Sony Alpha A77 II

 

The long-awaited A77 II iadds solid improvements all round, including superb AF

Fantastic AF with superior tracking ; Excellent LCD ; Solid build quality ; Excellent overall image quality

Menus take some getting used to ; GPS tagging has been removed ; Some issues at high ISO

Some may bemoan the aforementioned loss of GPS tagging, but it’s really not inconceivable that Sony could release a dedicated image geotagging app that works with the GPS of the smart device with which the camera is paired.

Sony Alpha 77 Mark II review

 

Sony's enthusiast-level SLT gets a speed boost as well as better image quality

24Mp sensor captures lots of detail ; Excellent AF system ; Good noise control

Cumbersome articulating mechanism on the screen ; 12fps option on the mode dial rather than within the continuous shooting options ; No touch-screen

Image quality from this camera is excellent, even at high sensitivity settings. Also, the autofocus system is fast and accurate; it can even cope with very low light levels, making this a great camera for enthusiasts who want to shoot a range of...

Sony Alpha a77 II review

  (Rating Hidden)

The Sony Alpha a77 II is the successor to the Best Buy award-winning Alpha a77; one of Sony's second-generation single-lens-translucent (SLT) cameras, and a fearsome rival to conventional DSLRs. The original model was a high-performance camera that...

Sony A77 MkII

 

Sony's A77 II boasts a mouth-watering AF system, but can it take the APS-C D-SLR crown?

Sony launched the A77 II claiming it would be ‘King of the APS-C’, and when you put the specs to the test it’s difficult to argue otherwise. It certainly does trump its main rivals on AF points and frame rate, and when you consider the impressively...

Sony SLT-A77 II Review

 

The Sony SLT-A77 II is - as the name implies - an overhaul of the original A77, from from 2011. The A77 Mark II features a new autofocus sensor, and it's much more than a refreshed version of an existing design. Instead the A77 II is built around the...

12 fps burst with AF-C is useful for fast action Continuous AF is effective during still and video capture Face detection works well Good build quality and overall ergonomics SteadyShot is useful in both still and video capture Ability to record video...

Lock-on AF functionality is hit or miss Noisy high ISO images Heavy noise reduction in JPEG 12 fps mode offers little to no control over shutter speed and aperture Only 15 cross-type AF points, limited to a central portion of the frame No way to...

Sony is not a company that could ever be accused of not trying. Eight years on from buying Konica Minolta's camera business, Sony has produced more than forty interchangeable lens cameras based on at least three fundamental design approaches:...

Sony Alpha 77 II

 

The Sony Alpha 77 II has one of the quickest autofocus systems we've seen on an SLR and can shoot at 12fps, making it our Editors' Choice.

Excellent high ISO image quality. 12fps continuous shooting. Fast, 79-point autofocus system. In-body stabilization. Sharp OLED EVF. Excellent control layout. Sharp, articulated rear LCD. Seamless Live View experience. Built-in Wi-Fi. PC sync flash...

A little slow to start and shoot. Single memory card slot. No built-in GPS. Some photographers prefer an optical viewfinder.

Remote control is also supported, but it's very limited. The Alpha 77 II streams a smooth Live View feed to your phone's display, but you're only able to toggle the flash, self-timer, and shutter. There's no way to set a focus point or exert any manual...

We've not had long with the SLT-a77 II, so we're not in a position to form particularly firm opinions. That said, it's clear that Sony has kept a lot of what was good with the original a77 - including rather nice build, handling and ergonomics. These...
