Hello,
I have a Sony A350 that I bought about 5 years ago and, realistically, haven't got the best out of - mainly because I do my photography on high days and holidays.
I am going to Iceland after christmas and hope to see the northern lights so have planned to buy a camcorder to get movies as well as still shots of said lights. I also need to buy a decent tripod. My budget is about £200 each for these two items.
I started looking online and came across the Sony A65 and A77. I know DLSRs now all seem to have movie functionality and I've always thought if I want a camcorder I'll buy one, but my fancy has been tickled and I'm wondering if it's worth upgrading to get a better camera (
an extra 10 mps) and camcorder in one. I notice Camera World promoting trade in so i could save a bit but even if that was mega bucks i reckon I'd have to spend an extra £500 over my original camcorder budget.
Is it worth it??? In other words can someone persuade me NOT to spend the money when I still have a £2000 holiday bill to pay.
Or is the A77 THAT good?
thanks
L
