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
EVF struggles a bit in very high-contrast scenes, Noisier images than some competing cameras when shooting in low light at higher ISOs, Default magnification for instant review not user-configurable
Excellent still and video quality, Terrific OLED viewfinder, 12 fps shooting
Bulky, expensive, Noisy at higher ISOs
Although on the expensive side, the Sony SLT-A77 is one of the best DSLRs we've reviewed in the past year or so. The combination of high-quality stills and excellent video – without focusing hassles – takes this camera to Editor's Choice status. The cam...

Excellent image and video quality, Ridiculously fast, Fantastic kit lens, Built-in GPS, Superior Live View and autofocus performance
Inferior low-light performance, Lens ecosystem lags Canon and Nikon, EVF isn't as good as an OVF, Mediocre battery life

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...
