Camera Sharpness Comparison
Sony A55 (+Sony 16-50 2.8) vs. Sony A99 (+Carl Zeiss 24-70 2.8)
Sharpness at 24-70mm. APS-C sensor vs. Full Frame Sensor both equipped with a good quality zoom lens
	Comparison by Sinan Ozturk

Sony A55 has an APS-C sensor while Sony A99 is a Full frame camera.

Sony 16-50 2.8 is one of the best zoom lenses available for Sony APS-C sistems. Likewise Carl Zeiss 24-70 2.8 is one the best zoom lenses available for Sony Full Frame sistems.

So both cameras has top lenses that are available to them and same hand hand street shots taken hoping to display the difference between APS-C sensor and Full Frame sensor cameras. [Review by Sinan Ozturk]
