A77 vs A900:

I'll put aside the question of image quality for the moment, since I am not commenting directly on this until I can test a full production A77. But I have no hesitation in saying that the A77's three year newer sensor is bound to trump that of the A900 at higher ISOs, say above 800. At lower ISOs it may be a push, but based on some very informal first impressions I think that we'll find that the A77's sensor is capable of greater dynamic range as well as lower noise. Not at all surprising, even given the higher pixel pitch of the new camera's smaller sensor. Sony has clearly made some great strides in sensor design during the past few years. (Scaling the A77's sensor up to full frame would yield what? A 45 Megapixel resolution? Fascinating to contemplate.

So, for the moment – A900 or A77? A tough call. The A900 currently sells for some $2,700; a full $1,200 dollars more than the new A77. The A77 is weatherproof, has higher frame rates, GPS, electronic level, an articulated LCD, and a built in flash. The A900 has one of the world's best (and maybe last) large and bright reflex prism viewfinders. Like I said – a tough call.

Still trying to decide myself. It is tempting. Will probably off load my @700 if I do.

EEEEVIL. I am pretty excited to try out the A77. Tough call between that and the NEX-7 for my use. Maybe both...

Looks like the AF keeps up for 12fps nicely: Schneller Ersteindruck: alpha 77 von Sony | photoscala

Working its way up the Amazon top sellers along with the NEX-7 already:

24mp @ 12FPS?! That's 288mp/sec! Holy processing speed!
Looks like Sony stole the release week this year. Nikon and Canon released like 14 P&S toys, and Sony announces a monster.

...Was that the primary buffer panel?

Hmm....

I'm trying to figure out how I can get ahold of that A65...the a77 is out of my price range, though.
