's start with what I think sony did wrong with the Alfa A330(RANT)
I have been with minolta / sony gear all my life and when I started again with a DSLR I decided to go for Sony.
For most things it is a good camera as an entry level camera. but they removed some things I find unforgivable for a camera! Damn you (I want a new camera already)! I pain myself into thinking that I should be able to take good pictures with the gear I have, but sometimes I feel really limitted.
First thing that really annoys me is that there is no AEL on the A330. why does sony think that the only place you want the regulmate the lighting is where you focus on!
Second thing is no cable remote ! this is horrible, I bought the IR remote and you have to be in front of the camera to trigger it and it only works half of the time. so this makes this camera unusable for long exposures and timelapses and whatever fun things.
Third thing that really bugs me is the magnification factor of the OVF which at 0.75 is so small that trying to focus manually or checking focus accuracy I am always off! with an OVF like that an EVF might even be better.
forth point that really angers me is the noise at 400 ISO which is already too much and too!
fifth point is the absence of program shift which is really a pain when trying to take pictures in a specific mode like compensating the fact that you are in the woods already takes a few keystrokes before I set everything to my liking.
when considering all these factors which are bothering me , I think Sony can count me in on the waiting list for the A77. and Let us hope that camera will be good!
