Sony A77 MkII Digital SLR Camera + 16-50mm Lens

The Sony α77 MKII is an upgrade to Sony's polular semi-pro SLT Camera, the α77. Improved features on the α77 II include a new 24 megapixel APS-C CMOS Sensor, an incredible 79 point (15 cross-type) AF Sensor and 1.23m dot RGBW LCD screen. 24.3 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor — up to ISO 25600Breathtaking image quality is yours at 24.3 megapixel resolution, thanks to Sony’s proprietary latest-generation image sensor with gapless on-chip lens design that delivers an extra-wide sensitivity range of ISO 100 to ISO 25600, expandable to ISO 50.BIONZ X image processing engineThis latest-generation engine faithfully reproduces textures and details in real time, as seen by the naked eye, via extra high-speed processing capabilities. Whether shooting still images or video, it enables natural details, realistic images, rich tonal gradations and low noise.Dedicated AF sensor with 79 phase-detection AF pointsDiscover the breakthrough autofocusing and tracking reliability of Sony’s newly developed AF system with the world’s highest number of phase-detection AF points (as of 1 May 2014). By spreading the points densely over an area approximately twice as wide as in the α77, fine-tuning the balance between responsiveness and stability, and taking full advantage of the many benefits of proprietary Translucent Mirror Technology (which enables phase-detection AF during live-view and video shooting), Sony optimised subject tracking to stay locked on to your subject even in conditions that professional cameras find a challenge. The α77 II also realises impressive focusing accuracy when a large-aperture lens is mounted, thanks to an F2.8 AF point placed horizontally in the centre of the sensor. Moreover, AF performs extremely well in low-light conditions — as low as EV -2 (ISO 100).12 fps up to 60 frames with AF trackingFast 12fps continuous shooting lets you capture the decisive moment with stunning clarity at full 24.3 megapixel resolution even when tracking fast-moving subjects. Up to 60 frames can be recorded per burst.Sophisticated AF algorithmThrough exhaustive field testing, Sony developed an AF algorithm that strikes the perfect balance of speed and stability. Highly responsive to changes in fast-moving scenes, it nevertheless stays solidly locked on your subject without being distracted by nearby objects. By accurately analysing detailed AF metering data from the 79 AF points, as well as subject position data that takes subject movement continuity into account, it accurately predicts the subject’s next move to reliably ensure accurate focusing. Tracking performance is even further improved when using the Lock-on AF function, which analyses information on subject colour as well as subject position.Enhanced in-body image stabilisationSteadyShot image stabilisation lets you enjoy handheld shooting with minimal camera-shake blur. Built within the camera, it provides effective image stabilisation for any compatible lens throughout the ent
