While Sony's fortunes as a company have flagged a bit in the last couple of years, its camera division continues to churn out compelling, innovative products. Its large-sensor compact RX cameras have dominated the point-and-shoot market for two straight y...
A solid update at a good price that will give the competitors a run for their money. Even with body-only sale prices sure to dive to sub-$1,000 levels soon, the Sony A77 II is aimed squarely at the "prosumer" market. It does a good job of implementing...

What is the Sony Alpha A77 II No one can accuse the Sony Alpha 77 II of lacking ambition. It's been described (by the people who made it) as ‘The King of APS-C' a title that purports to put it above the Canon EOS 7D and the Nikon D7100 . Lofty. Given tha...

Solidly built and boasting top-notch autofocus, the Alpha 77 II is jostling with high-end DSLRs at a price point that's hard to argue with. You won't want to push your images past ISO 6400 too often, but this really is a fine offering from Sony. Built-in...

Solid: The Sony a77II DSLR is fabulous, but heavy.In the big corner, weighing in at 726 grams, we have the a77II, and in the small corner we have the Sony a7 CSC, a flyweight at 474g. There is a similar difference in the weight of the kit lenses.We didn't...
Verdict: One of the advantages mirrorless compact system cameras have over DSLRs – apart from the weight – is the sheer wealth of information displayed in viewfinder and LCD. And the simultaneous subject view through LCD and finder. Well, the Sony a77II g...
Contrast: The Sony a77II is bigger than the Sony a7 CSC, but the smaller camera has a larger sensor.Sony is a company with a curious sales strategy. It makes great digital single-lens reflex cameras and then tells you not to buy them.Remember Sony's "idio...

There's much to admire in the A77 II, but at this price that's hardly surprising. There is no shortage of outstanding cameras for around £1,000 (body only), not just in SLRs such as the Canon EOS 70D and Nikon D7100, but also in premium CSCs such as the F...

Superficially, there's not much difference between the new A77 Mark II and its predecessor, the SLT-A77 we reviewed in September 2011, aside from a slight adjustment to its name. The prefix 'SLT' (for 'single-lens translucent') is now ILCA (for 'interchan...

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 AF m...
