The editors liked
Image quality is excellent. We used the Carl Zeiss 24–70mm lens which is ruinously expensive ($2214) and absolutely sublime
Optically and mechanically. Video quality is the best we have had from a DSLR and the continuous autofocus tracking
Controlled by
24.3MP
Noise under control
AF Range control
Articulating screen
The Sony Alpha a99 SLTA99V has a lot going for it
Including excellent photos and very good video
A wellconstructed and welldesigned body
Solid performance
And a great feature set.
The editors didn't like
The electronic viewfinder is a 2.4m dot screen
But it still has the feeling of looking at the subject on television
Unlike the traditional mirror/prism viewfinder that is unbeatable for realism
AF slower than rivals'
Poor noncross type AF
Object Tracking mode is limited

Poor battery life
And compromises on video autofocus may not be reasonable tradeoffs
