A well-designed camera that's enjoyable to shoot
Partly thanks to a great viewfinder
The fixed-mirror Sony Alpha SLT-A77V bests the competition with features like a cleverly articulated display
Built-in GPS for geotagging

Excellent build quality. Very nice kit lens. GPS built in. Excellent HD video quality

There are some annoying omissions in the A77V's feature set
Including odd limitations for raw and video shooting

High-res OLED EVF provides ultrasharp view with WYSIWYG exposure feedback, Superfast 12-fps shooting; excellent range of options for video capture, Focus magnification and/or focus peaking for manual focus
