Hi Fellow alpha users...

Well just to share a short clip put together from clips taken with the Sony A55.
I had a chance this morning to take the Sony A55 (On Loan from Sony Australia for evaluation). I'm hoping to get one for my team as a back-up video capture device for the simplicity and compactness of this little camera.

The rolling shutter effect is quite obvious especially after Youtube uploading - probably due to the compression - made more obvious from the hand held shots. using a tripod would help to do a smoother panning.

All I can say ...with only the kit lens 18-55mm..one can get really very good video quality from what I can see so far.

Anyway...here is the video...

Nice choreograph for the video, w/ the music.

Btw, I was wondering on what shutter speed you're using for the video? The panning part look quite... choppy on the top and bottom half though... Overall however, the video quality seemed to be pretty ok.. 24fps?
