North Charleston, S.C./ November 29, 2012 Cardiovascular diseases are the No. 1 cause of death in the United States. On average, one American dies every 39 seconds of cardiovascular disease disorders of the heart and blood vessels. The American Heart Association estimates that the direct and indirect cost for cardiovascular disease in the U.S. for 2010 was $503.2 billion.
Early detection of life threatening heart disorders and other diseases is possible through the use of Echocardiography procedures performed within hospitals, outpatient centers and physicians offices. While these tests are helpful, there are many facets that contribute to an accurate diagnosis based on Echocardiography testing. The skill of the Echocardiography sonographer performing the examination, the type of equipment used, the background and knowledge of the interpreting physician and quality assurance measures are each critical to quality patient testing.
Trident and Summerville Medical Centers have been granted a three-year term of accreditation in
Echocardiography in the areas of Adult Transesophageal and Adult Transthoracic by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC).
Accreditation by the IAC means that Trident Health has undergone a thorough review of its operational and technical components by a panel of experts. The IAC grants accreditation only to those facilities that are found to be providing quality patient care, in compliance with national standards through a comprehensive application process including detailed case study review.
IAC accreditation is a seal of approval that patients can rely on as an indication that the facility has been carefully critiqued on all aspects of its operations considered relevant by medical experts in the field of Echocardiography. When scheduled for an Echocardiography procedure, patients are encouraged to inquire as to the accreditation status of the facility where their examination will be performed and can learn more by visitingwww.intersocietal.org/echo/main/patients.htm.
IAC accreditation is widely respected within the medical community, as illustrated by the support of the national medical societies related to Echocardiography, which include physicians and sonographers. Echocardiography accreditation is required in some states and regions by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and by some private insurers.
Echocardiography accreditation is required in some states and regions by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and by a number of private insurers. However, patients should remain vigilant in making sure that their Echocardiography procedures are performed within accredited facilities, because for many facilities accreditation remains a voluntary process.
Trident Health is an HCA health system comprised of two acute care hospitals Trident Medical Center and Summerville Medical Center as well as Moncks Corner Medical Center. The Joint Commission recently named Trident Health to their list of the nations top hospitals for quality and safety for the second year in a row. In 2011, Trident Health provided almost $45 million in charity and uncompensated care and contributed $38 million in taxes. Accredited by The Joint Commission, Trident Health is committed to providing quality health services along with wellness information and opportunities to the communities it serves.

Delve Fonts presents Uppercut Angle, by Joachim Müller-Lancé.
Available now at: http://www.delvefonts.com/uppercut.html
Joachim Müller-Lancé's Uppercut is a rather sporting fellow, originally developed for the Krav Maga training center of San Francisco (Krav Maga is a simple and efficient self-defense system that has become equally popular in Hollywood and with law enforcement). Joachim has spent several years training, hitting things and people whenever he needs a break from kerning. Uppercut can be seen on the school's t-shirts and other articles.

Their dropping incomplete support for an obsolete technology - which is good. These guys have a great shortage of developers, and I think it's a good long-term solution for them to support the latest tech only.
I always thought, for example, that they are wrong in trying to reverse engineer the old NVIDIA cards, which will be obsolete and disappearing from the market soon anyway. They should concentrate on the present and future - say the 8xxx series and above, which are very different from everything before them, and little of what they've done on the older chips can be reused.
I hope I make some sense, it's very late.

McCarthy, Burnett square off in series rubber match
Arizona has won three of four; Phillies concluding 10-game road trip
PHOENIX -- It has been a long road trip for the Phillies.
It has been any even longer road back to respectability for the D-backs.
On Sunday, the two teams will square off in the series finale with Brandon McCarthy on the mound for the D-backs and A.J. Burnett on the hill for the Phillies.
The D-backs got off to a slow start but have won three of four and are looking to win the series. The Phillies are 5-4 in the first nine games of their current 10-game road trip heading into Sunday.
It has been an unusual year for McCarthy. He has pitched well at times in each of his starts this year, but he has also been hit hard. Last time out, a three-run homer by Mike Olt hurt him as the Cubs beat him, 9-2, at Wrigley Field.
"That's my job there after the error to get out of that inning and make sure we get back in the dugout and minimize any damage there, and I was one pitch away from doing that," McCarthy said after the start. "But again that's just kind of how it's been going. Even when we've had a chance to get past something, it just hasn't worked out for whatever reason."
As for Burnett, he gave the Phillies a chance to win Tuesday at Dodger Stadium by allowing six hits, two runs, one walk in 6 2/3 innings. He also struck out five and notched a career-high three hits.
The Phillies will start the first of seven home games on Tuesday against the Mets. The D-backs will play host to the Rockies at Chase Field for three games starting Monday.
Phillies: No cycle for Howard
Joe Torre, Major League Baseball Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations, upheld the scoring decision from the game against the Rockies on April 20 that kept Ryan Howard from hitting the club's first cycle since David Bell accomplished the feat in 2004.
On the play in question, Howard's batted ball to right field eluded outfielder Brian Barnes and he ended up on second base. The play was scored a single and error (E-9). Howard finished the game 4-for-5 with two singles, a triple and a home run. Howard needed a double to complete the cycle.
D-backs: Ross back in lineup
Cody Ross was back in the starting lineup on Saturday night and he's expected to play again on Sunday after being limited to one at-bat in consecutive games as he rebounds from last year's serious hip injury and surgery.
"He's going to play some. We'll continue to rotate him," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "He's really good against lefties and as I said before he needs to play more to get his rhythm going to get hot. We hope he gets going. We really need that. At the same time we'll try to read [his condition]. He's not going to tell me whether he needs a day off. We'll try and stay away from that where we push him too far."
Ross had two hits and three RBI in his first two at-bats Saturday.
Worth Noting:
• The D-backs have invited Randy Johnson back to Chase Field to throw out the first pitch on May 18 before the game against the Dodgers. It's the 10th anniversary of Johnson throwing a perfect game against the Braves at Turner Field. Robby Hammock, who caught that game on May 18, 2004, will receive Johnson's first pitch.
• The Phillies are 25-15 against the D-backs since 2008.
• Reliever Brad Zeigler has a string of 10 consecutive scoreless games and 13 of his 14 appearances overall this season. He has allowed two hits, walked four and whiffed nine in 9 2/3 innings.
• The Phillies have two more 10-game road trips this season.

Was never used on a game?
It is very good looking engine for what i've seen.
Phoronix: Leadwerks Engine Will Be Coming To Linux
Following a successful Kickstarter campaign, Leadwerks Software will be bringing their Leadwerks Engine and development tools to Linux...
Was never used on a game?
It is very good looking engine for what i've seen.
They should make it open source else it is not appealing.
We already have id Tech 4 (Doom 3 engine) and the Torque 3D engine (Tribes 2), as well as many other open source engines (many of which are improved derivatives of the Quake engines).
There already are many proprietary engines for Linux such as Unigine and Source.
So unless they open source their engine they can take their engine and take a hike!
idTech4 and Torque are sub-par engines. There is a reason both have been tossed over the wall to the Open Source crowd (note that neither was produced by a FOSS development model): they're commercially irrelevant. If either were still good enough to sell licenses with you can bet they'd both still be proprietary. I'd rather see a cheap proprietary engine you can make quality games with than a bazillion Free engines you can make only mediocre games with.
Leadwerks looks decent. I haven't used it, but their toolset looks like someone put some time and effort into making iteration times low, which is by far the most key thing. Hopefully it lives up to their claims. I took a look to see what games it's been used for, but all the first 3 pages of Google hits on "leadwerks games" gave me was articles on Leadwerks coming to Linux, so I don't have much to really look at. Hopefully the gaming community makes some nice Linux games with this thing.
I dont really know what you mean with "sub-par" maybe my english is to bad? but they were tossed "over the wall" because carmak had a thing for linux in some way. Nowadays Id soft is commercialy a disaster from a nearly technology leader to a total flopp. but in the days from especily quake2 and quake3 it was the best you could get. at least the commercialy most successful engines of that time.
that they are not invented by foss is true... that has different reasons, one is that software as service modell with free software is often a 1vs1 thing. so stuff where a company needs more than one customer to get enough money to build it is difficult to organise with foss lisense. But that did nowadays change by crowd-founding, so its pretty reasonable that the crowd get what they pay for...
I would feel dumb if I would take money from somebody for that that I would sell him something. thats like I go to bmw say to them I pay you 50.000 euro if you sell me a car for the normal price. even worse I would give them 50.000 euro so they would consider to rent me a car for much money and they desite how I use it.
But ok so far with that, software as a product is in our braindead world a strange accepted thing, have to accept that I live between morrons.
But there is another thing that hindered that good engines were developed (except ogre and co...) that this engines were converted to opensource so there were less need to write it, if nothing woudl be there there would be more reason to write one.
And the last reason is, that game engines are pretty much one of the last things linux-devs would care about. They cost much money and there is no money in it... because games are only for consumers and linux is king in b2b but not good in b2c because for b2c you cant get big income per customer you need a big mass of customers so b2c is only interesting if you have hundrets of millions of customers.
So its not the development model, its just that nobody needs it. nobody NEEDS games... it can be ah nice time-waste but its not more.
And there is another thing... the business modell of blockbuster games do not fit well with opensource models, opensource is not that wasteful, you dont generate 2-5 years a big big software project then release it users use it for 2-3 months then 99% of the users deletes it from the harddisks forever.
I would even go the other way, the commercial industrie now sees that they failed with that modell, they now create mmos that live long, that gets not deleted after 2 months were players play it for years. And yes its even software as a service, and here opensource is stronger and here opensource was ahead for long time. And here again commercial software clones prinzipieals of opensource models, to copy stuff to clone wow 1000 times and make everything a bit better. except in opensource you clone stuff less often most of the time...
so the opensource development prinzipiels did suceed, except coupled with drm + closedsource.
btw dont be so nose-upwards-pointing (is taht a word ^^) stuff like blender did happen in linux, so why should there not be a "AAA" Engine someday.
Even our moneysystem and stuff like that will most probably so openosurce is bigger than some commercial system that are build on top of a dieing economical system.
Well they managed to get the funds, but their crowdfunding should have been to open source the engine, not simply port it.
Then they could use the money do develop their next generation engine, and eventually repeat the process to open source that and go work with the next-next generation, etc.
AAA and indie game developers (sadly) do not care.
The gameplay and the art makes the game. Not the engine.I'd rather see a cheap proprietary engine you can make quality games with than a bazillion Free engines you can make only mediocre games with.
"Being closed source is what is needed" is wrong. "Being customizable with mods is what is needed" is way better.
Art makes for visual quality. Slap some AAA game textures on any FOSS engine and it'll suddenly look good.

It is very good looking engine for what i've seen.

Mends broken objects |
- "The Mending Charm will repair broken objects with a flick of the wand. Accidents do happen, so it is essential to know how to mend our errors."
- —An excerpt from the entry in Book of Spells.[src]
The Mending Charm[1], also known as the Repairing Charm[2] (incatation: Reparo) was a charm that could be used to seamlessly repair a broken object.
[show]Casting and effects
The Mending Charm was effective at repairing most materials.[2] However, damage caused by certain rare, powerful curses was impossible to undo.[2]
The charm was suitable for use only on inanimate objects.[2] Use on living beings was entirely proscribed.[2] Serious scarring could result if it were cast on a person or animal in an attempt to heal wounds.[2]
While a properly cast Mending Charm was generally enough to fix an object, it seems less experienced casters might not succeed in returning liquids to broken containers.[3]
This charm was invented by Orabella Nuttley, an employee of the Improper Use of Magic Office in the British Ministry of Magic, in or before 1754. She used her charm to repair the Colosseum after it had been accidentally destroyed. Thereafter, it became famous; this instance was recorded in Book of Spells, by Miranda Goshawk.[2]
There are various textbooks containing instructions for this spell, including The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 1[1], although there is still a spellbook designated entirely to the teaching of this charm[4]. Due to its being a level one spell, it is likely taught in the first year.
- Albus Dumbledore[5]
- Bob Ogden[6]
- Harry Potter[7]
- Hermione Granger[8]
- Orabella Nuttley (Invented the spell)[2]
- Rubeus Hagrid (Failed)[7]
- Seamus Finnigan (Probably)[3]
- Associate of Garrick Ollivander
There is a similar spell, Oculus Reparo, which is used to repair eyeglasses; its history and relation to this spell apart from the etymology and effects are unknown[9].
Latin reparo meaning "to renew" or "repair".[10]
Behind the scenes
- This is the last spell cast in the series[7]
- According to Pottermore, the hand movement is thus:
Also, the books state alternately that one must point their wand at (from the fourth book) or tap (from the sixth book) the broken object.

Is it possible to make the Phoronix Test Suite work on Windows as well? It would be kinda cool if performance could be compared between Windows and Linux with the test suite.
Phoronix: A Detailed Guide To Phoronix Test Suite 2.0
In less than two weeks we will be officially releasing Phoronix Test Suite 2.0 "Sandtorg" and this by far is the biggest upgrade ever to our flagship testing and benchmarking software. While the Phoronix Test Suite is most often associated with Linux, this open-source software is also compatible with Mac OS X, OpenSolaris, and BSD operating systems too, all of which offer new improvements with Phoronix Test Suite 2.0. In this article we have detailed some of the major highlights of Phoronix Test Suite 2.0 and how we seek to drive innovation into PC benchmarking and performance profiling.
Is it possible to make the Phoronix Test Suite work on Windows as well? It would be kinda cool if performance could be compared between Windows and Linux with the test suite.
I could port pts-core / Phodevi to run on Windows 7... Plus some of the test profiles. I have thought about it, it would be fun. However, I have no intentions of doing so until any company or organization wants to finance that work... Or at a minimum, to at least send out a couple Windows PCs. I have no Windows installations on hand.
Please make sure the PTS Live Linux ends up with an alternate BIG SMP variant kernel as well so we can run tests on large servers. A non-Desktop oriented test suite set would also be very welcome.
Yes, please don't waste time on Windows, was so 1990s. :P
Not to mention Windows has enough benchmarking programs as it is...you know...the whole reason behind PTS coming to be, lack of benchmarking on Linux/BSD/etc. As far as *open source* Windows benchmarking, I dunno, but who wants to help open source on a closed source platform? Just silly.
Considering that Linux's main competitor is Windows, wouldn't it make sense to observe Windows benchmarks and see where Windows comes out on top, so that Linux could be improved in those areas?
Such testing isn't reliable unless you use exactly the same tests on both OSes on the same machine to ensure the least amount of variables in the experimentation.
Is there any way to determine what the command-line equivalent is for each of the tests in the GUI implementation of PTS 2.0 ? I'd really like to know what the setting is for the record size in the IOzone test!

The Myraton integrated stainless steel wand is a work of art as much as a technical achievement. The new design fuses the upper cord management connection with the hose quick release button. The cord management connection keeps the integrated cord in place at all times and ready for use with a flush connection electric hose including the Plastiflex gas-pump grip and the Centec 3200SG hoses. The integrated power cord uses a mini coil concealed within a telescopic sleeve to extend in length with the wand and terminates in the quick release connector used on both the Lindhaus PB12-QDC & PB14-QDC powered nozzles. This integrated design is the final key that completely eliminates external cords of any kind in the central vacuum power brush cleaning system which increases reliability and adds incredible maneuverability to a now fully integrated product from inlet to nozzle.
The new integrated design also changes the old hose release tab to an easier to use button in the same shape as the wand extension button. Quick release of the hose is a simple push of the button to unlock the wand and easily connect other tools. Quick release of the powerbrush is equally as simple with the push of a toe operated pedal the nozzle will unlock the wand which allows you to quickly change cleaning modes from carpet to hard floor brush or above the floor when needed.
High quality stainless steel construction offers the strongest wand design available with permanent, life long stain and corrosion resistance. Beautiful brushed finish shows quality workmanship that will not rust, chip, scratch or peel and will remain functional and good looking for years to come. Durable pierce & pin locking system is reliable with extended life offering years of trouble free service.
All Myraton Inox Class 6700 series wands use the industry standard 1¼" (32mm) tapered connections which fits all domestic central vacuum hoses and all standard vacuum tools. The MYR677LH integrated wand is designed for use exclusively with the Lindhaus PB14-QDC & PB12-QDC powered nozzles with quick disconnect swivel connector. The integrated wand replaces external corded chrome or stainless steel wands used in previous generations of the Lindhaus QDC kits and MD Manufacturing's Stealth II© quick release attachment kits. Does not fit other brands of powerbrush or power hoses without flush mount power connector. Does not fit Lindhaus power nozzles without Quick Release. If your Lindhaus powerbrush has a power cord attached you should not use this wand.

"Poor and Irish"
Told in a series of stories from childhood comes this book of a poor Irish childhood. The narrator is the author and I think it works for this story.
"Great Read"
This book really made me think, on many levels. Written from the perspective of a survivor, who not only survived but thrived.
"Great Story well Read"
Loved the ideas and thoughtful nature of this book. The action is non-stop, and slowly the story unfolds to tell us why. Beautifully done.
This book is a compelling and though provoking guide to the Holocaust. Helps answer alot of questions like: why? and why didn't they help themselves? and finally how did a group of people get away with mass murder. Listen, you won't be sorry.
"Well told History"
Loved this history of Genghis Khan. What a guy!
I have read other histories and know that things aren't exactly correct in this telling, however, it is well worth the read.
"Good Ending"
Sad what the Haters created, and sad what Danny became. Weak and sick and wondering what the heck took place Danny finds himself in a unique position, but will he do what is right? or what he feels is best...?
"Good follow-up to Hater & pre-story to Them or Us"
This book continues where Hater left us. Danny is trying to be who he is and live in the world thats been changed by the Hate. The capture and subsequent "therapy" he's given is feels a bit far-fetched, but keeps the story going and sets us up for "Them or Us" the last book in the Hater Series.
"Simply Scary"
Love this story. The narrater is great and the story is beyond. Imagine if someone you love and trust suddenly turned on you? Or if suddenly you felt threatened by someone you loved and felt you must kill them or they'd kill you?
Great idea for an even better story. Thanks David Moody.
"Brain Candy"
Love this series. It's fun, has a touch of romance and mystery. The narrator is great and helps make the story better. Not a serious read, but fun.
"Strong and Wrenching"
Loved this story. The protagonist is so filled with memories and pain... as are all the women she's surrounded by. Beautifully narrated by Claire Danes, in an almost monotone, which is so fitting for the story. In that time and that place monotone was the only way to be.

When the Sony A77 was announced a couple of weeks ago as a replacement for the Sony Alpha 700, Sony's semi-professional APS-C camera, we were all very impressed by its specifications. So we were really excited to see how it would perform in our tests.
Here are our results.
First of all, as expected, Sony doesn't propose a classic DSLR but uses its "translucent mirror" technology to enable the light passing through the lens to reach the image sensor and the auto-focus sensor simultaneously. In addition to reducing camera size, this technology enables full-time phase-detect auto-focusing and a high continuous shooting speed—up to 12 fps in full resolution.
But the main innovation that everybody was looking forward to seeing in action is the 24-megapixel APS-C sensor. Sony had already shaken the industry when they were able to fit 16 MPix on an APS-C-sized sensor while offering a high level of quality comparable to the acclaimed Sony SLT A55, Sony NEX C3, Pentax K5 and Nikon D7000. Now they've managed to put 50% more pixels on the same surface. But in doing so, did they end up compromising the image quality—in particular the level of noise (excellent on the 16 MPix version)?
Let's check out the effect on image quality by comparing the SLT A77 with the SLT A55 and the Alpha 580.
The A77 gets a good low-light score of 801, especially if you keep in mind that the translucent mirror takes away part of the light coming in — the main reason for the Alpha 580's better low-light ISO score, as it has a standard mirror mechanism. (To learn more about this, read this detailed comparison of the Sony A35 vs the Alpha 580.)
As we can see in the comparison, this low-light score is very similar to that of the A55 (818), proving that Sony managed to keep the same excellent level of noise despite the reduced size of each pixel on the sensor.
We also point out that at ISO 50 and ISO 80, the Sony A77 can make simply stunning images thanks to its very good dynamic range and color depth.
Let's see how the Sony A77 compares with its competitors, the semi-professional DSLRs from Nikon and Canon.
In this category, the very good EOS 7D seems a bit behind now, suggesting that now could be the right time for Canon to introduce a successor. The comparison with the Nikon D7000 is similar to that for the Sony Alpha 580, as they both use the same Sony sensor.
Now let's see how the Sony A77 compares with the bigger sensors of the full-frame cameras.
Apart from a lower low-light ISO score due to its translucent mirror, the Sony A77 comes very close to matching these full-frame cameras. This demonstrates that even if the full-frame format dominated the high-end market when launched, they have now lost a big part of their advantage. They are closely followed if not overtaken by the best APS-C cameras (of which the Sony SLT A77 is one). So it may also be time for this category to develop new models to take advantage of the latest sensor technologies.
In conclusion, thanks to its capacity to take innovation ever further and to break the limits of sensor design, Sony is about to bring on the market a very good semi-professional camera body. The next question is the capacity of the accompanying lenses to address the challenge of these very small pixels. The DxOMark lens measurements should give us an answer very soon.
Last but not least, as the same sensor will be used by the Sony A65 and the Sony NEX 7, we should see some nice reviews very soon. It will be especially interesting to see the NEX 7 results, as it doesn't use a translucent mirror and thus should be able to take full advantage of this amazing sensor.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
We are already acquainted with the D3200: apart from a few ergonomic details, it's the same camera as the compact and lightweight D3100 SLR, though missing the secondary display on its bridge for even greater compactness. The D3200 weighs only 454 grams (without battery or card). Unlike the D3100, the D3200's lens is off-center for better balance and the highly practical LiveView/video mode activation tab of the D3100 and the D5100 has disappeared in favor of a more ergonomically mundane video recording button. The D3200 comes with a second (dorsal) infrared sensor to complement its front sensor for more practical infrared remote control. The motor selection tab (single-frame, burst, timer, remote control) is gone as well, again replaced by a direct-access button. |
Ever since we tested the Sony SLT A77, we've been very curious to see how the soon-to-be released Sony NEX 7 would compare. And today we have the answer: as we expected, the absence of a mirror gives the NEX7 some advantages. Below is a detailed look. |
Sony announced this "Translucent Mirror Technology" reflex camera in early June 2011. The aforementioned technology, already featured on the Sony Alpha 33 and Sony Alpha 55 consists in allowing you to shoot on continuous-shooting mode (or burst mode) without the shutter-induced strobe effect. In layman's terms you do not see the shutter occlusion in the viewfinder. |

A year later with the Sony SLT-A77
12-12-12 We captured over 250,000 images so far this year with our Sony SLT-A77s in our concert and wedding photography divisions. We change out our cameras quickly so that we don't get too high of a shutter count to hurt the resale. We are now on cameras number 4, 5, 6, and 7, all Sony A77s. We love everything about these cameras and once we got used to them the results keep getting better and better. We have changed out and upgraded all of our lenses... it is not fair to this camera to shoot with anything less than the best glass.
Our lens battalion now consists of: -Tokina 11-16 2.8(excellent low light super wide angle, great for video. Very sharp with excellent color. Not good for long distance or extreme closeups)) -Sony 16-50 2.8 (our 1st copy of this lens wasn't quite right and I'm glad we got another one... very sharp, great color, silent focus, great for video) -Sony 18-135 (this lens surprised us and gave results close enough to our Minolta 28-135 to replace it. Add in the better electronics and slightly better low light usability and you have a great walk around DAYTIME lens. Very sharp, excellent color) -Sony 35MM 1.8 (excellent low light lens, portrait lens, perfect for indoor video. Extremely sharp with excellent color, great for extreme closeups) -Sony 50MM 1.8 (excellent low light lens, portrait lens, perfect for indoor video. This is our go to lens if the 35MM is already being used on another camera. Extremely sharp with excellent color) -Minolta 80-200 2.8G (my favorite lens and I use it whenever I can. Excellent sharpness and color. The only downside with this lens is the 6' "MFD" minimum focus distance) Some of the other great lenses we have tried on the Sony SLT-A77: Minolta 20MM 2.8 Minolta 50MM 1.7 Minolta 28-135 4-4.5 Minolta 500MM f8 AF Tokina 19-35 Tokina 20-35 Minolta 17-35 2.8-4 Minolta 28-85 Minolta 100-300 APO Some of the lenses we tried and were very unimpressed with Tamron 17-50 (sharp but color was way off) Sony 18-200 (soft on both ends) Sony 18-200 (soft on both ends) Sony 18-55 (best maker of 18-55 but still garbage) Sony 18-70 (one of the worst lenses ever made) Tamron 75-300 (sharp but bad color) Sigma (tried many, not impressive compared to Sony or Minolta) Here's some links to recent photos taken with these cameras and lenses http://www.rocklegendsphotographers.com http://abetterdj.zenfolio.com/f573970812 Reply |

Why high ISO advantage for A77 over A65?

This a comment for this page on the website
I posted something similar on the A65 page, but I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on why, given both are using the same sensor, that the A77 scores 801 in high-ISO while the A65 only scores 717. I understand why the A77 might score higher overall due to the lower ISO range, but not why it would be better in low light.
Looking at the NEX-5N vs the NEX-7, the high-ISO performance difference isn't as great (1079 for the 5N vs 1016 for the 7) and they are using sensors with significantly different resolutions. So why such a big difference in high ISO for the A65 vs A77? Reply | Read all replies for this comment |

Re: Why high ISO advantage for A77 over A65?
Might it be due to the faster max shutter speed on the A77 vs A65? Perhaps this makes a higher ISO setting more usable when using the 1/8000 shutter setting?

Re: Why high ISO advantage for A77 over A65?
I don't see an advantage. From among the A77, A65, and NEX-7, all of which use the same sensor, the A77 and A65 have almost identical scores for SNR 18% and Dynamic Range. You may also notice that the SLTs' scores are a little bit shy of the scores for the NEX-7, no doubt due to the light lost to the PDAF system via the "Translucent Mirror".

We just put the SONY SLT-A77 through the ultimate test!
We just shot over 9,000 photos and 2 videos in 4 days with our 2 SONY SLT-A77s!
We just returned from a gig as official photographers of the Rock Legends Cruise. I shot about 5,000 photos with my A77 using my (favorite) MINOLTA 28-135MM 1:4-4.5 lens and my wife took about 4,000 photos using her SONY SLT-A77 using her favorite... the SONY 16-50MM 2.8 lens. We shot about 75% of the indoor shots with no flash. You can read a review of the cameras performances and see the photos and videos under the RLC Cruise photo tab at http://www.abetterdj.net ENJOY!

SONY SLT-A77 with the new SONY 16-50 2.8 lens
SONY could have easily called this lens a "G" lens!
Our 2nd A77 with the 16-50 lens came in on Wednesday and I can't seem to leave it alone (HELP! I'm taking photos and I can't stop!) This camera and lens were made to be together. The sharpness and color beat all of my legendary Minolta glass and the speed is incredible! Photos are processed and already showing on the LCD before your subject is finished saying cheese. This one is going to be permanently attached to my wife's A77 since she's the primary shooter but I might just have to get another one for my own A77 if I can convince myself that I'm no longer addicted to my MINOLTA 28-135 1:4-4.5! That lens has been so good to me I can't bear the thought of bagging it. The A77s grow on us more and more every day. I was kinda jealous of some of our other shooters that had the SONY zoom button, our A55s didn't and I wished they did. I love zooming in with the 28-135 then hitting the button twice and getting that fabulous crop. I also have a 100-300 APO that looks great doubled to 600MM... kinda makes me want to go for a 100-400 APO! We've posted some great flower shots with the A77/16-60 combo on our site... just got to the SONY|MINOLTA tab http:www.abetterdj.net Reply |

The SONY A77 is awesome.

This a comment for this page on the website
We didn't have the patience to wait for the US release of this camera plus we were worried it would be pre-sold-out (like happened in the UK), so we ordered 1 from Hong Kong (2 day delivery $1329 US). We sold one of our 3 SONY A55s to make room for it in our camera tub and all we can say is WOW!
We've had ours for 6 days now and shot about 300 test shots before shooting our 1st wedding (800 shots) last Saturday. We were not expecting much photo quality improvement over the A55s but boy were we wrong. The detail, sharpness, and color that this camera put out were a noticeable improvement from our A55s. The wedding we shot was very dimly lit and the camera had no problem making the proper adjustments. We shot all night in Auto to put it through the tests. The camera reacted well and is super fast both in AF speed and shutter reaction. Out of 800 shots we had 798 useable, with the 2 bad ones being an ooops and one shot that the flash didn't fire. There was no noise at all in any of the photos taken. The camera is larger, but not too large for my wife's normal female sized hands. The weight was actually less than we expected and she was comfortable during the whole 6 hour shoot. We never experienced a lag time while the buffer unloaded and we got almost 700 shots from the SONY battery. The buttons and dials are all nicely placed and after a few days of getting used to the camera we have found everything to be easily accessible. There is very little need to go into the menu once the camera is set up for your shoot, there are buttons for just about everything. For anybody thinking of buying one of these... stop thinking and start your preorder process, it is well worth the $1400 selling price. We will be replacing our A55s with A65s soon, but the A77 will continue to be our primary camera. We've posted some sample shots at www.abetterdj.net and will post some of the wedding shots Thursday or Friday. One more thing... in case you didn't know the legendary MINOLTA lenses work perfectly on these cameras! You will get much more bang for your buck going with these. We shoot exclusively MINOLTA lenses on all our SONYs. Our primary lens is a MINOLTA 17-35MM 1:2.8-3.5 and our A55s are both equipped with MINOLTA 28-135 1:4-4.5 lenses. We also bag a MINOLTA 100-300MM APO lens for long distance shots at concerts we shoot. We are the official photographers on the Rock Legends Cruise in December www.rocklegendscruise.com and will be posting about 15-20,000 photos to share with everyone :D Reply | Read all replies for this comment |
