Sony Alpha A77 review
With its shooting speeds and focus skills that put DSLRs to shame, the translucent-mirror-equipped Sony Alpha A77 is an exciting newcomer to the camera world.

When we reviewed the original SLT, the SLT-A55, at the tail end of 2010 , we were impressed by how well thought-out its operational ergonomics were, given the newness of its key technology.
Pros:
- Excellent 2.4 million-dot OLED EVF
- Versatile full-time live view system
- Very high-resolution 24MP CMOS sensor (but see caveats in 'cons'
- below
- Exceptionally 'deep' feature set including Auto HDR and Sweep Panorama
- Class-leading video resolution
- Solid
- well thought-out ergonomics
- Fast and...
Cons:
- In-camera JPEGs don't show off the 24MP sensor to its best extent
- Comparatively strong noise reduction at medium and high ISO settings
- Very noisy raw files at high ISO settings
- Little control over high ISO noise reduction in JPEG mode ('auto' or 'weak'
- Limited control in 12 fps continuous...

First off let me say that I have been with Olympus since the beginning starting with the E500 and currently use the E5. I have never owned another DSLR other than Olympus. On a whim I purchased a Sony Nex 3 because I was so intrigued with it.
Pros:
- Easy navigation, fast focus, tilting LCD, awesome EVF with level, tons of lens choices, superior IQ with low noise levels, build quality, ability to change focus modes quickly
- I could go on and on with this
Cons:
- None
- time will tell

Sony Alpha A77 review
Review units for Sony's long-anticipated replacement for the Alpha A700 , the Sony Alpha A77, have finally made it to UK shores, although the worst flood disaster to strike Thailand for 50 years has hampered the camera's official release into the market.

Sony Alpha A77V
I'll lead off by saying that I enjoyed shooting with the Sony Alpha SLT-A77V more than any camera since the Nikon D7000 . It's heavy, especially with the 16-50mm kit lens (which, by the way, has become my favorite Sony lens), but the grip is comfy, it feels well balanced, and with only a few...
Pros:
- A well-designed camera that's enjoyable to shoot
- partly thanks to a great viewfinder
- the fixed-mirror Sony Alpha SLT-A77V bests the competition with features like a cleverly articulated display
- built-in GPS for geotagging
- and very good 1080/60p video
Cons:
- There are some annoying omissions in the A77V's feature set
- including odd limitations for raw and video shooting
- plus battery life is subpar

That said, when weighing these up against a superb level of image quality when shooting in most conditions, great handling, good build quality, industry-leading EVF, quick full-time phase detection AF system and a comprehensive set of exposure modes, we have little trouble with recommending this

Sony Alpha 77 Review
The A77 is definitely a good buy if you're looking for something sturdy, with a good overall balance of features and performance. While the A77 is a slight disappointment in the noise handling department, it definitely makes up for it with the fast AF (especially if coupled up with one of Sony...
Pros:
- Weather sealing and Magnesium Alloy body
- burst mode of 10 frames per second (with AF tracking
- Cheapest of the competitors
Cons:
- ISO performance not up to par
- Flash casts a shadow with kit lens

Sony Alpha A77 review
The translucent-mirror-equipped Sony Alpha A77 is a camera that supports shooting speeds and focus skills that put DSLRs to shame - but it's not a DSLR, okay?
