The editors liked
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
And very good 1080/60p video
Excellent build quality. Very nice kit lens. GPS built in. Excellent HD video quality
The editors didn't like
There are some annoying omissions in the A77V's feature set
Including odd limitations for raw and video shooting
Plus battery life is subpar
Response times could be faster. Battery drains quickly
Big, bright ultra high resolution EVF, 12fps burst mode with AF, 1080p60/50 movie mode, Continuous AF in movie modes , High quality bright 16-50mm kit lens, 24 Megapixel sensor.
Limited exposure control at 12fps, Limited movie AF with Manual exposure, Poor menu layout and organisation, Poor battery life compared to a DSLR.
how does the A77 compare to rival models? Compared to Canon EOS 7D Sony's Alpha SLT-A77 sits between the Canon EOS 60D and EOS 7D in pricing, but is arguably pitched more against the latter in features, so that's what I'll compare it ...

Excellent kit lens. High-resolution sensor. Fast burst shooting. Good high ISO performance. 1080p60 video with autofocus. Crisp OLED EVF. GPS.
Recovery time needed after burst shooting. No optical viewfinder. Proprietary hot shoe
The Sony Alpha 77 pumps out 24-megapixel stills at 10.3 frames per second and records 1080p60 video with continuous autofocus. Solid low-light performance, a sharp f/2.8 kit lens, a high-quality OLED EVF, and GPS capability round out the package....
After spending a week with this camera there really is very little to dislike and a whole lot to love. Other than an LCD that picks up finger prints easily, a video record button that could be better placed and a non-standard hot shoe, the A77 offers ...
The Sony A77 is a big leap forward for Sony's DSLR range, offering a feature-set, handling and performance that beats its main rivals. The new 24.3 megapixel sensor offers greatly increased resolution without impacting on low-light performance or oper...
Abstract: Review units for Sony's long-anticipated replacement for the A700, the Sony A77, have finally made it to UK shores, although the worst flood disaster to strike Thailand for 50 years has hampered the camera's official release into the market.Scanning the A...
Quality: Close to top level DSLR.Why you'd buy the Sony SLT-A77: big, big 6000×4000 pixel stills; 12fps ability; terrific movie mode; top drawer exposure modes; you want to explore high end photography without the tech tangles of a high end camera (like t...
Ultra fast performance, Intuitive operation, classtopping specification
EVF not for everyone, slow startup and relatively poor battery life
The Alpha A77 is a fantastic piece of kit that's dripping with a host of features to keep the serious photographer happy. The OLED EVF is the best example we've ever seen, allowing you to just get on and shoot and not be irritated by it. There'll be ti...

Abstract: The other guys should be worriedWhen we named Sony's Alpha 55 Camera of the Year last year , we didn't expect that the company would come along with a model like the new Alpha 77. In addition to the benefits we loved in the A55, such as full-time phase-de...

So the Alpha A77 may not be a DSLR, but that fact shouldn't deter anyone seeking a versatile interchangeable-lens camera from checking it out. The sum of its parts is a "not a DSLR" to get very excited about, as it seems to cover more ground than any ...
