Sony Alpha SLT-A77
Sony's SLT-A77 has to be one of the most hotly-anticipated cameras of recent years. Since the Alpha A700 was pulled from production there's been something of a gap in the Alpha lineup – a gap that the A77 looks to fill.
Pros:
- Super-fast burst mode
- great movie mode
- OLED viewfinder the best electronic viewfinder to date
- weather-sealed body
- competitive price
Cons:
- Electronic viewfinder still suffers some lag
- poor battery life
- 24.3MP sensor doesn't cut it at higher ISO settings

Sony Alpha 77 SLT extended review
The Sony SLT-Alpha 77 is a very serious piece of gear but it took me a while to enjoy it. I had four weeks with the review camera to form an opinion but it wasn't until well into the fourth week that it all started coming together.
Pros:
- Focusing options
- Shutter response
- 10 frames per second
- Articulated viewfinder
- EVF and good looking video
Cons:
- Slow camera response to all inputs except shutter button
- Exposure information is substandard in live-view
- Poor raw file integration and support
- Complicated and unintuitive manual and menu system

Sony A77 Review
Coming from a Nikon DSLR background, I did not know what to expect from the newly released Sony SLT-A77 camera. Its impressive performance characteristics, high resolution and bundled features were the reason why I decided to give Sony a try.

- Excellent build quality
- Very nice kit lens
- GPS built in
- Excellent HD video quality
Cons:
- Response times could be faster
- Battery drains quickly
