A chinese forum user posted the picture on top claiming that it was taken with the Sony A77! Of course there is nothing that can confirm is this is true or not. The EXIF says it has been take with the A77 at ISO 400, f/6.3, 1/320 and with the focal length at 210mm. Exif data can easily be faked and the image itself looks like a photoshop collage…take that “rumor” with a grain of salt (it’s almost certainly fake!).
Some of our sources may have a real A77 picture to share? 🙂

If the shot is taken at ISO 16000 i think it will have more credibility.
Hm….I wonder how you could focus on the flower AND the moon and still have the rest out of focus. ; )
it’s because the moon was closer than the leaves in background, obviously.
Double exposure?
Focus bracketing! :)))))))
Fake!
Doesn’t have to be “fake”, could just be two shots blended. Whether it’s an A77 shot or not I wouldn’t care to argue, I’ll just wait for the actual reviews.
its fake, as Bernd sad, focus is impossible.
i want too see photos A77 with 500F4
without interest !
That’s such a cute cheap rumor. OOF background leaves, and then a focused moon again.
maybe it’s multi-exposure?
Yes fake, or two images in one.
post the real picture pls.
Image is fake, You can feel the DOF at green leafs and you can view moon clearly?? …the moon should have a good amount of blur…totally fake image ..
ISO 400, f/6.3, 1/320 and with the focal length at 210mm.
So it’s low ISO, a small aperture, a high shutter speed and 210mm. I don’t think so LOL!
This is not an out-of-camera image. It is photoshopped. Look at the out-of-focus-area. Looks like two images and the EXIF-data from a third image have been put together.
It was definitely photoshoped

Fake, and a bad one at that.
Here is the detail of the EXIF file.:)

The Orientation of the EXIF is incorrect too.
Really admin? Don’t you know photography at all? If this where real it would be the best camera ever made!
No interest. Completely photoshoped picture.
a)Fake
b)Multiexposure (a new feature I’ve been waiting for years) – in this case, focus was adjusted manually between exposures and flash power was adjusted to equal brightness of the moon/exposure time-
c)Auto-Multiexposure-Focus-blending (would be a new feature and I think, I’ve heard of it before) (was it a Fujifilm Cam?)
Anyway, we’ll see soon enough 😉
Looking to detailed EXIF it is defiitly a fake picture done with a 14 or 16Mpix sensor.
comon you guys, this is 100% unquestionable proof that the a77 has a tilt-and-shift sensor… and local dimming sensor. this is without a doubt going to be a chuck norris-worthy camera
hahaha! too bad chuck norris has no use for a camera. In eyes of the ranger(yeah, I just made a walker texas ranger reference), the only thing picture worthy is himself roundhouse kicking the shit out of the a77.
well, need focus+exposure blending to achieve image like this (if this was a single shot image). or something happening to the Moon and not reflecting as much Sunlight as used to, in that case we have more serious problem than obvious fake image.
This morning, the moon was already 1 day past full moon. So this picture definitely is fake.
I know it’s tempting to point this shot as impossible, but actually it is quite feasible considering a lens swap in the middle of the exposure.
I used to participate regularly on photo challenges where you couldn’t use more than one exposure and with very strict rules about PS.
This is an example: http://www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=874958
The details tell how you can do it, it’s actually much more simple doing it than explaining how.
Hello: this is the original shot, cropped… the moon is not the moon:
