Details have nowhere to hide.

potential of Translucent Mirror Technology, the 35mm full-frame format and
Sonys professional broadcasting technology, it takes a major leap forward in
quality, performance and handling ease. Meet the future of Sony α.
Full-frame brilliance.
Capture it all with the 24.3MP effective 35mm full-frame sensor, 14-bit RAW
output and a normal sensor range of ISO 100"32000. Add a sophisticated balance
of high-resolving power, gradation and low noise and you're in for a shuttering
experience.
Set your footage free.
The a99 gives you the ability to record Full HD 1080 video at a spectrum of
professional frame rates, including 60p, 60i and 24p. Plus, you can output
uncompressed, clean-screen 60p/60i video files via HDMI to external recording
devices.
Take it to the limit.
With a sensitivity selectable up to ISO 25600, the a99 handles low-light
shooting without a flash (recommended for still subjects). That means it can
capture up to six images in just a fraction of a second. Combining the data from
all six, it creates a single image with a noise reduction equivalent to two
additional steps of ISO sensitivity.
Dual AF grabs the singular moment.
Take advantage of the world's first Dual Phase Detect AF system and perfectly
capture the decisive moment with tack-sharp precision. The 19-point AF system
with 11 cross sensors is complemented by a multi-point focal plane
phase-detection AF sensor with 102 AF points overlaying the image sensor. In
addition, the a99 utilizes Translucent Mirror Technology to simultaneously
direct light to the image sensor and AF sensor at all times. The result? Crisp,
sharp, perfectly-focused photographs.
Keep shooting.
Keep the shoot alive and quickly change settings with just the right hand while
still shooting photos. All is possible with the Alpha a99, which features an
enhanced version of Quick Navi"highly acclaimed in Alpha a900 and a700 cameras.
This version, called Quick Navi Pro, allows users to immediately access all
camera parameter settings easily and intuitively, so you don't miss the action.

you are. Professional specifications include a 33.3 viewing angle, high 27mm
eye-point and 100% frame coverage. And with accelerated OLED response, motion
blur and residual images are virtually eliminated when tracking moving objects
or displaying recorded movies.

up to 6 fps using the Continuous Advanced Priority AE mode.
3-Way Tiltable LCD

shooting position.

camera. Weighing in at only 740 grams thanks to features like Translucent Mirror
Technology and high-rigidity magnesium alloy panels, that translates to agile
