    "The Camera Fairy blessed my porch last Friday and handed me an Amazon box which upon opening, disgorged a familiar black and orange Alpha box with my A77 body inside, safely cushioned in bubble-wrap. In addition to the charger, manuals and ads, software CD, neck strap and USB cable, there was an empty space (sadly) for the kit lens. ..."

  • They build the sensors for nikon men

  • @PhuNguyen88 it doesn't matter what brand u use if u know how to take photo... that's the fact...

  • I'm debating on getting this or the canon 5DMKii

  • @TheWutang1995 Of Course Canon 5D Mark II All The Way!

  • Would you come to a Buffet and get a Pizza or you can go straight to Pizza hut and get a Pizza ? Sony make generals electronics, but Nikon and Canon are professionals in DSLR. Thats the fact.

  • @PhuNguyen88 It doesn't matter how long someone has been doing something or if all they do is specialize in one area. If the buffet has a pizza that has toppings that the other guys charge two or even three times as much for, then I'm going for the buffet. Sony does make general electronics and yes, some of them aren't good. But Popular Photography Magazine has named a Sony camera as Camera of the Year for two years now. The a77 has been winning over critics who usually favor Canon or Nikon.

  • I love my sony a77.

  • I want!!!

    

  • Sony - get these bad boys back in stock - like you read my posts Sony....

  • @LostandFoundTravel AGREEED!

  • /watch?v=8T3Qi6ww34k for A77 Slow mo test

  • Sony is coming forward with their vast electronic knowledge. Canon and Nikon might lose their game in the Digital world of cameras.

  • Sony is sooooooooo amazing :3

    I love Sony!!

  • I really like the newer sony cameras because they are very unique and different from the competition including this a77. But I find their products are way overprice. This camera with the 16-50mm f2.8 lens costs $2000, way to much if you ask me, at least compared to Canon.

  • @Superbustr Huh??? The Canon 7d with kit is almost $200.00 more expensive than the Sony A77 with kit @ B&H, and the A77 blows the 7D out of the water. Comparing the A77 to Canon's 5DMkII would be a more fair comparison (even considering the full-frame/APS-C difference) and the 5DMkII is almost $300.00 more than the A77 FOR JUST THE BODY!

  • lol at the PS1 in the background!

  • I JUST ORDERED MINE. NOW I JUST HAVE TO WAIT.

  • @MYTOOBAD2 how is it?

  • @ProChewer460 I AM STILL HAVING SO MUCH FUN. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST CAMERAS I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE TO USE. I USE TOO SHOOT IN APERTURE MOSTLY NOW I HAVE MOVE TO MANUAL THANKS TO THE LIVE VIEW THAT'S SHOWS WHAT THE SETTINGS WILL LOOK LIKE. THIS MAY BE CHEATING FOR SOME BUT IT HELPS YOU EXPLORE SO MUCH MORE IN PHOTOGRAPHY.

    I HAVE THE 50 MM 1.4 . THIS IS JUST THE START OF MANY TO FOLLOW. I LOVE TO SHOOT IN NATURAL LIGHT AND THIS LENS IS NICE AND FAST , SHARP AND HAS GOOD COLOR.

  • I got the A77 and I love it

  • @orfljim how is the video quality? Does it overheat? I'm thinking about this camera lol! It looks AMAZING

  • dang.. sony is coming on STRONG with this one!!!

  • I have a 5d 60d and now a77 well very soon......aroused.....

  • I have a 5d 60d and not a a77 well very soon......aroused.....

  • and it's cheap!

  • OMG

  • That sony guy should speak up.

  • loose light on this camera, cuz mirror is blocking it.. Nikon n Canon still are the Top Dogs...

  • :( I want this, I love my A900 though. But with that electronic view finder, I can't use the a77 with studio lights

  • I WANT ONE.... im glad i found this before i purchased my 5D.... screw canon and nikon

  • Time to sell my t2i's

  • For those of you that already have this great camera we have posted a link to the updated version 1.03 firmware on our site. Google abetterdjandphotographer to find it!

  • We just got our A77 this morning and posted some unedited samples on our site

  • @djRINAMARIE site name?

  • Having used one, I can confirm that the image quality and ISO performance, particularly in the higher range is excellent. The viewfinder is amazing. The A77 is a really big step forward from Sony. The D7000 and 7D are also strong models, however, you always have to bear in mind the system behind the camera body. Both Canon "L" series and Nikon "G" series are exceptional quality. Sony has Zeiss and "G" lenses. Check availability and price of your ideal focal length before purchasing your camera.

  • i want the ps1 in the background!!

  • Wow @00:32 a nerd just pulled a jack move, straight up gangsta!

  • I have never been this excited for the release of a camera in all my life. I was ready to flip my lid over the A55, and rightfully so, as it has treated me SO well. However, I've flipped just about every lid I've got for this thing. This camera will be a requirement for me to LIVE after October.

  • Ok screw the olympus E-30 I WANT THIS, I FREAKING NEED THIS CAN SOMEONE PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY, I mean GET ME THIS CAMERA ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • how is the image quality of the A77 compared to the NEX 7?? which one has better image quality???

  • @simbeane You're not the only one wondering. I'm very curious how the translucent mirror will affect image quality.

  • Will be sad to see my F828 go on the shelf. Been saving for the a55 anyway.....

  • ive had the sony a55 for 1 year, and although the video side runs hot and shuts down, usually when you just need it, i will still buy the alpha a77, just hope they have sorted there shit out....

  • Hey, since you guys have the camera I need to know if it can shoot tethered?

    All posting said just about the same thing.

    Can this shoot TETHERED with Sony Remote Camera Control?

  • @alohastar the A 77 has better image quality and it records for 29mins

  • how long can you record a video with this camera ?

  • so Sony alpha 77 is faster then nex -7 but what has more better image quality such as true color and real detail ?

  • I was going to buy canon 60D this week... but i think i am going to wait a month until sony a77 arrives

  • Can EOS lenses be used on these?

  • @GanEdenAustralia

    until some guys on the internet makes a adapter than can autofocus. will be bloody expensive trust me

  • The test photos are really bad :O  In terms of photographing, not camera performance

  • I liked hearing about this camera, but not listening to the guy on the right. His voice is SO ANNOYING. The man on the left is professional and articulate; this guy on the right is a mumbler! Ugh. Get a better spokesperson, please.

  • This A77 really looks Amazing. i heard Nikon will drop the D400 after the A77 so finger cross soon we will find out what the D400 got to offer :)

  • I'm a Canon 7D shooter, I love the potential the a77 shows for wildlife and macro photography, I cant wait to see some RAWs processed through ACR and that :) Though a few JPEGs I've seen are quite good, If Sony had an AF version of the Carl Zeiss 100mm f/2 Makro-Planar, I think I might switch actually

  • ugh! decisions, decisions... pre-order this? Or wait for the next Sony FF??

  • Time is ticking on Canon and Nikon for me or I'm switching.

    I like the size of D7000

    Speed of 7D

    Built quality of 7D

    Better ISO performance than D7000

    Weather sealed as 7D

    Which the Alpha 77 has.all.

  • @TheWestSideBboy Don't forget that the 7D can actually shoot at burst for ~110 frames. The a77, at most, is about 18 frames.

  • @TheWestSideBboy I shoot semi pro, and I switched from Canon to Sony. Within a month of the switch I had a job shooting some editorial work. I am here to tell you, I was SO happy with the switch and their Carl Zeiss lenses are amazing

  • @TheWestSideBboy As much as I love the a77 (spectacular looking piece of equipment), I have to disagree on the ISO performance side. High ISO performance advantages go to D7000 for 1600 and beyond. It's expected due to pixel density of the two.

    Personally, I still feel they are lacking in the lens department. However, in time, that problem would be solved as well.

    I still can't get over how sleek the design of it is. You should definitely get it.

  • @TheWestSideBboy

    Yes, size of D7000,

    Yes, speed of 7D,

    Yes, build quality of 7D,

    No, ISO performance better than D7000

    Yes, weather sealed but D7000 also weather sealed.

    All the features u point out are mostly physical. We are talking bout a DSLR here not a joystick.

    The IQ and ISO performance of A77 is horrendous.

  • @ikki9394 My fault. I wrote that comment too fast, I was in a hurry. What i mean was I want to have a camera that has better ISO performance than D7000 without going with D3s. I own a 7D and D90, but I'm thinking about switching one of those (most likely D90)..I mostly shoot sports and wildlife (birds). So A77 seems like a good choice, but we'll see how the final product performs. I haven't made my final decision. If it perform poorly to my expectation, It's either wait for 7D mk2, or D400.

  • @ikki9394 Sony lens aren't that great compared to Nikon and Canon.

  • @Richuuuurd

    But legendary Minolta Maxxum lenses are even better than Canon and Nikon and they are fully compatible with SONY cameras! I would put my SONY A77 with our 28-135MM 1:4-4.5 head to head up against any camera and lens combo in this price range and have sharper photos with better color. We edit photos from over 200 photographers with every camera/lens combo you can imagine and none are close to what we are getting with the A77/Minolta 28-135 combo :D

  • @djRINAMARIE Thanks for the reassurance about the a77 with the KM 28-135mm. I was hesitant to use this combo at a wedding yesterday, since the 28-135 isn't my fastest lens, but it was the only one I had with a polarized filter for the super-sunny day. The results were amazing. All of my lenses are old Minoltas - they do have great color. Nice to know I'm not missing anything from Canikon, and reaffirms that I made the right decision to buy the spectacular a77!

  • @TheWestSideBboy not sure about A77 is better ISO performance than D7000 anything over 800 D7000 is better. having say that I would like to see A77 performance under weather seal test

  • @TheWestSideBboy wait till nikon improve that sensor. i thing this the reason why nikon stay quite after d7000 come out. but still nikon please have flip lcd omg only d5100 have it. while the rest of the world start to put it.

  • @Tennishead39

    any Source?

  • I hope either Nikon or Canon comes out with a new DSLR. NIKON D400? 7D MK II? Something better would be great.

  • 2000$???? i better buy a55 and a galaxy s2

  • @morkiuzz you should buy a65 not a55

  • @oceanistoosmall is there a65? i didnt know that

    

  • @oceanistoosmall yes mate it has almost all the features of a77 for a55's price! Search for it :)

  • very nice specs, now hoping the other manufacturer will come out with something better

  • amazing, 213810239 frames for second!!!!!

  • sweeeeeeeet

    

  • Comment removed

  • Amazing. I want one!

  • i wouldnt get TOO excited for this guys, if i were you i'd just wait and try it out before making any decisions

  • i guess I just need to pre-order this since it wil most likely be sold out at launch.

  • @CEOMNIMEDIA You are VERY correct! Amazing camera AND lens!

  • ....ohohohoh, this is what I been waiting for. If we wait 7 years then screew nikon and canon!

    That's old school because Sony has entered the house, and they done it badass!

  • 12fps @ 24mp that's insane!!!!!!!

  • wow, i bought my a55 3 months ago and wish i had waited!

    is it just me that thinks sony are really catching up with nikon and canon??

  • @jamescallison same here....

  • 3 days ago, 46000 views for a camera review?

  • The guy doing the interview seems to know much more about the camera than the Sony Representative!!!

  • how many CIPA they have????

  • Comment removed

  • This camera is soooo amazing for the price!

  • as a professional automotive and sports photographer imma have to pick this one up if the specs are true.

    I have a 1d mark 3, 5d mark 2, 60D.

  • Just had a heart attack I need this ASAP-/3

  • 16-50mm 2.8 KIT??? there has to be some sort of gimmick 

  • @BlackSupraC2 Not really if you consider that if you buy the a77 with the kit lens it will cost you $600 more.

  • @SmellsLikeUpDawgg haha...missed that detail. thanks

  • god this is so awesome! I cant wait to get mine

  • $2000

  • I want it so bad

  • santa i've been a good kid this past 2 years...

  • Does Sony do financing....lol

  • if i haven't got my nikon d7000 probably i would go with this new sony a77 :)

  • Not a Pro, so I think I will be happy with my iPhone 5 in Oct. Can't wait :D

  • SO crazy

  • Thank god I held my faith in Sony when I got the a330, can't wait to upgrade.

  • Speak up, Kenta! Anthony, you're so great on camera, maybe you can coach your guests before filming.

  • Comment removed

  • how much? and the biggest question.. Will it Blend????

  • @IvaNavia wohohoho, that was really Evil ^^

  • how much?!!

  • @WPLxochitl 1400 bucks without the kit lens, 2000 with the kit lens

  • How about a full frame of this and maybe a plug in for an extra battery pack that doesn't attach to the camera one that will maybe have a shoulder strap for lengthy video applications???

  • This is not as important as the million dollar question...where will you spend eternity? See "God's Prison" to find out.

  • wow! amazing! but is there a gps?

  • I feel like Homer Simpson drooling over beer!

  • Why not get a full frame camera when it comes to this price =_=

  • @ooMEandRAFAoo then you have to wait for ever.. A full frame camera will not cost around 1000$ body only with those specs.

  • CANON

  • cANON da best!

  • That camera is really sharp!

    If you want to have a good laugh type in nutty cooking peter part 4

    and if possible please leave a comment!

  • it looks beutiful

  • finally a good kit lens!

  • I have the A700 and the A55. This is My Next Camera! I can't wait.

  • LOL sonyelectronics with 720p instead of 1080p fail

  • No 60fps in video mode??

  • That transition noise you have between takes...is really annoying. Please ask the vid editor to stop with the random sound effects ~_~.

  • anthing that can take pictures is incredible

  • @carmenimperial Exactly !! I love all camera's from film to the latest

  • Sony sucks, never a good idea to buy a Sony camera...never

  • @whufee Never say never. You have no idea whart they will release in the future.

  • @whufee gtfo?

  • but..will it fly?

  • ::drools::

  • Ill pick up the D7000 over this...

  • Dear santa...

  • @MRInordinary im jewish so il go with chanuka

  • @MRInordinary I am Santa! U've been a bad boy! So u wont be getting this! Until then! So long.....Have a sad Xmas! XDDDD

  • who care about sony and nikon when you can buy and use all legendary lens and prime lens and other lenses by canon.!

  • title epic fail

  • Why do you have the distracting music playing in the background, let them talk.

  • Ugh... just about to go for either d7000 or 7d now this shit pops up :(

  • I just wonder how is diffraction going to affect the pictures in landscape. Also the buffer is pretty short, just 13 frames in HI mode so...1 second! I'm a Canon FF User but this camera is incredibly tempting.

    Sony, go ahead and show us your new FF bodies!!

  • @aaronegro the buffer is NOT just one second! You must be out of your mind...and there's NO diffraction at all..

  • @SquirrelFromGradLife the max frames to be taken at HI is 13 Frames, this is a bit more than one second before the camera stops shooting and the buffer is fully loaded. (reading the specs) And stating there is no diffraction is just wrong. I bet diffraction kicks in at around f5.7 to f6.3.

  • @aaronegro Where do you get the information that the buffer only should contain 13 pictures? The press release from Sony says absolute nothing about a 13 frame buffer so where do you get such nonsense from.

    In the video you can see the guy shoots way more than one second bursts several times in a row and you completely ignored that which is hilarious.

  • @SquirrelFromGradLife Simple, go to dpreview page review for the a77. In the specs it says it clearly.

    Continuous buffer

    • 13 JPEG Extra Fine images

    • 18 JPEG Fine images

    • 18 JPEG Std images

    • 13 RAW images

    • 11 RAW+JPEG images

  • @aaronegro it's a preview review and it's not the first time the specs is wrong.

  • @SquirrelFromGradLife SONY seal of approval. No point in arguing further with a wall.

  • How much?

  • My old Fujifilm F1 Highspeed camera can record 60 FPS Stills in full resolution. (6MP)

    So thats the fastest digital camera!

    BTW: It also film in 1200FPS...

  • @grafli actually no your Fuji thing is not the fastest digital camera at all. They're talking about consumer digital "DSLR" type cameras... Yeah the a77 is a DSLT but it still competes with the traditional mirror operated cameras.

    The Phantom high speed camera operates at 10,000 frame and over...sooo,,,

  • @3:35 i can see a moving Mirror! WTF???

  • @grafli Your seeing the shutter move through the translucent mirror...

  • respect to Sony for the translucent mirror but how is it a DSLR if the mirror doesn't reflex?

  • @watduzhkstand4 It's not an SLR... It's SLT :) The title is wrong.

  • @NainoKami1 yea fail at the review lol

  • @watduzhkstand4 its a dslt.

    

  • @watduzhkstand4 You know that the term DSLR is commonly referred to as a family of cameras more than a specific type of camera by most people. If you ask 90% of DSLR users they have absolutely no idea how their camera works and what kind of technology that powers it right?

    It's like people putting the mirrorless Panasonic GH2 in the DSLR category. It's perfectly fine because just adding new categories just to satisfy the very anal technology purists will just add to the total confusion
