Sony Alpha 77 review
Long rumoured and highly anticipated, the Sony Alpha 77 replaces the four-year-old Alpha 700 as the company's flagship APS-C-format digital camera. But make no mistake: while both are classed as enthusiast level models, the two are virtually unrecognisable as siblings.

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
