Here comes the hotstepper… Murderer
Germany: delivery between 23 and 26 – I cross my fingers 🙂
Who cares?
I do. No doubt many other do and those that have pre-ordered certainly will!
I do .. I sold my a77 for this babe
You obviously cared enough to comment in the first place…
As the saying goes “if you can’t stand the heat, get the hell out of the kitchen”.
No sign of mine yet… Wex and Sony UK are still showing it as pre-order and there’s still no sign of it on Amazon.
Yeah I am waiting for more street pricing and the comments from early adopters. A month from how I’ll have one.
It’s here 🙂
Quick flick through the menus – first impressions – can’t find a way to do eye lock AF (my main interest) and there’s an odd option in the playback menu “4K Still Image PB”
Oh, and you can choose the jpeg size/quality when in RAW+JPEG mode – great for those of us who use and eyefi (or maybe the built in wireless now) to preview snaps on an ipad with shutternitch
Great!! I hope to get mine tomorrow. Let the testing begin and now for real!
You can view 4K stills on a TV, so I guess it has to do with that?
What’s the firmware version?
1.01
How is the responsiveness? The firmware my a77i shipped with was terrible…
Definitely feels faster than the A77 with the latest firmware
That’s great news – thanks!
Check what happens if you’d activate the Face Detection function. That might get the little Eye AF square to show up.
.
Just 1000 quid? Nice. I bought my A77 (mk1) for the same over a year after the release – and I still had to import it from Hong-Kong, cause in UK they still run for over 1300.
I should be getting my A77M2 today as well. Sony UK shipped it yesterday
IT’S HERE!!! :D:D:D
LOL
I cant par with this A77MKII… too bad
You can’t what?
Take it easy on us.. We suck when it comes to English language.. But I stand beside you with this ..
@Pancanikonpus .. You can’t what !
A quick unedited (apart from a round trip through IDC and LR) 100% crop at ISO1600 – looks noticably cleaner than A77 to me…
not sure what happened there – try this link

Get yourself to Dyxum, I’m sure people will want answers and samples!
Christ no – I hate taking “test shots” at the best of times and the thought of pixel peepers talking bollocks about the “quality” of my shots, claiming they’re crap as ISO tests because 1 pixel is blown or something makes me want to slam their faces into the brick walls they love to photograph.
Or it would if I wasn’t such a nice person 🙂
“claiming they’re crap as ISO tests because 1 pixel is blown or something”
Well now you come to mention it….
Will Lightroom 4.5 open A77ii raw files?
I am assuming Andy used IDC to open the RAW as LR doesn’t support it yet?
LR 5.4 won’t so I very much doubt it earlier versions will. There will probably be a camera raw update sooner rather than later, but if using an old version of LR you might be out of luck
Ah. I was hoping that 4.5 would be able to open them even if it cant recognize them. I guess I’ll have to upgrade LR again… That’s the way it goes!
Or use the free DNG converter once it’s added A77ii support?
Yes, true! I had tried that years ago and didnt like it – I might give it a go again once the time comes.

Lucky for some. Been told by Sony today I will not see mine with the kit lens till June, even though it said delivery for the 20/21st May.
In the UK? Sony UK have gone from out of stock to in stock again today (Fri 23rd).
Sony Canada is shipping the A77 II body only (not sure about the lens kits). I received my confirmation shipping email on May 23rd.
