BMichaeli 1 #1 September 15, 2011 I am just starting out flying cameras but i do want to get into it more and i have a question about a still camera. I found a cheap Sony DSLR A200 and was wonder if people have jumped it and what their thought are about it? i have searched it and the one thread about didn't really give any information about the camera and how it performs in free fall. anything helps thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EmuuuH 0 #2 September 16, 2011 I use a sony a200 for skydiving photography. It is a good camera. You just have to make shure that you have autofocus turned off and you have to put some tape on the flash. The downside is that there are not many people using sony photo cameras so it's harder to find a switch for it. (ultimate-switch.com) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon2 2 #3 September 16, 2011 Get a cheap canon eos camera if you can. Much easier to jump, it's skydiving industry-standard so switches etc are no problem, no issues with image stabilisation and easy enough to find other lenses, batteries etc. ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
