Sony A77 Press Release

After months of speculation, Sony finally made a press release regarding their new translucent mirror cameras, the Sony A77 & A65. Speculations about the sensor size were accurate, as the A77 boasts a 24.3 megapixel sensor. The camera can shoot up to 12 fps (at full resolution!) due to the lack of an optical viewfinder, and it comes with a high resolution live view screen. Both cameras will be available in October of this year, with a MSRP of $1400 (body only).

 

First Look at the Sony A77

Late last week, a video with the Sony A77 popped up onto YouTube. Considering it is a new YouTube account, as well as the way the video was edited, many people believe it was intentionally “leaked” to get people excited about the new camera. See for yourself what it looks like in the video below.

P.S. Please don’t leave your cameras in a pile of sand. It’s not a good idea. lol
