Sony A77 II body
 | Outdated Product A semi-professional SLR camera, in some characteristics approaching professional models, the successor to the original A77. Built on the basis of an APS-C matrix with a resolution of 24.3 megapixels and sensitivity up to ISO 51,200, as well as a Bionz X processor, the power of which is enough to create 3D panoramas and continuous shooting at a speed of 12 fps. It is also worth highlighting the autofocus system with 79 sensors (of which 15 are cross-shaped). The display is made rotary, its resolution is 1229K dots; viewfinder, traditionally for SLR — electronic. The camera is capable of working with SD and MS cards, and communications include Wi-Fi and even an NFC. E-Catalog uses affiliate links compensated by our partners. |

I was choosing a camera for active travels. I was afraid to go for a classic DSLR (with a swinging mirror), while here, there's an interesting technology of a stationary translucent mirror. Plus, I've always trusted Sony; they make great tech. Good pictures are achieved in automatic and semi-automatic modes. And if the automation misses, you can always adjust the RAW file. If you start taking manual settings seriously, you begin to understand how extensive the camera's capabilities are. With the 18-135mm lens, sharpness is achieved instantly. I photographed my son playing football and appreciated the focus work. At the football match, the burst shooting mode, special “mode 12,” and continuous autofocus were useful. In this mode, the camera takes 12 full-frame shots per second, and autofocus tracks a pre-selected object. This combination is perfect for photographing sports events. I never thought that such shots could be taken with an amateur camera. It also shoots full HD video at 60 frames per second. The screen at the back is excellent, and its mounting and swivel system is simply superb. It rotates 360 degrees, allowing you to shoot from absolutely any angle; my wife took selfies. The auxiliary screen on the top edge of the body is also useful. It has moisture and dust protection. I’ve already been caught in a couple of downpours, and the camera survived without problems. There's quite a bit of noise in the image at high sensor sensitivity. I expected more battery life. |
Sony DSLRs stand out among their own kind with a specific design of the mirror mechanism. Unlike competing models, it is translucent and motionless, which allows you to distribute the light fluxes on two fronts: the camera matrix and the autofocus system.
translucent mirror
Theoretically, a translucent mirror can block up to 30% of the light flux, and for shooting in low light conditions, you need to raise the ISO values \u200b\u200btoo much, which inevitably leads to noise in photographs. In fact, some of the light is really lost when passing through the mirror, but this is not so critical — good pictures are obtained up to ISO 3200. But autofocus only wins — it does not get distracted from the focus process while the mirror is raised, thanks to which it quickly and tenaciously catches the subject even in the dark or while filming. The autofocus system has 79 points, 15 of which are cross-shaped.
Reporting qualities
In a separate line, it is necessary to note the excellent reporter qualities of the camera. When you select a special mode on the selector dial, continuous shooting with tracking autofocus can accelerate to 12 fps. At maximum speed, the buffer starts to choke after a series of 60 JPEG shots.
sighting
The use of a translucent mirror in the design forced Japanese engineers to equip the camera with an electronic viewfinder. Its advantages are revealed when shooting a video: through the peephole you can see the picture as it will be at the output. In addition to the viewfinder, the camera has in its arsenal a swivel display in all planes, designed to come to the rescue in the lower and upper shooting angles. The only nuance is the short battery life of the battery, the charge of which goes to ensure the output of the image.
Maximum possibilities
The Sony Alpha SLT-A77 II is the ultimate camera for advanced photography enthusiasts. But the abundance of automatic modes and pre-installed shooting scenarios will not let even a beginner get confused.
- Real-time display of image correction on display (reflects exposure compensation, white balance, creative style)
- Shooting 3D panoramas
