Sony a77 – World’s fastest DSLR Ever

Sony a77 DSLR Camera Review

After a long wait since Sony’s A-700 DSLR, Sony finally long much anticipated A77 DSLR in the Semi-Pro lineup. While A700 looked much like Conventional DSLR from Nikon and Canon, it can be seen from the new launch that Sony has worked harder to deliver something unique to the photo enthusiasts with A77 DSLR.

Sony A77 DSLR Camera has been claimed World’s fastest shooting DSLR including some of the high end features to deliver superb imaging quality. Despite being equipped with 24MP APS CMOS sensor, A-77 DSLR Camera makes use of patented Translucent Mirror Technology which provides shooting rate of impressive 12 frames per second. You can expect how swifter the image output (per second) with this camera is.

The Camera uses electronic viewfinder than traditional optical viewfinder. It is packed with world’s first OLED electronic viewfinder which supports high resolution of 2.4M dot which itself is a competition to company’s A900 camera. This feature is a gem for size, brightness and speed even in dim light photography. OLED also avoidsmotion blur giving superb color and resolution details.

The Camera also uses 19-point AF sensor, 11points which ensures covering each detail at vertical and horizontal axis. It intelligently uses the main sensor’s live view allowing the tracking of subjects in the frame as it moves across the frame, inculcating better understanding about Autofocus at various time and position.

You can shoot tilting its Swivel LCD Screen for different high and low angles shots which become rare chances with fixed view screen. Tilt this three way screen and position the camera in different orientations to capture the best possible shot.

Camera enables Live View of the shots using both LCD monitor and OLED Electronic Viewfinder. Compose your shots checking full details on Focus, depth of field, White balance and framing accuracy using live view mode.

Sony A77 combines latest processor with electronic first curtain shutter which ensures higher image sensitivity as expected from the semi pro users. The camera also provides support to in-camera GPS which allows organizing, retrieving images and allows geo location tagging on the images.

Sony A77 DSLR Camera offers AUTO+ mode, also called Advanced Auto Mode, which ensures that the camera automatically sets according to the valid scene mode. It makes use of Sony Intelligent technologies to give crispier and more dynamic pictures.

The camera won’t bug you with the time lag that most of the cameras offer. As soon as your press the shutter release, the image is processed within the span of 0.05 seconds which makes it world’s shortest release time lag offering camera. It ensures similar functionality even in the fast moving objects capturing.

Camera offers 11 picture effect modes including soft focus, Toy Camera, HDR painting, Rich-tone Monochrome, Posterization, Retro Photo, Partial Color, Contrast Monochrome, partial color, soft high-key and Miniature.
