5 out of 5 stars   I bought an A 77 Sony digital camera outfit.
By Pepper Morris on May 30, 2014
Review submitted for Sony SLTA77VQ a77 Digital SLR 24.3 MP with 16-50mm, 55-300 Ultimate Bundle (E6SNSLTA77VQ)
Pros: I bought it after looking for 3 months and found their Kit was all the equipment I needed. I have $5,000 of old SLR 35mm equipment and was looking for the new technology. This kit fills my idea of what I needed. Got it in about 4 or 5 days in good shape. Lots of good packing.
Cons: They should have given it to me free cuz I'm such a good guy. That's the only con I can come up with.
Other Comments: They should have sent me a store person to show me how to use it. MAYBE that's what on the DVD enclosed. I may have to look into that. At 69 years of age I do look at the directions before I try to use anything. -------RIGHT

5 out of 5 stars   Good enthusiast camera
By Dmitry Pushkov on May 16, 2014
Review submitted for Sony SLTA77V - a77 Digital SLR 24.3 MP Body Only (SNSLTA77V)
Pros: Huge resolution, customizable, Minolta lenses, GPS. Adequate price.
Cons: Specific SLT technology for still imaging: light falloff - 0.3 EV.
Other Comments: I love '80 Minolta optics. Therefore I need to buy Sony alpha camera. Sony A99 is very expensive for me and it hasn't GPS.

5 out of 5 stars   Best camera for the price
By Louis on February 26, 2014
Review submitted for Sony SLTA77VQ - a77 Digital SLR 24.3 MP with 16-50mm Zoom Lens (SNSLTA77VQ)
Pros: It's my 4th time buying a Sony A77. Mostly everything about it is just better than rivals'. Best value camera for the money. Not forget to mention the superb quality of the 16-50mm f/2.8 lens. I has a feeling that this lens has some qualities of a G lens.
Cons: Just only 1 memory card slot (compared to 2 slots of Nikon D7000 and D7100). Poor ISO performance.
Other Comments: Although there are some cons about the camera body itself, I still give it fully 5 stars due to the features it offers at a very reasonably low price.

4 out of 5 stars   Sony A77 Kit not so great
By Marsh.16 on December 25, 2013
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Sony SLTA77VQ - a77 Digital SLR 24.3 MP with 16-50mm Zoom Lens Plus Bundle (E3SNSLTA77VQ)
Pros: Fast / Accurate Auto-Focus, Large Clear LCD, Good Image Quality, Good Image Stabilization, Easy To Use, Fast Shutter Speed
Cons: Short Battery Life
Other Comments: With this camera I will be upgrading from a Canon SX-40 to a good Sony DSLR with a good 16-50 SSM lens. I have already taken advantage of being able to use Minolta A-mount lenses. The 55-300mm lens that came with this kit sucks and I wish Beach Camera would take the lens back for an exchange.

4 out of 5 stars   Overall excellent camera!
By chilehead craig on August 23, 2013
Review submitted for Sony SLTA77VQ - a77 Digital SLR 24.3 MP with 16-50mm Zoom Lens Plus Bundle (E3SNSLTA77VQ)
Pros: Tilt /Swivel LCD, Quiet, Fast Shutter Speed, Large Clear LCD, Good Image Stabilization, Fast / Accurate Auto-Focus, Easy To Use, Good Image Quality
Cons: Poor In Low Light, Noisy At High ISO
Other Comments: Really great camera and this bundle was a bargain! The camera works so well on so many levels. The things that I really liked are the EFV, awesome 16-50 "kit" lens and the ergonomics. Its pretty straightforward to use. The downside is that images get a little noisy at 800 ISO and up. Other than performing a little lower with regard to noise, the positives more than make up for it unless low noise is absolutely critical (if the majority of your shots will be indoors in low light and no flash).

5 out of 5 stars   Better then I could have dreamed
By Zipper on January 20, 2013

Review submitted for Sony SLTA77VQ a77 Digital SLR 24.3 MP with 16-50mm, 55-300 Ultimate Bundle (E6SNSLTA77VQ)
Pros:
Cons:
Other Comments: Really had no idea what 24 mega pixel would look like, but now that I have seen the detail (had 16mega pixel Pentax)I'm shocked with the texture of Feathers, Fur and Landscape [photography. Qualtity of the camera and optics is wonderful. If you are upgrading your camera I highly recommend the Sony a77. Only short coming have been lack of wireless remote sensor on the back of the camera and battery life is short. Really short.

5 out of 5 stars   Pretty Darn Nice Camera
By Ironworker Local 86 on January 12, 2013
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Sony SLTA77V - a77 Digital SLR 24.3 MP Body Bundle (E1SNSLTA77V)
Pros: Fast Shutter Speed, Quiet, Good Image Stabilization, Large Clear LCD, Tilt /Swivel LCD
Cons:
Other Comments: I think it is a fantastic camera, although admittedly I am still learning to use it. I chose the Sony as it would accept my old lenses from my 35 mm camera. I was able to buy a superior camera for less. The camrera is much more advanced than I am, but there is room to advance and learn. The auto and auto+ take pretty good pictures without me doing anything cognitive.

4 out of 5 stars   Good Camera, Don't buy a bundle!
By Steve on January 08, 2013
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Sony SLTA77V - a77 Digital SLR 24.3 MP Body Only (SNSLTA77V)
Pros: Good Image Quality, Good Image Stabilization, Tilt /Swivel LCD, Large Clear LCD
Cons: Short Battery Life
Other Comments: The worst part of the experience was buying from Beach. I'd bought directly from sony before and my A55 had come with a clear plastic protective film on the lcd monitor and a taped up box. The a77 from beach arrived with no seal and no protective film. I was concerned since Beach also sells open box cameras. I called and they told me I could send it back, so I assumed I had been given an open box by mistake. a friend told me I should call Sony and the operator said that after so many A77s are produced, they stop putting the protective film on and stop sealing the box. Even so, no one from Beach explained this to me and a week later, I received the SAME camera I'd sent to them in the first place! Also, I bought a bundle and all the "extras" are cheap. I feel like I got ripped off.
