Absolutely love this camera!
Just upgraded to the a77ii from the a77. These are both excellent cameras. Both have focus peaking which I find very useful for fine tuning quickly & in critical focus situations. I use the a77 and now the a77ii for photographing lacrosse games. Shooting RAW in the continuous advance Hi mode with the focus capabilities gives me great results. Also use for landscape and love the color rendition. When I first went to an electronic viewfinder I didn... Show More

Processor Speed is Amazing!
We bought the a77 II as an upgrade to our 2012 Sony a65 Camera. We shoot some HDR Photography. Our older Sony a65 took around 12 seconds to process HDR Photos, which can be very slow. This new a77 II processor takes less than 2 seconds to process HDR Photos. That's a dramatic improvement in processor speed, and makes shooting HDR exciting again. Other a77 II improvements over the a65 are Super Fine JPEG and 1/8000 shutter speed. The a77 II is sli... Show More

Incredible Amazing Camera
The only thing missing here is to make coffee, this is an impressive piece of equipment, excellent camera I use to have a Canon 60D but I switch to Sony and this camera does it all, yes they said that no pros using it, because Sony just started to make monster Cameras wait and see, the camera works flawlessly, video wise is as best or same quality as a Canon camera no much difference here, because they are using the same codec and same amount of ...

Great Camera Set
I own the Sony Alpha a700 + 18-250mm lens Got this camera as replacment with the lens kit. New Alpha a77ii works great with my 18-250mm lens. Fast autofocus with so long zoom range is very useful. I get very good sport action pictures from my daughter riding horses. It was more difficult with my older camera. 16-50mm f/2.8 lens is great lens for indoor uses and general uses. I get much better result indoor with this lens in low light conditions. ... Show More

Awesome camera!
I would like to make a nice review, with highlight's pros and cons, but one, my poor english does not permit it and two, Im just a photo enthusiast, didnt try too many other cameras before. But I will try to give my two cents. I have tried a Nikon 5200 and a 7100 before this, and so the Sony a37, and the EVF got me. I don't know if it happened because I've never took a ton of pictures before, but I only see advantages of EVF over the OVF. The pos... Show More

Nice upgrade from the a55
I haven't had the camera long(2 weeks, I haven't tried the video. I upgraded from the a55)but it is fun and easy to use. It takes great pictures, the autofocus is fast and accurate and it is quite good in low light. It is also great for sports photography, love the 12 frames per/sec and lock on autofocus. There are lots of useful features to help make you a better photographer. Great value for the price especially since you can still get a free v... Show More

Great Update to the Alpha a77
I was already a fan of the Alpha a77. Needing a second camera, I purchased the Alpha a77 II not thinking that there would be that much difference between it and the original. I was wrong. The Alpha a77 II offers so much more. It has a much more robust menu - not perfect but easier to navigate. The focusing system offers more options with the additional focus points. Although the sensor is the same number of megapixels, it is an upgraded sensor th... Show More

A great camera.
I've been a Nikon user all of my photography life but since finding Sony Cameras this year, I've sold all of my Nikon gear and moved to Sony. I tried a couple of Sony Cameras before settling on the A77 Mk II. It suits my photography more than the others, I love it. I've added a Sony battery grip so i can have two batteries and shoot for longer without having to replace batteries. This is a huge plus as well. It's a great camera and anyone wanting... Show More

A big step up!
Stepping up to the Sony Alpha a77 II DSLR was the right move. I debated whether to take the plunge. I asked on forums, read reviews, so after finding nothing negative, I took the plunge. I am very happy I did. Not only does all of the lens and accessories I had for my a77 fit I have some really amazing technology. I realize the Sony Alpha a77 II DSLR is 4 years old but it is head and shoulders above the a77 which has served me well. B&H has a 30-day return policy so I could use the a77 II to make sure it fits my needs. After 500 plus photographs, I am keeping the Sony Alpha a77 II DSLR.

Error message a concern
While this has been a good camera producing great images thus far, I'm concerned that I've already got an error message on a 5 month old camera. I've had to send the camera for repairs and that concerns me alot! It's a weird error message that's a yellow flashing hand - appears when camera cleaning in done I suspect it's the mirror; but it is still to be resolved as I haven't heard from Sony in over 3 weeks. Thought it was important for users and those thinking about purchasing to note this error. Also, I posted this on Sony's review sight and they did not put up my review - go figure!

Great For Bird Photogrpahy
This camera is a significant upgrade from my previous one, (a65) and it's proving to be very good for birds in flight. This does take a bit of trial and error to get the settings optimized as there are a number of focus modes that you could use. But once you get comfortable with several of the modes it produces very crisp, clean shots. I like the burst speed in the RAW format and it has a decent buffer. Put a fast card in it and it will hold up well. I think for all this camera can do, it's retail price is quite good and I look forward to using every time I go out to shoot.

Ore than I could have expected.
I had a Sony A55v and loved it. Sony is head and shoulders more advanced than the competition. Since purchasing the new A77 MKII, I am even more impressed. To begin with, the basics of the camera are very similar to the A55 so the learning curve was much shorter than I had expected. From there, it just gets better. The focusing choices and the new sensor are second to none, and my images are even sharper than the excellent ones I was able to capture with the A55. I am absolutely ecstatic with the A 77 MKII and am looking forward to learning even more.

All that I had hoped for and more!
I am a semi-pro. I have been using an a700 for years. Great camera, still is! The a77 mark II is a very big improvement on a great old camera. I use my a77 mostly for portrait work and some commercial work too. I could list all the new improvements Sony has made in the a77 mark II, but this has to be brief. I can not honestly find anything I do not like about my a77 mark II. Go to B&H and check out one for your self. I think you will be impressed! For the money, and in its class range I honestly do not think I could have gotten a better camera.

LOVE IT!
For me, this is an upgrade from an A55. This is a fun piece of equipment. I'm no pro by any means. I use this camera mainly when I travel. I bought this camera with the 16-50mm lens and I absolutely love it. I usually, just shoot landscapes and architecture. This is great for portraits and street photography as well. It is a lot heavier than the A55, but that was expected. I'm still learning how to use the A77II as you read this. Right now, the possibilities of individual style feel pretty endless. Thank you, B&H and Sony! :)

I LOVE this camera
I have been researching the purchase of this camera for months now. I have a Sony a350 that has served me well, but I was looking to upgrade. WOW! What a difference. Although I DO love my new gear, I have found myself still using my a350 because I know it so well. There is a lot to learn with the a77II and look forward to using it to its full potential. Purchasing from B&H made the transaction very easy. I purchased online and received it with free expedited shipping as promised. I was very pleased with my overall experience.

same problems
The A77II like the A65 I had before it front and rear focuses and that is using centre or flexible spot or the 79 point AF and most shots are noisey even at 100 or 200 ISO, some shots turn out ok but most are dissapointing, so the focus issue is not even consistent which makes it hard to fix, this happens with both handheld or on a tripod and 3 different lenses used, not a good camera, had an A580 before them and this was a good camera that took wonderful sharp shots, ahh the days before mirrorless mediocre

I'm having fun with this camera
I bought this to be my 2nd camera. I already own the A57. I was concerned about this being a larger body and my small female hands not being able to handle it, but so far it's not been problem. I didn't have a huge learning curve since it is similar to the A57. I paired this with the Tamron 150-600mm lens and I have taken some great handheld wildlife shots. This combination is not something I can hike around with, but walking around my property is fine. I'm not experienced enough to nitpik any annoyances.

Great Photographic Tool!
I have been using two Sony A700's for years never upgrading because I really didn't feel the need; not even when the Sony A77 came out. However, the A77II really was a jump forward in technology. I love the 79 Point AF system it has and the features that I did not have like an electronic level and the face feature autofocus. Yes, there's video too, but I'm not into video all that much. Though, it's nice to have. Sensor noise is also great improvement. However, better lenses are always a must anyway.

Great Camera a77II Sony
I started shooting Minolta cameras back in 1985. I have a collection of various Minolta and Sony cameras and lens and lucky for me Sony continued with the alpha mount. I purchased everything from B&H over the years and this is my 8th camera body. The big reason I have been loyal to this line is due to the replacement costs of my main prime lens Minolta 300 2.8 APO G.The A77II fits my set-up perfectly.I will be looking at the next Sony body that will be replacing the a77II in 2015 or 2016 can't wait.

Sony a77II shoots as good as it feels
This Sony a77II has a good heft to it, especially helpful when mounting a big telephoto lens. Enhanced capabilities over earlier Sony DSLTs (which remain good cameras, in my opinion) makes this a Great camera. I use it for tracking fast moving aircraft with a Sigma 150-500mm lens. The only issue I find (and I am still new at this body) is the digital viewfinder image sometimes freezes when I am trying to rezoom and shoot. The 1080 60P video is great, as is the DSLT way of shooting video.

WOW !!! Really, wow.
I bought the A700 soon after it came out. I filled out my lens kit and have loved shooting with it. I've always loved the results, even with the occasional back-focus problems. I looked at the A77 when it first came out but descided to wait until they released a firmware upgrade to allow for a clean HDMI output. I bought a VG-10 with an Alpha Lens adapter for the interm. But now. Everything is new again. The EVF is excellent and the focus peaking is almost reason to upgrade by itself.

Give this up grade a try
I use this camera primarily for Landscape. Right now there isn't much of anything of interest to photograph. However just trying it out any way I can I find it very good. Very sharp photo's and very quick to focus. It looks as tho' this is going to be a worth while up grade from the A77. I am still learning the many advantages of this camera over the a77 and am waiting for the trees and bushes to flower as usual this Spring and then the colorful leaves of fall.

Flagship apsc camera
I bought this camera as an upgrade from my Sony A65 and I am very impressed with the image quality. The new sensor in this camera is a very noticable improvement. Better sharpness, contrast and dynamic range. I love this camera. It also has every feature I could want - 3 or 5 shot HDR's in various exposure steps, 8000th sec shutter speed, fully articulated screen, same viewfinder as th A99. I could go on and on. I would buy this again in a heartbeat.

Happy Shooter!
I upgraded from the Sony a55, and I am blown away by how sharp and bright my images are especially in low light. I haven't pushed it to it's limits yet but I'm going to. My daughter plays basketball and I am looking forward to capturing lots of action shots in the poorly lit school gym where she plays. I am going to have to get use to the difference in size and weight compared to what I was shooting with. If you haven't tried this camera you should!
