Sony's new flagship brings Translucent Mirror Technology to a 'full frame' camera, along with a new 24.3 MP sensor, hybrid autofocusing and Full HD movie recording.
Sony Alpha A99 Hands-on - We take a closer look at Sony's full-frame, 24-megapixel DSLR.
A pleasure to use and packed with innovative features, but there are a few shortcomings too
Sony gets back in the full-frame game
While Sony’s 24.3-million-pixel, full-frame Alpha 99 has a glittering specification on paper, the true test is how the camera handles a number of demanding situations in the field. Read the Sony Alpha 99 review...
Photokina kicks off in just over a week, and a swathe of new camera leaks are hitting the web. Sony's a99 is the latest to fall foul of the rumour mill, with their forthcoming full-frame DSLR having what appear to...
The Sony SLT A99 II is the Japanese electronic giant’s latest full-frame, DSLR-style, interchangeable-lens camera. Packing a 42Mp backside-illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor, the A99 II offers a significant jump in resolution over its predecessor and achieves an impressive overall DxOMark score of 92 points. Benefiting from a pixel arrangement that increases the volume and quality of light captured by its imaging elements, a BSI sensor improves low-light image quality.
In our hands-on Sony a99 II review, we take a look at Sony's newest Alpha series camera, where we found a full-frame camera in an APS-C body.
After a run of compact digicams it sure was a change of scenery to grasp this major one for review. However, I was surprised at how easily I fell into its working modes. Am I getting more camera-wise or is the Alpha SLT-A99 more user-friendly? I suspect the latter because, when you run your eyes […]
The first full-frame SLT has plenty of strengths such as a fast burst mode, great movie mode and quality pictures, but comes up a little short
What's the best camera for shooting sports and action? Fast continuous shooting, reliable autofocus and great battery life are just three of the most important factors. In this buying guide we've rounded-up several great cameras for shooting sports and action, and recommended the best.
The Sony SLT-A99 is the Japanese camera maker's flagship model, aimed squarely at DSLR enthusiasts who will settle for nothing less than a full frame sensor in a rugged body with a plethora of external and customizable controls. It arrives almost four years after its predecessor, the A900, the company's first full frame DSLR. You'd certainly expect significant new features given such a long gap between products and Sony has lost no opportunity to equip the A99 with every bit of electronic expertise they've incorporated into their NEX and SLT models in the interim. Whereas the A900 was a defiantly conventional SLR that would have been immediately familiar to Konica Minolta film-camera users, the A99 is something of a technological tour-de-force.
Sony adds a 'full frame' model to its popular SLT Alpha camera line-up.
We post sample photos from the brand new Sony Alpha a99 DSLT with 24.3 megapixel sensor.
