I upgraded from a Sony A230 to this camera and have not been disappointed. Many of the controls, menus, and features are the same so it is an easy transition. I am still learning to use it but so far I am happy I made the upgrade. As an amateur photographer, this camera will meet all my needs in the foreseeable future.

Love this camera, It takes amazing pictures. Not a full frame camera but definitely has the pop I need for family and landscape photography. If you are looking for professional results and not the price I recommend you take a look and see for yourself.There are plenty of reviews on youtube if you are considering purchasing this item.Sony also has an excellent selection of lenses to compliment this camera.

Over the years I have been a loyal Sony DSLR camera owner and avid user. Other owners have given great detailed technical reviews so I will not be repetitive. I own the Sony Alpha A330 10.2 MP Digital SLR Camera with Super SteadyShot INSIDE Image Stabilization (Body)Sony a330 and the Sony Alpha DSLR-A550 14.2MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)Sony a550 camera bodies as well. I was considering switching to Canon or Nikon because of their massive lens selections. I own a few Sony G Series lenses and three Zeiss lenses. When you couple them with this new a77 it is an amazing package and will compare evenly and in some cases outperform both Nikon and Canon. I am a wildlife and nature/landscape photographer. I am very active in the field never sitting still and always moving. The feature that I love the most about the Sony is the built in image stabilizer in the camera. I very seldom use a tripod as I want to be able to move and hike freely. I couple the a77 with the Sony SAL70400G 70-400mm f/4-5.6 G SSM Lens, Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 SSM Lens for Sony Alpha Digital SLR Camera or the Sony 24 -70mm f/2.8 Carl Zeiss Vario Sonnar lensSony 24 -70mm f/2.8 Carl Zeiss Vario Sonnar T Zoom Lens for Sony Alpha Digital SLR Cameras. When I use the 400mm lens at full zoom and no tripod the images come out crystal clear with no noise and vibrant colors. Even when I attach the Sony 2x teleconverter their is still no noise distortion and very sharp images. The HD video is a wonderful feature which I also use. I would personally add the Sony vertical grip with a hand grip when you use larger lenses in the field. Makes for a more stabile ensemble. I was recently in Alaska for a 10 day photo expedition through Denali and Katmai National Parks. I took over 2,000 photos each day. I visited with numerous photographers on my journey and I would take my personal bag of equipment made up of Sony over their's any day. I look forward to upcoming rumored Sony equipment.

This feels like a camera twice the price and the 16-50mm 2.8 lens is outstanding. You can go all automatic or all manual or any combination in-between. It is water resistant with this lens and that is a big factor. Take the time to learn this camera it is worth the effort. Very good in low light and very high quality video as well. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

I have previously owned (and still have) a couple of A700's, had a A100, and used a lot of Nikons, Canons, Olympus etc. over the years. Many of those cameras were great machines and I shot thousands of pictures with them. Sometimes you find a camera that seems to take great pictures every time you press the shutter release, this is one of those cameras. I have had the camera for about a month and haven't had a single disappointing shot. I was worried about noise having read some reviews that downgraded the camera because of alleged issues. Shouldn't have worried. Yes there is noise ( all digital cameras have it) in high ISO shots but shooting RAW and a quick once over in Lightroom easily renders very clean pictures. So, noise addressed, what else? The control set up of the camera while not as great as the A700 is still very well thought out and the basic functions are easy to manage. It's a good thing too as there are a ton of possibilities for set up and use of the camera. It is difficult to imagine anything that might be missing. That said, if one is not up for playing with the vast selection of controls, setting the camera to Auto or Auto+ will do it all for you. Finally, the addition of HD video on top of the stills capability is just frosting on the cake. I am very pleased with the camera and can find nothing much that I would do differently. If you are serious about shooting high quality stills and video, want a DSLR for a reasonable price and are not intimidated by Canon/Nikon snobs this camera is really worth considering.

Upgraded my A350 and LOVE this camera! Wish I could have afforded the A99 right now, but maybe by next year. I know most people go with Cannon or Nikon, but this girl has been a Minolta/Sony girl since the 80's. Their equipment has never let me down - and some times it's taken quite a beating. (not this camera, but past ones)As for all the programed options. I can't comment on those as I always have it in manual unless I'm handing it to someone who doesn't know how to use a DSLR. Love how everything is set up within an area that allows me to hit buttons without looking at the back. Love the video - it comes out perfect! Love the Live View through viewfinder too. Nice upgrade!One of the options that I've completely fallen in love with is the af/mf button on the back. It allows me to hand hold the camera, auto focus on the subject, press the button, and move to adjust my scene.Haven't tried out the 3D panorama option yet, but looking forward to.I love Minolta. I love Sony. Their camera products have NEVER failed me.

I purchased this camera to shoot wedding video's because of it's superior focusing system. I shot several stills as well, and found that the images equalled or exceeded the quality of images shot with my Canon 5D MKII with L Series lenses. The only department this camera falls short in is it's limited capacity to shoot in low light. It will still focus very well in low light, but the images/video become very grainy. Images are equal to or slightly better than 5D MKII at 100 ISO and stay really good till about 800 ISO. After 800 ISO image quality starts degrading slowly till 1600 ISO which is the last usable ISO setting with acceptable results. The camera does have an option to shoot high quality pictures at even 6400 ISO, but the render time is very long. But it is great to have this option. Because of the extensive electronics, there is a lot of drain on the battery, so a spare battery is a must if you shoot professionally. Sony's 'Steady shot' is definately superior and more affective than Canon's 'Image stabalizer' and Nikon's 'Vibration reduction' technology. The electronic OLED True Viewfinder is amazingly accurate and can be switched off to work as a conventional viewfinder. The built in special effects are very interesting and a real Bonus. Everytime I pick up the camera and hit the FN button, I discover someting new. This camera has by far exceeded my expectations, and is priced reasonably. This is not like a conventional DSLR, it is totally new technology, redesigned from scratch. I have been shooting professionally for 30 years and have used all kinds of camera's in different formats, made by different manufacturer's and I would highly recommend this camera for Business or pleasure.

The frame burst rate is awesome at 12 fps, the build quality is high, focusing is fast, images are sharp with quality lenses, the OLED eye finder is great in all but super bright high contrast environments and the beat goes on. It has about a dozen small imrovements over the Alpha 65 but is well worth the $200 dollar difference in price. The biggest down side is the weak performance at high ISO numbers. I would give it a 9 out of 10.

I switched from Canon to Sony and really happy. One feature that is really missing is to control the camera from a PC through USB. I was under the impression that every semi-professional camera has this feature and was slightly disappointed when I found out that the A77 does not support this. I was looking to control the camera through my PC (and ideally with a tablet) for video but also for night shooting photos.I contacted Sony and they responded that they might add this feature in a future release if more customers are interested. If you do not need this feature I would give 5 points - for me it is somewhat important and therfore only 4 points.In case you are missing this feature as well, just send a note to Sony - it might help.

This camera is amazing, the features that are packed into it are outstanding. There is a setting for every situation, even when taking photos at night without a tripod or a flash, will result in a beautiful image. Used this at school, and in Europe, I have over 10,000 accusations so far and everything is working perfectly. Battery life is good, video is good, sam lens is amazing, evf is amazing. BUUUUTTTTT the icing on the cake is that it is water resistant, I took shots of a massive storm that flooded Chicago and it worked like a charm. I have owned many cameras and functions for dollar there is nothing better in the market. Lots of lenses, and continued support from sony, 3 software updates thus far, each one adding more function and speed to the UI. No more Nikon for me.

Using canon for long time , seeing this camera in a store really change my mind to try sony .So I sold my canon gears and bought a77 with 16-50mm 2.8 lens.Since then almost five months has gone im in love with this camera because, for the money you will get a lot of technology packed feactures which I never found on either Canon or Nikon Dslrs.If you are a casual user dont buy this camera ,instead go for sonys a57 that also a amazing camera for the money.A77 is a game changer for those who loves photography and have patience to spend time to learn & practice this cameras features.I spend alot of time practicing low light photos and has got amazing results.It is a great competitor for Canon & nikon.Video performance is far better than its competitors. The downside is the lens selection and the avaliable lens are pretty expensive for people like me.I hope sony will introduce an all in one lens 18-300mm range with an affordable price like the Nikon did. If sony release such I will never look back to another brand for rest of my life.

I bought this camera as an upgrade for my Sony A700 (badly dated) and this camera is a very good, but too long delayed, replacement for the A700.I do wildlife photography and sports photography as hobbies, so this review will only touch on those uses. I absolutely love the improvement I have gotten in my wildlife pictures. The focusing is faster and sharper, the colors seem more true, and the transition from 12MP to 24MP makes a tremendous difference in my ability to crop images (most animals still refuse to walk up to me) and still have a quality photo. There is a night/day difference between the quality of pictures I take with this camera and pictures I took with the A700.I am disappointed with this camera's usefulness for sports. The quality of pictures I obtain is either excellent or worthless. Some reviewers love the electronic viewfinder and it does give you a better idea of how the camera sensor is "seeing" the scene. However it is slow when following rapid sports action, and the viewfinder stutters (i.e. it shows still shots of previous pictures or just shows a black screen for a fraction of a second) when taking a continuous series of pictures. This is very frustrating when I am trying to follow an athlete who is chasing a ball. It is very difficult to keep a player in focus if I cannot see them and do not know exactly where they are. The manufacturer is justifiably proud of offering a camera that can shoot 12 frames per second (only in aperture priority mode) and I really wanted that level of capture speed to allow me to get better pictures of bats meeting balls etc.. The only time you need 12 fps is when you are photographing a rapidly moving object, which is the time you will not be able to consistently see that object in the viewfinder:(The "Sports Mode" is unusable in my opinion. You cannot employ spot focus in Sports Mode, and consequently the camera tries to average the focus between the athlete you are trying to photograph and all the players, officials, coaches, birds, stands, water coolers, etc., that you do not want to focus on. It is not that difficult to employ manual settings, but why would you make a camera with a Sports Mode that assumes everything you can see is equally interesting to you?I love that I am getting great images and am able to get some shots I could not get before. I hate that I am missing some shots that used to be much easier to obtain. This camera has many great qualities and I will continue to use it, but is does make sports photography more difficult.

This is a well-reviewed camera in many quarters. I'll second that! Sony has done some truly innovative things with this camera. If you're a Canon or Nikon loyalist, this camera is not for you. Move on and spare the rest of us your scowls and needless pity. We know you're just secretly bummed that you bought in on their gear all these years and can't fathom starting over. And that the idea of SLT is killing you right now. I'm confident Canon and Nikon appreciate your letters.But if you're relatively flexible on your brand loyalty and your budget. And if you're looking for an alternative that scratches some of the innovation itches that the rest of us crave in the overall user experience of photography, this one deserves a hard look. The sheer volume of features, flexibility, and quality construction of this model is nothing short of stunning. Depending on your budget this one may or may not seem affordable to you. I would say, though, that for the price there may be no camera that gives you more for your money.I'm not a pro by any stretch, but I have been classically trained in using Aperture priority. I value having a versatile articulating LCD screen to help me frame up unusual shots. And, most importantly, I'm happy to say this camera makes me want to take it out an use it and learn more. Perhaps that's the best measure of a great camera overall.

Although the A77 terrific and innovative in many ways and on many levels, this note concerns itself with some of the things that it does poorly.In less than optimal light or when photographing moving subjects, I prefer to shoot in Shutter Priority with Auto-ISO. This allows me to absolutely control my shutter speed while compensating for low light by increasing aperture and when the lens runs out of F-stop pick up the remaining exposure compensation with an increase in ISO. This will give the best exposure (as long as depth of field is not a consideration), by eliminating camera shake, freezing subject movement and adding only the absolutely necessary amount of induced ISO noise. When shooting with the 16-50mm F2.8 lens in Shutter Priority and Auto ISO (or Multi-Frame Auto ISO) the software will NOT allow the lens to go below F4.0. This means that as the light is decreased the camera will begin to increase the ISO at F4.0 and never go to F2.8. So you've paid big bucks for a lens that opens to F2.8, carried its extra weight around and then can't open the lens more than F4.0(When shooting in shutter priority).The HDR and "Multi-Frame-Iso Noise Reduction" give excellent results. However, when used, there is a significant post shooting processing time during which the camera is non-responsive. The camera will not allow you shoot for about 7 seconds after HDR processing and 9 seconds after using Multi-Frame-Iso Noise Reduction. Just hold your breath and count to 9 as that lion opens wide and roars at the setting sun.With previous cameras, I preferred to show a 2 sec "after review" on the monitor screen. I didn't always refer to it, but it was there if I needed it. If you set the A77 to "after review" and you are looking through the viewfinder, you are blind for about 3 seconds. (About a 1 second "processing" message and then 2 seconds of the past). You can clear this with a tap on the shutter, but this is an extra step and if you are taking multiple images of the same scene, it is easy to become confused if you are looking at the past or present. It would seem like a simple programming task to show the "after review" only on the monitor, and not in the viewfinder.Am I going to keep it? Yes. I decided that the good outweigh these negatives and hopefully the clever people at Sony will be able to make these problems disappear with a software revision.

Great camera with a ton of features for the price. I am a somewhat experienced amateur photographer. My last camera was the Sony Alpha, which I loved and used for many years happily. When this new camera came out last year, though, I had to get one and I am not sorry! It is easy to set up and use and the picture quality is amazing with the new sensor. Also, the customizable displays make it even easier to use. I love the LCD screen on the back that can be rotated to any position. It works beautifully well with all of my newer Sony lenses and my older Minolta lenses. It has taken my long time hobby to that "next level"!

Enough has been said about this camera, so I'll keep it brief.Most of the issues people have with this camera might exist, but they aren't problems.The EVF does have too much contrast and loses detail in the shadows...but it shows you actual exposure performance. It's a fair trade in my book. Makes spot metering (for blue skies, for instance) a MUCH easier proposition.In the actual image, the details that WILL show up in the shadows do show a bit of noise, even at ISO 100. (At least it does with JPG and DRO turned on. With RAW and no DRO, you may get cleaner shadows, but they'll probably have less detail. I haven't bothered to shoot RAW yet, since I like DRO).But, it's very pleasing noise. You can leave it in, or take it out. With 24mp to work with, it probably won't show up anyways in your output. I shoot ISO 3200 without a problem.I compared it to medium format digital at base ISO. Yes, the medium format back was much cleaner in the shadows. But it has a sensor 4 times as big, with 1/4 the gain, capturing 16 TIMES as much light. Kinda stands to reason, doesn't it?By analogy, the A77 is like shooting 200ISO negative C-41 film, versus 50ISO slide film on the digital back. The digital back gives you better results in perfect conditions, but the A77 gives you better (and faster and easier) results the other 90% of the time. Yes, it has all the detail, and no blown highlights, and 12 fps, and it's lighter, and takes movies, and is cheaper...need I go on?Don't let the smooth taste fool you. The A77 does everything an APS-C camera can do for you, and then some. To get much better, you'll have to go full frame.

I have owned several DSLRs over the years. The Konica-Minolta Maxxum 7D, Sony A100, Sony A350, and now the Sony A77. In the short time I have used it, I am greatly impressed. I shot a couple of local high school football games at night under the field lights. To get a decent shutter speed for freezing the action under these lights, a high ISO is needed. With my Sony A350, I shot at either 1600 or 3200 ISO. With the A77, I was shooting at 6400 and 12800 ISO. There is a fair amount of noise in these images, but given the 24 MP sensor, not as much as you might think. Adobe Lightroom was able to reduce the noise to acceptable levels without much image deterioration. One issue I found was that if you shoot under field lights at high ISOs with the white balance set to Auto, colors can vary greatly. This can be corrected, but it takes a bit of work. It is best to shoot with a constant white balance setting. Even so, I still found a bit of color variation when shooting well lit areas of the field vs shooting in less well lit areas. In daylight shooting with lower ISOs, colors were incredibly good, even with auto WB. One minor issue I found was that my images using a Sony 18-250mm lens had chromatic aberration more often than in my other cameras using this same lens. I believe this is due to the much higher resolution of the sensor being able to register small amounts of chromatic aberration that other lower resolution sensors could not register. I have found that a simple click of the Remove Chromatic Aberration check box in Lightroom takes care of this problem when it occurs.

The a77 Camera and 2.8 16-50mm lens package is outstanding. I moved up from an a57 (which I love) to the a77 with the Sony 16-50 lens and could not be more pleased. The camera is packed with features, controls are intuitive. The lens is fast, focuses quickly and the photos produced are sharp. Overall weight is reasonable and do not believe you can ask for a better APS-C camera. Buy the kit - you won't be sorry!
