I am thrilled with my purchase. Buying a camera of this quality online makes me a nervous wreck. The seller described the Sony very well, and the item arrived 15 days earlier than promised. The camera was well-protected, arrived in its original box with all box candy. Included was a charged battery, the original charger, a cover over the lens opening, the manual and the original unused strap. The camera had been carefully used, with tiny scratches in unimportant places with no signs of misuse. My original a55 died a horrible premature death, and rather than trying to repair it, I upgraded with the pre-used a77 at a great price.With each Amazon purchase, I relax a little more at the prospect of future deals I can take advantage of! Thanks to all the sellers I have had the pleasure to work with!

I have bought many Sony products. But those were the days when Sony meant quality.This one I ordered directly from Sonystyle.com. The sales agents who chatted asked me my experiences on DSLRs. I said 'This is my 1st DSLR'. The product came very fast. I tried 500-600 shots in 4 days in many lighting / camera setups, jpeg, raw, auto, manual, with various lenses (which give fantastic pictures in other cameras)... NOT A SINGLE PICTURE was clear. ALL the pictures were smeared, including the raw pictures. It was a DEFECTIVE unit. It is not just the compression software. The picture is bad even at unprocessed (before software) stage.How can a defective product leave Sony factory? Is it a used one? Did the sales agents cheat on me by sending me a already returned / defective item (since I told this is my 1st DSLR)? Does Sony have a second market selling factory-rejected items ?? I am getting all these suspicions. I better share with people. I have been using film cameras of very high quality for decades and I make good telescopes myself. I know a thing or two about "clear image". NO MORE SONY. PERIOD.

If you want the fighter jet of camera's, this is it. Just be prepared to study it and read up on the manual, it is a multi-layered, complex tool. This is NOT a point and shoot, it will help a seasoned photographer do anything he wants, or EASILY help the amateur get great photos.The camera has enough assets built into it to keep almost anyone interested in learning about it for a long time. I am not saying you can't turn it on and shoot with it, I am saying however that if you want to grow and learn, this camera provides so many features that it will keep you interested. I have been a photographer all my life but this camera blew me away in what it could help me achieve, photographically.A valuable photographic asset, without ANY doubt. Bottom line, you will take better photos with this, and if you take the time, you will also become a much better photographer because the camera draws you in.

Except for the Mark II, of course which is only "incrementally" better, but who's got that kind of money? Another plus for the A77 is that it still has the Minolta style hot shoe (opposite of every other camera on the planet). Got the A77 *and* the OEM battery grip for $800 ($600 off original list price) on a screaming good Amazon coupon deal plus free Prime shipping...can life get any better?!

I will summarize my thoughts for advanced DSLR users here ...- manual focusing is so much easier here compared to all others DSLRS ... thanks to focus peeking.- EVF is spectacular ... histogram tells you before you click.- back / front focusing correction for problem lenses- much more powerful in-body OIS ... 210mm shot at 1/30s was sharp!- weather sealed- multi frame noise reduction really does help! Simply Amazing to see a candle light 50mm 1/6s ISO3200 shot being smooth.- IPS quality LCD ... Very high resolution ... Can see clearly from the sides and above and below. Very useful when holding above the head. No need to pull out the LCD- works with old minoltas! My old 50mm F1.7 is amazingwide open!- works with 42mm Pentax screw mount lenses using $5 adapter. My Takumar 135mm F3.5 is stunning. Manual focus peaking assistance is something that will amaze you.- 12fps!

I'm fairly new to Photography, being more enthusiastic about it for about a year now. This review is not technical at all. I'll use Leiman terms to describe the camera.This is however my 5th DSLR in one year. I've been upgrading and keeping my cameras for about 2 - 3 months each.This one however, I might keep longer.I really think Sony made a different camera with the A77. I think Canon and Nikon are so far behind in technology and they will have now try and catch Sony. They probably have better optics but that's changing specially with Sony being influenced by Carl Zeiss.The second you put the viewfinder to your eye, you know the camera is going to give you a totally different experience. With a gyroscope telling you if your frame is crooked and with all of the information right there on the screen, the feeling is fantastic. You control aperture and speed with two separate rings and Iso right there with your fingers easily learning where to go.Then you start using the LCD that you can swivel in so many different positions. This is great for many occasions in which you can't simply throw yourself to the ground or you cannot get higher than your extended arms.The camera is really fast thanks to the Translucent Shutter and you feel it on the very first shot. Auto Focus and Manual focus, everything feels so smooth with this camera.I did get the camera with the 16-50 mm 2.8 lens which adds a big deal of weight to it. When shooting an event you'll feel tired after 3 hours holding that camera. I purchased a Kata sling to hold it below my chest with little or no effort.Overall, this is a great camera worth every penny and a revolutionary one that has led me away from looking at more expensive options. I liked it so much that I now have a little companion: a Sony Nex 6, basically the same viewfinder so I feel very used to it when I switch from one to the other.

Thiis camera has impressed me alot! Image quality is superb, no doubt! (using regular sony prime lenses and the 16-50mm kit lens)The Main focus-LOW LIGHT PERFORMANCE (JPEGs)Usually i barely shoot at iso 1600-3200, because I get to use more of continuous lighting mounted on the hot shoe when shooting in extreme low light.and thank goodness for the OLED and SLT technology, I shoot with ease, you know what you are getting instantly!Part of the reasons people experience noise even at low ISOs is failure for the camera to focus properly, even with the Nikon D600/D700- my brother has them and I compare them a lotI have shot images at ISO 1250 to 2500 and the images are sharp,(might not be as sharp as the Nikon full-frames but barely noticeable), just be sure to have adequate light signal to focus correctly, and in worst case scenario, I just remove the chroma noise in post production and images get clean back.Mind you, I always keep the Noise reduction on HIGH, Probably the new firmware has something to do with it? am not sure but so far am impressed having heard about all the SLT noise stories, this new A77 is an exception.I will see if i can upload some straight JPEGs from this camera at high ISOs.Just be sure to understand and use the camera correctly.

This camera has lot of great feature. Specially with great built quality. The price is cheaper than other semi-pro camera like Canon or Nikon. I am sure with current modern feature that all semi-pro camera should have it is more expensive. Such ISO 50, GPS are not enable for camera such as Nikon D7100.

The Sony A77 is a wonderful camera. The mirror technology and the 16-50 mm lens make for clear accurate shots. I bought the David Busch's Sony Alpha SLT-A77 Guide to Digital Photography to help me utilize this camera, a huge step up from my beloved but aged Olympus. I also bought David Busch's Sony Alpha SLT-A77/A65 Compact Field Guide to take with me in a camera case. The Sony actually has a function that tells you what each setting is for, but when I'm in the middle of trying to capture a picture I don't want to have to stop and read the view finder. The large viewfinder on back is excellent, and you can switch to the eye viewfinder. It also helps to buy a memory card that can keep up with this camera so that ever few pictures you don't have to wait while it writes to memory.The camera is large and weighs in at 6 lbs. That can become heavy when tromping through the woods or around the french quarter. it's a camera I take specifically to take pictures, as opposed to a little point and shoot I throw in my purse and take pictures of my day, food, desk , ugly shoes, etc. This is a serious camera to haul around.The pictures are high quality, the HD video is amazing. The A77 is not an intuition based camera. Out of the box it really does take great pictures, but to really utilize and work the camera to it's potential I had to play and experiment a lot, but hey, that is fun! I got great special effects, black and white, great videos. I would take the part of semi pro seriously when deciding to buy a camera. Do you need this much camera? As wonderful as it is I like the Sony Sony Alpha SLT-A57K and at about half the price, unless you're really really into photography it might be the better option.

Better than expect. Easy to work, great quality of image with minimum deformation at any situation that I have tried until now. The viewer/eyepiece is digital so we can view the effect automatically (different from the regular LCD viewer since the image appears with little adjustments). I have to say, this is nice because helps me to safe time by using coreldraw or photoshop later. Again, it different than using a regular LCD viewer (if you have a regular eyepiece, please use the eyepiece than a LCD but if you have the sony digital eyepiece you probably want to use the digital eyepiece!).I have a Nikon 5100 and this new a77, without no doubt I prefer the sony (but this is my personal opinion).

I purchased the Sony a77 about 4 weeks ago and have been enjoying all the features and the great pictures. I especially like the weather sealed body. It a great size for my big hands. I've owned several Sony cams, never really disappointed in any of them. I've also acquired the Sony SAL70400G 70-400mm f/4-5.6 G SSM Lens. This combo is my current favorite! I would recommend this camera to anyone.

I looked at cameras a long time before making a decision. For the money, I felt this was the very best option to get the features I wanted. I have been using the a77 for 14 months now, and I think Sony has done a great job with this camera to get up to speed with the big players in the category. So much thought went into the design of the camera. Sony really thought through how the user would interact with the camera, both from a hardware and software standpoint. I have no regrets with the decision I made to buy this camera. If I lost it today, I would buy another just like it.

I love Sony's new line of cameras and specifically SLT-A77. These cameras are all so feature rich that it takes a long time only to read about them in the manual. A77 has the full metal body, weather-sealing, 24MP, 12fps, and so many more features. I do not bother you here with the technical details, because I know you already have researched all the available sources; however, if you have not checked out Gary Friedman's book yet, it is worth to do so. Just the features introduction is more than 60 pages in his book, and you will learn a lot about this camera and shooting techniques.I have switched from Canon, not because of picture quality or style, but for having more in-camera features. The built quality of A77 is wonderful. From its touch and feel to the operation and looks, everything feels just right. A77 is well balanced and easy to hold. OLED viewfinder is amazing, and features like digital magnification make it easier to focus precisely. The articulated LCD makes it fun to take pictures at odd angles or high up on the tripod. The operation is smooth, and this camera delivers very nice huge pictures. On the negative side, the pictures have more grains in low-light compared to Canon, but it is not a deal breaker.I recommend getting a fast memory card and perhaps spare battery pack. I got the Sony Media 32 GB SDHC Flash Memory Card (SF32NX/TQ), but camera takes a few seconds to write each JPEG to the card. Now, I wished I got either Sony 32 GB PRO-HG Duo HX Memory Stick MSHX32B (Black) or SanDisk Extreme Pro, SDHC, UHS-1 Flash Memory Card 619659070977 for their wonderful transfer rates. I also find the batteries ran out more quickly than my Canon 30D's used to. You may need to have a spare battery pack in near future. The camera took a long time to shut itself off, but the new 1.05 firmware solved this problem. The camera is more responsive after the update.If you do a lot of family pictures, I recommend getting an IR remote. I recently got one, and it is great. I didn't get the expensive Sony Alpha RMT-DSLR1 Camera Remote (Black), and I just got the Opteka RC-3 Wireless Remote Control for Sony Alpha A33, A55, NEX-5, A230, A330, A380, A390, A450, A500, A550, A560, A580, A700, A850, A900 (RMT-DSLR1 Replacement). It has a very long range and works great with A77.I was skeptical at Sony in the beginning, but I am satisfied with my choices. Sony has done a wonderful job with this camera. In addition to the camera, I have gotten 16-50 kit lens for all-around, 35mm f/1.8 for experience, Vivitar 7mm for wide angles, and 70-300G for telephoto and candid shots. I love all of them. Granted, the quality of Sony lenses and glasses, even in the "G" series, is not yet in par with Canon "L" series, but Sony has just started the revolution, and it is admirable what they have accomplished in such a short time. If you are thinking about this camera, you will not be disappointed.

I bought my a77 14 months ago. It is a good camera and the video function is a nice touch. I have owned both Nikon and Canon DSLRs which have all lasted over the years with much more abuse. My a77 was nice enough to degrade during the end of the 1 year warranty period but I didn't send back to Sony until month 13. There is a problem with the camera's autofocus and I received a quote to repair from the authorized Sony camer repair center for a little over $500. I contacted Sony directly and they are sticking by their 1 year warranty which they are completely in their right to do. I expect more from a camera with one of the buying decisions being a more rugged body. I cannot recommend this camera based on poor quality and typical Sony customer support.If you do purchase one anyway, make sure you contact Sony immediately if it starts to act strange. I thought it might be solved by a firmware upgrade but turns out my faith in a camera that lasts longer than a year will likley cost me 1/3 of the original purchase price.I also echo some of the other reviews:-EVF is nice, but takes some getting used to. It also has a considerable lag if you move from eye piece to display on the back of the body which causes irritating delays.-Lenses are very expensive and I am struggling to find the right combination of quality and range, especially at a reasonable price compared with Canon and Nikon.-This camera simply performs horribly in low light. It is great in well lit situations, but if you move indoors at night then you better bring a flash or turn on all the lights. This is drastically different than the high end Nikons which practically have night vision.Overall I do not recommend this product. Stick with the more established players.

This was a HUGE step up from my older A100. While others may make cameras that have somewhat better specs, I had an old Minolta 35mm camera then the Sony A100. This allowed me to make a huge step up while still being able to use all my old accessories. I took a bunch of pictures on a 3 week vacation--this camera did so much better than my old one, it was incredible.If nothing else, the jpg images straight off the SD card are good enough to post online as-is. With my old camera, nothing looked decent until I tweaked the brightness, contrast, color, and sharpness. I was able to post about 1,000 pictures for friends to look at without editing them....saving the editing for the best 80-100!Well worth it!

Sony's best and most advanced APSC true DSLR - a full featured camera with many controls suited to the advanced enthusiast and professional users, yet useable by less advanced users as well with a wide variety of both manual and preprogrammed and automatic features. It is also a somewhat heavy camera to hold, but it has a nicely shaped comfortable grip for hand holding.

In my opinion this is one of the finest dslr cameras on the market today. Very affordable for all the high tech bells and whistles this thing has. Waited a long time to purchase it and im glad i waited. It meets and exceeds all my expectations that i could ask for. Very easy to use and everything i need to know to change the settings is basically right on the articulating screen whish is also very cool. I will be purchasing an instruction manual in addition to because this camera offers so much, that you really owe it to yourself to study the entire systems to get the most bang for your buck. That is also part of the fun in digital photography. The other beautiful thing about the camera is that all my old minolta gear fits and works flawlessly on the a77. Flash, lenses, remote switches, everything i have for minolta 700si 35 mm camera works on the sony. Have read a lot of reviews on the camera, more positive than negative and the negative always comes from the over expectation of the professional photography world, but this camera in sony's modest opinion is that it is a semi-professional camera so if the upper class finds a little failt in it then so what. It's an awesome camera and i would highly recmmend it to anyone who asks

The pictures are very clear and the camera is very easy to use. The camera viewers also have an alignment guide which helps make sure your pictures are straight.The continuous setting comes in handy when you have two small children and you are trying to get a good picture. Over 100 pictures in 10 minutes with multiple poses? ONE of them HAS to be good!The 3D setting seems neat, but the pictures are very hard to take without a tripod or some sort of support.
