  • The Sony Alpha a99 SLT-A99V has a lot going for it, including excellent photos and very good video, a well-constructed and well-designed body, solid performance, and a great feature set
  • For some folks, things like the lack of CompactFlash, poor battery life, and compromises on video autofocus may not be reasonable trade-offs
  • The Sony Alpha SLT-A99V is a generally great camera that's equally adept at both stills and video, but with a few caveats.

  • Excellent high ISO performance. Fast focus for stills and video. 5.7fps shooting. Quiet. Articulating rear LCD. 1080p60 video capture. Integrated GPS.
  • No optical viewfinder. Lacks built-in flash
  • The Sony Alpha 99 is a full-featured full-frame D-SLR that can focus as quickly when recording video as it does for still images, but it doesn't have an optical viewfinder....

  • Great image quality, AFD is the best tracking system we've seen, Excellent stabilization builtin for video, Fast FPS shooting, Center focusing point is extremely quick, Fairly silent shutter, Amazing EVF
  • Autofocus is only best in the center, Very short battery life, Slow startup, A tad more smudging at the higher ISOs than we'd like, Deep menus that aren't intuitive at first, No autofocus in manual video mode
  • By all means, this is a camera that can hold its own with the 5D Mk III and D800. Though its standard autofocus may not be as good as its competitors, where it excels is in tracking focusing. Many photographers still like using the center focusing point a...

  • Even though the Canon won our 2012 Camera of the Year award (see page 58), the Sony A99 remains one of the best new cameras we've seen this year. It shows that the new perspectives being brought to photography by the likes of traditional electronics compa...
