 a77 Sony Alpha A77 Review: As it turns out, all of  the A77's I used both prior to announcement by Sony and afterwards were final production cameras. At least they were in terms of  image quality (used 1.02 for most of the testing). In total I have used three separate A77's and know this camera quite well as a result. A new firmware upgrade (v1.03) gives a few tweaks to the overall operational performance of the A77 but from what I've seen first hand and gathered, they aren't substantial. Therefore, I offer to you my final review of the A77, as it stands today based on the current firmware version 1.03.

Since I've already completed a couple articles on the A77 (First Impressions and Preview) there's not a whole lot more to go into regarding my final summary. However, a few key topics haven't been discussed which I shall do here, nor has my final conclusion about this camera been reached until now. So lets cover the topics I haven't yet with the two articles above, and get down to the conclusion of Sony's new flagship DSLT (as of today's writing).

Sony Alpha A33 SLT Review- The New Kid On The Block?

There's been a lot of curiosity shown in the photographic industry about Sony's new Alpha A33 and A55 SLT (Single Lens Translucent) cameras. In reality, there's really only one new type of technology in these cameras that should garner a raised eyebrow. We review Sony's Alpha A33 SLT first here on AlphaMountWorld because it is the least expensive model of the two and quite frankly, the first available.

A77

Monday I met up with Sony to have a camera and Q/A fest. It's been a while since I've seen that group, so it was nice to get together again to discuss Sony's huge announcements of products. I was treated to all of the announced products- cameras and lenses alike, and got a rough feel for them all. After meeting with Sony on Monday, I was graciously loaned the Sony A77 and A65 DSLT cameras in pre-production form so I could evaluate some functions of these cameras. For now I'll share my first impression thoughts about the A77 with you. A full review will be prepared on a final A77 at a later date.
