“SLR, but not quite” — this statement fits perfectly with the Sony Alpha A99. Professional cameras from Sony stood out for their features among other players in the photography market even before the advent of mirrorless cameras.
First side of the coin
The cardinal differences between the camera and the DSLRs familiar to us lie in the translucent mirror mechanism and the presence of an electronic viewfinder instead of an optical one. Theoretically, a translucent mirror can block up to 30% of the light flux, which will require more light to capture the frame. And the information on the electronic viewfinder is fed with a slight delay, after processing by the matrix. This is on the one hand.
The other side of the coin
On the other hand, the use of a translucent mirror made it possible to introduce a dual focus system that catches the subject almost instantly. And the delay in the viewfinder is almost impossible to notice with the naked eye, but you can display any service information on it and the image on the screen or in the viewfinder eye will be exactly the same as the final photo. The downside lies only in the fact that the real-time image display mode quickly “eats up” the battery charge.
For all
A full-frame camera from Sony can be recommended both to advanced photo enthusiasts who will appreciate it for thoughtful ergonomics, and to videographers, since video recording is another strong point of the model. Even a beginner in the world of photography will find it easy to understand everything — a number of plots and software functions are provided to help him.
