Pros: Sensor quality at low iso, tropicalization, both standard and non-standard burst, many options, good hdr and dro that churns out nice jpegs, good oled viewfinder and fully articulated screen, good grip both with and without bg

Cons: Autonomy, honestly the thing I regret most is the buffer of the raw and jpeg but by further lowering the quality of the file you can make bursts of 36 jpegs safely which is a relative problem, as said by others I found only a small bug in the firmware but fixed later

Opinion: For me the Sony a77 is a wonderful slt that represents the top of the apsc format between modern reflex and mirrorless technology, the pleasant grip, the viewfinder and display make it a high-performance camera that at the time of its release was defined futuristic and today practically "normal", too bad only for the buffer a bit disappointing but I understand that processing 24megapixel files requires a nice powerful processor that at the time only flagships had, with the right Zeiss and Sony G lenses it churns out beautiful photos, highly recommended for me

Pros: iso 50, excellent focus even with little light, tested even in pitch dark, thanks to its illuminator af .. speed compared to the cheapest slt , wonderful viewfinder , fine adjustment af ... weight.. low iso sensor quality .. first electronic shutter curtain that guarantees 0 moved at night on tripod .. 1/8000s .. real and working gps .. 12 frames per second that can be set in a breath from the ring... automatic functions to iosa .. and very comfortable also present on the nex

Cons: castrated firmware , in fact for example does not allow you to disable noise reduction even on raw , photos in extrafine jpeg only in jpeg mode .. noise not so annoying but its reduction not deactivatable makes the photos from 800 iso onwards watercolors .. even with the raw that was almost useless .. delicate stabilizer , build quality of its painful electronics.. in fact I have desoldered the processor for defective soldering.. and on the minolta sony club forum I found out that it wasn't just my problem.. stabilizer on the sensor that does not stabilize before shooting by blocking the maf ..

Opinion: the stabilizer was the exact same as the A55 .. in fact when mine broke I took that of the A55 to which he had given the shutter and I changed it on the a77 .. https://postimg.cc/gallery/87Pc5zY .... it still works.. at one point I had 2 .. one of these pulled green lines until it no longer showed a tube .. And I found out that it had the processor desoldered as it happens to laptop video cards.. stuff you can't believe.. yet despite the serious flaws for me ... I would still include it ... it is the reflex (or rather Slt, not really reflex) that you miss even when you are using a 7D .. you had many limits to get around.. yet you took the photos home anyway.. too bad only for the noise reduction on the raw not deactivatable..

Pros: constructive-price-quality in used as image- yield up to 1600ISO- stabilizzatore- electronic-magnification viewfinder mirino- stabilizer

Cons: term bacteremia availability optical usate- slide minolta.

Opinion: After a few months of use and some serious service brought home I can express myself on this by the astonishing body macchina.rnrnPartiamo against: the first thing is the battery life that varies from 450 to 600 shots (I did sports photos in a volleyball tournament and after 650 shots I still had 30% charge while in other cases after 450 shots was dry) thing solved with the purchase of a battery grip which increases durability and above all makes the body more stabile.rnaltro point against machine the sled flash minolta which is a bit traballante.rnrnper regarding the pros we would have to write a casino. first of all the OLED viewfinder that is fantastic in both the Manual Focus thanks to colored piping that is created around the subject in focus. The picture quality is really very good and you can recover both burned areas shaded areas without much trouble. rnSi says he does not have a great resistance to noise but to be honest I quietly took up to 1600 ISO exposing to the right and the result is always eccezzionale.rnL'AF is very good with a very good copertura.rnrnQuesto camera body to my mind is a body that can be used for years without problems both for good weather sealing for both versatilità.rnrnUtilissimo as always the inner stabilizer body macchina.rn

Pros: Build quality, af, versatility, image quality at low ISO, stabilized sensor, tilt monitor in high resolution, price (today) to be used.

Cons: Yield from 800 up in dimly lit situations less than the more modern competition, af in video if it is set to automatic exposure obliges ... Absurd !!!

Opinion: Great car, I own more than a year, purchased used with already 2 years of life took me in a thousand different situations, very well built, resistant to everything, versatile for every situation, the electronic viewfinder is a pleasure, the Af really quick and easy to impostare.rnL'unico weak point is the yield at high iso MA when compared to its contemporary machines APSC and resizing the file at the same resolution for me if they're playing with everyone. It should be combined with its 16-50 f2.8 and maybe vg original with the flash in 60, a workhorse.

Pros: AF speed, body building, electronic viewfinder, articulated display (in macro is a boon), stabilization super!

Cons: none but the tightness at high ISO! even though I took in concert to ISO 2500 with excellent results

Opinion: I own this beautiful body by June 2013, and now I can speak from experience causa.rnTroppo undervalued and criticized my parere.rnla icing on the cake is the technology translucent or absence of the mirror that allows you to preview the exposure and BW in electronic viewfinder before shooting! then in terms of oxen is hard but would be hard pressed any optical viewfinder aps-c.rnrnIl display with 3-jointed arm movements is an incredible boon and allows you to avoid cartwheels and somersaults to see the Live View when doing macro positions " extreme "rnrnUn other neo as mentioned by my predecessors is the world Optics very difficult to find used not so much new but the wallet suffers! rnPer one that circles the lenses used sony may consult the MSC Forum Photo Forum dedicated to Sony-Minolta. rnrnBrava Sony, however, do not stop!

Pros: Speed ??'and managing files with ease' of use. Excellent GPS and 'tropicalizzata.Rispetto alpha 100 and the 77' another world.

Cons: High ISO still to be improved but no aps holds' quality at high ISO. This body consumes a lot, I suggest a spare Sony battery.

Opinion: I was amazed by this body, I have alpha 100, Canon 5d mark 2 d and 600-series lenses with Sony L.Consiglio this, in this age level with Canon and Nikon does not differ più'per quality. 'Neo remains on availability optics, are difficult to find 'new usate.rnCon imagine my Tokina ATX SD 300mm f 2.8 gave me great pictures and the body like all Sony and' stabilized not a small thing.

Pros: Fast and accurate focusing in low light, very robust, GPS, live view very articulated, stabilizer, excellent colors, sensor, sharpness, resolution, weight

Cons: in a few clicks excessive noise at high ISO, focus of a subject that you run fast meeting

Opinion: I had the Alpha 100, 700 and 900 (which I still have). With this model Sony has made a lot of progress than older models. The 77 for those who have already had Sony has no secrets and 'easy to use and very light to carry around with a high quality' image, combined with a 16/80zeiss 70/300G and 50 macros you have infinite potential ' to carry around everywhere with a weight contenuto.Il electronic viewfinder does not make me regret the optical viewfinder exceptional 900. Battery life and 'acceptable I have three but rarely reached the end of one, also because' not about the time the images scaattate. With 77 images you can see before you capture in the viewfinder or monitor, you can have all the information, only the image, the bubble (for those who have a tendency to hang like me and 'very useful) in the histogram directed to seek or avoid the peaks of light and shadow. Then the focus swift and precise with those who use the 70/400G know what parlo.rnQuando I bought was a little hesitant but now I am very happy with my 77. Regarding the ISO I upto 1000 ISO shots I made very beautiful and detailed than I dare not even always try to stay below 800. But for shots that do not require the detail you can 'push well beyond 1600 just to have the foresight to send the curve of the histogram to the right say to limit the highlights to lighten the shadows. This eliminates a lot of noise and 'always present in dark areas.

Pros: ergonomics, speed AF, Live View, face detection and tracking objects very fast and precise. swiveling display, video with fast and reliable fire even in low light.

Cons: only acceptable noise up to ISO 1600.

Opinion: purchased to replace my old a350 I found the A77 camera very ergonomic and highly customizable. rnAl of the of the 12 frames per second, and the 24 megapixel data that leave the time they find, I felt great satisfaction OLED viewfinder and Face detection.rnInfatti, you can specify a priority of the faces, so it if the room is a face in the scene, prioritizes, however, the AF for that face, even Exposure and white balance are adjusted on the face in focus. A very nice feature, which helps me a lot of work to photograph eventi.rnLa shutter speed is very high, but her bounds. say it is more useful to make still images of a moving object in front of us, not one that runs towards us. I made great shots of basketball players during the jump. in football as the results were poor ... rnrnNel macro this camera is simply unique! plant the tripod, turn the display as desired, set manual focus and takes advantage of the focus peacking abinato preview. Withouthaving to lie down, crouching etc to look at the screen! a garanzia.rnrnAd However, the one that remains is unsurpassed in video functions. no matter how importarernsono went around at night, with the 16-80 zeiss. choosing the "zone" of fire right, center, left, is practically possible to film ognicchè with autofocus at night. rnrnl'unico compromise is the noise level to the high iso.rnaccettabili up to 1600. well, for me, is an "emergency". rnrnInoltre the battery has a limited life. especially if we consider that the same battery in my old a350 lasted a whole week ... rnqui we are at the limit of the morning .... rnrnrnrnrnrn

Pros: body tropicalized / sensor stabilized / folding screen that does not require protection / balancing of the lights in areas of strong contrast / resolution

Cons: less effective as a detail of sony nex 7 / want good objective (Zeiss) to make the best

Opinion: 2B better metering + improved autofocus (like precision than d7000) + + electronic viewfinder system evolved mf (peacking focus + zoom (x5.9 ex 11!) Both in live view that especially in the OLED viewfinder) + boken and three-dimensional shooting + camera body tropicalized (compared to d7000) + + + resolution for the gas sensor dynamic range comparing the machines both for direct use in a few months for prolonged tests (canon 7d), I can say that the A77 is a great camera and for my type of photography than canon and nikon. the overall yield is very good with some flaws due both to the higher resolution, that the film on the sensor causing a loss of light with consequent increase of noise compared to a classical reflex. The transition from nikon or canon sony, it may appear to many as an absurd choice, but if done with awareness of the strengths and weaknesses you will be surprised and impressed by these machines. the worst problem that I find the systemsony lenses, is the lack of an optical quality that covers the wide-angle focal about 10 mm. the kit lens 16-50 2.8, coupled with the a77 provides good results but it's not a lens G kit, let alone a Zeiss.
