Sony is a relative newcomer to SLR cameras, but we can't fault it for ambition, or for innovation. It may only have an APS-C sensor, but in almost every other way it's a beast of a camera. The 24-megapixel resolution sets the record for this sensor size...

The A77 is Sony's new top-of-the-range enthusiast SLR. It uses the same APS-C sensor size as entry-level SLRs rather than the full-frame sensors found in professional SLRs, but while we can't expect the absolute highest image quality money can buy, it'...

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 unrecognisabl...
An impressive specification has certainly grabbed the attention here, and the Alpha 77 has been given more than a few tweaks over its predecessor. Sony has set the bar in several areas, not least of which is the inclusion of a high-resolution imaging sens...

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. But with its SLT (Single Lens T...

Super-fast and super-sleek: Sony’s SLT-A77 is a grand replacement for the long discontinued A700 model. The camera’s OLED viewfinder is fantastic (though still not perfection), and the camera’s 12fps burst mode and clever continuous autofocus are match...

Like the Alpha series 30 and 50 cameras, the Alpha 77 has an electronic viewfinder. However, this particular viewfinder is radically different, as instead of using LCoS screen technology, the Alpha 77 has an OLED viewfinder. This ensures excellent cont...
Very high performances (12 fps burst, subject tracking, autofocus etc.), Splashproof body, advanced and customisable controls, Video Full HD at up to 50 fps with manual mode, stereo sound and mic socket, Vertical tilt and swivel screen, Electronic viewfinder: integrated zoom, accurate preview, doesn't go dark in low light...
No major progress in image quality, even a slight regression in sensitivity, Interface can sometimes be confusing, Buffer memory can be a bit tight (at full speed the bust mode is limited to under 2 seconds), Battery life isn't as good as SLRs with optical viewfinders (approx. 400 photos), Electronic viewfinder: still not quite as sharp as a 24 x 36 mm SLR viewfinder, slight display lag, dynami...
The Sony Alpha 77 is a success on all fronts: its electronic viewfinder is good enough to silence critics (including us) as it avoids most of the usual pitfalls; the camera's performances are at least excellent and sometimes outstanding; and on top of...
