**While I did not purchase this camera from Amazon - I use Amazon so much on a weekly basis, that I know how important reviews are for products, and decided to write a review on Amazon as well as my purchase point site as well.I have had the camera for only a week, and have not been able to pin down! I'm just so impressed at all of the incredible things, that this camera is capable of. I have been using Super Zoom Bridge cameras, for the last 10 years while the advancements of digital cameras that have exchangeable lenses, progressed enough to, no longer worry [as much], about dust and dirt, getting in the insides. Ten years ago, the prices were stiff, and the constant worry about dust held me back. I felt that, until they really looked into the problem, and fixed it decently, I didn't want to take chances on a camera such as this .I was also waiting for the prices to come down.That being said, for those that have used a 35mm film cameras with regular and zoom lenses, in their past, should not worry as I did about making a change to a "Real Digital Camera". I quickly found out that, using the camera, for the first time, that the worried feelings I had, were not necessary. I feared that, it would take a long time to get used to this camera's differences. Thankfully, it comes right back to you, just like riding a bike,,,but this time, the bike has JET PACKS and is WAY more fun!First things first - if you too have been using an "all in one" bridge camera - this camera is HEAVY! VERY HEAVY! And that is just the body. Add lenses, and it starts to pack on pounds - well not a lot of pounds - but at least 3, with a lens. A good camera strap with a neck cushion is a MUST - or - you can get a sling type strap, that allows the camera to be slung on your shoulder and neck, and hangs upside down - this leaves the camera easily accessible, as it slides up and down the clip attachment on the strap. But you can use a regular neck strap but get a luggage strap cushion and add it to your strap - it will help! A decent bag will also be needed if you have more than one lens and any accessories. I purchased a sling type bag, and it works great.The next thing that I noticed once the battery is charged up - was the clear LCD screen and packed feature menu. It is a bit taxing to get thru at first, but once you learn where things are placed, you can get back to it fairly easily. The menus are a bit confusing - but stick with the manual and do a quick Google search for ANY question that you have - you will have answer right away. Don't be intimidated, the learning curve is not long if you stick with it. The small bit of at first work is worth it! And, if all else fails, just use the smart Auto mode, until you become comfortable with it, and the rest of the settings.Next up that blew me away was - the Electronic View Finder! Or (EVF) OMG!!! Wow - it's like I have NEVER taken pictures before with ANY camera! Yes - it IS THAT impressive! One really nice thing about the EVF, is the eye sensor. It knows when you place your eye up to the view finder, and when you remove the camera from your eye - the rear screen comes up showing you what the lens is seeing at that point. This allows for you to view any picture taken, but it also shows your camera angles in a bigger frame, so you can see the full field of view for sizing up the view, before taking another picture with your EVF as the final guide. Sony apparently has done something groundbreaking with their EVF, that no other maker uses. and it is noticed as a big plus for me! I really like using the EVF - and that was even after I because used to taking just about every picture for the last 10 years with a full screen! The EVF also has a great level line in the screen so that you can see if your frame is aligned straight -- great idea if you are standing on a hill!Next up, are the features! There are plenty of automatic features - and PLENTY of manual features to play around with. I have not gotten into all of the special things that it can do, as I am still learning about what each setting actually does and how it does it. I will hopefully update my review as I become more acquainted with my new baby!Bottom line - if you are looking to update both your camera, AND your picture taking experiences, to a higher level. This Sony A77 is a fairly budget friendly feature packed camera for that update. I highly suggest the Sony A77 -- there is also a newer model for a LOT more money the, Sony A99 and a slightly lower model the Sony A65 - much more budget friendly, and has the same viewfinder! It lacks a few of the frills on the A77 like a different body composition, no upper screen on top of the camera to show settings, and no GPS.Bottom line - the middle of the line A77 fits in exactly where I needed it to fit, and I'm happy that I made the choice!If you are looking to have a camera that has a burst speed fast enough for sports shooting (12FPS), but is still affordable, GET THIS CAMERA - a

Recently, I had the opportunity to shoot with the SLT-A77 for an extended period. As a heavy Nikon user (D300s and D800) with “all things Nikon,” I was ready for a serious let down, especially concerning build quality and using an Electronic Viewfinder (coming from optical). Boy was I wrong.First, the build and design quality of the camera is tangibly at a professional grade (some may say semi-professional). In the hands, the camera feels fantastic (medium sized hands) and clearly, the engineers did some serious research and focus groups. While the camera is light compared to my Nikon D300s or D800, it has a solid feel due to the magnesium alloy body and professional rubber grip, and thumb placement (critical for serious shooting in my opinion). All the camera controls feel solid and professional, with more than sufficient tactile feedback for use without pulling the camera away from your eye, or shooting in the dark. The articulated LCD screen is very bright, even in daylight use.I have never been a fan of menu driven camera controls and as a Nikon user of the D300s and D800, I rely on external camera controls to the point of operating solely on feel. Without getting into extensive boring details concerning camera control layout (Nikon users have this reputation), let me just say the external controls are more than sufficient and the layout is intuitive, even coming from another system. Many of the dials perform dual functions and this will require some practice to master.The Electronic View Finder, my most serious concern prior to trying the A77, flawed me. In fact, not only was it not difficult to use, I found I missed it when I went back to an optical viewfinder. A key difference between an optical and electronic viewfinder is understanding that the optical viewfinder shows you what you are seeing, compared to the electronic viewfinder that shows what the sensor is seeing, including not only the actual image composition (at 100%), but exposure as well. The EVF reflects all changes you make to camera settings, live in the viewfinder. This was a difficult, but useful, paradigm to break. No more looking at the back of the DSLR after the shot, especially since the A77 plays back images directly in the viewfinder. Keep in mind EVF technology has improved since the A77 launch (touted as the first true OLED viewfinder on market in 2011). Nevertheless, the A77 EVF is simply fantastic and shows no sign of its age though the new Fuji XT-1 (launch in March 2014) is being billed as the most advanced EVF to date with nearly zero lag. A key concern for me concerning any EVF is lag. In this case, the Sony EVF does in fact evidence minor lag when panning very quickly. This lag is mainly evident around the edges. Ironically, the lag does not impact my shooting in any regard. However, if you are a sports shooter, you may want to opt for more recent products. The EVF, while great for portraits, landscape, and even moderately paced movement, seems to lag when it comes to sports. This is most noticeable in continuous shooting modes. Either way, I recommend fast SD cards if you will be shooting raw with this camera. Since I normally shoot portraits and landscape, this is not an issue for me.Image quality of the A77 is typical for Sony- fantastic. Dynamic range is superb, though I still personally prefer my D300s, which is a fair comparison (APS-C compared to APS-C). This preference may be solely due to my post processing workflow and how Lightroom and Photoshop handle the raw files. However, as I said, that is my personal preference. DXO Mark rates the A77 sensor a little better than the D300s sensor. I will note that I also prefer the Nikon D300s noise reduction to the Sony noise reduction, especially when shooting jpegs.The current pricing (about $600 less than when first launched) combined with build quality and availability of a wide range of lenses (Minolta and Sony) makes this camera a very good buy for someone stepping up from Point and Shoot (typical sub $200 compact camera) or advanced Point and Shoot (think Nikon P7700).Final Note: I am a very heavy user of the Nikon Creative Lighting system. However, I cannot comment on Sony lighting options as I do not have enough experience other than to say the onboard flash is decent for minor fill flash, and that’s it (no different than the Nikon D800). I also don’t shoot video, so I will leave a review of video capabilities to more qualified reviewers.

I have owned the A77 for around a year now I believe. It has pros and cons like any product, however there are some drawbacks that may deter you to another brand. First a quick list of some things I like and then the negatives.PROs:FAST, FAST, FAST! This thing can focus and shoot faster than any other camera I have used. AT LEAST this is true in decent lighting, not so much in low lighting obviously. Don't expect miracles. The 12 frame burst shooting is great! And it can even manage to keep up with focus (depending on the lens you're using).For video, the focus is quite acceptable. It is much faster, usually much more accurate than other cameras, and some of the gimmick features like face recognition and smile detection are mostly just for looks but can sometimes be useful.This thing is lightweight and enjoyable to use! Weather resistance (for the body, not most of the lenses). The battery life is quite acceptable. The size isn't overbearing. It's a great camera to carry around when it comes to stamina.The shutter noise is less than other brands/models I have used.The built-in sensor cleaner actually seems to be quite effective!The rest of the pro's I can think of really aren't unique to this brand or model so I'll move on:CONs:Okay, this camera does have some serious flaws that, after owning and using as my main camera for a year, has caused me to wish I'd of opted for a Canon or Nikon.I'll be the first to say this honestly, in my opinion, the images produced with this camera in low light are full of ugly noise. I'm not entirely sure if this is a problem with the sensor or with the lenses I use. Even images with decent lighting, when viewing the full image on a monitor, they're breathtaking, beautiful. When viewing up close at 100% resolution, however, they turn ugly and show noise and artifacts and aren't as sharp/crisp as I'd like. Honestly the difference compared to other brands at this price range is probably un-noticable but worth mentioning.The OLED EVF is NOT a good replacement for optical viewfinding. Sure, the quality is acceptable, and it gives you a good idea of what the image will look like with current settings, and allows you to see all the various display information overlayed (such as the digital "level" which is a nice feature but I'd say only 95% accurate), as well as playback images and whatnot, (and see video you are shooting while shooting it through the viewfinder). Some of these things are great, but in the end, the OLED can also be a major setback. Probably the most obvious is the functionality in low-light scenarios. You CANNOT pull a focus of stars while trying to shoot a starry timelapse. You cannot pull a focus of a person in a dark room because the viewfinder is drowning in the ugly "Sony" noise. Basically, with optical, seeing through the viewfinder is only limited to your own eye, not to the sensor and OLED and that whole process. This can be a dealbreaker. I love taking time-lapse shots of stars and now I have to try and hunt for the right focal length through trial and error. If I shoot "light-painting" photos, I have to first cast a light on the subject to pull a focus. This can really be a limitation.I agree with other reviewers that these Sony lenses are much too expensive for what they offer. The build quality in the lower-end models is very cheap. Some of the lenses are quite noisy with focus. The total lack of cross-compatiblity with other lenses is a setback (only Sony or Minolta lenses allowed). Sony lenses also don't work with other bodies, i.e. cinema cameras, unlike Canon. The optics are mediocre at best, though I have yet to try the $2000+ lenses.The hot-shoe mount being proprietary is quite obnoxious. Can't mount anything to it without adapters which are over=priced for the quality made ones.The in-camera microphone for video recording is, as expected, just about unusable.Cannot plug the HDMI into a 720p display, 1080p only.The images in burst mode can take a very long time to write to the card at times depending on content of image and quality being written.The image stabilization while recording video produces very odd and annoying results, with certain things in the image being stabilized (i.e. the sky/clouds, the trees) and other things in the same frame being unstabilized (i.e. the subject), which creates this odd "warping" effect, almost like some sort of rotoscoping (see Waking Life, A Scanner Darkly, where certain things in the image are whirling around and other things are more static). It can turn a nice shot into something a little more like an acid trip. Not sure what is up with that but it has ruined some shots of mine. Better to leave IS off and do it in After Effects instead.Overall, if you can look past these flaws, it's a great low-end camera to use, especially for video or sports. The ultra-fast focus and shooting speeds really make up for many of the flaws, but not all. Sony makes excellent products, one of the few Camera companies that actua

I'll start by saying, that I have migrated up from a Sony point & shoot and the Sony NEX-5n, so I was already familiar with Sony menus and features. Now when my decision to upgrade my camera came along, I really did consider switching due to all the chatter that says that you have to have a Canikon if you want to be serious about your photography. For some reason, though, Canon just didn't appeal to me when comparing specs, so it was really down to Nikon and Sony.What sold me on the Sony a77 over the Nikon D7100 was the EVF, in camera stabilization, in camera panoramas (which worked well on my NEX), focus peaking (very helpful if you are into focus stacking) and the 16-50mm f/2.8 "kit " lens. Where I was really torn was that the d7100 does appear to have a slightly better sensor and less noise. For me, I like to do nature and landscape work, so I'm ok using a tripod and a low ISO to manage that. To that end, since I am out in nature and inclement weather can catch up to you, I also needed a weather resistant camera body AND lens. It appears that the only Nikon lens that is weather resistant is the expensive Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8G, which sells for $1450. SO, to get an equivalent setup with Nikon, the cost would be $2650 vs $1500 for the Sony w/ kit lens. Also, compare the two lenses on SLRGear and check out the "blur index." Compare them at 16mm/17mm and f/4 and then at 55mm/50mm and f/5.6 and you'll see Sony actually out performs the Nikon at the sweet spot for both short and long focal lengths! On top of all that, this camera is so much more feature rich, so I'll just save $1150 and learn to manage the additional noise!!Aside from the features, I really like the camera layout too. I was able to start using most of the controls with my eye to the EVF within a couple days. They are really intuitive. The only negative is the placement of the knob to change the focus (continuous, manual, etc) as I rest my hand close to it and it presses into the side of my palm. I just need to tweak my hand hold and that will be a non-issue.I am really liking this camera and plan to get the Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 USD XLD to fill out the long end. I wish one camera could have it all, but I guess there are compromises with everything and, for this, it was a little more noise. If noise is critical and you don't need or want a lot of amazing features or an affordable weather resistant lens, then maybe the Nikon d7100 is for you, but don't write off Sony until you give them a try.UPDATE:Well, I got buyers remorse.... almost. I began to second guess my decision based on the noise issue. It really is there if you take your ISO too high (higher that I was used to with my NEX). When comparing it against my NEX-5n it was worse by between 1-2 stops. Then I compared real world use with them. What I found is that, due to the lenses alone, I gain 1-2 stops based on maximum aperture. What that means is I can capture the same scenes with the same amount of noise just because I can gain a couple stops from the lens. Yes, you have to be concerned with depth of field, but it just means tweaking your shooting style a little. You also become a little more intimate with hyperfocal distances (download a calculator app, it will be a life saver).If there were a 16-50mm f/2.8 lens available for NEX, that would be another story. I have fallen in love with this lens and could not go back to anything else. Even if they introduced one for NEX, it would be way more expensive for sure. (EDIT: Sony just announced the Sony 16-70mm F4 for e-mount. Its 1-stop slower and $400 more, assuming the 16-50mm is purchased as part of the kit.) Of course, I could use this lens with the adapter, but I'd lose Image Stabilization and then I'm just trying to make the NEX work when I don't need to. Furthermore, I took pictures of a landscape with both cameras and the A77 just had more detail and punch. Even if there was more noise, there is more detail captured so the overall image is still better.FYI, I am comparing these two since they are two I happen to own and all the review sites seem to like to compare these two on the noise issue. I know you have Canikon alternatives, but, as I mentioned previously, the Nikon alternative is very expensive. There also isn't really a Canon equivalent, but I considered the 60D with its equivalent lens at $600 + $1050 = $1650. It was more $$ by only $150, but it was lower resolution and the sensor scored lower for color depth and dynamic range on DxOMark. The low-light ISO score was about the same. I would also lose out on all the great features of the Sony.I also happened to get my latest issue of Outdoor Photographer (Sept 2013) which had an article on the best DSLRs for wildlife. Lo and behold, the A77 is listed in their table on p 74. They also go a step further and explain that translucent mirror cameras have a particular advantage over the moving mirror type when in Live View mode since they c

I'll let other reviewers cover the more technical aspects of this camera, and there are plenty of reviews online.As a longtime photographer with 2 nikon film cameras as paperweights now, I wanted a nice camera that I could continue to grow with. I also wanted something more sturdy and preferably weather resistant. I've seen this camera listed as an entry-level 35mm, which it is not. I've seen it listed as a professional, which it is not. It really bridges the entry-level to the professional, with the functionality of what I would consider to be a professional category camera. I know many pros use this with fantastic results, especially if they have better lenses. After all, the lens is 80% of the picture (my guess anyway).I very quickly ruled out getting a Nikon or Canon. You pay extra for the name and when I played around with friend's Nikons (3100, 5100, and 7100) I was really not impressed at all. They took decent pictures but the cameras felt light (except the 7100) and, honestly, cheap. When I began comparing the Sony A65/77 with Nikons and Canons, it quickly became obvious that there were many more features in the Sony's and Pentax cameras!So ultimately I was trying to decide between the Pentax K30 and the Sony A65. After researching the two I then was looking at the K-5 and K-5ii, again comparing that to the A65. Let me say that I believe that the K30 is the far better deal for the price! If you're looking to spend under $600 to get an outstanding weather-sealed camera AND lens, then the K30 is for you. It is, however, very much an entry-level camera and will not grow with you. There is no jack for an external microphone and a few other little things, that, for me, added up. For most it would be fine.So my expectations grew from the ~$600 range to about $900-1000. So I compared the K-5 to the Sony A65. For me it was pretty much a dead heat, with the K-5 slightly outperforming the A65, especially as it is a weather-sealed camera. After a LOT of online research and examining the differences between the A65 and their weather-sealed A77, I found the A77 to really be far above the "entry level" A65. You go online and look at some reviews and you'll quickly see that the A77 is a pro camera for a relatively cheap, entry level price.Some of the features that sold me:1. weather-sealed body (now I opted for the non-weather-sealed 18-135 mm lens. I didn't know it wasn't weather-sealed when I got it though. I wrongly assumed that it was, but I don't regret it)2. Magnesium alloy body (not plastic like most, even the canon and nikons, and the Sony A65)3. 24 megapixels4. ability to shoot amazing, cinema-quality "film". Autofocus during video! Amazing!5. OLED viewfinder. I was used to optical VFs, but when I tried this I was blown away. Immediate feedback on what the picture will look like. Totally sold on this technology6. LENSES GALORE FOR CHEAP!!!!Let me explain this last one. First of all the "kit" lens that comes with it is weather-sealed. While I didn't get it I have read great reviews of this. I got the larger, 18-135 and let me tell you, this is a hell of a lens. This is a solid, heavy lens, not the cheap, lightweight lenses that are sold with high end Nikons, Canons, etc (I keep using Nikon and Canons as examples because, well, that is what everyone seems to feel they need to get)Second point about lenses. You can get any of the older Minolta AF (and even non AF) "A" mount lenses. Sony bought Minolta and kept the mount. So you can now go into a used camera store or on Ebay and pick up some OUTSTANDING lenses for a fraction of the cost of new Sony lenses. I got the 70-300 mm Sony lens as an add-on to the purchase for cheap on here (they had a deal). But if I didn't I could find this same Minolta lens (which apparently is exactly the same as the current Sony lens internally) for about $100. Seriously. The fact that you can use Minolta A mount lenses AND Sony lenses is a major factor in my decision to go Sony over Pentax and the rest.7. VERY QUIET AUTOFOCUS!!! Wow! I thought the lens was broken it was so quiet. You can find reviews of the Pentax K30 and Nikons and you'll hear how loud the autofocus is. The 18-135 is SO quiet! Good job, Sony.8. I also appreciated the way the menu system is set up on the Sony. For me it is a more common sense approach to setting your camera up. All options are listed on screen without having to scroll down ... you tab to the next screen to see the options listed. Much easier!9. Fantastic and LARGE sensor that surpasses most professional video cameras (this is a good thing for those of you who want to use this to shoot video.Things I don't like:1. non-standard "hot shoe" . Jeeez. Have to use Sony's proprietary flashes. They aren't too expensive, so no biggie for me2. The fold out LCD screen. Again, not that big a deal, but why not just fold the thing out to the side?! If you put the camera on a tripod with a flash, then flip up the LCD to try to compose a self-timed

Prefacing this with I'm not an Expert in photography but can only judge from what appeals to my eye. I've used this camera for around two weeks and this is my entry into DSLR (Or in this case DSLT) from Point and Shoot cameras. My previous camera is an Canon S95. I'm familiar with manual settings and the relationships between Aperture, Focal length, Shutter speed, and the use of ISO settings, etc.On paper this camera boasts a lot of features and for the price it's definitely more expensive than the Canon and Nikon alternatives. You'll be hard pressed to find popular photographers using a Sony although. It might be because they have a wide variety of lenses for the brand they choose or they're just more familiar to them. I didn't have any such caveats and I wanted something that could handle both stills and video and that is what brought me to Sony.I'm a firm believer that cameras do need higher Mega-pixels to achieve great detail especially when viewed on a computer or cropping. The Sony comes in at 24.3 MP and the detail when viewing at 100% is good although I expected more from this. Zooming beyond 100% is unpleasing.The EVF is nice but it has its limitations. It projects onscreen data such as Aperture and Shutter speed but if you turn the camera vertical it's difficult to see the corner edges of the EVF because it's best viewed horizontal. It also does not correctly simulate the adjustments you make to shutter, aperture, etc. Example is how the camera focuses and displays what's in or out of focus. Even at F.22 it still doesn't properly adjust the picture. At such a small aperture everything in frame should be in focus depending on your distance from the objects but the EVF doesn't correctly display this. In the end you have to snap the picture, review it to see if everything in foreground and background is in focus, and then make adjustments and reshoot if it's not to your liking. This defeats the purpose of the EVF in my opinion.16-50mm F2.8 Lens is solidly constructed as you'd hope for a price of $700 ($600 if purchased with camera kit). It has a metal mount, hefty weight, and weather sealed like the A77. The adjustments are smooth and the auto-focus is relatively quiet. I haven't had much success using it indoors and found you need to basically be outside in direct sunlight to get any decent pictures. No success using this for any close-up (macro) imagery either. A major flaw of this lens is that it has no physical stops on the focus ring but it does have a locking mechanism for the zoom which is nice.The noise performance is not that great. I try to do most shooting with ISO on 100 because image quality definitely suffers in my opinion. ISO Performance is terrible but your mileage may vary, I'm just a tad picky and don't like noise and/or grainy photos. The higher ISO (6400 and above) settings are more or less a waste, not something I'd advertise as one of my selling points. I will make note that I'm shooting in Fine JPEG only because my Photo editor doesn't have Sony's RAW format and being an older program it is unlikely to get it.The good thing is this camera can utilize Minolta Maxxum lenses, a legacy lens that this mount is based upon. These lenses were built in the 80s and quality is far superior to most modern lenses and they cost significantly less. I got a 100-300mm lens and was able to get some good hand-held shots even at max focal length. I guess it's the saving grace of this camera for me.I'd like to do some Indoors photographs. An example would be Aquarium photography. I purchased an f/1.8 Lens from Sony to go with this Camera because even in a well-lit indoor environment the A77 struggles and the ISO only introduces unwanted noise or otherwise grainy photographs. I also have multiple large windows and a large patio door that I can open up and let in light. The white walls of my Apartment also help with lighting and yet still this camera struggles.Feel free to check out some of my customer images that I've uploaded.

The Sony A77V or VM DSLT Mirror Camera is now over two years old since its release. Yet it still remains one of the best sellers (like the Canon EOS 60D or Nikon D5200) in that it is a true pro-sumer bridge type camera system. This product is not a professional's grade camera, nor is it a beginners-end DSLR/DSLT type product. But what it does provide is a product that has an easy to use internal "Camera Menu" system with a host of easily selected settings, a variety of available Sony or third party Lenses to chose from, an articulating rear LCD, a top-of-Camera LCD for quick visual reference and selection of some of the more frequently utilized settings (ISO, Metering, Burst Shots Speed, type of Focusing, etc.), that is also lighted. This model also provides very high quality live action (Movie) type image capturing.When Sony purchased the Minolta and Konica Camera companies some time ago, Sony was able to combine the engineering development power of these two previous established manufacturers, plus Sony's own engineering capabilities to continually bring many of the newest engineering innovations and enhancements into the consumers market for products such as this Alpha DSLT A77. Other Sony DSLT Translucent Mirror Alpha products include: the A37, A55, A57, A65, and their newest model the A99 "Full Frame" professional grade camera. Also, Sony's DSC-HX## family series of products for those who want a higher end Point & Shoot with high zoom capability have enabled outstanding results in products such as their:(HX9, HX20, HX30, HX50, HX200, HX300, etc.).The Sony DSLT Alpha Series with its Translucent Mirror technology has eliminated the "reflexing" mechanical mirror that all DSLR cameras otherwise have. Thus the image you see through the A77's "Electronic Viewfinder" or "Live View" LCD is the same image you will capture for viewing or printing, and allows easy access to the Camera's (28.2mm diag.) APS-C Sensor itself if cleaning is needed. Not having a mechanical moving mirror also eliminates wear from physical movement over time, and potential repairs.This Sony A77 and A99 are the only Alpha's that have a Magnesium Metal Frame underneath their plastic outer covering - thus this camera is no lightweight item to carry around, but it is strong and very solid. You can, or may have already, read its "detailed features and specifications", thus this review is intended to help provide insight to the reader from a slightly different perspective. It is a straight forward powerful well made camera that will fulfill all your user desires and needs.As an additional comment, I am NOT a professional photographer, just a retired person who is a hobby enthusiast level photographer who primarily takes Wildlife and Landscape photos, who also utilizes Canon and Nikon higher end P&S and DSLR type products with various Lenses and Accessories (you know, the type of guy whose wife is ready to disown him because of being a Camera junkie). But, the point herein is that nearly "all" of todays quality name brand camera products will perform nicely, some better than others under varying conditions, such as: (image color, image capturing speed, internal image processing under various lighting conditions) and ability to capture "quality" images under poor lighting being the most prevalent concern, with a host of other detailed techno pros & cons that professionals or more detailed enthusiasts consider when selecting and using a camera.There are of course numerous other brands of Camera products currently offered, and products from Canon, Nikon, Fuji, Olympus, and others may be the right brand and model offering for you. However, this Sony A77 is an excellent choice for those desiring high quality equipment, yet do not need, or perhaps can not afford to have a professional grade very expensive product. Hope this helps others in their decision processes.

Just a quick warning before you read, I am well educated in photography thanks to YouTube and flickr forums... :-)I will update this review as I go along but after this first picture outing I have come to the conclusion that I must be doing something wrong here cause I know this camera has to take better pictures then what i witnessed on my laptop today.Eee gads... 70% of the pics were out of focus and the rest that were in focus were overexposed terribly. A few seemed exposed OK but they just didn't look right. I'll give the camera the benefit of the doubt cause it was a cloudy day and I had ISO up at 1600 at times, mosly 800 though to get fast action shots of seagulls being fed by some kids.My settings were:Vivid picture mode (+1 sharpness)Autofocus with 18-135 lens - SONYWhite Balance was Cloudy DayI didn't set exposure comp so it was 0I was zoomed out at about probably 100 + mm most of the time.I noticed a few times the high speed multi picture rate stopped after a few pics, maybe my card isn't fast enough, I have a new one on order.One other thing i noted was the OLED viewfinder went black when I put my eye up to it after looking at the LCD. I had to pull back and then reset my eye on viewfinder and then it was ok.Other then that this camera is built like a tank and has some great picture features. Ergonomics are great also and button placement is easy to access for changing settings.I have been doing some research on the web a day or two after I wrote the above information and I see some forums about people having issues with autofocusing for action photography but i also see some spectacular shots of people who have had success with this camera. A good thing is they included some settings for how they took these pictures and I am going to apply them the next time i go out and shoot. People seem to have good results using spot metering with single point focus in continuos focus mode which i did not have set. I think i had auto focus with all the focus points (wide area) in play so it probably picked the wrong focus point with the type of shots i was aking. With birds flying all over they are going in and out of the viewfinder and it is probably getting confused at which focus point to select, my guess or I am picking the wrong time to release the shutter. I have a 300mm SONY zoom on order and will try that one also.If anyone could help here i would appreciate it, I will update the star rating as i use and test out some more this week. I'm not giving up on this camera.** Update January 19, 2013 **I have been getting more used to this camera as i go along. One thing I would like to recommend to anyone new to this camera is get to know your focus options really well. I found that taking the Wide area focus point out of the picture and using spot focusing or either Local (zone focusing) is the key. I did some test portrait shots and noticed the pictures were a tad out of focus. I did have spot focusing on but i also had face detection on cause I noticed that the squares in the camera LCD would track my face when i came into view. This is cool but it doesn't give you the sharpest focus. Well maybe it does for smaller apertures but in my case I was using a 1.8 50mm lens. When i took off face detection and focused like a laser at the eye of the person in the portrait, Bam! crystal clear when zoomed all the way in. What a difference. So keep that in mind.A couple things i am still noticing is the OLED when I look at the LCD fast and look back at the OLED sometimes it boes black, a quick pull away from the camera and back to the OLED and it's fine. I think they still need to speed that feature up. No biggie just have to adjust to it.One other thing i also noticed is that autofocus on a few of my lenses seems to hunt a little more then i would like to see. It doesn't pick up focusing quick in some situations. Noticed this on a couple lenses but all in all i do love the camera.Noise issues?Also a quick note on image quality/noise for the pictures this camera takes. I have seen a lot of reviews and comments in user forums about the lack of quality over 1600 ISO. I did a few test shots at ISO 3200 with this camera and the D7000. Let me tell you that the Nikon is way way better at higher ISO's without any noise reduction applied. Now.. hold off from posting the A77 on EBAY, you can make an adjustment or two that will help here. 2 options you have are: Change the settting in the menu (High ISO Noise reduction) to High and this will help some. The other option is to use the High ISO noise reduction option that's part of the ISO setting (when you change ISO sensitivity from the LCD). Below ISO 50 there is an option that will say High ISO Noise Reduction, use this and take a picture in low light. It will take a few pics quickly, process and spit out a picture. The quality is actually pretty good, it came extremely close to the High ISO picture quality king (D7000). I was pretty satisfied. I think you shouldn't have to
