If you are not saving up...

for the new SLT-a77 (or SLT-a65), you are just out of step with where SONY photography is going... and how big a leap they have made to get there. Everything has changed with these two new cameras. They may look similar to the others of the past... but once your eye is behind that viewfinder... you will see things that trigger the imagination like nothing before. 12fps shooting speed @ its full 24.3MP image size! That, alone, sets this camera apart from the rest.

Do the research on these two well-designed additions to the SONY line-up and be amazed... be very amazed.

this well-written article will specifically spell out what is so "special" about these two new cameras.

For once, the pay back from the cost of the camera seems worth the outlay.

And which lenses are you going to use that can actually take advantage and best use those 24mp? Very few, I'd wager, and those that are capable of such herculean tasks are NOT going to be inexpensive.
