Sony is a relative newcomer to SLR cameras, but we can't fault it for ambition, or for innovation. It may only have an APS-C sensor, but in almost every other way it's a beast of a camera. The 24-megapixel resolution sets the record for this sensor size...

Sony’s SLT-A77 has to be one of the most hotly-anticipated cameras of recent years. Since the Alpha A700 was pulled from production there’s been something of a gap in the Alpha lineup – a gap that the A77 looks to fill. But with its SLT (Single Lens T...

But I have no hesitation in saying that the A77's three year newer sensor is bound to trump that of the A900 at higher ISOs, say above 800. At lower ISOs it may be a push, but based on some very informal first impressions I think that we'll find tha...
