Sony SLT-A77, 70-200mm at 200mm (300mm equiv.), P, 1/320 sec., f/5.6, Pattern, ISO 1600

We attended the Sony Press Briefing this morning at Polson Pier, Toronto and got to try out all the new Alpha and NEX cameras. Also available to try were the new A-mount and E-mount lenses. We share our hands-on first impressions here and will report in more detail as we get production models for reviews.

First impressions are that the Sony NEX-7 [QuickPrice Check] and Sony SLT-A77 [QuickPrice Check] are definitely going to garner lots of interest among enthusiasts. I like that Sony is fearlessly forging ahead with using the APS-C large sensor and there’s no hint of going backward with using small sensors in their interchangeable lens cameras. An interchangeable lens camera with a small sensor just does not make much sense to me: why waste money on a camera body and expensive lenses and equipment when you are not getting any appreciable image quality and low-light capability gain?
